I must say that, unlike my friend Hugh Hewitt, I must agree with Jihad el Khazen's assessment of John Hinderaker in the Lebanon-based Islamist news outlet Dar al-Hayat. Khazen, or Crazy Ji as we call him around the watercooler, gets to the essence of John's insolence:

John H. Hinderaker is even more insolent that the former, for he published an article in the Weekly Standard which is a magazine speaking on behalf of the neo-cons, under the title: “Fences and a Just Peace.” The subtitle of the article reads: “The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America makes a stand against Israel’s security fence and in favor of a ‘just peace’.” (Never mind Palestinian terrorism.)

Sharon is the father and mother of Israeli terrorism. He who cover up for him is his alike. Many American Churches took the decision of putting an end to their investments in Israel. The new Pope reprimanded Israel lately. Then comes this applaud [sic] to protest.

John's insolence has been a long-held secret around the Northern Alliance, of course, but now that the Ji-man has blown the lid off, we may as well come clean. John almost always shows up to our radio shows prepared -- with facts!! -- to debate and opine on the topics of the day. He has the audacity to write well and speak his own mind. John even believes (I swear, he actually told me this) that people should choose their own government and that women and children should be able to go to pizzerias and ride buses without having lunatics blow them to pieces.

The nerve of that insolent SOB! And on top of all that, he has the unmitigated gall to be a great guy with a terrific sense of humor.

Anyway, Jihad ol' buddy, I just want you to know that I have your back on this one. At least, I'm assuming that wide expanse we see exposed in your column is your back.
