In that specific instance, I was refering to the pundits of the Right: Limbaugh, Hannity, et al. Those sentiments were later echoed by Hastert and company.

I won't bother asking for dates and times to create a log confirming one side or the other.

What side? These are all conservative politicians and pundits. Nonetheless, if you are interested in persuing this, I am certain that you can obtain the transcripts for those talkshows on the dates in question. I am not sure what good it will do you and your point, whatever that may be, but I encourage you to look it up.

I would have to compile a timestamped chronology to see which of us is correct. In all honesty, that's way too boring for me to bother with. Would you like to document this? :hmm:

It is very simple. The bulk of the story broke on Friday, 29 September. By that afternoon, it was all over the drive-time talk shows. I know, as I heard them myself. Hastert's press conference was on Thursday, 5 October, one week later. He echoed the sentiments of the radio pundits, blaming everyone from ABC to the leftist elite. Clearly, there was some influence from the conservative academics.
I am not sure why you find this so controversial. It is a well-established fact that the nationally syndicated radio programs are an intergal part of the politics of the Right. It is no different than the bloggers and the Left.
