Mark Williams is an opinion journalist. He is based in Sacramento, California. Williams is a regular contributor to Fox News Channel, MSNBC and Court TV and writes a newspaper column for the new Sacramento Union newspaper. Additionally he has filled in for radio talk hosts on a number of radio outlets.

He coined the term "Hildebeast" and uses it on TV, in print and on the radio to refer to Hillary Clinton. While extremely supportive of the invasion of Iraq (and an advocate of invading Iran while suggesting that Mecca also be "high on our list"), and out in front of the movement to deport illegal aliens, he also supports same sex marriage, stating that a true conservative believes that the government should leave people's bedrooms alone. He is very active in raising funds for pet shelters and adoption efforts. His dog, "Casey the pound dog" often appears when he shows up to protest Arnold Schwarzenegger (for whom he coined the term "Schwarzenkennedy"). Casey has also appeared on TV as a "spokesdog" for animal adoptions.

Williams led listeners on a lobbying trip to Capitol Hill in a drive to support immigration reform. In 2005 he and his wife (Holly) traveled to Iraq and broadcast several shows from various locations around Baghdad.

In June 2007 Williams formed MarkTalk LLC, an Internet-based, on-demand content delivery project anchored by his own daily Podcast and incorporating Podcasts, Web streams and Internet Radio from other professional journalists; interactive audio, video and text commentary and other features that his site says are "under construction".

On November 26, 2007, Williams will begin hosting a local weekday afternoon talk show on talk radio station WROW in the Albany, New York market. Williams was once a host on competitor WGY which he was fired in 1998 for making anti-islamic remarks on air. He will continue his Internet ventures. [1]

[edit] Quotes

A sampling of quotes by Mark Williams^[1]:

On Senator Barack Obama: "he felt it OK to come out of the closet as the domestic insurgent he is."

"Maybe Obama would like a cloth flag and a match."^[2]

On Islam: "Nothing will change in the Middle East until Moslems love their children as much as they hate everyone else they come in contact with." (On the Schnitt Show)

On Hurricane Katrina: "The Left's experiment in training Americans to be passive and expect the government to do absolutely everything for them has been overwhelmingly successful in creating an infantile mindset, with the result being that in New Orleans and entire segment of the population, mostly black - the Left's guinea pigs in this endeavor - apparently no longer have the requisite brains and common sense to get out of the way of a Category 5 hurricane."

On rapper Kanye West's assertion that President Bush "hates black people": "He's [Kane]a Ku Klux Klansman in blackface."

On North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Il: "This crazy little midget, y'know, Kim Mentally Ill, that runs North Korea is taking us to the cleaners. We need to find a CIA agent who can blend in and put a bullet in his brain."

On Iraq war protester Cindy Sheehan: "Cindy Sheehan's not interested in the memory of her son beyond venting her hatred of him and fury that he died an American Hero. She's only interested in using her son as a prop to advance her own hatred for America."^[3]

More on Sheehan: "Cindy Sheehan is on a mission to figuratively urinate on her son's grave and make his death stand for nothing."

On illegal immigration: "...a human rights near atrocity. We're watching the plantation owners swap out Africans for Latinos - no difference but for the lack of visible chains. Supporters of illegal immigration are really saying that they support the exploitation of the desperation of dark-skin people who speak a different language and who are desperate only by virtue of skin color. Been there, done that, fought a civil war over it. Here we go again."

During a segment on the Fox News Channels Hannity & Colmes on December 4, 2006 when discussing the Flying Imams controversy, he responded to constitutional attorney Michael Gross's tongue in cheek comment 'Arabic? They were speaking in Arabic? My God, why not throw them off the plane while it's in the air? Isn't that sufficient cause?' with the comment 'Wouldn't be a bad idea.'"^[4]
