As I noted, there is no reason to presume Perriello was afraid to come on your show, and good reason to think he just chose a more worthy forum, where anyone, not just liberal Senior Statesman members, could ask him a question, and where people don't say their politics are Christian and then call their opponents lackeys and the like. (Aren't Christians supposed to love their enemies?) Hurt, as you said, never agreed to appear, and we know that's because instead of being confident in his ability to show Clark up, he was afraid of giving Clark legitimacy. That's a time-honored political strategy, but still, if anyone was chicken, it was Hurt. Don't be too chicken to admit it.

Perriello, on previous occasions agreed to appear on my show and then backed out. That's why he's appropriately referred to as "Chicken Tom." Team Perriello could have said, "no" to my invitation. But, they engaged and then refused further response. That is the chicken's way. Kem,

And unlike on your show, where you ask questions from a distinct ideological perspective, Coy Barefoot, the "radical leftist" or whatever it was you called him in an effort to discredit that forum, asks not a single question of his own but merely reads the audience's questions. And the conservative candidate with the best chance of defeating Perriello ducks the forum. And you accuse who of being chicken? Really now, Rod.
