I listen to the C-Realm with a delay, and didn't hear this podcast until late last night. I can't see the original article in the LA Times, but no great loss.
I like to check out authors, and it appears that Charlotte Allen hates lots of folks, not just the people singled out in the LA Times article. Normally I wouldn't post just a string of URLs, but I try to make it a habit to look at an author's other works before spending much time on their ideas. People seem to carry around groups of related memes, and CA is no exception.
(Apologies for the URLs below, but I still haven't worked out how to make proper links on LiveJournal)
Except for her effect on you, KMO, I certainly wouldn't have gone beyond the first paragraph of any of her articles. I've got a heart condition, and I like to keep my blood pressure down. :-)

CA doesn't like atheists - http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2009/may/22/atheism-religion-god-richard-dawkins
She seems to be a generally inflammatory sort. A list of her submissions at Independent Women's Forum: http://www.iwf.org/authors/inkwell/7.html#listing
There is someone she likes -- really, really likes - the Pope:

She posts frequently at Beliefnet. A list of her submissions: http://www.beliefnet.com/search/site.aspx?q=%22charlotte+allen%22 and I think you'll agree she's got little in common with the C-Realm audience.
