Hannity Suggests Racist Disrupters at Town Halls are 'Alinsky' Plants Sent by Obama
Edited on Thu Aug-13-09 05:09 PM by Emit
He told an African American caller that he doesn't "know who on the left or right is responsible" for the racist posters and name calling (the man asked, What about the Rosa parks poster and the reference to 'Nigga'), and suggested they are actually Democrats in disguise sent by Obama to make the Tea Party folks look bad.

He's going on and on about how Saul Alinsky encouraged his followers to infiltrate opponents' events and plant major falsehoods (and of course Hannity includes Obama as one of Alinsky's followers).

He's reading from this article:

Here's a little hint from me on the Nazi card. If a few folks actually do start showing up at town halls, opposing the MediCoup*, even dressed like Hitler and carrying a Swastika poster, I'll lay good hard cash on a bet that they've been sent by this Alinskyite President or his minions to deceive, just as Saul did with getting students to dress like the KKK at that rally back in the 70s.

And any newsman worth an ounce of table salt ought to be able to pin the tail right on that Alinsky donkey.

2. What is the right's weird obsession with Alinsky?
Ask 100 liberals about Alinsky and 90 of 'em will say, "Who?"

But if you listened to the right, you'd think every Democratic voter sleeps with one of his books under their pillow.

13. You're right about that.
I've never even heard of the fellow and I just had to look him up. Sounds like an interesting guy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky

My first guess is that he's popular with the knuckle-draggers because he hits so many of Newt's attack buzzwords: "Jewish," "radical," "have-nots," "community," "organize."

7. And think of all the corporatist sponsors who fund these disingenuous lies, distortions,
and other extreme RW PNAC agenda. :P

5. The man is deranged. Hannity, O'Lielly, Limpballs and Lou dobbs should be roommates
in some instititution for the criminally insane.

and there are quite a few others who could join them....
They never let facts and reality get in the way of what they have to spout.

6. In other words, what Nixon's 1972 campaign did
Sending Nixon volunteers as plants into the McGovern campaign to do cynical door to door knocking.

Calling in phony orders of 100 pizzas to McGovern headquarters.

8. Careful there, Hannity.
Your drones are extremely hostile to attacks on their world-view, and there's nothing more dangerous than a jilted lover, especially the ones that carry guns. So singling out your own followers and calling them "plants" is probably a real good way to get ventilated.

20. Absolutely.
Why don't speakers at Town Halls use this approach? When the banshees start screaming and waving their Obama=Nazi signs, the speaker can point to them and note that "Sean Hannity tells me you folks are just liberal plant sent here to make the anti-reform case look bad. Let me just compliment you on what a magnificent job you're doing!"

21. That's a heck of an idea.
For some reason I tend to gravitate toward the rejoinders that have fangs, and that line has some nice choppers on it.

12. Oh yeah right. We have done a poor job at organizing pro-reform
folks to show up at rallies, but somehow we have a massive, effective campaign to infiltrate the teabaggers' ranks with racist signs.
:crazy:

15. Standard maneuver. Blame black folks. It only works if white folks allow it to.

16. Oh, Sean.
Isn't it astounding how EVERY SINGLE racist conservative is actually an Obama plant? Why, if I didn't know better I'd say conservatives are just fucking horrible racist wastes of ape sperm and Sean Hannity is talking out of his puckered shit-stained asshole!

:sarcasm:

This is the first time I've heard the parrot speak before the person.
