We have a local Clear Channel wannabe big leaguer, tea party guy Brian Thomas, who portrays himself as a small government libertarian then features and fawns over Blackwater mercenaries "heroic" "stones for balls" deeds in Iraq,glorifying wars for Israel and the Empire.
Now if Thomas doesn't know Iraq threw Blackwater out for numerous war crimes, and is a prime example of the self-defeating barbarism of US Mideast policy, he's too dumb to host a talk show.

If he otoh balanced his show with anti-war libertarian guests exposing Blackwater crimes, like antiwar.com Justin Raimondo, or Scott Horton, he might pass himself off as other than a phony.
