Hannity thus speaketh about fracking. This guy, like Trump, lives in his own reality.

Partial narrative from his radio show - talking to guest Austan Goolsbee ( American economist and the Robert P. Gwinn Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School also former member of Obama's cabinet" --

GOOLSBEE: But we've got a lot of places where it (fracking) is poisoning their groundwater --

HANNITY: No. There's not one instance where fracking has poisoned the groundwater. Not one. Not a single -- no.

GOOLSBEE: Yes there is. What are you talking about?

HANNITY: Tell me where it is. Where is it?

GOOLSBEE: In Pennsylvania.

HANNITY: No.

GOOLSBEE: You had those people, lit a glass of water on fire.

HANNITY: OK. I am telling you there's not a single documented case where the drinking water has been impacted.

1. Hannity denies reality? Up next, water still wet and Generalismo Franco still dead!

The next time Hannity has a truthful statement pass his lips will be the first since he sold his soul for a key role in Trump TV (to be announced after Thanksgiving and go live an Inauguration Day 2017)....

3. How embarrassing - to be so clueless

as to not recognize that real people can know that you're lying. How do these people live with themselves? Never mind, it's a rhetorical question.

5. I guess the waterboarding experience he participated in really messed up his mind.

Oh wait, he chickened out on that. His disconnect from reality is natural. Scary that people listen to him.

6. If fracking is so awesome, then why have NONE of the energy company executives allowed it to happen

within 40 miles of their homes?

If something was so great, I'd want to be near it!

7. The people in upstate PA are torn about this

My dad had a good friend named Matt who bought a small house in upstate Pennsylvania so he could go hunting, and then maybe retire there. Spent years working on the house himself to make it habitable.

On one hand, he says his neighbors were poor, and the economic situation in a lot of these communities is dire. All of a sudden, people are offering them good money - as Matt says, you started seeing new tractors, repairs to outbuildings like barns - all visible signs of hope.

On the other hand, contrary to what that lying rat says, suddenly everyone had to start PURCHASING their drinking water in containers, and the roads are ruined and not repaired. Access to Matt's house was cut off by fracking crews that took out the main road (he could access it from another direction many miles off the direct route). And his bucolic retirement dream was essentially shattered.

Matt, being an uneducated but essentially very smart man, was able to see fracking for the evil that it is and yet still understand why his neighbors accepted it.

8. No, there's not a single case

there are a multitude of them.
