But, that's just my opinion.

I'm sure there have been years in the past where his agent calls him and says, "you're losing relevance, George, can't you say something arrogantly uninformed to stir up the proles?"

And so he does. He's got a whole file of arrogant somethings he can say.

But more seriously, I concur with you, UC, that Will is already trying to toss about the "radical" brush because The Man fears Bernie Sanders. We'll see the entire Beobachter operation begin that shift, I think, because it's so natural and easy for them to go back to the Commie well.

And I sincerely, genuinely hope they do, because over half the voters out there never got the commie-under-the-bed indoctrination us older fools did, and they find such stuff ancient, silly, and instantly recognizable.

It's a guaranteed-loss pattern we should encourage by feigning outrage and concern, which I see has been independently arrived at by many other posters on DU.

a radical (more precisely, a free radical) is an atom, molecule, or ion that has unpaired valence electrons

in 1980. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debategate and http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/12/04/277267/-George-Will-Admits-Role-in-Pres-Carter-s-Stolen-Papers

May Will and all his buddies someday receive the very special karma reserved for them!

It a perspective thing, a self centered, privileged, person sees themself as unchanging and normal, when in reality they are on the way to being an increasingly conservative asshole.

He was lying through his teeth then too.

What other political group through the US history has murdered the president to make sure they get their way?

But if turns George Will on to be calling someone Radical, let him continue. You know that desperation often shows its' self in many ways

He's lost all his marbles and can't be trusted to live alone.

I know...hard to believe someone actually slept with him but...oh well...
