used to go after him, because he was such a HUGE, GAPING, egomaniacal asshole

here's a link to some stuff about him.....hard to navigate to, but click on his name in a sea of other celeb names, and it will lead you to page 18 of one of their issues, in which you'll find an article about him, and how he tried to use Sneak Previews as a launchpad to a>>>>>>congressional campaign run! also delineates huge, sleazy conflicts of interest involving ''anonymous'' religious wingnut donors, and examples of his all around aholishness. Poor Jeffrey Lyons. I'd copy paste excerpts, but it's in PDF:

here's another fun link which shows what a butt this guy is:

snip: Now, one might ask, what sort of utter fucktard looks back on the McCarthy era as a GOOD time in America’s history? What sort of absolute maroon finds anything but poison for McCarthy and his witchhunts, which put good American families on blacklists and kept them out of jobs because one member of the family might have attended a Communist Party meeting (or might not have) twenty years previously, during the heights of the Great Depression?

I’ll tell you what sort of asshole says things like that. Michael Medved does. A contemptible prick who would tell you what a great American movie Cinderella Man was, without realizing that the man who SAVED Jim Brannock and his ilk from starvation was Franklin Deleanor Roosevelt, and his New Deal – a change in America’s system of government so dramatically better for America’s poor that people like McCarthy (and later, Medved) spent decades trying to break it down.
