Mr. Radical himself speaks! Someone needs to tell Barry that HE is the definition of “radical”.

Not random at all. He's painting Ryan and the GOP radicals. Soon we'll be hearing it's "too risky," "too extreme" and other old talking points.

He knows the playbook.

A "Love Note" Sent To Jim Robinson

“I do so enjoy these money raising pleas. Too bad you kicked off so many patriots back in the day that criticizing the big spending Bush was a cardinal sin on the so called conservative free republic.

Nope, I will happily continue to freeload information from this site. If the lights go dark, well, so be it...”

Says the moron who launched his political career in Bill Ayer’s living room.

If you want an example of radical, just envision Obama with absolute power and no checks and balances.
