Hannity knows nothing about history...LOL..

Sirius Left host Richard Bey appeared on HuffPost Live Wednesday with Jeremy Newburger, the director of "Evocateur: The Life Of Morton Downey Jr.," to discuss the origins of right-wing media stars like Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh in reference to the 1980s right-wing talk show host, Morton Downey Jr.

Bey pointed out an important distinction between the departed Morton Downey Jr. and current right-wing media stars: "I don't think people really took Mort seriously....People really take Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity seriously. People buy their books."

"I worked at ABC Radio with Sean {Hannity}," Bey told host Ricky Camilleri. "He doesn't know anything about history. He knows what they give him on the talking points."

Boortz ended every day's broadcast by saying "Buh bye Sean".
