Here's what others are saying about
Doug Giles:
"Giles' style is deliberately
provocative and in-your-face, but it's
refreshing. Not many reverends can dish
out it out as well as anybody. Giles is
one of them, and even better, he's one of
us." "In his unique
no-compromise style, Doug Giles stands up
to the forces tearing our great nation
apart, refusing to back down against the
media, political, and cultural elites.
Doug takes on the liberal orthodoxy and
takes no prisoners."
Jonathan Garthwaite, Editor, Townhall.com
"Doug Giles’ refreshing voice
cuts through the moral fuzziness of our
culture with great clarity and trenchant
insight. Doug's candor, boldness, and
verve in tackling controversial issues
make his writings essential reading. His
contagious humor provides a delicious
icing on the cake."
David Limbaugh,Columnist & Author,
Persecution
"Doug Giles is an A-team writer
who combats the Left with a fresh and
ferocious style. Doug's new book
"Political Twerps, Cultural Jerks,
Church Quirks" and his weekly "ClashPoint"
columns on Townhall.com are must
reads."
Michelle Malkin, Columnist & Author,
Invasion
"Doug Giles speaks truth… he’s
a societal watchdog… and a funny
bastard."
Ted Nugent, Rock Icon
"Doug Giles is the secular
fundamentalist's nightmare. He has faith,
hope and even a little charity. He
lambastes the enemies of the Lord and of
commonsense. And he does it with wit as
well as logic. Doug serves two great
causes: religious truth and what Arnold
Bennett once called "the great cause
of cheering us all up."
John O’Sullivan Editor, The National
Interest & Columnist
"Doug Giles brings a sharp,
humorous, bold and captivating style to
ministry that strikes a chord among young
adults and students."
Dr. R. C. Sproul, Distinguished
Theologian, Best Selling Author

criminal justice program. A few years

Hill in 1998. Returning to teach at UNC-Wilmington,

award (issued by the Office of the Dean of

After his involvement in a well
publicized free speech controversy in the
wake of the 9/11 terror attacks, Adams
became a vocal critic of the diversity
movement in academia. After making
appearances on shows like Hannity &
Colmes, the O’Reilly Factor, and
Scarborough Country, Adams was asked to
write a column for the Heritage Foundation’s
Townhall.com.

heritage and founding. "WallBuilders"

foundations. David Barton is Vice Chairman

Media Research Center—collaborator
for Media Morons on clashradio.com.
Founded by L. Brent Bozell, III, MRC is
the country's leading media watchdog
organization. MRC has pioneered numerous
media services, including TimesWatch.org,
which regularly punctures the New York
Times' self-anointed authority and
Dishonors Awards, which annually cite the
media's most flagrant malpractitioners.
Its Tell the Truth! campaign during the
2004 presidential campaign has effectively
called on broadcast, print and online
media to tell the story as it is, rather
than from a biased point of view. Clash
radio is pleased to utilize MRC's Worst of
the Week service, to highlight the most
outrageous examples of media bias in its
Media Morons segment. For more info go to www.mediaresearch.org

Megan Fox—Presenter of Hero and Zero
on "The Clash" on clashradio.com
Megan Fox is a contributing editor for www.TheAbsurdReport.com
. A card-carrying member of the vast
right-wing conspiracy, Megan’s life
mission is to fight liberal absurdity with
satire and tenacity. Megan knew she was
headed for the Republican Party when she
fell in love with Alex P. Keaton in 1986.
(To this day she has a weakness for men in
sweater-vests with unusually high IQs.)
After trying to get a decent education at
several American universities, Megan
finally had enough of socialist
brainwashing and returned to her roots.
Megan is currently pursuing a master’s
degree in Combating Leftist Propaganda at
the EIB Institute for Advanced
Conservative Studies where the learning
never stops, and there is only one
professor. Megan is thrilled to be a part
of Clash Radio where the men have lots of
testosterone and the women are the only
ones who get manicures.
