Franken and Hannity fighting on AAR!!!!

[onehandle]

Give him Hell, Al!

[nini]

1. is that who he's talking to now?

?

[dennis4868]

yes!

yaaaack!

[Caution]

2. please fill us cube rats in on what's being said.

[tishaLA]

3. They were arguing about Hannity misrepresenting

Dean's comments about an "interesting theory" (LIHOP). Now they have moved to "did Al or did Al not get escorted out of the FOX studios" and something I didn't quite catch re: Kucinich.

[dennis4868]

5. Hannity....

says that Al lied in his book when he stated that he was not escorted out of the FOX building.....WTF?

[DoomFook]

69. Franken Is Credible

I like Al alot. He did a fine job against that Nazi Hannity. Hannity is nothing but a card board cut-out with a voice chip programmed by freepers.

[CatWoman]

4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"I say she because you're Playgirl's sexiest".

ROFL

Al had to explain to Hannity that mostly gay men read Playgirl.

[indigobusiness]

13. Oh man yeah....quote

Hannity: What does that mean?

Franken: Don't commit any crimes.

[indigobusiness]

6. Hannity can't deal with anything beyond the superficial.

He has no respect, or understanding (maybe), of context.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. I think Hannity is winning

hate to say it. Al sounds foolish and he's being bullied

[tishaLA]

9. Freeper!

:P

[ObaMania]

10. I'm with you on that.

Al is losing big-time!

[nini]

11. he's not as rude as hannity.. that's for sure

hannity won't let him finish his points.. but that's what he has to do when he knows Franken will prove him wrong.

[indigobusiness]

22. If it is a pettiness contest...Hannity is winning

He is colossally superficial and interrupts to hijack the argument as soon as it veers into the meaningful.

[DeadHead67]

8. Al should just kosh him in the head with a chair !

[Poisonskin_com]

12. ugh

Fuck. I cannot stand Hannity's voice. Such a little shit.

[Zen Democrat]

23. Hannity is a bully who won't tolerate people doing this to him.

Al Franken is bending over backwards to let Hannity talk. Hannity is interrupting and blowing his spew. On his show, Hannity will tell people, THIS IS MY SHOW AND I'LL DO THE TALKING. Al's trying to be funny and Hannity can't see the joke when it hits him between the eyes.

[SaveElmer]

14. Franken just called him on Kosovo ... n/t

[CatWoman]

17. and Dickwad keeps trying to change the subject

some on this thread say Al is losing. Al is simply not being a blowhard like Hannity. He tries not to talk over him, and to show him some courtesy.

[Walt Starr]

15. I had to turn it off

I hated hearing Hannity spewing.

[bossfish]

20. Loved it when Al asked Hannity, if Hannity did any USO shows..

...sort of a dumb question, but

Hannity, "no"

Al, "that's right, you don't have the talent"

Sort of cheap shot, but got Sean all exercised...

[Walt Starr]

16. Hannity WALKED all over Al

This was a BAD move by Franken.

[DoomFook]

59. Hannity Loses

Al did a good job although he should of had some notes with him because Hannity is all programmed on a daily basis from saying the same crap over and over.

[dennis4868]

18. Franken allows Hannity....

to keep talking non-stop....

[MattNC]

19. i do have to say

that listening to the two side-by-side, Al just doesn't have the great voice for radio that Hannity does. But that still doesn't mean I still don't think Hannity is the scum of the earth. :)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

21. Hannity is beating his brains out because he's calm - even if he is full

of shit. Franken sounds whiny and desperate

[bagnana]

24. no way, Hannity was taken to the cleaners, esp. on his

Dean slip up. I literally threw my hands up and cheered for Al. Hannity is a LLLIIIIAAARRR and was caught on it!!!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

34. That was fantastic

I think Al sounded like he was lying to Hannity about being thrown out

[SemperEadem]

27. But in the end, Hannity will leave the studio and Franken will

parody the hell out of him with his punishing humor for the rest of his shift. Hannity may be winning the battle, but Franken will win this war in the end... it's his show.

[tishaLA]

25. Hannity just said

"The right goes too far sometimes too" LOL. The pretense of sincerity. Dear Jeebus. Hannity promises to measure his words more carefully. If only one could believe you, dear Seannie boy.

[City Lights]

What a prick.

Al is talking and sean starts talking to someone else. He's not even listening to Al. Asshole!

[redqueen]

Al did not get walked all over

Al is slamming Hannity on 'our common enemy'... Al pointing out that our direst problem is our common enemy, which is NOT Iraq, and cowardly Hannity starts yammering hi to Janeane and about how she's mean to him...

Al says, 'glad you're listening to my point about our greatest danger'

LOL!

[tishaLA]

That was amazing.

"Hi Janeane!" Jesus christ

[redqueen]

36. He had to do *something*

He was being shown up as the idiot he is!

LOL!

[Gothic Sponge]

39. He's a creep! He tried to bait Janeane yesterday too!

[librechik]

40. "Janeane called me a cretin on her show the other night" B***h!

that is too mean to cretins.

Hannity is an insult to boxes of hammers.

[Cat Atomic]

26. You can't let a guy like Hannity just blather on like that.

He interrupts Franken ever 3 seconds, and Al lets him. Then Hannity takes his time spouting talking points and outright lies non-stop.

[redqueen]

28. He just sounds like a nutcase

the audience to this show knows however many times he interrupts to lie, he's lying.

[callous taoboy]

35. Hannity

is but a fart in the skillet.

[City Lights]

29. More double-standards.

Tells Al he needs to be more objective and hold Dems to same standard he holds pukes.

[mac56]

30. I don't think Al's getting beaten as badly as some are representing it.

Hannity's definitely a boor, but he's slipped up a few times.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

37. He slips up but he was running the interview

Al let him take control

[Gothic Sponge]

42. I think he did that because he wanted to keep him on the air

If he pissed him off, he would have walked away.

[mac56]

45. I thihk you're right.

I think Al gave Hannity the rope with which to hang himself. This way Al shows the world what an obnoxious boorish fucktard Hannity really is. Maybe not the victory many would have wanted, but a real victory just the same.

[Anwen]

65. I agree with you

I though Al held his own. I thought Hannity just sounded shrill

[giant_robot]

31. Nice playgirl dig at the end!! n/t

[redqueen]

32. Al's parting shot - Hannity very popoular among gay men here in America

LOL!

Al asks as cowardly Hannity walks out 'can I come on your show?'

Cowardly Hannity 'yeah... well we'll think about it'

BAWK BAWK!

How's that for a tell as to who won this little fight?

[SaveElmer]

33. It's easy to spout on

When you have a complete disregard of the facts!!!

Al nails him on the facts and Hannity just simply says he disagrees...it's why the non-thinkers love him. They can count on him to tell them that the facts don't matter.

[buycitgo]

47. exactly, but Al REALLY needs to have down PAT

the list of short/sweet Bush lies and flipflops with which to HAMMER The likes of Hannazi

it was the BEST when he actually made the stooge ADMIT that he "misspoke" about the Dean thing, but ONLY when they played his OWN words from a tape

misspoke?

Al shouldn't have let him get away with THAT one

should have played one of those LIAR clips they always do

too bad they didn't have those racked up

Hannity really came off badly, as others have pointed out

he had very little, if ANYTHING going but bluster and bullying

I don't remember him marshalling any facts to support his emotional calls for unquestioning patriotism.

whenever Al called him on this BS, he tried to sweep it aside

Al should have badgered him more on that

want an earpiece, Al?

[UTUSN]

38. HANNITY Motor Mouth, Al Can Barely Get a Word In n/t

[dennis4868]

41. Al was terrible....

he allowed Hannity to keep on talking and everytime Al tried to get a word in Hannity would interrupt and talk over him or start talking to someone else ("Hi Jeneane"). Hannity was lying his ass of as usual and he got away with it big time.....I AM DISAPPOINTED IN AL. The whole purpose of his show is to show how the right lies and distorts the truth and he allowed Hannity to do it on his show....WTF? I am sure Hannity will walk away from this thinking I got Al real good and I am in the right....yaaaack! :-(

[Gothic Sponge]

46. Al was being too gracious

He didn't want Hannity to get pissed and walk away.

[dennis4868]

52. so let him walk away....

being gracious went out the door after the 2000 election!

[Gothic Sponge]

55. Yeah, but it makes great ratings for AAR

[redqueen]

50. If he was so sure he 'got Al real good' and won this fight

why would he chicken out of having Al on his show?

He has no illusions about how convincing his shoutfest was. His constant loud ranting, however much he was allowed to rant, doesn't make up for his being short on facts.

[librechik]

43. Al makes the same mistake we do: that a rational discussion can be carried

out with these snakes and insectoids.

Not gonna happen.

They only care about labeling things in as memorable a way as possible, and avoiding all rational discussion. They would lose every time if they ever tried to debate on the facts and issues.

[Cat Atomic]

44. It's Al's show. He should just hold Hannity to a single point.

And ignore him when he tries to change the subject. Just keep beating him over the head with one thing until the spot is over.

I think Al had him right at the beginning when he pointed out that Hannity criticized Clinton in Kosovo during wartime, but now says that sort of thing is undermining the troops. Hannity just went into his meaningless garbage about "enemies, enemies, enemies, we must work together", and then changed the subject.

Al should just tell him it's his show and if Hannity won't answer the question he should leave. Al's got a lot of knowledge on this stuff, and I think he's easily baited away from a subject in his eagerness to disprove a new lie.

[K-W]

48. What liberals are capable of destroying Hannity.

He is a master of deception and rhetoric, and exploiting liberals in debates. What liberals could stand his barrages and hit him hard and fast?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

51. Mike Malloy. n/t

[Gothic Sponge]

53. Mike Malloy and Randi

[Reverend_Smitty]

56. They would nail him to the wall

Those two can beat any wingnut at their own game...however I think that if Hannity was on Randi's show and he started talking to someone else, I think she would B-Slap him!!

Al is not the kind of guy who will talk over you, he will be polite and let you make an ass-hole out of yourself.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

57. I forgot her. She devoured Oliver North

and then proceeded to deposit him on the toilet.

[underpants]

63. Hannity isn't the master of anything-Al took him apart

Hannity's excuse about stwisting what Dean said was simply ignoring the facts that had just been put in front of him.

Anyone who barely pays attention to the actual news can take him apart that is why he doesn't allow himself to get in that situation....usually.

[Bettie]

49. In the end...

Hannity came off as an arrogant liar and a dickhead.

For those who are so disappointed with Al's performance, well, he seemed to me to be trying to be polite while disagreeing with the guy and yes, it may have made him look weak to some people.

Still, I do think that Hannity came off as the loser in their little debate.

[Gothic Sponge]

61. I think Al did fine for his style of radio

Al's style is not the aggressive style like Hannity. If it had been Mike Malloy with Hannity....Hannity would have been walking away crying.

[underpants]

64. That's why I like Al is it is FUN to listen to

Different is good.

[Ronnie]

66. It's always difficult to

debate somebody who lies unabashedly.

[K-W]

54. Al is a good liberal, conservatives like him because he lets them talk.

It is a disadvantage here, but I think it has helped al get the exposure he has gotten, so all in all, Ill take it.

[buycitgo]

60. wanna bet who has the higher Q rating?

bet it's not even close

who watches FOX cable?

how long has SNL been on the air?

how many movies has Hannazi been in?

AAR may benefit from more exposure, but Franken himself doesn't need it

[dennis4868]

58. The problem with this was....

Al talks to slow, Hannity knows how to talk over people, and Hannity comes with his RW talking points from Rove....Al lost that battle big time...hate to admit it....when Hannity said that even Clinton in 1998 said that Saddam was a threat I almost lost it....THAT IS WHY CLINTON BOMBED SADDAM IN 1998 and afterwards the military said they most likely destroyed most of saddam's dangerous weapons! Sheeesh...and Al just sits there quiet talking about how sexy Hannity is...WTF?

[buycitgo]

62. agreed that Al should have TALKED OVER him at that

point and said that WJC made the obvious and sensible decision NOT to invade

AND.......if Saddam was SUCH A THREAT, as Hannazi claims, WHY did they wait for TWO years to invade?

what did 911 have to do with the invasion, if he had all those nukes, biochem weapons, huh?

why did we WAIT those two years, Sean?

HUH?

aren't we lucky they didn't NUKE us before we saved ourselves from him?

why don't dems ask these thugs why they weren't SCREAMING to invade Saddam back in 98?

OH, yeah, they were too busy screaming DOGWAG, weren't they?

how come dems never hit em with that?

[charlie105]

68. And you can bet the barn that Hannity is going to play the

recording all day long on his show. And for many days to come, with a little creative editing thrown in. To show how he bravely confronted Al Franken on the the latter's turf, the lib network, and blew him out of the water.

The bottom line is that Hannity is not going to convert any non-believers, no matter how long he trumpets this 'triumph'.
So, yes, maybe a tactical mistake by Al to have Hannity on the show, but Since Hannity has been pooh-poohing the whole concept of AAR, his coming on the show adds legitimacy to its existence.

[dennis4868]

73. It was a mistake....

Al let Hannity control the conversation and do most of the talking...always getting the last word.

[AmerDem]

67. Link? any mp3 or stream anywhere?

:kick:

[donhakman]

71. Hannity should go against

Robin Williams.

It would be a fast but fair fight.

[LuminousX]

70. I didn't hear any of it, but

Consider what Franken has been able to do up to now against these blowhards. Now he was clips of Hannity spouting and spewing, making assertions that can be discredited at a later more beneficial time.

[redqueen]

72. And without interruption

nice, clean audio.

I like the way you think.
