While his on the air style features of variety of moods and themes, he is well known for his mocking, ad hominem, relentless satire and polemical criticisms of -- U.S. Republican Party, George W. Bush, right wing Christians, politicians (especially rightist conservatives and neo-conservative), racists and homophobes. Malloy is unabashedly political and following the 2004 U.S. presidential elections with the defeat of John Kerry and the victory of George W. Bush, Malloy made public that he was changing his political party affiliation, leaving the Democratic Party -- which in his opinion had become weak and docile in comparison to the Republican Party. Malloy is known for being challenging and even abrasive and impatient with rightist callers with whom he pulls no punches.
