Hannity: "Have You Seen Linda Ronstadt Lately?"

[CO Liberal]

"She looks like Roseanne!"

He just said that on his radio pukefest, in reaction to Linda' recent appearance at the Alladin in Las Vegas and her favorable comments about Michael Moore.

Proof once again that this brain-dead little Nazi has nothing left but to attack people's appearance. Funny that he never has anything bad to say about Ann KKKoulter's resemblance to a 12-year-old boy.....

[fertilizeonarbusto]

1. Hannity

Fuck you, you sucker of rethug cock.

[jimshoes]

2. or Candy Crowley

[Gryffindor_Bookworm]

3. Sean Insanity makes me sick.

As if he's Mr. Handsome himself! My nieces and I went book-shopping a few weekends ago. There was a big display of his "Deliver Us From Eeeeeevil" book, and the younger one (3 1/2) pointed at him and said, "Aunt Dawn, that man is a stranger. No talking to strangers! Stranger Danger!"

Out of the mouths of babes......

[59millionmorons]

5. Oh that Jay Leno chin

YUCK

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Welcome to DU :^D

[59millionmorons]

4. little nazi

I like that, this will now forever be how I refer to him.

[RobertSeattle]

6. What a Jerk

Hannity math (I guess he hasn't noticed most of the high Ranking GOPers)

Overweight+male+white+conservative = Powerful

Overweight+female+non-conservative = To be scorned

[tishaLA]

7. Have you seen Sean Hannity lately?

he looks like Nathan Lane on a binge.

[CO Liberal]

11. Unfair to Nathan Lane

Nathan spreads happiness and joy wherever he goes. Hannity spreads bullshit, lies, and misery.

[tishaLA]

14. You're right. Mea culpa

but you know Hannity could relate to "Springtime for Hitler"

[CBHagman]

78. Another Nathan fan here.

But it's cheap and snotty for Hannity (hm -- cheap, snotty=Hannity) to make snippy comments about a singer's weight. Deborah Voigt isn't svelte but she's got more talent in her than Hannity can ever dream of.

Besides, 25 years from now, people will have heard of Linda Ronstadt. Hannity will eventually be forgotten.

[gratuitous]

8. Professional jealousy is SO unbecoming, Seanie

Just because another entertainer outsells you is no reason to get all pissy, Sean. Go order another couple of your "books" from NewsMax for a dollar each; that will make you feel better.

[Zipperhead]

9. There is a lot of love in this room

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. That's Hannity for ya, spreading love wherever he goes.

[Bluebear]

10. She has a debilitating disease. Typical compassion, Hannity

'Recently Linda revealed she suffers from Hashimoto's Disease, a common thyroid gland disorder. It is caused by a reaction of the immune system against the thyroid gland. She lives in Tucson with her two adopted children, a son 8, and a daughter, 11.'

[CO Liberal]

13. And Hannity Suffers from "Limbaugh's Disease"

Chronic verbal diarrhea. Directly related to having shit for brains.

[LuminousX]

69. Compassionate Conservatism

[true grit]

16. It is very funny to me

Hannity and Rush keep insisting that entertainers keep their mouths shut about politics. What the hell are they?? Paid entertainers, not politicians, not anchors, not analysts, I suggest they start the trend themselves.

[Blue Gardener]

65. But they elect Ahhhh-nold and St. Ronnie

It's okay for an entertainer to speak out if they are a repug, typical double-standard as practiced by the wingnuts.

[BiggJawn]

73. Exactly! When you catch Gush in a bind, thats his excuse...

"But...I'm an ENTERTAINER! I ENTERTAIN people, I'm not an AUTHORITY!"

No, he's a Nazi Gasbag, and I can't wait until.....

[SiouxJ]

17. Can't wait to see Hannity in 20 years

you can't have that much fat in your brain without some of it leaking out to the rest of your body eventually.

[CO Liberal]

36. Something like this - Right?

Source: http://menshealth.about.com/

[CatWoman]

18. So that's the talking point of the day?

Neal Boortz today said she looked like Pete Rose.

[Bluebear]

19. Hashimoto's Disease, definitely something to be made fun of

Nice, Sean.

[porphyrian]

20. Fuck Hannity

Why are you guys helping to elevate the cost of advertising in his time slot by watching him anyway?

[CO Liberal]

29. Not Watching - Listening

His radio pukefest is on right now.

[porphyrian]

37. Same idea...

Why contribute to the value of the airtime during his piece of shit show?

[CO Liberal]

40. How Am I Contributing...

...when I make a point of NOT patronizing any of his advertisers?

:shrug:

(BTW, I kept an Arbitron diary for a month in 2002. And for that month, both Limbaugh and Hannity had their ratings DROP in the Pueblo/Colorado Springs market....)

[porphyrian]

49. You are consuming the Hannity product.

Even if you hate him, it makes you talk about him. Repetition promotes. Posting on DU about Hannity gets everyone thinking about the Hannity product, every reply brings it to the top, fresh. People looking for new topics see the brand again at the top, with new responses, and think again about Hannity. Chances are, others will listen to him because of it. The value of his airtime has nothing to do with whether or not you buy the products advertised, it has to do with whether or not you were exposed to them. If you listened, you were, and Hannity benefits.

[CO Liberal]

56. How Does He Benefit....

...when I spread the word about what an asshole he is?

:shrug:

I post what I hear on his radio pukefest because many DU-ers can't stand to listed to the creep for more than a few minutes. But they need to know the ignorance, hatred, and general insanity we're up against.

[Mr.Green93]

21. must not be any mirrors in his house

he is a tub-o

[SemperEadem]

22. personal attacks--for when you have no point to make

personal attacks demonstrate that you no longer have a valid point to your arguement and, in order to regain a lost sense of personal power over the fact that you have no point to make, you launch into attacks about the person or their looks. If God struck him dead in mid sentence, I'd love to see him explain why he shouldn't go to hell for his blackened soul.

[Zipperhead]

23. I heard Boortz say

that he was proud of Kerry for flipping that guy off at the wall. He said no one has the right to tell a vet they cannot be there.

[gratuitous]

25. Kerry flipped someone off?

News to me. Do you have a source on that besides Boortz? He's not exactly someone I would trust with a fact.

[Zipperhead]

28. Ouch! Sorry!

Just reporting what I heard. In actuality he was one of the last to comment on it. I saw it on CNN. Boortz didn't comment until 5 or 6 days later. Sorry to have posted that. I had no idea it was a sore subject. On another note I heard Bush flipped someone off from his bus. Does that give me a pass?

[tishaLA]

32. Wow I never saw that on CNN

Perhaps you could provide a link to the transcript of that comment then, sir. CNN has a search funtion so I'm sure you'll be able to point us in the right direction.

[Zipperhead]

38. I have enough on my hands. Why don't you look for it.

I already said that was what I heard. I also heard Bush flipped someone off. But I got that from this site. CNN is biased as we all know so it could have been a lie. If it is so important to you to disprove it then by all means do the research. It just isn't that important to me. Thanks.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

39. Rules of discourse: you make an assertion, you back it up with a link

we're interested in facts, not some urban legend you learned from your buddy Boortz.

[CO Liberal]

41. The General Rule Here At DU....

...is that when someone makes a statement like the one you just did, you provide something to back it up.

We're waiting......

[Zipperhead]

43. But I explained it was what I heard.

I made that clear. I read the Bush bird thing from this site. No one demanded a link. I apologise. Kerry did not flip anyone off. Bush did. And Boortz is a motherfucker. How bout that.

[Zipperhead]

50. Bush Flipped someone off!! Kerry did not!!

These are the facts and they are undisputed.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

35. We're waiting for the link. Get googling!

[CO Liberal]

48. I Found This Through Google

Apparantly no one has a picture of the event. Yet the world saw when Nelson Rockefeller fipped someone the bird....

The following discussion is on the Snopes site:

http://www.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=37;t=000791;p=2

[sandnsea]

42. Unsubstantiated rumor

i.e., bullshit. John Kerry would never flip off anybody at The Wall, let alone in front of children and families. Not in a cazillion years. Bush on the other hand, who the hell knows what that moran would do.

54. What is a Dweller and why are you so angry?

I only wrote something that I heard. I even pointed out that I heard it and could not prove it. I was not looking for trouble. Are you ok? Tell me what I am allowed to say and I will say it. Whatever you want. Although I do think outside the box a little I am still voting Kerry. So what is your problem? What are you scared of?

[OKNancy]

62. Hi Zipperhead

Have you been reading DU very long? It might be good to read a while and get the culture of DU down a little. It's probably a good idea when first posting to try to be really clear.

And of course calling Neil Boortz a motherfucker and saying you are voting for John Kerry really helps you make friends here - LOL

Hope you have many days and many posts here. Welcome.

[gratuitous]

66. It's been an interesting week

It seems that a lot of folks from other websites, folks of rather limited intelligence (if you know what I mean), have been coming to DU to try to stir up trouble. They're usually identifiable by low post counts and references to unreliable sources, as well as hysterical stutterpost overreaction to even the mildest requests for further information about their posts.

They also almost universally practice poor personal hygiene, have an inflated sense of their own cleverness, and an unjustified sense of accomplishment when they're not immediately spotted as phonies and imposters.

Which, naturally, has nothing whatsoever to do with you; I'm just explaining.

[Bake]

67. Some people's favorite phrase here: "Link please"

Yes, it is proper to back stuff up when you can. Not everybody at work has the time to do that, while some of those sitting there calling "Link please" have plenty of time but apparently want someone else to do it for them. You were polite in saying you didn't presently have time to find the link.

What kills me is the assumption that if there's a link to something, it must be true. Sometimes you see stuff IN PRINT - actual, old-fashioned hard copy -- that you can't find on the internet. But because you can't link to it, it must not be true.

Hang in there, and welcome.

Bake

[CO Liberal]

70. And There Are Many Times.....

...that a link does not exist because an event never took place.

[Bluebear]

45. What does that have to do with Linda Ronstadt?

[CO Liberal]

57. Absolutely NOTHING!!!

Which is also Sean Hannity's brain capacity.....

[Zipperhead]

60. This has nothing to do with Linda

Nothing

[CO Liberal]

63. Then Why Did You Stick It In This Thread?

:shrug:

[JETS]

24. Now that's mighty Christian of him to say that

<extreme sarcasm>

[wadestock]

26. He thinks he exemplifies the American Dream come true....

But not in reality....he was brought up somehow by Limbaugh....and owes everything to him (or so he says) so there's a lot of sucking going on in the background....and he follows in his hatemongering nazi style....

But paints the picture of rising up with a pure attitude of success...and then of course achieving that success.

I believe he was strategically implanted as a "good ol Irish boy" with a lot of persistence (not necessarily personality or entertainment potential) to bring on the Irish fighting zeal and apparent honesty IMAGE to their cause.

[Joanne98]

27. She'll get rich by selling lot's of CD's because of this

Then she can lose weight and get a face lift. Hannity loses again.

[Bluebear]

30. She can't lose weight....

she has an autoimmune disease, probably loaded up with Prednisone. Hannity strikes again making fun of people's medical conditions.

[Joanne98]

44. Then she can get rich and promote stem cell research

Find a cure and then lose weight. Hannity is still a LOSER!!!!!!!

[Bluebear]

53. I like that idea!

And you are so RIGHT about Hannity!

[CO Liberal]

33. Not as Simple As That

Linda Ronstadt has Hashimoto's disease.

From www/familydoctor.org:


What is Hashimoto's disease?

Hashimoto's disease is a problem with your thyroid gland located in your neck. The thyroid gland makes hormones that control how your body uses energy. When you have Hashimoto's disease, your immune system begins to attack your thyroid gland, causing it to become swollen and irritated. When this happens, your thyroid can't make hormones as it should.
Return to top

What are the symptoms of Hashimoto's disease?

These are some of the symptoms someone with the disease may have:

o Because the thyroid gland may swell when you have Hashimoto's disease, you may have a feeling of fullness or tightness in your throat.

o You may have trouble swallowing food or liquids.

o You might notice a swelling or bump (called a goiter) in the front of your neck.

o You may experience tiredness, forgetfulness, depression, coarse dry skin, slow heartbeat, weight gain, constipation and intolerance to cold.

Many people with this disease have no symptoms at all. An ordinary blood test may just show that the thyroid hormones are out of balance.

52. depression

I have hashimotos disease and my thyroid had to be removed.I went a whole year thinking about suicide and wondered why?A growth appeared,the thyroid was removed and my doctors are still trying to find the proper amount of medication.I don't have severe weight problem but I constantly have to exercise and diet.
I urge everyone to ask their doctor to check the thyroid (blood test)because if the growth hadn't appeared I might have acted on my thoughts.Doing fine now.

[CO Liberal]

55. Welcome to DU!!!

:hi:

Sorry to hear about what you've gone through. But thank you for providing some first-hand insight into this disease.

(CO Liberal)

[bobbieinok]

74. NOTE standard thyroid blood test doesn't usually catch this

I had problems and the standard test made several times in both US and Canada.

In the teaching hospital in CA, there was a visiting specialist who was convinced this was what I had and ordered further tests. And this is what I have in addition to pernicious anemia (also auto immune disease.

[mzmolly]

31. Well, when you can't attack the message, attack the messenger.

F-U Hannity.

[gauguin57]

34. Kerry's "wrinkles/no wrinkles," Elizabeth Edwards' weight,

now Linda Ronstadt's weight. Blah Blah Blah.

If that's the best you've got, Repugs, then I feel REEEAAALLLLYY good about the upcoming election.

Hannity: Small-minded little shit ... an annoying little gnat we should all just wave away from our faces.

From someone who represents a party/ideology whose leader is the spittin' image of Cheeta swinging through the trees, you've got a big mouth, Sean.

[Bake]

47. Rupert's Cabana-boy is no prize himself!

Besides, the way Ronstadt can sing, who CARES what she looks like? She could turn me on with one note!

Question, re: Hashimoto's disease. If it attacks the thyroid, why don't they just nuke the thyroid and balance the hormone level with Synthroid? I had a very hyperthyroid condition some years ago, and that's what they did. No problems since then. But I do take Synthroid forever.

Bake

[RebelYell]

51. RebelYell: Have you seen Hannity lately?

He's using "Just For Men"

Seriously

[CO Liberal]

58. Makes Sense.....

He always refers to himself as "a conservative Republican in the tradion of Ronald Reagan". Figures that he'd use the same hair coloring that Ronnie did....

[kskiska]

59. What must he think of Bar Bush?

Beautiful mind, beautiful body?

[DancingBear]

61. What is the over/under for when Hannity loses his baby fat?

I like 2015.

(You KNOW that boy lost a lot of lunch money growing up...)

[CO Liberal]

64. My Theory Is....

...he was molested as a kid, and is now striking out against the world.

[LuminousX]

68. If you can't counter the argument

attack the person's appearance. We all know ugly fat people are never right.

[Batgirl]

72. free beauty tip for Sean

When left untended (like for more than half an hour) his hairline has an unfortunate tendency to grow down until it becomes one with his unibrow. Which can only be prevented by hours of plucking and forehead-shaving each day.

And even then they have to come out with the wax strips during every commercial break.

But my advice is to find a new aesthetician. The one he has currently is letting that hairline sit way too low on his forhead. I think if they shaved off another 3/4 inch it could go a long way to make him look a little less simian.

[hughee99]

71. This is certainly par for the course for Hannity...

Although when the story initially came out, there was a thread about it where people were not sure if Ronstadt was supporting Moore or if "Desperado" was a slam directed at him. The initial article that started the thread didn't clarify this point. Some supported Linda and thought (correctly) that it was a true tribute to Moore, others thought (incorrectly) that it was an attack on Moore. The second group were certainly not kind to Linda's talent, career, or physical appearance.

[Shopaholic]

76. Linda Ronstadt has had an amazing career. . .

she's experimented with several different genres of music and distinguished herself in all of them. Who cares what she looks like? And I still think she looks great in her face. Lord knows she's got more talent in her pinkie than Rush & Sean & O'Lielly do all put together.

[PaDUer]

75. Ronstadt should walk

into his cubbyhole that he has..

[antigone382]

77. Well, Sean

At least Linda can sing, unlike your buddy Sara Evans.

[MisterP]

79. have you heard Hannity lately? He sounds like George Costanza!

"I feel like an out-of-work porn star."

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

80. "I don't like ad-hominem attacks"

--Sean Hannity, 1996, to Al Franken, backstage after Al was promoting "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot (and Other Observations)" on a FAUX News Program

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

81. and Hannity has the face of a frat house rapist

just wanted to add that

[Manix]

82. I'm starting to hate this prick more with each passing day!
