As expected, Sean Hannity agreed with Gallagher.

Jon Stewart pokes holes in neo-con Ben Wattenberg's logic
Benjamin J. "Ben" Wattenberg is a neo-conservative commentator and writer. His new book is Fighting Words: A Tale of How Liberals Created Neo-Conservatism
Right-wing talk show hosts drove the TN shooter over the edge?
Right-wing talk show hosts like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Michael 'Weiner' Savage are always quick to blame the artists (musicians, filmmakers etc) whenever some lunatic goes on a killing spree. As it turns out the shooter Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church has been reading books written by these right-wing loons...
Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity on accused shooter's reading list
Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Sean Hannity on accused shooter's reading list
Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.
The shotgun-wielding suspect in Sunday's mass shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church was motivated by a hatred of "the liberal movement," and he planned to shoot until police shot him, Knoxville Police Chief Sterling P. Owen IV said this morning.

GOP Senator Ted Stevens Indicted On Seven Criminal Charges
Jul 29 - Stevens was charged with concealing more than $250,000 of gifts, including home renovations, from an Alaska oil services company.The indictment does not restrict Stevens' ability to vote in the Senate, speak on the Senate floor or participate in committee work.
Sen. Ted Stevens, the nation's longest-serving Republican senator and a major figure in Alaska politics since before statehood, was indicted Tuesday on seven counts of failing to disclose hundreds of thousands of dollars in services from an oil services company that helped renovate his home.
The first sitting U.S. senator to face federal indictment since 1993, Stevens has been dogged by an investigation into his home renovation project in Alaska and his dealings with wealthy oil contractors.

Michael Weiner Savage says autism is a fraud and a racket
On the July 16 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael 'Weiner' Savage claimed that autism is "fraud, a racket... I'll tell you what autism is. In 99 percent of the cases, it's a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out. That's what autism is. What do you mean they scream and they're silent? They don't have a father around to tell them, 'Don't act like a moron. You'll get nowhere in life. Stop acting like a putz. Straighten up. Act like a man. Don't sit there crying and screaming, idiot.' "
Gothamist:
Advertisers Drop Michael Savage Radio Show Over Autism Remarks
A week after conservative radio host Michael Savage made controversial remarks suggesting a child with autism was really "a brat who hasn't been told to cut the act out," advertisers and some radio stations are distancing themselves from his show. According to Newsday, "Radio Shack, Aflac and Sears say that their advertisements should not have appeared during Savage's show and will not for the foreseeable future," while Anheuser-Busch explained "it has never advertised on Savage's program." And Mississippi network of radio stations SuperTalk dropped the program, with its president explaining, "We're a conservative network. I just didn't see why a person with so much hatred had a place in our network."
In response to this firestorm, Michael Weiner Savage is now claiming (lying) that he has been taken 'out of context'. He has posted 20 clips on his website where he appears to be sympathetic to autism sufferers. But all of these clips are from his radio show that aired after July 16. So Michael Weiner Savage is trying to supply retroactive context?
Media Matters exposes this fraud.

GOP operative, Peter Hong, nabbed in prostitution sting
From TwinCities.com
A two-day prostitution sting in St. Paul netted 35 men, including a longtime Republican operator in Minnesota politics.
Peter Hong, 41, of Minneapolis, was one of 19 men picked up Wednesday afternoon after police say he responded to an ad for sex put out in newspapers and online by the St. Paul Police Department's vice squad.
He was booked into the Ramsey County Jail at about 5 p.m. the same day on suspicion of engaging in prostitution.
The Carleton grad was a campaign spokesman for Gov. Tim Pawlenty in 2002 and congressional press secretary to Sen. Rod Grams, R-Minn., for much of the 1990s. He also served as the Bush-Cheney Minnesota campaign spokesman in 2004. His most recent political stint was as presidential campaign spokesman for Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee.

Robert Novak hits Pedestrian with his car and keeps on driving
July 23, 2008. Syndicated columnist Robert D. Novak was cited by police after he hit a pedestrian with his black Corvette in downtown Washington, D.C., on Wednesday morning.
"I didn't know I hit him. I feel terrible," a shaken Novak told reporters from Politico and WJLA as he was returning to his car. "He's not dead, that's the main thing."
Novak kept on driving after hitting the man. He stopped only when a bicyclist yelled at him and said, "You hit someone." The bicyclist, David Bono, says - "black Corvette convertible with top closed plowed into the guy. The guy is sort of splayed onto the windshield."
Watch a local DC news report on the incident:
Robert Novak is the same conservative columnist who leaked the identity of the covert CIA officer Valerie Plame in his newspaper column.
In August 2004, after other journalists had reported on it, Novak admitted that his son, Alex Novak, is the Director of Marketing for the Swift Boat Veterans' publisher, Regnery Publishing. At the time he said that he didn't "think it relevant." Two months later Salon.com reported that Regnery's owner is also the publisher of Novak's own US$297 (annual rate) newsletter and that Novak is on the board of a foundation whose chief holdings are the stock of Regnery's parent company.
Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, formerly known as the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), was a political group (527 group) of American Swift boat veterans and former prisoners of war of the Vietnam War, formed during the 2004 presidential election campaign for the purpose of smear John Kerry's candidacy for the presidency. As of 2008, the group has ceased operations.
