- 1997 November 8, Thomas Odell, “Radlibs are Liars. Clinton has NO economic policy. He hasn't needed one. Here's why.”, in alt.fan.ronald-reagan[1] (Usenet), retrieved 2022-02-02:
- Radlibs flee from facts because facts unmask them as the ideologically bankrupt bunch that they so clearly are. Radlibs are merely liars. The whole rotten bunch. We know this. Some may have cause to reflect back upon the blunt reference of the use of the word "liar." It is the correct word. It is not inappropriate. Indeed radlibs certainly should not take offense at the word. They should EMBRACE it. Calling a radlib a liar is not an insult. How do you insult a pig by calling it a pig? Radlibs are not bound by a common morality. They say that any crime, including lying, is ok if it advances the cause of their socialism.
