Hannity Is Upset That People Are Questioning John O'Neill's Honesty...
...and patriotism.

But isn't that the same thing Hannity (and others) are doing to John Kerry???? :shrug:

2. I'm starting to wonder if...
most of Hannity's listeners are actually us looking for ways to bash him. He doesn't seem to have much of a following.

Hannity preaches to his choir, and I doubt he will persuade anyone with anything approaching an open mind.

3. Did they all go to hypocrite school or something?
JO : "Even tho I didn't serve under John Kerry, I can tell you his entire service to this nation was a sham."

People that actually served under Kerry: "You're lying."

JO: "How dare you question my character."

- sheesh

4. Hannity is a whore being paid to be upset and act indignant
if he were left up to his own devices, he'd be hard pressed to take the stand he does.

Let Hannity not get paid for his views and we'll see just how "upset" he is. Goggle-eyed whore!

7. Money, and lots of it, are what make Hannity, Rush,
Coulter, etc., get up in the morning. I'm sure there are times when they laugh to themselves about what they say because they know it's going to stir up both sides. People sell their souls to the devil everyday for more money. Ah, the "root of all evil" is not actually money, it's the love of money.

5. This has been going on since (what) last Thursday
I think that is when the Analizer first picked up this ball and started running with it.

The first day the first call told him they didn't like it and didn't think it was the right thing to do. He talked for over an hour because he couldn't find any calls (I am guessing) that agreed with him.

Friday he talked all afternoon before taking a call from a Army vet who said that Kerry didn't know what he was talking about in regards to free fire zones.

He is having a hard time even selling this to the "Hannitized".

6. No sane person takes Hannity serious
My buddies that are Republican think of him as totally unlistenable.

8. Hannity, like * and other chickenhawks didn't have the stones
to either fight in a war OR to protest against one.

Kerry, to his credit, did BOTH.

10. How do people of the low caliber
of Hannity and O'Reilly get airtime? We must truly be into the Roman empire descent when these liars and charlatans captivate viewers. How sad for the dignified newspeople of the past. Cronkite, Murrow, Reasoner. Their legacy has been given over to dancing bears.

11. Hannity is good at what he does
Edited on Wed Aug-11-04 03:44 PM by Dem_Strategist
he finds a weakness in his opponent's argument and hammers away at that one point.

So far this cycle, very few Dems have been able to counter him effectively.

How about a very rich aluminum mine in Alaska for sale cheap. It has first class aluminum.

17. I've seen his show
he only acknowledges his side of an argument. This is what is missing: discussion of the men who stood on the stage with Kerry and shook his hand. The men who actually served on his boat. The man who told of Kerry saving his life. The minister (also from the boat) who spoke of Kerry's courage. And when has Hannity discussed the laudatory memories of Kerry of Elliott from 1996....before he got paid to say otherwise? When has Hannity acknowledged the money trail for these swiftboat liars? Right back to Houston oil.
More that is missing: Hannity's discussion of where Bush was during the last two years of his Guard service. The names of anyone, anyone!, who served with him when he supposed to be in Alabama. Why Bush "stood down" after receiving expensive pilot training. Why Bush didn't show for his physical and was grounded as a pilot...while 300+ men -- A WEEK -- were dying in Viet Nam.

18. All fine and good
but I'm talking about his debate tactics and the paucity of Dems who counter him effectively.

20. Perhaps you could name
all the guests, liberals, that's Hannity has had on as guests....please list. Thanks. How many of Kerry's fellow swiftboat mates have been on his show? Just to counter the Bush-paid spokespeople? Give us their names and the dates. What other liberals speaking on Kerry's record? Again, care to give us names and dates? You're speaking of the "paucity of Dems who counter him" yet we're not hearing any specifics. Perhaps because none exist.

26. His only debate tactic
is to turn off his opponent and blatently misrepresent the truth. He is a fucking tool!

31. He has no debating tactics
It's all bluster and intolerance.

He's just a teeny johnsoned dilettante.

24. I don't ever watch his show
Not one thing that comes from his mouth is worthy, ever. He is slime, as bad as the Vets sliming Kerry or worse and I will not ever be fooled by his garbage ...... ever. I am constantly amazed at how people here spout off Hannity crap with a straight face.

29. What he does
very often is throw out some "fact" which catches the guest off guard, get them on the defensive, and keep them on the defensive by continuing to hammer away at this "fact". He'll keep saying things like "it's in the congressional record" or "we've got it on tape."

Of course, the "fact" can be easily shown to be false, but at the time the guest doesn't know this, because they have probably never heard this "fact" before. They can't be blamed for that, of course.

In other words, it is not a level playing field. He is a deeply dishonest lying liar.

I agree with you that he is good at what he does - it is just that what he does is really slimy.

Hannity doesn't *find* flaws in his opponents' arguments, he *creates* them. His "debates" are nothing but one strawman after another.

He's a fool, and anyone who believes his bullshit is an even bigger fool. At least Hannity is collecting a check.

14. Nazis upset Jews questioning Goebbels honesty
Same thing. Same kind of people.

End of story.

Nazis, even the Kinder and Gentler ones, will be Nazis after all.

15. Sean Hannity is soooooo two-faced!
There is a huge double standard when it comes to Sean Hannity's thinking. He has all the right to criticize, and question your agenda. But, the minute someone questions his agenda, all is wrong with the world.

21. Hannity looks like an unbaked Gingerbreadman..
.. he should take his ridiculous rhetoric back into the darkness where he came from. He just says shit because he gets money for it. If a Democrat was doing what Keyes is doing, if a Democrat was doing what O'Neill is doing, Hannity would be all over it like a republican at a porn convention.

22. Never mind his honesty, why isn't someone questioning his GENETICS??
John Ellis O'Neill has the same first and middle name as both Jeb, and their cousin the FAUX News shitbag who called the 2000 election.

We know the BCE recycles names often, and how common of a middle name is "Ellis"?

Seems a reasonable question, so why am I the only one asking?

If this fucking piece of shit is a Bush relative, can one word he says be taken seriously?

23. Per Hannity, patriotism and honesty are Republican traits exclusively.
His brain is smaller than a pea hen's, and he is one of the right-wing's worst foot-soldiers. Every night, he spouts enough sewage to bury a major city.

Any poor sucker who takes Hannity's shit as gospel is a sad, simple-minded case.

28. John O'Neill lied today claiming Jerome Corsi
did NOT co-author the book Unfit to Command. This was on CNN w/Wolfie. Here is what Corsi posted at freeperville:

"I am honored to be associated with Free Republic, as I am honored to be participating in bringing the case against John Kerry as co-author of UNFIT FOR COMMAND."

"jrlc" on Free Republic
Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.


O'Neill is a goddamned LIAR!!!

33. Hannity is such a putz...
I'd like to see asses like him, O'Reilly, Rush, etc. taken to a neutral location and have a moderator that would make them actually prove their crap against a well speaking liberal, and not let them sidestep by invoking 9-11, Castro, patriotism, etc. Never happen though.
