To say they are minority fringe means that not a lot of people share their opinion - they are unlikely to take power.
To say they are cranks means that not a lot of people *should* share their opinion - they're talking rubbish, as we say over here. They're trying to sell snake oil to gullible people, either because they have an angle, or because they're every bit as stupid as the people they're likely to attract.
