In the latest addition to the bulging "George F. Will is an asshole" file, guess who Will thinks are "extremists"? ISIS? "Sovereign citizens"? Occupy Wall Streeters?
In his column today, "The Man With No Mirrors" names 48 of them, all Democratic Senators. Why (other than the fact that he's deranged) does Will think they're extremists? Because they're sponsoring legislation to amend the Constitution's Bill of Rights to prohibit corporations and plutocrats from making limitless political contributions, an obscenity ushered in by the Republican Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United. Will would like us to believe corporations are "people, my friend," so corporate/ plutocrat campaign contributions to continue to flow freely into Republican coffers, while at the same time suppressing Democratic voting and the ability of unions to organize and prosper.
Oh, by the way, there are a whole lot more than 48 Democratic Senators who think, unlike Will, that Citizens United was a very bad decision: like 80 percent of the American people (that's "people", Will, not "corporations").
