HRC Responds to Critics of its Endorsements

Yesterday I had the blogger and former record company executive Howie Klein -- someone with a lot of influence in the circles that give money to gay groups -- on the show to talk about his post blasting the Human Rights Campaign for their endorsements -- and their not endorsing openly gay Dem hopeful Jim Neal who is trying to unseal Elizabeth Dole in the Senate.

The folks at HRC were listening in, and now David Smith of HRC is coming on today to respond, 4:30 p.m. ET
