I'm from NY and I'VE heard of Hunter and become one of his strongest supporters due to the fact of becoming aware of him on the political shows. I first saw him calling out the media on their outrageousness during Abu Ghraib. And he's been on numerous shows. Too bad people like you continue to be oblivious to all of this. But all you really need do is make a search of Hunter just here on FR and you will find threads going back because he was the ONLY Republican being vocal against the attacks.
And what good did that do other than make you FEEL good. God you guys are like female Democrats, whatever makes you feel good, good intentions, etc. Results are immaterial.
