I don’t know if Clint Eastwood coined that phrase or not, but if he did he deserves a medal. He uttered it in response to criticism from the hypersensitive religious right, many of whom are complaining about his hit movie “Million Dollar Baby” because it portrays a euthanasia scene. I don’t have time to comment in detail, but this article in the Kansas City Star says it well enough. I think the phrase works just as well in reverse too.
If you go far enough to the right you encounter “the same idiots coming around from the left.”
