Hugh Hewitt

The so-called “Three Tenors” of talk radio — conservatives Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt and Dennis Prager — spoke before a crowd of 3,000 at Minneapolis’ Orchestra Hall in an event attended by Republican candidates Michele Bachmann, Norm Coleman and Erik Paulsen as well as Gov. Tim Pawlenty.

And though embattled Minnesota Republicans have been steering to the center of late, the event was full of right-wing red-meat rhetoric — like Prager’s declaration that “Equality, which is the primary value of the left, is a European value, not an American value.” Video of Prager’s talk inside.

He’s no Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers, but Palestinian academic and Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi (pictured) may be next in the parade of radical ghosts from Obama’s past.

Sarah Palin’s Sept. 30 interview with Hugh Hewitt demonstrates, among other things, that she’s equally goofy and incomprehensible in a situation where the risk of encountering actual journalism is approximately zero.
