Peter Heck of the Peter Heck Show was invited to the CPAC Convention in Washington by the American Family Association to broadcast his show on their radio network.
Here he is interviewing Ann Coulter.
The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is an annual political conference attended by conservatives, and elected officials from all across the country.
On his web page Heck wrote, "It was quite a weekend...running into (Mike) Pence, interviewing Coulter, hearing (John) Bolton, Limbaugh, and Romney."

How incredibly cool that is!
SP,
It was surely the thrill of his lifetime.
Awesome! Did he get to interview Huckabee and Rush????
Tsofah,
No, he didn't interview Huck and Rush. But I listened to his radio program today.... And he is psyched!
Peter is a great young man.
Heck writes false, hateful diatribes
I feel the need to address one of your columnists, Peter Heck. His articles are filled with hateful opinion. When he tries to present facts, he often does not get them correct. This man is a high school teacher, a man who is molding the minds and setting an example for his students. The things he publicly says are simply the wrong message to be sending to impressionable teenagers.
His hate diatribe is most clearly shown in his Dec. 3 article, “The radicals among us,” which discussed the “homosexual agenda.” I refrained from sending in the letter I wrote immediately after that article since a very eloquent response was printed a couple of days later by a man who compared today’s gay movement to the civil rights movement, and Mr. Heck’s comments to the racist hatred of that era. Please take the time to consider how history will look on his words of prejudice before printing such bigotry.
In his Jan. 19 article, “Judging George as U.S. president,” he accuses historian Joseph Ellis of “idiotically scoff[ing] at the notion that Sept. 11, 2001, would be anything more than a mere footnote in American history.” I believe that Mr. Heck was referring to an article in the New York Times on Jan. 28, 2006, in which Joseph Ellis asked the reader to consider the implications of 9/11. He evaluates the threat it posed to national security, which he defined as “requir[ing] threat to pose a serious challenge to the survival of the American republic.” Ellis determined in his article that the United States was too strong of a republic to be threatened by such a terrorist attack, and simply argues that it would be a mistake and an “overreaction” to allow the Bush administration to make 9/11 “the defining influence on our foreign and domestic policy.” There was no insult anywhere in his article toward the memory of that tragic day.
As a history teacher, Mr. Heck should have taken the time to make sure he understood what Ellis was saying before he condemned him. Or perhaps he didn’t finish reading the article?
By printing these hate-filled and inflammatory articles with false information, the standard of your paper is lowered. I would hope to see the ideals of any publication upheld, that opinion is based on fact, not falsehood, and some more legitimate and debate-worthy articles appear in the future.
