The desperation of Sean Hannity
I don't think I've seen anyone in modern political history as desperate and slanderous as Fox Noise Machine Sean Hannity. For two years he's been trying to stretch associations between Barack Obama and anyone he can think of, from Hitler to Attila the Hun. He's not just passionate about this, he's gluttonous. Tonight, he set his sights on the non-existent close friendship between Barack and Ludicris--who has recently come out with a song attacking McCain, Clinton and others.
I remember a few months back when he was trying to sell America the Rev. Wright story. He played that video compilation, which represented two minutes of 30 years worth of sermons.
"HE'S DONE! HE'S FINISHED" exclaimed Sean, not understanding why the world wasn't rallying around him.
He moved on to Bill Ayers. He moved on to Michelle Obama and the out-of-context "proud of my country for the first time" comment.
Red-faced and spitting bile during tirades, he couldn't comprehend why even his good friends Newt Gingrich and Karl Rove and John McCain, each on separate occasions told him to essentially give it a rest.
What's also beyond Sean's comprehension is why Barack Obama hasn't taken him up on an invitation to appear on his show.
Sean deserves recognition for such sincere lunacy.

No offense - but why on earth do you subject your synapses to that asshole? You'll likely live longer (and be far happier) were you to delete Faux Noise channel from your surfer gadget.
Just my $.02

It's like watching a train wreck...sometimes you just can't help yourself...Plus, it keeps you fired up...if your head doesn't explode...
Tonight it was MSNBC that had me screaming obscenities at the T.V. Thank God I had to turn it off and go to my Obama Platform Party meeting...I came back in a much better mood...

Fox is a comedy channel to me. Bill Orally and Sean are ridiculous caricatures of modern man.

Hannity's most loyal "fan" recently shot and killed two innocent people in a Unitarian church in Knoxville, TN, because they were "liberals."
Hannity's latest "hate liberals" book was on the crazy man's coffee table, along with others by Rush and O'Reilly and Savage.
I imagine he kept Coulters books in the bedroom.
If you want to see just what sort of influence these wingnut radio and TV hate-mongers have had on the fringes of our society, just follow this story in the news as it unfolds.
Hannity's hateful "free speech" has finally come to fruition, and some innocent people died because of him and Savage and Rush and the rest of the wingnut radioheads.
Maybe Hannity will find a way to justify himself, in his own eyes, but it will fall into the delusional category.History won't be so kind. Hannity will forever be remembered as a loudmouth, red-faced hate-filled bully who aspired to inspire dangerous people to do evil things, in the name of some neocon creed. And the families and loved ones of those innocent victims will always spit his name out with contempt when they speak it.
Quite a legacy, Sean. Congratulations on actually clinching your niche in America's history books.

I didn't know about the books being on the guys coffee table. I guess Fox isn't a comedy channel after all.

Regarding the guy from Knoxville, I think this says it all:
"Police found right-wing political books, brass knuckles, empty shotgun shell boxes and a handgun in the Powell home of a man who said he attacked a church in order to kill liberals "who are ruining the country," court records show".
