[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Shorter Sean: "If Obama's against getting measles, then I'm gonna be for it!"

1. PLEASE, Mr. President - make a statement on how essential AIR is, and how it important

it is that we all make sure we breathe regularly!

[George II]

28. I'll bet Obama is a staunch advocate for eating and nourishment. For the good of the country!

[IDemo]

2. Obama should simply rely on reverse psychology

-Support anti-vaxxers
-Endorse the Keystone pipeline
-Get his picture taken while reading Ayn Rand

[Vattel]

16. I think he tried that already in 2008 when he was less pro-vax.

In 2008 he said that the science concerning vaccines and autism was "inconclusive." My guess, he was bullshitting a little to get votes from anti-vaxxers.

[tularetom]

27. On the other hand, he's still talking up the TPP

And I don't sense any rush of republicans opposing it simply because Obama seems to favor it.

[underpants]

3. Hannity is on a serious downhill roll recently

Cliven Bundy
Witness 40
No-go zones
Mediaite did a survey at Fox News and hands down Hannity considered a joke

[cordelia]

6. Good points. n/t

[randome]

10. Now is the time for Jon Stewart to keep up the pressure.

You know, like usual, by quoting Hannity when he says something stupid.
[hr][font color="blue"][center]Precision and concision. That's the game.[/center][/font][hr]

[underpants]

12. Add - Lindsay Lohan is suing him

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

43. The Daily Show is only half an hour long

It's just not long enough to replay all of Hannity's stupidity

[Skittles]

26. he is a republican whore

they are all bad jokes

[lunasun]

4. Yeah Thanks Obama now there is an outbreak of measles

Your ebola plan did not work but you are still trying Thanks Obama !

[11 Bravo]

5. Sean, the President also thinks you shouldn't stick your dick in a wood-chipper, so ...

just follow your conscience.

[SamKnause]

7. I like the way your mind works.

I am so sick of these evil lunatics and their followers.

[adieu]

34. Well that's not going to work

his dick isn't long enough to get past the 1/2" deep rim.

[Johonny]

8. Insert Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks Anti Vaxxers are a left wing problem...

seriously I'm going to keep shamming the man until he apologizes for that statement.

[bobclark86]

25. I know plenty of left-wing people who are anti-vaxxers.

They all belong to the GMO-free, holistic medicine, yoga-worshiping crowd (not all anti-GMO and holistic medicine types are left-wing anti-vax types, but all left-wing anti-vax types are anti-GMO and holistic medicine types).

The rest of anti-vaxxers I know are Amish. Literally.

[Rex]

9. Typical bullshitstorm Hannity, "I got my kids vaccinated HOWEVER"

Shithead just loves to hate on Obama! Even at the cost of telling moron viewers to let their children die from disease. Hell of a choice; possibly die or get vaccinated...gee which one to pick...

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

22. I missed your post when [posting mine. but yeah pretty much. nt

[salin]

11. Are there really some people who trust this troll over the President and the CDC?

As much as I disliked Pres. W. , were this exact situation occurring while he was in office, and he made a similar speech as President Obama - I wouldn't trash the notion of vaccinations based on the source of the speech.

What a moron.

[ThoughtCriminal]

13. If an asteroid was heading towards Earth

and President Obama announced a plan to deflect it, Hannity and his allies would be out in front with the "Pro-Crater" faction.

[Takket]

14. maybe we can talk him into skydiving...

and announce Obama is "pro-ripcord" 5 seconds after he leaves the plane.

[sarge43]

15. Good start

However, President Obama first should make a statement that only government certified riggers should continue to pack chutes.

[SunSeeker]

17. Hannity is quite the appropriate figurehead for the anti-vax idiocy. nt

[zappaman]

18. Congrats DU anti-vaxxers!

You got Sean on your side!
And don't forget you got Glenn Beck as well.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

31. Do we have anyone here generally opposed to vaccinations?

[yuiyoshida]

19. Well of course he would...He disagrees most of the time...

I wonder if the President stated the law of Gravity, if Hannity would disagree and then go out to try to prove him wrong.

Probably not, he never did do that water boarding thing...

[DearAbby]

20. My Husband has stage 4 cancer

we were trusting the "Herd Immunity" as he is going through chemo therapy. He has had the measles as a child, but with his immune system being chemically disrupted, could he catch this disease in his weakened state? This is the discussion I will be having with his Doctor today. I want to be reassured. Sell that fear, Sean.

[KingCharlemagne]

35. OT somewhat, but felicitations and wishes for full remission from the KC household - nt

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

21. In rhetoric only. The problem with this blow dried douche is that even as incredibly stupid as he is

(according to people who know him). He only says this kinda shit so the knuckle draggers can get their 2 minutes of hate on. I bet you in reality he'd never let his kids or anyone close to him go without vaccinations. Which makes it even more disgusting because he's putting people in danger just to score points with the dumbest of the dumb.

[tularetom]

30. That's not the vibe I get from him, I think he really IS that dumb

I agree that most of the wing nut blowholes are just hand out a line of bullshit to rile up the hicks, and they know it's all a crock.

Glenn Beck and Limbaugh are definitely in that camp, and probably others as well. Former Top 40 DJ's who stumbled on to a way to separate suckers from their money and got rich doing it. Hannity on the other hand strikes me as a true believer and a supremely ignorant humanoid who can be easily manipulated by those who want to push the right wing platform.

[bhikkhu]

23. A proven misanthrope, he'd rather see epidemics and death among the poor

play it for ratings and blame it on Obama.

[staggerleem]

24. My wife teaches at a small, progressive, private school ...

... which has BOTH (a) unvaccinated students, and (b) students with immune deficiencies, who CANNOT be vaccinated.

Talk about a rock and a hard place! The administrator is probably going to have to deliver an ultimatum to the parents of the unvaccinated kids, as they pose a threat to the immuno-deficient ones.

Personally, I think I'd PREFER that Hannity not vaccinate HIS kids! Anything that might result in a world with fewer Hannitys in it has my FULL support!

[jwirr]

29. That sentence goes a long way in explaining Hannity's ignorance. It is not about what is right or

wrong but hating President Obama.

[KamaAina]

32. Does he trust Boner? Or Lindsey Graham?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026175790

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026175819

Or Yertle? Or Booby Jindal?

[mooseman]

33. Hannity is an idiot

I'm sure if a white guy told him to get the vaccinations, that would be fine with him. Why does anybody pay attention to this fool?

[William769]

36. Because a fool & their money are soon parted.

Welcome to DU.

[cyberswede]

38. Welcome to DU

Hannity is an ass.

[Yorktown]

37. Don't read too much in it, Hannity is just playing to his audience

And nobody ever accused Hannity of being overly subtle to do that.

[sakabatou]

39. Does he seriously want to contract the disease?

[supercats]

40. Hannity And The Rest Of His Ilk....

Can just go FUCK themselves!!! Intentionally and seriously hurting the public, just to play political games...These guys need to be behind bars, forever!!!

[samsingh]

41. so hannity loves his politics more than his own kids

[BlueJazz]

42. Hannity always has been just a male Sara Palin. The poor guy is just not that bright.

[Vinca]

44. Hey, Sean. Obama is for breathing.

[countmyvote4real]

45. Hannitty is an idiot.

If it wasn't clear enough before, it should be clear enough now unless it is in the perception of fellow idiots. What are we supposed to do with this ilk?
