What's with Hal Sparks?

I don't follow him closely but from what I've heard in the past I thought he was a decent progressive but then I started hearing him tout up HRC.
What's with that?
Isn't he a big peacenik, anti war, anti violence person?
Today I tuned in for a few minutes and he was really knocking Bernie - seems his dislike heated up when he (Bernie) started defending himself against her in the NY primary.
What's he supposed to do with the Delicate Flower? Just stand there and take his lumps? Yes, ma'am can I have another?
I guess her supporters have a 100% different view of her than I do - what they see is not reality, though, I know that.

I really don't understand why he has a radio show. I just want to scream SHUT UP for 2 seconds and let someone else talk. I wonder if he pays to have a radio show as I don't think he adds anything. He's good buds with Stephanie Miller so that's probably where he gets his talking points. All these Hillary backers have started slamming Bernie and then finish with, don't get me wrong, I love Bernie. So I guess that is suppose to make it OK.

There are so many other progressive talkers that would be much better than Hal Sparks to fill that slot on a Saturday.

Their script is remarkably similar in the talking points. Shame.
