Hannity and O'Reilly are just two of Fox "News" Channel's Bull Connors. Dawson Leery Jan 2013 #6
And Sean Hannity is a great unifier who is not in any way partisan Bjorn Against Jan 2013 #7

I keep hearing that "most divisive ever" garbage from the rightwing.

So the right can push secession and call the president a muslim, atheist-communist, foreign-born nazi birth certificate forger who stages school shootings, hates America and wants to be dictator...

...but Obama's the one being divisive? LOL

And let's not forget this red states vs. blue states stuff started under Bush, and the fact that we have a polarized culture can be blamed in large part on the FOX machine's efforts over the last 10-15 years to tell Republicans that Democrats don't merely disagree with you, but are, in fact, your inhuman enemies who want to destroy your values.

Yet, they cry out about divisiveness. The hypocrisy is stunning.

You can feel that just beneath the surface, they're struggling to not scream, to not yell, to not curse the nimcompoops who re-elected Obama, and to not stomp their feet in anger. But "noblesse oblige," and they need to maintain some semblance of journalistic impartiality.

His great revelation today was MSNBC is a wing of the Democrats. I a trying to figure out what wing he is working. He appears to talk like substance abusers, keep repeating yourself, maybe after he rants on for 30 minutes maybe his crap will sound better. No wonder the gun nuts are crazy, crap runs round and round in their brains and does not have any where to go.

when Ari Fleisher started in with that same bulls**t this afternoon on CNN. I had switched to CNN because they seemed to be following the actual parade a little closer than MSNBC was, but when he said his piece all I could yell was "F**k You Ari." The worst part is no one challenged him. It was back to MSNBC at that point.
