“Breaking: Obama also set to make recess appointments to the NLRB”

What Rick Santorum can expect from the “progressive” media
Conspiratorially racist? Check. Played with his dead baby? Check. I have no idea who the hipster douche in this video is, frankly. Nor do I care, because liberals like him are a dime a dozen.
