There a good number of sites on the Web where lone wolf bloggers claim to be Radical Centrists but who have only a vague idea of what RC actually is all about. These well-intentioned people are not listed here. There also are some number of libertarians who have borrowed the nomenclature who also don't really understand the concept ; one example is provided here. There also are cases of political figures being identified as Radical Centrists by the media and accepting the designation even though they have no connection with the movement. Then there are complete fakes who call themselves Radical Centrists who have close to no real understanding of the concept whatsoever, yet recognize that the phrase now has a certain "intellectual snob appeal" and want to be identified with the movement for political gain. . In all probability the following list is incomplete but it will provide an overview of fake Radical Centrists, something that may have usefulness in the future in exposing false claims. .
