I’ve mentioned this before, but I bailed out on Hewitt when he shut down a caller who was attempting to educate him about the threat of Islam and its fundamental support for the kinds of terrorist acts that the jihadists have been waging. Hewitt threw up a straw man, putting words in the caller’s mouth and accusing him of claiming that all Muslims were terrorists. He shut him down and didn’t even let him finish a sentence. It was then I realized that Hewitt is a phoney conservative, and part of the problem.

Yes.
That is actuallly the sort of thing that Initially caused me to cool to him. He is intellectually dishonest and abuses, rather than uses, his position as host.
I got turned off to him because of this well before the GOPe/Conservative divide became so clear and an issue.
