A politician or media personality who continuously discusses extremists and extreme positions about public policy or cultural values so as to help slide a metaphorical "window" of acceptance over views what were once considered radical and far outside the mainstream. By often illustrating or focusing discussion on the extreme and radical exceptions and outliers, the previously unacceptable extremes will appear less extreme, and soon come to be seen as a broadly held public view. And once this occurs, it can be voiced, debated, accepted, and generally framed or enacted as a serious premise or rationale for a policy or behavior.
On the air, the talk show host continuously featured guests talking about placing armed troops, and even land mines on the nation's borders, when his true position was a far less radical policy of better enforcement of immigration laws and policy. He was clearly another in a growing army of Overton sliders who have achieved a disturbing level of prominence in modern broadcasting.

A bad odor commonly associated with yeast infections.
Someone smells like chuck overton around here.
1. A political theory invented by arch-conservative Joseph Overton, VP of the anti-tax Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland, Michigan. (Overton died in 2003 when his ultra-light airplane crashed.)
2. The name of a poorly-written novel by right-wing talk show host Glen Beck. Published in early 2010, the book is a cautionary tale about leftist radicals taking over the government through incremental change.
In theory, the Overton Window represents the boundaries of "acceptable" public policy and discourse -- what a politician can support without seeming too "extreme." Opposing forces try to broaden this window (or shift it to one side) to make formerly "radical" ideas seem more "mainstream."
Overton's theory has a decidedly pro-business, anti-regulation slant. Something is either "more free" or "less free" in his view. He never mentions "more just" or "more fair" or "more practical." In fact, the entire theory tailor made for paranoid people and right-wing lunatics who think Obama is a totalitarian Marxist dictator bent on world domination.
The Overton Window is yet another idiotic theory masquerading as a "breakthrough" in political understanding. Its leading proponent is Glen Beck of Fox News...'nuf said.
