Hannity's LAME attempt to hit back at Jon Stewart

http://www.newshounds.us/hannity_s_bizarre_response_to_jon_stewart_over_bundy_ranch_conflict_04222014


What Hannity never played were clips of his deliberately provocative comments, in which he all but outright suggested that Bundy and his militia-type supporters start an armed conflict with the government.

Laughably, Hannity complained The Daily Show “just can’t give their viewers the facts. They have to spin the story.” Even more hiliariously, Hannity accused Stewart of being “kind of obsessed with this program” and said, “Remember he was begging me to stay in New York?”

But while Hannity seems to think we should disregard what he said eight years ago – whether he has renounced his comments or not – he also seems to think we should act as though the explicitly renounced mistakes of others happened just yesterday. Even when they are decades old.

Hannity is an idiot and a liar/college drop out. Hannity also can not deal with legitimate criticism and so Hannity is having a hissyfit http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sean-hannity-tears-into-jon-stewart-obama-apologist

Sean Hannity is a little miffed that Jon Stewart mocked him for supporting Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his supporters.

The Fox News host played back Stewart's segment that sought to portray him as "hypocritical" on the Bundy Ranch standoff on his show Tuesday night, saying the comedian was "kind of obsessed" with his show.

Hannity is an idiot to get into a fight with Stewart. Hannity is a college drop out who is not very bright and he is going to get into a fight with someone who has 30 IQ points on him. O'Reilly tried this tactic and failed. This will be fun to watch

In a battle of wits, Hannity is so clearly ill-prepared and unarmed.

Hannity was a sad puppy last night. Hannity claimed not to know about Bundy's positions but there are repeated incidents in the interviews of Bundy by Hannity that the issue of sovereign citizenship came up. The positions and history of the sovereign citizen movement are well documented and Hannity had to know about these views.

Hannity sole comment about Jon Stewart was that Jon was too busy yucking it up to take a position against government overreach. It was really sad.
