She labeled Ryan - who had been “arrested almost 350 times” by then - a “terrorist.” This is who Akin chose to get involved with in 1987 - and it gets worse. Ryan was pushed out as head of the Pro-Life Direct Action League around September 1987 and replaced by an aggressive, fundamentalist leader, Tim Dreste.

So the dude who was arrested a bunch of times (not sure if 350 is supposed to taken literally or figuratively) wasn’t enough of a freak so they had to go hire someone else who was more of a lunatic to lead the group?
