I don't see what's so radical about soon to be Speaker Pelosi. She's rather moderate for her district, and last time I checked, she wasn't going off on tirades about imperialism and corporate oppression. She's not even pushing for something weaksauce like universal health care. What does she have up her sleeve? A small middle class tax break, perhaps an end to Bush's uberwealthy tax cuts, maybe an increase in the minimum wage. Not very radical at all.

It's all relative. She's radical compared to the rest of the milquetoast Democrats, but Hugo Chavez makes her look conservative in comparison.

The mainstream news media declared her a "radical" and a far-left democrat.

*chuckles*

The only person in the federal government who could be considered even remotely "radical" is Sanders. Pelosi is, at most, slightly left of center. Not radical by any stretch of the imagination.

Barbara Lee and Cynthia McKinney are both to his left.

And Sanders is really rather moderate. His real significance is that he can be labeled with the "s" word without causing an electoral frenzy against him.

Not me. Leave Fox alone. Their "news" is a good source of comic relief. :p

At the very least, we should publicly pie Sean Hannity and Allen Colmes for their crimes against humanity.

If Fox news was where you heard of it, why did you take it so seriously in the first place. And Pelosi isnt a radical leftist, just a powerful one.

1. Everyone in the mainstream media has labeled her a radical, which she is not.

2. She's hardly even a leftist.

3. Sean Hannity must be given a pie to the face.
