He is really focussing on the right now. He even won O'Reilly over. Christopher Hitchens has switched over to supporting Obama.
People don't see the significance of the fact that every association he has is leftist/black radical. Even his wife!!
If he was interviewed by the left now, and said the crazy leftist things that he thinks, in order to please the interviewer. THEN, he would loose favour with the right.
Now he has the left in his pocket. He could talk as right wing as O'Reilly and the left won't care. So he has shifted his rhetoric to the right a bit..
And even the rare occassion where he offers a proper discussion, his talk is slightly to the right. Judging by his talk to O'Reilly. He is clearly an opportunist.
