Sean Hannity pouts over Cuomo’s ‘not welcome in New York’ remarks, vows to leave

[Playinghardball]

Fox News host Sean Hannity said on Tuesday that he is leaving his native New York state because he is so offended and hurt by statements by New York’s Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Conservative newspaper The Washington Times reported that Hannity made the announcement on his radio show.

The right-leaning talker was responding to statements made last week by Cuomo to New York Public Broadcasting in which he said that New Yorkers by and large do not adhere to far-right ideologies.

Cuomo told Capital Pressroom’s Susan Arbetter that “extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay” aren’t welcome in his state.

“That’s not who New Yorkers are,” said Cuomo.

The remarks have touched off a firestorm of controversy on the right, but Hannity is the first major pundit to declare that he now intends to flee Cuomo’s New York.

4. I'm afraid I think those remarks were genuinely outrageous.

Can you imagine the response to a right-winger making equivalent statements?

7. the entire conservative movement establishment has been aggressively pushing an even more extreme

message for at least the last 20 years - But not that non-rightwing extremist don't belong in New York but that even center-right somewhat moderately conservative centrist are completely un-American. Since Gingrich first appeared on the national scene in in the early 90's that has been a core feature of their message - non-rightwing extremist have absolutely no part of and no claim on the American tradition in any way, shape of form. Suggesting Hannity's crazed ravings are un-New Yorker is a very mild claim in comparison.
