Sean Hannity Tells Jerry Springer That His Parents Must've Dropped Him On His Head

Share |

Sean Hannity tells Jerry Springer that his parents must have dropped him on his head because he supports Barack Obama.

I assume that means that Hannity thinks that half of America has been dropped on their heads by their parents. I don't think Hannity's parents dropped him on his head, I'm sure there's another (nurological) explaination for his skewed view of America.

Fox News Hannity Has Guest Do His Andrew Breitbart Damage Control

Share |

Sean Hannity has Ann Coulter doing his damage control by allowing her to suggest that Andrew Breitbart was "set-up" by being sent the "already edited" video.

"The whole key to this story is that Andrew Breitbart was set up. He was sent a tape which we now know was massively out of context...Of course the White House reacted that way - of course you reacted the way you did - anyone would have....The person who sent the tape has to know what the full speech said, and whoever sent only that segment to Andrew Breitbart is the one who should apologize to Shirley Sherrod."

Hold the phone you silly little freak! - Andrew Brietbart doesn't owe anyone an apology because he was just doing what right-wing propagandists do. That's like expecting a wife-beater to apologize to his wife after smacking her around.

Sean Hannity just sat there nodding his head in agreement to Ann Coulters bullshit never touching on the fact that Fox News has an obligation to research a story before airing it. Well.....they do if they still care to be considered a ligitimate source for news and information.
Andrew Breitbart was not "sent the tapes" the way that Ann Coulter was suggesting. She made it seem like the video was handed off by two people with identical brief cases in a crowded train station. Or by some sinister "deepthroat" source in an underground parking garage.

Breitbart himself told Sean Hannity on Tuesday night that, he requested the tape - which he supposedly first learned of way back in April - He told Hannity that he was sent "two excerpts" which seems to imply that he either pieced portions of both excerpts together himself, or that he only offered up one excerpt and never bothered to look at the second. Either way, the guy is an even worse liar then his star pupil Jimmy O'Keefe.

But to be fair to Andy, at least he's smart enough to pull off his scams at home with a keyboard and a mouse instead of dressing up like a pimp or a telephone repairman anf taking his little show on the road.

Sarah Palin Shares Her Immigration Policy Experience On Fox News

Share |

Have you ever been to an elementary school talent show and listened to a child sing so badly that you cringe at the noise coming from thier mouth? -- That's what it's like to watch Alaska's half-term former Governor Sarah Palin trying to make a point while sharing her pearls of wisdom on Fox News.

Was there not a single person available more knowledgable on the subject of immigration from a historical, as well as a current day standpoint? I'm sure there must have been, but I suppose you couldn't spin a topic Fox News style if you're discussing the issue with someone that knows what in the hell they are talking about.


Where is Sarah Palin's immigration policy experience? - Is it up there in the thin air where she keeps her foreign policy experience? - Is that it? -- Because she can see the border between Russia from Alaska from land in Alaska she's suddenly an expert on immigration. -- Really? -- I can see Mt. Baldy from my kitchen window, but that doesn't make me a mountian climber! -- So far the only conclusion that I can draw from the conservative talking points on "border security" is that Mexican's are smarter then Russians and Canadians? - Or the issue of "border security" only refers to the Mexican border and not those other borders between us and our fair complected neighbors to the north. Therefore, as far as Fox News is concerned -- "border security" only refers to the border between The United States and Mexico and the term "illegal immigrant" only refers to Mexicans.

As with all of Palin's tee-vee appearances, she tosses out a few buzz words about the topic at hand, but uses the majority of the segment to blast President Obama not for the bullshit she tries to claim, but to retaliate for the electorial bitch slapping he gave to her and John McCain back in 2008 -- This is textbook behavior for Sarah "The Retaliator" Palin. Just ask Trooper Wooten, or former Alaska Safety Comissioner Walter Monaghan, or the libraian back in Wasilla, or Levi Johnston. Ask anyone who has either questioned her authority, caught her in a lie, caused her any embarrassment due to no fault of thier own, or compeated against her and won. That's the sore spot that get's her bi-polar disorder enflamed like a scortching case of genital herpes. It's her strike zone and if your in it, she can't help herself. She has no choice but to attack regardless of how transparent her ture motives are.

Watch her and Sean Hannity try to get somebody to believe that a law that effects only one racial segment of society can be facilitated without racial profiling. That's like telling a dog catcher to go out and round up just the Chihuahua's, but you can't just stop an animal because it looks like a Chihuahua, or because it barks like a Chihuahua. You gotta catch it digging through trash cans first or trying to bite the postman. Then you can do whatever is necessary to determine that it is infact a Chihuahua and not someones licensed pet. If Arizona law enforcement officers are going to investigate citizenship or resident alien status of individuals already "suspected" of criminal activity, they are already mandated to optain valid identification from all persons detained regardless if they are booked into custody, or released with or without a citation.

Sean Hannity Goes All In For Palin......Alone!

Share |

Inspite of 75% of America thinking that Sarah Palin not being qualified to be President of The United States, Sean Hannity thinks that Palin would not only make a better president, but that she's smarter......really? -

President Obama is considered by many to be, academically and intellectually, one of the smartest presidents to ever take office -- true or not, it's indisputable that he is well-educated.




Even Fox News contributor Juan Williams couldn't stomach Hannity's gushing over Sarah Palin's appearance on Jay Leno's show. Hannity said: ". . . I think she's gone a long way to opening the door for people to say, all right, maybe she was treated unfairly." as if defending herself from her own stupidity was an accomplishment.

Williams conceded that she was "very human and funny . . . I think she is a superstar, a centerfold for conservative men," but went on to say that she's not likely to convince 75% of the American public who don't think she's qualified to be president. Hannity went all in and said: "I think she's brilliant, I think she's gutsy, I think she's courageous, and I'll tell you what, I think she's smarter than Barack Obama. She wouldn't lead us into this socialist utopia . . . ."

Smarter than Barack Obama? Five colleges in six years to get a bachelors degree? Couldn't explain the office of Vice President of the United States -- the job she was applying to the American public for -- four times? And those "gotcha" interviews with Katie Couric and Charlie Gibson . . . whew, sharp intellect are not the words that instantly spring to mind.

Juan Williams reacted the way many Americans react to this statement, except he didn't keep his composure to a limit as most of Hannity's Great American Panel. "You are so wild on this point," he told Hannity, ". . . Your libido is . . . getting in the way of your thinking."

Hannity insisted that he'd take "Governor Palin as President over Barack Obama, to which Williams incredulously replied, "Come on . . . You would trust her with our national security over Barack Obama . . . you'd rather listen to her explain national policy than Barack Obama?" This earned an emphatic "yes" from Hannity -- which goes to show that thinking with a libido doesn't merely interfere with thinking, it turns men of otherwise average intelligence into blithering idiots. I mean, come on -- it was on Hannity's own show that Palin seemed to not know the difference between Iran and Iraq.

Hannity, accused by Williams of being "self-righteous," protested that Williams was trying to diminish Palin, and claimed, "What if I started commenting on Michelle Obama's looks? . . . We don't go after Barack Obama's wife and what she wears and her clothes . . . nobody does." Wow, then this must have been somebody pretending to be Sean Hannity on Sean Hannity's radio show who ridiculed Michelle Obama's clothes when she went overseas and claimed she was wearing designer clothes so people would call her "Jackie Kennedy." Of course, in his defense, most of his smears have nothing to do with clothing, like when he implied that Michelle was a racist, unpatriotic, and said she was "bitter and angry."

(And as an aside, Williams can't exactly take the high road on this one either. He's slammed Michelle Obama on more than one occasion, at one time saying she has "this Stokely Carmichael-in-a-designer-dress thing going" and that she could be a "liabilit[y]" or an "albatross" for President Obama.)

Hannity protested, "She's smart enough not to dig us into this hole of socialism, she's smart enough not to cut our nukes in half, smart enough not to negotiate with Iran without preconditions, smart enough to understand capitalism works over socialism . . . ."

"She's smart enough not to cut our nukes in half," bleated Hannity. Hannity is, of course, no military expert, and never even served in the military -- but he apparently believes he and little Sarah know more about nuclear weapons than, say, "Retired U.S. generals and admirals [who] have repeatedly advocated junking all nuclear weapons, calling them ruinously expensive and of no military value." And, although Republicans are professing fear at the nuclear threat from North Korea and Iran, and "accuse Obama of near treason for having even considered junking America’s huge nuclear arsenal," the truth is that "North Korea has no long-ranged nuclear capability and wants nukes for defence against a possible U.S. nuclear attack . . . Iran has no nuclear weapons as of now and poses no threat to the distant U.S."

It was Juan Williams who left Hannity with nothing to say but a sarcastic "Okay" when Williams closing comment was that Palin was, "Smart enough to quit on the voters of Alaska before her term was up."

Palin herself during her Tonight Show appearance said that she was glad that she wasn't Vice President because she wouldn't know what to do with all of the free time.....

Fox News' Gag Order Re: O'Keefe Wiretap Case Pending Federal Indictment

Share |

As this political espionage case unfolds, the prime mover is James O’Keefe — the young conservative activist with a history for this type of illegal activity. Last year O'Keefe and a female accomplice posed as pimp and prostitute and secretly recorded videotape of conversations between themselves and employees at an ACORN office in Pennsylvania.

State Law prohibits recording or videotaping a person without thier concent. Nevertheless, immediately following O'Keefe's previous undercover calamity at ACORN, Fox News nearly pulled a groin muscle circling the wagons around O'Keefe and his female accomplice. Beck and fellow Fox host Sean Hannity promoted O'Keefe's videos and openly scolded the media for ignoring them.

Now it's Fox News that's doing the ignoring. Now that O'Keefe has graduated from violating state law to violating federal law, Fox is not so quick to circle the wagons this time around. During thier shows last night, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly didn't utter a peep about this up and coming "G. Gordon Liddy" wannbe.

Now to be "Fair & Balanced" - On his radio show today, Fox News host Glenn Beck condemned James O’Keefe's actions and I have to say, he didn't hold back. It just leaves me wondering why Beck wouldn't use his highly rated cable show at Fox News to opine in the same manner that he did on his radio program. I suspect that it wasn't Beck's decision to make.

BECK: If they were doing that — that’s Watergate. Insanely stupid and illegal. … I haven’t heard his side, but you don’t do anything illegal, that’s Watergate territory. You just don’t do that. And besides that I don’t think you go dressed up —I mean it’s a senator. For the love of Pete, it’s a senator.
CO-HOST: First of all, it’s different than an ACORN office. Because you’re talking about a U.S. senator here! [...]

BECK: It’s exactly the same thing I said for the state dinner. You must not allow — the Secret Service must come down on these peoples in the White House like a box of rocks. You don’t do anything to hurt security for the president or for a senator or anybody else. You don’t mess around with it. Ever, ever, ever, ever. … We have enough [evidence] to, I believe, condemn.

Listen here:


Fox reporter Tim Gaughan tried to downplay the news yesterday, saying, “[It's a] very weird story that probably needs a lot of context and a lot of looking into.” I think that when anyone walks into a federal building posing as someone else, particularly posing a public utility worker or some other profession for the purpose of validating their presence, there is not alot of looking into or context required to conclude that there is a news story here.





Regardless of what they hoped to do to or learn about the phone system in Sen. Landrieu's office, these men do not understand the seriousness of what they have already admitted to the FBI. It is against the law to enter a federal building under false pretenses and O'Keefe has already admitted that to the FBI without having ever read Sections 1036 and 1362 of Title 18:


Whoever willfully or maliciously injures or destroys any of the works, property, or material of any radio, telegraph, telephone or cable, line, station, or system, or other means of communication, operated or controlled by the United States, or used or intended to be used for military or civil defense functions of the United States, whether constructed or in process of construction, or willfully or maliciously interferes in any way with the working or use of any such line, or system, or willfully or maliciously obstructs, hinders, or delays the transmission of any communication over any such line, or system, or attempts or conspires to do such an act, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.




If Beck, Hannity, and O'Reilly worked at The Food Channel and hosted cooking shows, that would be one thing. But when you host political cable programs for a cable news network, covering a story about wiretapping the offices of a United States Senator cannot be overlooked. Well.....is suppose it can be overlooked since this is a free country. But please don't get all defensive and stomp your feet when people question the ligitimacy of your network as a reliable source for news and information.



CORRECTION: "But please don't get all defensive and stomp your feet when people discover that you network is not a reliable source for news and information." ANY QUESTIONS?

Fox News Helps Rep. Bachmann With Old File Footage

Share |

Sean Hannity helps Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) turn her TupperWear Party sized rally into a Tea Party Sized rally by using old file footage of Glenn Becks 9/12 Tea Party Protest. They claim the crowd size to be as high as 45,000, which is probably what the crowd size really was back on 9/12. Not the 1.7 million then Beck claimed. Fox News and its's on-air personalities have a Sarah Palin type disconnect with the truth.

Sean Hannity Blast Charges Against ACORN Video Couple

Share |

On tonight's edition of Hannity's America, Hanna Giles who is the girl that pretended to be a prostitute in an amateur undercover video sting at the Baltimore offices of ACORN found a sympathetic shoulder in Sean Hannity.

Giles and James O'Keefe who played her pimp managed to engage ACORN staffers into conversation about running an illegal brothel where girls as young as 13 would be imported from out of the country. The videotape clearly captures two ACORN workers suggesting suspicious tax advice while completely overlooking the fact that Giles and O'Keefe had verbalized their intent to force juveniles into prostitution.

Due to expectation of privacy laws in Maryland, Giles and O'Keffe are now being sued by ACORN and my even face criminal charges at the hands of the Maryland State Attorney as well as the Baltimore City Attorney. However, during the segment Hannity and Giles attempted to portray her legal troubles as some sort of government attack to stifle dissent and violate her first amendment rights to freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

There seems to be a common belief among the right-wing that the rule of law is just a guideline that can be ignored if the end result serves a greater purpose. Like how the Bush Administration concluded that waterboarding was okay as long as it resulted in getting vital information to serve some greater cause. The law is the law and either you follow it or you do not. Secondly, ingornace of the law is neither a defense or an excuse.

Maryland law strictly prohibit these types of hidden recordings without two party consent. However, there are plenty of ACORN offices in states where these expectation of privacy laws do not exist and would have been perfectly legal. You can assume that either O'Keefe and Giles honestly did not know that it was illegal or that they did know and simply didn't care. Either way they committed a crime and you cannot simply overlook that fact because they captured a bigger crime on videotape in the process.

That would be like someone going out and capturing a drug deal on videotape and then taking the dope and the video to the police and expecting a pat on the back. It just doesn't work that way and you would think that two people that appear to be as intelligent as Giles and O'Keefe would know that. Most of us learned very early on in life, as children perhaps, that you cannot take the law into your own hands.

Baltimore, MD – September 11, 2009 – We have received inquiries from citizens and the media asking whether the Baltimore City State’s Attorneys Office would initiate a criminal investigation for acts allegedly committed at ACORN offices located in Baltimore. The only information received in reference to this alleged criminal behavior was a YouTube video. Upon review by this office, the video appears to be incomplete. In addition, the audio portion could possibly have been obtained in violation of Maryland Law, Annotated Code of Maryland Courts and Judicial Proceedings Article §10-402, which requires two party consent.
If it is determined that the audio portion now being heard on YouTube was illegally obtained, it is also illegal under Maryland Law to willfully use or willfully disclose the content of said audio. The penalty for the unlawful interception, disclosure or use of it is a felony punishable up to 5 years.

It seems that Giles and O'Keefe couldn't wait to get these videos out into the news cycle, I presume, hoping that they would be seen as heros and civic minded individuals. It's more likely then not that they never considered the legal trouble that they would bring upon themselves.

If the goal was to capture dishonest or illegal activity going on within ACORN, why not go directly to the District Attorney to try and seek ammunity while prompting the Public Integrity Unit of the District Attorney's Office to go out and conduct a similar sting, with a warrent of course, to gather evidence that could be used in a court of law.

Despite the long list of laws possibly broken by these ACORN representatives, the Baltimore city attorneys office is now looking into whether or not Giles and O'Keefe violated statutes concerning taping people without their consent. And why not since Giles and O'Keefe have only succeeded in assuring that no charges will be filed against the two women shown in the videotape because they have broken the law and commited a crime in the process of trying to document a bigger crime.

They have also significantly compromised any chance of shutting down ACORN once and for all and sending both of those women to prison.
Nevertheless, it is catagorically dishonest to even assert that the criminal and civial actions against Giles and O'Keefe are some sort of Government attempt to silence dissent or to deprive then of their civil rights under the First Amendment of The Constitution.

Is it unfair what is happening to Giles and O'Keefe? -YES!

Should we ever ignore violations of the law because it's unfair? - NO!

There are so many people out there saying that any criminal charges against Giles and O'Keefe would be an act retaliation. They blame the media for being unwilling to report the misdeeds of ACORN and that there is a conserted effort by the "authorities" to go after those that dare to uncover such acts.

People all over the country have turned whistle blower without violating the law in the process. And in those cases where laws would be broken to uncover these activities, law enforcement has always been willing to grant ammunity if it results in uncovering a more significant crime.

I mean come on! - How many murders did the FBI overlook at the hands of "Sammy The Bull" in order to put John Ghotti away for life? - I believe the answer is 14. But it seems that Giles and O'Keefe where more interested in 15 minutes of fame rather then actually bringing ACORN down in flames.

But you have to give Giles and O'Keefe credit for getting ACORN defunded. Eventhough ACORN will most likely not survive this event in the longrun, it might be a year or so before they succumb to the loss of funding.

Has Glenn Beck Put Himself At Risk Like Dr. Tiller?

Share |

You know, someone on YouTube posted a comment saying that this video was a murder threat. I'm not sure they understand the difference between a warning and a direct threat. I'm sure that the guy that murdered Dr. George Tiller felt that he was completely justified in shooting to death a man that he felt was a greater risk to the public at large.

.

There is no doubt in my mind that Glenn Beck is a greater threat to the public at large and that there are sick people out there who will believe that the risk that Beck poses outweighs his right to earn a living doing what he is doing and saying the things that he says.


Glenn Beck himself has spoken about the level of personal security that he has to maintain just to walk down the street, or to walk into a Wendy's restraunt without running into someone that hates his fucking guts. He is now reaping the rewards of his hate speech and I'm simply sounding the alarm that I believe that he has now reached the point where he is putting himself and his family at risk just by standing near them in public.

.

Why I am concerned with Glenn Back's welfair, I have no idea, but if his employers at Fox News can't take a few minutes to tell Beck that it might be a good idea to kick down his rhetoric a few thousand notches, then someone should do it. His sponsers are distancing themselves from his show and they are not going to do that if it's not in their best interest to do so.

.

The colorofchange.org didn't single handedly do this on their own, it took thousands of people to call, write, and email a complaint to the advertiser. All I'm saying is that it is my opinion and that Beck has now crossed the line where he is taking away the shock value should some whackjob out there among the other 300 million do to him what was done to Dr. George Tiller.

.

I think that there are more people, should that happen, would say "Oh, well he had to see that coming." then there are those who would be surprised that something like that would happen to Glenn Beck.

.

Not even Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh has gone as far into the abyss as Beck has and maybe that's whats really going on here. Beck is in a pissing contest with Hannity and Limbaugh for ratings, but more importantly, the all mighty dollar.

Actor Jon Voight Joins Sean Hannity's Traveling Sideshow

Share |

Craig T. Nelson, Chuck Norris, and Jon Voight are a trio of Hollywood has-beens who have been sent off to TV land in cable network shows like 24, and late night informercials. They're grasping onto The Fox News Channels Sean Hannity because he is officially the only person left that considers them celebrities. On the way to Cincinnati to participate in one of Sean Hannity's "Freedom Concerts" Voight paused long enough to offer up some heavy duty right wing rhetoric with a side of laborotory grade bullshit.

"There's a real question at stake now. Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?" Voight said in an interview with the paper.

"We are witnessing a slow, steady takeover of our true freedoms. We are becoming a socialist nation, and whoever can't see this is probably hoping it isn't true." Voight said.

Just like every other Fox News watching nit-wit, Voight speaks of a slow, steady takeover of our "true" freedoms, but never elaborates on exactly what those freedoms are, how they've been taken over, and by whom. It boggles the mind to contemplate just how slow and steady this takeover must be happening since Obama has only been in office seven months.

Of course to wrap it all up comes the use of words like 'probably' or 'maybe' for example when Voight says: "We are becoming a socilist nation, and whoever can't see this is probably hoping it isn't true.

Well, no not really. Those of us "who can't see this" are a vast majority of Americans who know that it isn't true. Voight goes on to say:

"Do not let the Obama administration fool you with all their cunning Alinsky methods. And if you don't know what that method is, I implore you to get the book "Rules for Radicals," by Saul Alinsky. Mr. Obama is very well trained in these methods."

Okay, Mr. Voight! - If you have to explain who in the fuck Saul Alinsky is, it's obvious that you're blowing your right-wing dog whistle to that segment of America that we've seen making a B-Line from the trailer park to the townhall meetings. They operate better with specific instruction as Voight illustrates by "imploring" them to get Alinsky's book - "Rules for Radicals."

"The real truth is that the Obama administration is professional at bullying, as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign. It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them. So I ask again: Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?"

Okay, Mr. Voight! - I hate to keep interrupting, but you're so full of shit. "The real truth is..." - Opposed to what? the other truth, the make believe truth, the truth that only resides within what's left of your cocain saturated brain? - Voight says that "the Obama administration is professional at bullying, as we have witnessed with ACORN at work during the presidential campaign.

Hey shit head! - There was no Obama Administration during the presidential campaign. Voight continues with "It seems to me they are sending down their bullies to create fist fights among average American citizens who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them. So I ask again: Is President Obama creating a civil war in our own country?"

Okay, so we've got rightwing whack-jobs showing up at townhall meeting armed to the teeth with AK-47's and you're talking about bullies and fist fights! - Are you shittin' me with this? - "Average Americans who don't want a government-run health care plan forced upon them." - Jesus Fucking Christ! - What part of public option, thus the word "option" do you not understand? -

And to answer your question, Obama isn't trying to start a civil war, he's trying to prevent one. Let's not forget that it's the right that's locked and loaded. I suspect that you're just loaded. I'll just leave it at that before I say something rude or offensive.

Michelle Bachmann (R) MN. Dishonest About Minnesota Innovation

Share |

Michelle Bachmann (R) MN takes liberty with the truth while talking with The Fox News Channels Sean Hannity. While spinning the public discourse surrounding health reform, Bahmann told Hannity that Minnesota was known for innovation and that "a gentleman invented the pacemaker in his garage." which doesn't exactly jive with reality.

Canadian, John Hopps invented the first cardiac pacemaker. While experimenting with radio frequency heating to restore body temperature, Hopps made an unexpected discovery: if a heart stopped beating due to cooling, it could be started again by artificial stimulation using mechanical or electric means. This lead to Hopps' invention of the world's first cardiac pacemaker in 1950.

Wilson Greatbatch invented a newly-designed cardiac pacemaker and a corrosion-free lithium battery to power it Patent Number(s) 3,057,356 - Born in Buffalo, New York, Greatbatch attended Cornell University and graduated with a B.E.E. in electrical engineering in 1950. Improvements had been made upon the two men's earlier work by creating the Chardack-Greatbatch pacemaker in 1960.

It used Mallory mercuric oxide-zinc cells for its energy source, then coupled to electrodes placed into the myocardium of the patient's heart. It was this patented innovation that led to the Medtronic company of Minneapolis commencing manufacture and further development of cardiac pacemakers, but by no stretch of the imagination was it the inventor of the pacemaker.

Well.....unless you're Rep. Michelle Bachmann. Then there is no telling how far the imagination can stretch. Historical reports to confirm that Medtronic got it's start in a garage in northeast Minneapolis as a repair service specializing in medical equipment.

Townhaller Katy Abram Writes 04' Review Of Sean Hannity Book

Share |

Townhall protestor Katy Abram said to Pensylvania Sen. Arlan Spector "I'm 35 years old and I haven't been interested in politics until know.

You've awaken a sleeping giant!" - Once the news clip hit the airwaves, it went viral across YouTube. The same can be said about Abram's subsequent appearances on MSNBC's Hardball and Fox News Channels Hannity's America.

In a previous post at ChicoBrisbane.Com, we highlighted that Abram's disinterest in politics actually goes back to 2006 when we discovered her connection as an active organizer for Glenn Beck's 9/12 project. Recently a ChicoBrisbane commentor posted a link where Katy Abram offered up a glowing review of Sean Hannity's book Deliver Us From Evil on the Amazon website.

I suspect that it won't be long before we learn that Abram was a member of The Young Republicans. In that review, Abram said that she purchased Hannity's book over the weekend and that it "has stirred the fire in my belly." - Ironically this statement was made more then five years before Abram's claim of having an interested in politics.

I think that at this point in the "townhall" debate, it's safe to assume that the blatent dishonesty of Katy Abram and Heather Blish are indicative of the theatrics that surround the public discourse. Those who speak loudest, hurl the most bullshit. The bigger the sign, the less the sign holder actually beleives what the sign says. - The whole matter reaks of desparation. -

As a final thought, anyone interested picking up a copy of Sean Hannity's book that Abram praised like real Christians praise the Bible, they are widely available across the internet from $0.99 cents to $1.74 - I've posted links below for you shopping convenience.

First and foremost I am a conservative who has seen the light after working a number of years in the liberal television media. While working in television I didn't see it. I didn't see the liberal workings because I was a part of it.

After leaving to become a stay at home mom I see time after time how much my former counterparts spin everything. As a result I have returned to my original God given roots of conservativism. (My parents are so proud). I digress. To the last individual who stated only the rich are conservative...well let me educate you.

I personally have NEVER made over $35,000. My husband is making in the mid $50's...well looky here someone who is a conservative whomakes less than your liberal paycheck. Amazing to think that someone so poor could be a conservative.

Anyhow, I bought Sean's book this weekend and it again has stirred the fire in my belly. I absolutely love this book. Sean doesn't skirt around the issues with a song and dance of rhetoric. He shows CLEARLY and DISTINCTLY how the left left their minds in the gutter.

Their minds are fogged with the rantings of lunatics. They have seen clear proof of the difference of good and evil in the world and are still either oblivious to it or truly choose to turn a blind eye in hopes for recovering the White House. Sean you have truly outdone yourself. Keep up the great work! This is truly a work of love and dedication.

Did The McCain Campaign Create The Birther Monster

Share |

Is the McCain campaign responsible for the "birther" headache that has landed in the lap of many republicans in congress? You can see how reluctant they are to say flat out that President Obama is a U.S. citizen. Instead they hem and haw over the question so as not to freak out the far right conspiracy theorists in their party.

Did Sarah Plain and The Fox News Channel create this monster for the Republicans with their relentless claims of Obama being a Muslum, a radical, an socialists, attending a medrasa, palling around with a terrorists. Did Sean Hannity and the talking heads at Fox take it one "terrorist fist-jab" too far? - Survey says YES!

However, what was said and done during the 2008 presidential election will make their current rhetoric the equavalent of a bad hair day. I think that the likes of Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etal have failed to realize that the country has grown a brain and is no longer suseptable to such unsophistocated propaganda.

It's like an old safe-cracker getting out of prison after 40 years and thinking that he can just drop down through the ceiling at First National to crack a safe. Totally unaware that infa-red laser beams and motion sensors have taken the place of the bells, batteries, and wires that he was once a master of defeating. It's like watching my grandpa who built the two-story house that he lives in trying to navagate his way through the menu of an IPod.

I wonder if these well-paid antagonists are even aware that the monster they created has nothing to do with a birth certificate, but rather the inability of a biggoted few to accept the fact that a black man is really the President of The United States. You can click your heels until your blue in the face Dorothy, but you'll still be right where you are. In good old 2009 with one Barack Hussien Obama, a black man as the leader of the free world. To quote Bill O'Reilly when he was referring to George W. Bush:

"Weather you like it or not, he is the President of The United States and we all have an obligation to support him or shut up!"

I wish that Obama would sign an executive order suspending congressional health care until they can draft a bill worthy of his signature. These people certainly earn enough money to go out and purchase medical insurance like the rest of us. After all, it is the best "health care" in the world. The fact that they don't call it medical insurance speaks volumes because that's what it is and it has nothing to do with caring about anyones health. It's no different then auto insurance except instead of refering you to an auto mechanic or body shop, they refer you to a doctor or a specialists. Instead of meeting your deductable, they hit you with a Co-Pay everytime you see the doctor.

In the the past 7 years I have handed Kaiser-Permenente $31,752 in premiums and all that I have to show for it is 7 annual check-ups, repair of two broken fingers, and 18 stitches on my right ankle. I must be their definition of the optimun customer, but inspite of the payment to service ratio between us, I'm still baffled as to why my premiuns keep increasing. You don't think I'm getting ripped off, do you?

Allen Stanford Arrested By FBI After Indictment

Share |

R. Allen Stanford, under investigation in an alleged $8 billion fraud involving sales of certificates of deposit through his Antiguan bank, surrendered to federal agents and was taken into custody, his lawyer said.

Stanford, 59, surrendered yesterday to Federal Bureau of Investigation agents who were waiting outside his girlfriend’s house in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said

Dick DeGuerin, a lawyer for the Texas financier.


Stanford, a one time sponser for the Fox News Channels Sean Hannity and his radio program. At one point, Hannity was actually reading radio ads for Stanford and soliciting his own listeners to invest money into Stanford Coin & Bullion. It's still not known if any of more then 30,000 defrauded investors sustained losses via the Coin & Bullion entity.
"Federal agents in black SUVs surrounded his girlfriend’s house this afternoon, and just sat there," DeGuerin said in a phone interview. "I told him to walk out and introduce himself. So he did, and he asked them, ‘If you’ve got a warrant, take me into custody. If you don’t, I’m going to Houston.’ And they did, so they arrested him."
DeGuerin said he didn’t know when Stanford would be arraigned or whether he would be returned to Houston to face charges that haven’t yet been made public.
Stanford is scheduled to appear in federal court in Richmond today for indictment on fraud charges, the Associated Press reported, citing unidentified law enforcement officials.
Gilbert Lopez, chief accounting officer at Stanford Group Co., was arrested in Houston this morning and will be arraigned later today, said his lawyer, Dan Cogdell. New criminal charges also were filed against Laura Pendergest-Holt, 35, Stanford Group Co.’s chief investment officer, according to Cogdell.
Surrender Next Week
"She will surrender to a summons in Houston some day next week," he said yesterday in a phone interview.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued Stanford, Pendergest-Holt and a business associate in February, accusing them of running an $8 billion fraud through Antigua-based Stanford International Bank Ltd.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregg Costa, a lead prosecutor on the Stanford case, and FBI agent Vanessa Walther spent the afternoon meeting with a grand jury in the Houston federal courthouse. Grand jury deliberations are closed, and no details of the proceedings were made public.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy in Houston yesterday said two sealed indictments would be handed up by the grand jury and then closed her courtroom to receive them. Prosecutors and FBI agents involved in the Stanford investigation remained in the courtroom.
Grand Jury
Costa declined to say whether the grand jury was the one investigating Stanford and his businesses.
Ian McCaleb, a Justice Department spokesman, declined to comment on the grand jury proceedings and didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Stanford’s arrest and details on when he will be arraigned.
The Stanford Group Co. sold $8 billion of certificates of deposit in Stanford International Bank. The company’s network of financial advisers told clients their money would be placed primarily in easily sold financial instruments monitored by more than 20 analysts and audited by Antiguan regulators, according to the SEC lawsuit.
Instead, the "vast majority" of the portfolio was managed by Stanford and James M. Davis, the company’s chief financial officer, who invested much of it in private equity and real estate, according to the regulatory agency. Davis, who was named in the SEC suit, is cooperating with prosecutors, his lawyer, David Finn, said in April.
Stanford International Bank touted "improbable, if not impossible" returns, the SEC said then in its complaint.
Obstruction Charge
Pendergest-Holt was arrested by FBI agents on Feb 26 and was charged with obstructing the SEC’s probe by making misrepresentations to its representatives while under oath.
On May 14 she entered a plea of not guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Milloy in Houston. The judge set a trial date of July 20 before U.S. District Judge Vanessa D. Gilmore.
Stanford has said he did nothing wrong. "I’m not a damn swindler," he told Bloomberg News in April.
The Mexia, Texas, native, who was knighted by the government of Antigua and Barbuda in 2006, has publicly asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and refused to testify or provide documents to federal investigators.
Ranked by Forbes Magazine’s last year as the 605th richest person in the world, Stanford had an estimated net worth of at least $2 billion, according to a March 2008 filing in a Florida paternity case brought by a mother of two children.
U.S. District Judge David Godbey, who is presiding over the SEC case in Dallas, in February froze the assets of the Stanford companies and those belonging to Stanford, Davis and Pendergest- Holt.
Lawmakers’ Probe
Also yesterday, 16 members of Congress asked the SEC to release all documents in the Stanford probe. In a letter to SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro, they requested internal memos and information the agency received discussing potential wrongdoing by Stanford and his associates.
The lawmakers also called for an audit of all expenses incurred by Dallas lawyer Ralph Janvey in his role as the receiver appointed to recover funds for Stanford’s clients.
The SEC case is Securities and Exchange Commission v. Stanford International Bank, 09cv298, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

This just might be Sean Hannity’s looniest attack ever

Posted Jun 4, 2009, 12:30 AM PT by Jed Lewison • First broadcast: Jun 3, 2009
Sean Hannity once again proves that he’s the guy who put the ‘a’ in moron, this time by pushing the bizarre myth that earlier this week President Obama called the U.S. "a Muslim nation."

WATCH VIDEO


As you can see in the video, President Obama’s actual remarks bear no resemblance whatsoever to Hannity’s false claim.

The Peoples Republican Party At Odds With Itself

The Peoples Republican Party At Odds With Itself.
I have often been amazed at how easy it seems for Rush Limbaugh to be so oratorically hateful. The words of intolerance seem to just slide right off his tongue and make relative sense until you realize what he’s really saying. However, it’s really quite easy if you give it a try with some issue that’s stuck in your own ideological craw.

Take for instance Carrie Prejean, the cum burping whore who recently lost her MISS USA Crown for breach of contract. Her oratorical skills were obviously not up to par to satisfy The Donald for further support. Perhaps Prejean should have taken the Monica Lewinsky course of oral persuasion. That being said, a whole industry has spawned in his wake of conservative media celebrities, and many of them emulate him. Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity and Michelle Malkin and Bill O’Reilly are basically making their livings by following in his footsteps.

Back in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, conservative talk radio wasn’t nearly the agenda of paranoia, fear, and rage that it is today and there is no argument that the Bush/Cheney era are a directly responsible for that. While some conservatives viewpoints are a vital, indispensable part of a healthy body politic, all I seem to hear or see nowadays from that sector is rage and fear.

I drive across a dozen states and find it amazing how the further east I travel, the less talk radio choices there are besides conservative demonizing talk. I’m turned off by the exclusionary, negative-defining and purity-purging aspects of some of conservative talk radio. It’s basic agenda is to go after, or question the sincerity of those who disagree. This makes for exciting radio controversy, it gets ratings and pumps up callers — but it has also become a way that conservatives and those inclined in that direction now tend to treat those who see things differently than they do. In so many venues in our politics now — talk shows, cable talk shows, comments on weblogs, weblog posts, even on Twitter — there is a growing notion that it’s intelligent and effective to discredit and insult someone who dares to hold a different viewpoint, but the reality is this: The republican party is now at odd with itself and you have the fringe furthest to the right doing all of the talking.

Yet those elected in both houses of congress seem contect to have the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, and former VP Dick Cheney at the microphone. The problem is that all of these people and their views are also at odd with their core constituencies. This will only serve to drive the Republic Party deeper into the obyss.

O’Reilly – Hannity : The New Jihadist In The NeoCon Holy War

O’Reilly – Hannity : The New Jihadist In The NeoCon Holy War

By Chico Brisbane

If Bill O’Reilly doesn’t want to be blamed whenever some psycho goes off the deepend and brutaly murders a person that he has repeatedly demonized—as in the case of George Tiller, the doctor whom was shot dead in his church last Sunday by an anti-abortion zealot—then Mr. O’Reilly and all of the other wing-nuts over at Fox News might want to kick down their rhetoric a few thousand notches.

The Fox News Channel and particularly the O’Reilly Factor was the only place where I saw the relentless “Tiller The Killer” rhetoric, so it stands to reason that the shooter, Scott Roeder must have been fed the fuel via the same source. I see very little difference between Bill O’Reilly and one of these older islamic extreamist who pumps up a young jihadist until he straps on a bomb and goes and blows himself up in the middle of a crowded marketplace. O’Reilly kept up his rhetoric until his goal was accomplished and it’s no different then Hannity’s endless, and night after night “Obama’s a radical” rant that set some young white supremistsi off. Fortunately they where caught on the way the the democratic national convention before they could strike.

This type of rhetoric, which pumps up the ratings for O’Reilly and Hannity is no different then the sillyness that made the Jerry Springer show such a success. People will always love to tune in to watch the lowest forms of humanity turn against each other with little regard to consequence. It is in my opinion, the newest form of domestic terrorism.

Am I Wrong To Regret Voting For Obama?

When George W. Bush invaded Iraq, he committed the United States to the reckless task of disassembling a sovereign nation, and then reassembling it according to his wishes. In the process of mishandling the war, the country and congress became aware of just how misleading the president and his administration were in seeking to gain approval for the war. Now that Bush is out of office, internal DOJ memos are casting a far more sinister light on the former president and vice presidents insatiable appetite for war.

In an attempt to counter the recently declassified memos, the former vice president has embarked on a media tour to justify the torture detainees while other Bush sycophants echo the same flimsy rational. They claim that water boarding is not torture and even if it is, it was necessary to keep America safe from another terrorist attack. The bottom line is that where we go one as a nation, we go all as a nation, and if we facilitate our own Hanoi Hilton, we have no moral ground to stand on should American soldiers be subjected to torture in the future. NONE WHATSOEVER!

When George H.W. Bush was ramping up to the Gulf War, Jimmy Carter sent a letter to the United Nations Security Council urging them not to rush into war without exploring a negotiated solution. The first President Bush and other Republicans in Washington considered this treasonous, a former president trying to thwart a sitting one, lobbying foreign diplomats to oppose his own country on a war resolution.

In 2002, when George W. Bush was ramping up to his war against Saddam, Al Gore made a speech trying to slow down that war resolution, pointing out that pivoting from Osama to Saddam for no reason, initiating “pre-emptive” war, and blowing off our allies would undermine the war on terror.

Charles Krauthammer called Gore’s speech “a disgrace.” Michael Kelly, his fellow Washington Post columnist, called it “vile” and “contemptible.” Newt Gingrich himself said that the former vice president Gore asserting that President Bush was making America less safe was “well outside the mark of an appropriate debate.”

“I think the president should be doing what he thinks is best as commander in chief,” Gingrich said flatly.

Now, however, Gingrich backs Dick Cheney when he asserts that President Obama has made America less safe. What was once treasonous is now ones civic duty in the minds of many republicans that fear for the demise of their party. Asked by Bob Schieffer on Sunday how America could torture when it made a mockery of our ideals, Cheney blithely gave an answer that surely would have been labeled treasonous by Rush Limbaugh, if a Democratic ex-vice president had said it about a Republican president.

“Well, then you’d have to say that, in effect, we’re prepared to sacrifice American lives rather than run an intelligent interrogation program that would provide us the information we need to protect America,” Doomsday Dick said.

The man who never talked is now the man who won’t shut up. The man who’s “SO WHAT?” line was the usual response to public opinion is now whining at nausium about how President Obama is holding back documents that should be made public. Cheney, who had five deferments to get out of going to Vietnam, would rather follow an oxy-cotin addict like Rush Limbaugh who has had three divorces and who also avoided Vietnam, than a four-star general who spent his life serving his country.

“Bush 41 cares about decorum and protocol,” said an official. “I’m sure he doesn’t appreciate Cheney acting out. He is giving the whole party a black eye just as Jeb is out there trying to renew the party.”

Cheney unleashed, egged on by the combative Lynne and Liz, is pretty much the same as Cheney underground: He’s batty, and he thinks he was the president. Bush admired Cheney’s balls, but grew increasingly skeptical of him, the more he learned about foreign policy himself, and the more he got pulled into a diplomatic mode by Condi in the second term. There were even reports of W. doing a funny Cheney imitation and that it dawned on him that Cheney and Rummy represented a scofflaw, paranoid Nixon cell within his White House.

“Toward the end, 43 was just as confused as anybody about what makes Cheney tick,” said a Bush family loyalist.

Cheney’s numskull ideas — he still loves torture (dubbed “13th-century” stuff by Bob Woodward), Gitmo and scaring the bejesus out of Americans. He has no coherent foreign policy viewpoint. He still doesn’t fathom that his brutish invasion of Iraq unbalanced that part of the world, empowered Iran and was a force multiplier for Muslims who hate America. He left our ports unsecured, our food supply unsafe, the Taliban rising and Osama on the loose. No matter if or when terrorists attack here — and they’re on their own timetable, not a partisan red/blue state timetable — Cheney will be deemed the primary one who made America more vulnerable. W.’s dark surrogate father is trying to pull the G.O.P. into a black hole of zealotry, just as the sensible brother who lost his future to the scamp brother is trying to get his career back on track.

When Cheney was in the first Bush administration, he was odd man out. Poppy, James Baker, Brent Scow croft and Colin Powell corralled Cheney’s “Genghis Khan” side, as it was known, and his “rough streak.” Cheney didn’t care for Powell even then.But with W., “Back Seat” — Cheney’s Secret Service name in the Ford administration — clambered up front. Then he totaled the car. And no amount of yapping on TV is going to change that when history is written. On the other hand, I have become so frustrated by President Obama's soft stand on holding those responsible for these war crimes accountable, that I am on the verge of regretting my November 3, 2008 for one Barack Hussein Obama. Was Sean Hannity right all along?

Waterboarding Is Torture

Share |

Author Christopher Hitchens undergoes the controversial drowning technique, at the hands of men who once trained American soldiers to resist—not inflict—it.

As you will see in the video below, the first drop of water hits his face at 3:15 on the clock and a mere 17 seconds later, he gave the predetermined signal that he was drowning. I would like to see every public official who says that this is not torture to under go the cruel process 138 time for 10 to 20 minutes per session as was done to Kahlid Shahk Mohommad. I wonder what "vital intel" we could extract from them.

Once upon a time, waterboarding was something that Americans were being trained to resist, not to inflict. It was endured, by those members of the Special Forces who underwent the advanced form of training known as sere (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape). In these harsh exercises, brave men and women were introduced to the sorts of barbarism that American Soldiers might find at the hands of a lawless foe who shows a total disregarded the Geneva Conventions. This is exactly what and where 8 years of the Bush – Cheney regime has lead our country.

After reading the piece in Vanity Fair “Believe Me, It’s Torture,” by Christopher Hitchens, I’ve had serious reservations about the torture tactic and I call it that because that it what it is, TORTURE! -- Hitchens submitted himself to a brutal waterboarding session in an effort to understand the human cost of America’s use of harsh tactics at Guantánamo and elsewhere. He hesitantly admits that he didn’t last very long and pointed out that unlike actual detainees, he had the luxery of ending the session immediately with a predetermined singal. A signal that Hitchens used only seconds into the torture session that he underwent. This is substantiated by the photo above that shows a couple of one gallon jugs of water on the floor. One is still full and the other is missing less than a quarter of it’s contence. The megor amount of water on Hitchens light blue shirt seem to substantiate his words and the photograph itself.

Hitchens goes on to explain that his particular handlers had only trained American G.I.’s how to resist the torture tactic and had never inflicted it on an actual dteainee. Yet these handlers boasted about how it was their understanding that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the so-called “Mastermind” behind the September 11, attack lasted only two minutes before he cracked. However, Hitchens adds a (By the way, this story is not confirmed) after that claim. You’re God Damn right it’s not confirmed because it’s not true. If he cracked after 2 minutes, why in the fuck would Khalid Sheikh Mohammed need to be waterboarded 183 more times? – While The Fox News Channels Sean Hannity was bullied into undergoing waterboarding by guest Charles Grodin, it’s safe to say that he doesn’t have the balls to actually go through with it.
