Baby Hewie's Website Approaches Bizarro World
Hugh Hewitt will stop at nothing to ensure that Democrat presidential nominee Barack Obama fails to become America's president. He's hawking a pamphlet titled "Letter to a Young Obama Supporter" (I'd love to review it, but no way in hell I'm giving Hewie moolah) and blogging incessantly about the Illinois senator. Hell, Hewie's even allowed his own writers on Townhall.com, where Hewie serves as executive editor, to smear his old boss, Richard Nixon.
In an email sent out today by Townhall.com, columnist Richard H. Collins throws a plug for a website of his that bashes Obama. Interestingly enough, there's a graphic on this page that has Obama morphing into Nixon. "In true Nixonian style, Sen. Barack Obama’s paranoid website links a list of political enemies that are allegedly conducting a covert internet campaign against him," Collins' Townhall.com email claims. "Obama may be thinking he is JFK but he is acting like Dick Nixon, completely paranoid."
Absolutely stunning. Baby Hewie is amongst the most notorious of Nixon's apologists, the man who proposed banning journalists that didn't meet Dick's criteria from visiting Yorba Linda's Nixon Library. For him to allow a writer under his watch to smear Nixon either shows Hewie's come to grips with his old boss's many warts, or that Hewie doesn't give a damn about throwing bodies on the rails of the Obama Express. We choose the latter--absolutely stunning.

Great post Gustavo. The Cowardly Lion, as Hugh is known, has nothing to contribute to this debate. His book on creating a permanent Republican majority can be found at the remainder's rack at B&N for $5. A little more than Chuck DeVore's book.

Gustavo, hope it's not too late to respond...
I'm not the world's biggest Hewitt fan-- as I've said before, he was especially embarrassing when he was shilling for Romney. However, I wonder if you're aware that in about 2005, HH had on Jim Gilchrist of the Minutemen, and after Gilchrist basically babbled like a loon for awhile, Hugh dismissed him as a 'nativist'. Broken clock theory of course I know, but still... :-)
Having said that, I've been a bit curious about Hewitt's Obama pamphlet myself. I know you don't want to send Hugh the dough, but if I order one, would it be cool if I sent you a gratis photocopy of same? Feel free to respond via my personal e-mail if you like. - Thanks, Steve/Lakewood

Steve: Hugh's done good a couple of times--like when he destroyed LA Times columnist Joel Stein. And his advocacy for our troops is impeccable, even if his support of the Iraq War isn't.
I'd love to get a photocopied pamphlet--you're very kind! I'll be emailing you soon...
