In an October 5 blog entry on MarkTalk.com, former radio host Mark Williams claimed that Media Matters for America “attack[ed]” him by highlighting his statement on the October 5 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) came “out of the closet as the domestic insurgent that he is,” referring to Obama's comments explaining why he no longer wears an American flag lapel pin. Williams wrote: “Media Matters seems to take exception with my accurate description of Barack bin al Hussein Osama O'Bomber as a 'domestic insurgent.' ” Williams, however, offered no explanation of how Media Matters' reproduction of his comments constituted an “attack” on him. Instead he wrote: “Cockroaches always hate having a light shined on them.”

Williams has made several appearances on MSNBC's Hardball and Tucker, during which he attacked Democrats and progressives, most recently claiming that Democrats are “playing politics” with the Iraq war and “plucking the pennies off the eyelids of the newly dead.”
