Lieberman is not a right extremists! So, why is he perceived as one? The answer is English. Who ever hears him in Russian knows right away he is NOT an extremists. Obviously, if Lieberman`s opponents speak English it has an advantage over him speaking Hebrew or Russian - same true in Putin - Bush comparison. Bush tortures in prisons, but explains in English how bad Putin is. Direct listening by a three Billion English speaker community in the world leaves a very strong mind set. The translations and editings of Lieberman`s or Putin`s speeches are far less effective.
