Conservative radio host Paul Smith defends Rep. John Dingell in today's Detroit News:

Congressman John Dingell and I are from completely different political worlds. We often disagree about the best way to get to the same goal. We both love our country deeply, and, we both despise terrorists and terrorism.

Seems odd that I would have to make those last two points clear to anyone who knows either one of us or knows that we are friends.

I did not see or hear the "Flash Point" interview with Devin Scillian that has caused some folks to question Dingell's patriotism or loyalty to America's allies; or even worse, that he would support Hezbollah over Israel.

I didn't need to. I have 50 years of his public record to go by.
