A special Saturday edition of the Hinderaker-Ward Experience (HWX) podcast is up and ready for your listening pleasure. As always, it’s fresh and free to all.
It’s a spirited 60 minutes of podcast excellence with John Hinderaker of Power Line and Brian Ward of Fraters Libertas. They’re joined this week by Dan Blatt of the website Gay Patriot. From the perspective of a gay conservative, Dan shares his unique insights on the big issues of the week, President Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage and Washington Post tales of Mitt Romney’s alleged bullying while in prep school.
By the way, I believe the only compelling evidence of Romney’s abuse of his fellow students is the uncanny resemblance of a 17-year-old Mitt to Alpha House’s Greg Marmalard.

Next it’s Loon of the Week with Martin Bashir of MSNBC damning Mitt Romney to the infernal regions by masterfully playing the 2 Nephi 2 card (it’s a Book of Mormon thing, you probably wouldn’t understand). Then we wrap up with This Week in Gate Keeping, featuring a story on the real hero of the current economic recovery, Woodrow Wilson.
We hope you enjoy, and comments and feedback are most welcome.

Re: Patriots and Bullies
Wow - a work of breath-taking genius! Maybe the best HWX yet, and they keep getting better and better. Congratulations gentlemen and keep up the good work.
(The preceding is not a comment from a real person. Rather it's a composite of things I've heard about this very podcast over the past few months. Trust me.)

Brian, you have my word that I’m a real person and here’s my comment:
Just finished listening and this was indeed a great HWX episode. So much so that I think you and John have earned another well-deserved break ;-)
I was a regular listener to the previous weekly radio incarnation of HWX and was very glad when you reappeared on Ricochet in podcast format. Any way you could arrange a guest appearance from Victor in St. Paul for a future episode? I miss his impassioned calls for congressional fistfights.

Re: Patriots and Bullies
Great podcast. I especially liked the part (starting at about 32 min. in) when one of them was explaining how marriage transforms men from their angry adolescent phase into real men. A good woman makes her man better. It's pretty clear that this is the case with Ann and Mitt Romney.
Of course I also loved the mockery of the WaPo in having to go back 47 years (!) to find anything scandalous on our guy. Just pathetic. We are not voting on Mitt the adolescent, we are voting on Mitt the man. Yes. But how many 'low-information' voters will this work with? It's scary that the election is essentially in the hands of such voters.
Also -- a fascinating point that I had not previously considered or heard discussed -- the part about how the left claims marriage is supposedly so important for gays, while they are silent (or worse, considering how it's in their best interest to encourage single motherhood) on that point for everyone else.

Thanks Mathias, always good to hear from one of the old NARN listeners.
Ah Victor, nothing captured the modern gestalt like his incendiary exhortation "there should be fistfights in the halls of Congress!"
Where is he now? Other than a momentary cameo on Twitter 2 years ago, he's gone like the 1oth amendment. https://twitter.com/victorNARN
Favorite Victor moment - the week we got whacked at the radio station, we had a one hour final show, with our replacement, some financial planning guy, doing hour 2. His first caller? Victor, asking about IRAs.

Re: Patriots and Bullies
Nothing quite like the media completely gazing past many, many stories about Barry's youth, which are apparently fine and OK, but WaPo digs up a story that it half-creates, cannot substantiate, and has all the impact of an "Eeek! A mouse!" story.
From what I understand, WaPo has had this "story" in the hopper for awhile, and the time was right to uncork it - the "bullying" thing is big in education now and in the public eye, so let's score some points for Barry, when he clearly needs them. What's laughable is that Barry's flipped on this issue 3 times, all at highly convenient times, and always in front of an audience most ready to hear his latest evolution.
What'll it be next year, if Barry wins? Will he still want to "leave it to the states", or will he instead try to actually create federal legislation for this issue he's been mulling over for a decade? What will his next evolution grant the rest of us?
Question: Did Barry bully the Supreme Court when he chastised them at his State of the Beloved Motherland a few years ago?
