Update #1: From 5:20 PM to 6 PM EST today, I am going to be doing a radio appearance on WHO AM in Iowa. You can listen to it here, but be forewarned, they’re telling me that they’re running a lot of commercials during that period. I guess they’re taking advantage of all that campaign […]

12) Mike Huckabee attacks Romney’s religion: In an interview with the New York Times magazine, Mike Huckabee asked, “Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?” Why Huckabee chose to give Romney’s supporters a chance to bash him for being “anti-Mormon” just for asking the question is unknown, but the comment, which Huckabee […]

Second place would be occupied by Karl Marx because Communism produced a […]

Question: “Mr. Hawkins – I know how upset you get when any liberal mentions Bush/Republicans and Hitler in the same breath. The current issue of The American Conservative has on it’s cover a picture of Guiliana in Nazi brownshirt uniform.

As you know, but others might not, that have been noted and preaching-as-practiced Conservatives (Sean Hannity a glaring example) banking […]
