Hugh Hewitt Gets Taken For a Ride
Froggy Ruminations ^ | July 25, 2005 | Matthew Heidt

Posted on 07/26/2005 10:05:28 AM PDT by EveningStar

Hugh, my friend, feel thou not slammed. Just a bit of constructive criticism, Froggystyle.

Hosting Hassam Aloush (?) the SoCal head of C A I R for the first two hours of his program today, Hugh unwittingly turned the keys of his radio show over to an organization that has a long track record of apologizing for islamic terror. I’m not sure if Hugh was simply unprepared for the interview, or in his zealousness to deconstruct the Tancredo Option that he decided to swing the conversation in the opposite direction.

Hugh has the guy on again today and this time, as promised, Frank Gaffney is on too.

Thanks for the ping, EveningStar.

Hugh is indeed a conservative. And I don't have a problem with him having the CAIR guy on. How better to expose and reveal. One of the great things about America? Freedom. And this includes the freedom of anti-Americans to fully expose themselves for as many as will hear, see, or listen.

From the Froggy snip:

I’m not sure if Hugh was simply unprepared for the interview, or in his zealousness to deconstruct the Tancredo Option that he decided to swing the conversation in the opposite direction.

I don't think these choices are necessarily linked. Tancredo's words were rash, but also understandable. Having the CAIR guy on only exposes the CAIR guy. How these two items are connected or not, is ultimately, IMHO, irrelevant. And regardless of what may or may not be going on behind the scenes. Besides, having both issues on his show accomplishes exactly what radio show hosts seek and need to stay ON THE AIR: ratings.

He might be doing that. But I doubt it. I have yet to see anything reasonable coming out of CAIR.

The threat of bombing Mecca matters little to bin Laden and company. They could care less.

What is your evidence for that conclusion?

Are you listening right now? That CAIR guy is really on the defensive.

Yes. You can get him on the net. The segment has concluded. However, the transcript will be posted at Hugh's site tonight.

All he had was "racist!"

He should have just opened his lines for questions and have fun with it.

Hew Hewitt on demestic issues can approach competence as a political hack.

On foreign issues he is so far out of his depth that he comes out looking like a clown.
He is reduced to asinine exclamations (It's crazy!), which I enjoy throwing back at him (he has absolutely no proof of that!) as he babbles on without a clue.
He pretty much can say anything he wants and there isn't even a sharp Jr High schooler to dispute it. Verbal diahrea and BS. He is so falling all over himself to appear uberPC that I understand he is coming to work in a Kaffiyeh now.

I've been listening to this clown for two years?

Now I'm embarrassed.

Object lesson: pay attention now.

Stick with what you know!

Hugh is a good guy and has been good to FR.

I don't drink kool-aid for anybody, sorry.

Since his ignorant and stupid, and pathetic and relentless attack on Tancredo and ignorant uninformed defense of islamofacism I would just as soon he didn't do us any favors.

He literally knows nothing of history and less about Islam. It shows. He keeps trying to fake it and it shows worse...

He's pathetic!
