Sean Hannity Needs a Taste of His Own Medicine

There are few television personalities more irritating than Sean Hannity of Hannity & Colmes and Hannity's America on FOX "News." He comes off as a bully, first of all, which raises the hair on my neck immediately. He is very simplistic and binary (black or white, right or wrong) about issues that are nuanced. He front-end-loads his questions with a Caterpillar earth mover, and he is very often rude to the people he disagrees with. To Hannity, you are either a "Great American" or you are an "America Hater." And one "wrong" opinion, or misspoken sentence can move you from the former to the latter.

A typical question from Hannity might be, "Who do you hate more, Jesus or America?" or "Answer the question, yes or no. Have you stopped beating nuns with crowbars? Yes or no? Yes or no?"

But there is sadly no question that Hannity is affecting the Democratic presidential primaries. Both the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and 60s radical Bill Ayers were Hannity's pet issues. He's been beating them to death on his radio and television shows for a very long time, and now that both have burbled to the mainstream, he continues to bleat about it nightly. Hannity even got George Stephanopoulos to ask Barack Obama about Ayers in a debate!

But there's a little problem with Sean Hannity: he's a hypocrite. While it might seem that goes with the territory for a right-wing blowhole, in this case it's more than hyperbole. Check it out.

To date, we have received no response. But the attacks on Obama continue unabated. . .
