Ginni Thomas' Talk Radio Faves: Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck

(Oct. 20) -- Drink your tea, but don't touch that dial!

Liberty Central, the political nonprofit, nonpartisan but anti-big government and tea party-supporting organization founded by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife, Virginia "Ginni" Thomas, is "led by a principled and dedicated team that actively listens to others," according to the organization's website.

Specifically, some of those others include right-leaning hosts Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck, according to her online bio.

Of course, that's not a big surprise given that the staunchly conservative group shares many of the conservative values put forth by said talk radio show hosts. But just in case there was any confusion, the staff bios at Liberty Central's website are quite clear in their interests, radio-wise.

Mrs. Thomas' bio reads:
Ginni, the "proud" Nebraskan, is a fan of Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham and other talk radio hosts. She is intrigued by Glenn Beck and listening carefully. She also enjoys motor homing and watching "24."
Lynne Holicky, the group's national coordinator, was less specific about her favorite shows, but noted the following:
With paintbrush in hand and headphones on, she spent her days beautifying homes and businesses while listening to her favorite voices on talk radio.
Office administrator Alex Harrison, who also worked for the Heritage Foundation, also declares her fondness for Limbaugh:
Alex enjoys working out, listening to Rush and writing about her D.C. adventures.

For her part, Ginni Thomas would seem to have a mixed relationship with another talk radio outfit that is said to lean left: NPR. After confirming to the public station that she had indeed left Anita Hill a message in which she asked Hill to apologize to her husband over her sexual harassment claims nearly 19 years ago, Thomas abruptly withdrew from a scheduled interview.

Not all of the employees at Liberty Central advertised their love of talk radio on the website. Brian Faughnan, the group's managing editor, noted in his bio that he "still finds time to make the occasional batch of mint chocolate chip."
