Good God Hannity is STILL going off about a 19 yr. old caller
"Michaela" from Wyoming called yesterday to basically ask - Why don't you consider yourself part of the mainstream military?

Well he took way off the topic. Screaming and yelling about the LIBERAL MEDIA, FREEDOM, etc.

She made the portal sin of quoting Chomsky twice. Hannity at first wasn't sure what to do and then he began stating that Chomsky is a left wing radical who hates America and blames America for 9/11.

Then she said that the US is guilty of killing innocent civilians and that THAT is terrorism and that what we are doing now is fascist.

Hannity kept asking and asking her if taking on fascist Germany in WWII and she said she didn't know WERE WE RIGHT?!?!?..... look Sean I......WERE WE RIGHT!?!?...the point I was trying to make.....WERE WE RIGHT?!?!?

And on and on. He must have been redfaced from the way he was carrying on. Hannity couldn't handle a 19 year kid.

NOW he has her father on the phone berating him for poor parenting and letting her have DUMB STUPID opinions. The father (Jerry) is on now trying to tell Hannity that it is an OPINION and that he lets her develop her own opinions and that she might change them later.

"It is SAD that you as a father well let her have these WRONG STUPID opinions"

It just ended. Wow was that sad.

2. I am glad somebody else has the stomach to watch this brain pollution
and report back. If Hannity's horribly criminal idiocy were not enough, looking a colmes's paisty face would make me puke.

4. Why Don't You Call And Offer An Intelligent Defense.
Getting on talk radio programs is easier than you might think. I get on all the time. Hell, just last Friday I absolutely smoked that Lars Larson clown on his own show. Insannity might be a Little more difficult, but I'm sure you can do it. I would call but I am at work :(

23. I Used To Listen To...
that chump on the way home form work (he's the lessor of two evils if you can believe that) but know, I hear his ignorant ranting for .10 seconds and the radio gets turned off. Keep trying though, you might just get through.

21. You smoked Lars?
Details, please. I can't say that I've ever voluntarily listened to one word the fat-faced, self-satisfied schmuck says, but I'd love to hear the story.

30. He Was On Friday Blathering About W'sMD...
and how much we had already found. Of particular interest was the "fact" :eyes: that Polish members of the "coalition of the willing" had found 16 warheads that contained chemical weapons. Well as we all know just a week or two before(on the same day that the Polish dragged the story out again for a feel-good photo op) the Pentagon released a report that concluded that no such agents were present in the warheads. So I called to inform him about how ignorant he was. Well once he heard that he changed the subject to, Saddam never accounted for the weapons he did have. To which I replyed... He did account for them, he released a 15,000 page report that was heavily redacted before it even reached the UN. Well, then he turned to... Saddam claimed that Iraq lost the documentation on how and when his weapons were destroyed. Now this is the best part of all because "it just kinda popped in there". I said, well our military can't find Bushes complete service record, how can we expect a third world country like Iraq to be able to keep track of all of it's records. He went off the deep end after that because he either didn't understand the point or purposely distorted it. He started on about me comparing Bush to Saddam. The call ended with him saying he would look into the Pentagon report. I only get the show for an hour and my call was at the end of it, so I didn't get to hear the reactions. it was fun.

Sorry if that is hard to follow, but I need to get the hell out of here (work) and go fishing.

6. I think the AVERAGE 19 yr. old is smarter than Hannity.
How much intelligence does it take to read a 'blast fax'?

18. Have you ever heard Hannity read?
He must not preread things because of the 10-15 minutes I hear on the way home I have only heard him get through a whole reading ONCE.

26. Right now he can't remember who wrote "The People's History of the US"
I think he is getting Chomsky and Zinn confused. He couldn't remember who wrote it.

7. Do you know any 19 year old kid who reacts positively
to being shrieked at? I sure as hell don't. Hannity just gave the left one more lifelong member.

I have a wonderful fantasy of a group blowout, when they all rupture cerebral arteries at the same time during some sort of shrieking, foaming rant, hopefully at the Repiglican corona, er convention.

12. Yeah Michaela from Wyoming
She never yelled back and took her time to answer which of course made him even angrier and caused him to SCREAM the same question over and over with "...Sean..."s in the middle ANSWER THE QUESTION! Hannity was screaming.

8. My RW mother was listening and going ballistic.....
Edited on Fri Jul-16-04 03:30 PM by Gloria
then she went ballistic on me.....I told her to look the word "fascist" up in the dictionary and see if it didn't apply...

By the way, a couple of days ago, she said I was a "communist." I told here I thought Reagan had solved the commie problem....snicker, snicker.
That made her nuts, too.........correction......made her even nuttier that usual...

14. She pointed out that many of her high school friends are in Iraq now
Yeah she could have been exaggerating.

Serving in the military,they can do that too not that Hannity would know anything about it.

15. Hannity has a head full of talking points and slogans and that's it.
Anyone could rip Hannity's arguments to pieces with a little basic information and- most importantly- control of their own microphone. Guys like Hannity just shout over opposing viewpoints or cut them off completely to go to a "hard break (whatever the hell that is).

Cheers to this 19 year old for making him sweat.

28. "Hard breaks" are computer timed advertising spaces
They are programmed for a certain exact time and the host cannot change them.
There are usually a number of "soft breaks" that a host is obligated to do, but he/she can do them anytime.

25. Yeah they must have given him a "side" number
I suspect that Hannity wanted to have him back on to tear him apart. The guy wouldn't have any of it-He stayed very cool.

22. What's wrong with this statement?
"It is SAD that you as a father well let her have these WRONG STUPID opinions""

Let? LET? Just exactly what is he going to do about it? Beat her? Behead her for shaming the family? Have her put in jail? Chained to a post inside, never allow her to leave? Forbid her to drive or go to school?

Sean seems to be very pro-Taliban, pro-radical fundamentalist Islamic in his position on the freedoms a 19 yr old grown woman may possess in this country.

Let? Kiss my ass, Hannity.

27. That is pretty much the point I got out of it
He did say "let" but moreover he was screaming about how this child is allowed to have her own opinions and basically hasn't been tied in a chair and FULLY indoctrinated.

34. what bothered me...
was that hannity was livid that the girl describe America or anything related to America as facist. He repeatedly informed her and her dad that they had no conception of what real facism was and to make that kind of comparison was irresponsible, foolish, disrespectful, etc. Okay Sean, how many right wingers (present company i'm sure included) have referred to the Democratic party in general, the ACLU, the NAACP, etc as facists or facist organizations? I swear I hear that comparison at least once a week. And I have yet to hear Hannity call them or himself out for making such a reckless and irresponsible comparison. I really was hoping the dad would point that out, but alas such was not the case. Oh and the dad kept saying how Sean wouldn't let him get a word in edge wise and Sean would incredulously yell he'd given them forty-five minutes of airtime. Ignoring the fact, yes theyd been on the air for forty-five minutes, but had never actually gotten through forty-five seconds without being cut off or talked down to. Yeesh, why do I do this to myself?
