I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Hewitt on-air many times when he was local in SoCal. He permitted me to discuss politics, opine on motion pictures and we even briefly compared childhood memories of Greater Cleveland.
He was very polite
But then, I was just a listener/caller — and not part of the “Death to America” left.
I also have spoken on his show more than once.
(Says something about his audience when it has always been easy to call in).
He pulled a total BS intellectually dishonest thing on me once (about a non-political topic he was factually incorrect on).
I listened to Hugh on KFI before he was on KIEV. I remember him from Life and Times.
I am a Dimagiatti. I listened in the morning (Morning Glory) and learned of and listened on 911.
It is sad that he has fallen so far.
Except in some ways he has always been the same. I first heard him on Live From LA on KKLA filling in the evening before the Davis - Lungren election.
Hewitt was talking about how Lungren had it in the bag. Wouldn’t even be close. Lungren was going to win by a landslide.
That made me feel good. Wow, I thought. Lungren is actually going to win.
Of course Lungren didn’t even come close.
Hewitt just made it up. Just like he did for McCain and Romney, saying over and over how Romney would win by a landslide.
