Breitbart's Big Journalism ^ | November 4, 2014 | AWR Hawkins

I guess Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, George Washington, Ben Franklin, and all of the other founding fathers were “extremists.”

That’s funny. I do not see a lot of pro choice people being attracted to her.

Pot calling the kettle black, isn’t every stance of the Huffandpuff post an appeal to extremists? But then only a communist rag would consider those who treasure the Second Amendment extremists.

We’ve got all those “extreme” sports and “extreme” athletes out there. I appreciate the communists referring to me as an extremist. Makes an old guy feel young again.

HRH George III thought Jefferson, Adams, Washington, and Franklin were extremists too.
