http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/09/jon-stewart-reveals-sean-hannitys-radical-connections-video_n_1334741.htmlHowever, Obama isn't the only one with a controversial past. Stewart unearthed a Daily Show "Super Top Double Exclusive +1," which revealed Hannity's own radical connections to the likes of convicted perjurer Oliver North, convicted Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy, boxing promoter Don King (who was convicted of second degree murder in 1966) and, most bizarrely, rock guitarist Ted Nugent, who in a fiery rant during a 2007 concert called Obama a "piece of sh**" and said the then-presidential hopeful should "suck on" the two machine guns he was holding on stage.
Stewart summed up Hannity's connections aptly, saying:
"How radical is the crowd Hannity runs with? The guy threatening to stick a gun in the president's mouth is the one who hasn't seen the inside of a jail cell yet."
Stewart was also perplexed at Hannity's timing in revealing the video as damning evidence of Obama's checkered past, saying:
"The guy is already president! He's three years into the job. That's not the time to call references, that's performance review time."

(31,525 posts)2. Almost anybody could make Hannity look like an idiot and hypocrite.
It isn't that hard to do.

And is it wrong to hope that someday Nugent electrocutes himself with an amplifier connection gone bad?

(16,646 posts)4. You're wrong
Hannity IS an idiot and a hypocrite. Stewart just puts the information out there in an organized fashion.

(4,723 posts)6. Hannity doesn't need Stewart to look like an idiot and a hypocrite
He is an idiot and a hypocrite, and it should be painfully obvious to anyone who sees him.
