In disgust I continued on down the dial 30 minutes later. Thirty minutes of contumelies.

(American Heritage Talking Dictionary.)
The man totally lost it. The only "light-hearted" moments were his oft repeated claim that SPP supporters were shrill -- he on the other hand was merely passionate.
The man's become a clown. Maybe something in his personal life? Hope he does better in the future.
A couple of days later I'm back -- Hey! it's 2:00AM, what else is there? This time it's the O'Hare UFO. A much milder form of contumely -- I guess he does not have as much money riding on those kinds of aliens. :)
Anyway, the usual ridicule of "believers." Fine. But more evidence that's something is seriously wrong with the man.
He gave the witnesses' estimates of the size of the UFO. Some said six feet, some said 24 feet -- and some said it was the size of a quarter!
He used that to ramp up his attack on a UFO reporting site. "A quarter!" he screamed several times.
Well, Mr. Medved, normal people under control of their emotions knew the description was, the UFO appeared in the sky to be the size of a quarter held at arm's length. Common way of describing something far away.
Revealing about Medved. He had trouble thinking outside the box. Too boringly conventional.
I meant to say that Medved railed against people who in his view are wrong to oppose SPP because 1) it ain't going to happen and 2) if it does happen, it won't hurt our Nation and it's a good thing.
This is not the first time Medved has attacked the advocacy of constitutional conservativism or its supporting researchers.
"his oft repeated claim that SPP supporters were shrill -- he on the other hand was merely passionate."
Not surprising I guess, that same exact thing happens here at FR on a regular basis!
