(4,113 posts)Then Keith Olberman challenged him to undergo some waterboarding. Offered him a chunk of money for every second he can take the waterboarding. It shut Hannity up instantly. Typical behavior from a chickenshit bully like Hannity.

(14,732 posts)Hannity is absolutely Roger Ailes' BFF. Not to mention that he, along with fellow Fux blowhard O'Reilly are the real money=makers for Fux. Short of Hannity peeing on Ailes' desk at high noon on camera there's no way in hell they'll ever drop him.

(18,624 posts)A radio or TV host like Hannity is going to spew such hatred toward a specific individual, citing them as a danger to "freedom" and the American way, that some weak minded right wing nut is gonna take it into his own hands.
If that kook doesn't blow his own brains out, he may tell how Sean Hannity convinced him that it was his patriotic duty to do so. The multiple lawsuits by surviving family members that follow may change the tone of talk radio and Fox hate shows forever.
Not for the sake of decency and conscience mind you, but for economic survival, much like the tobacco companies.

(37,158 posts)Police found right-wing political books, brass knuckles, empty shotgun shell boxes and a handgun in the Powell home of a man who said he attacked a church in order to kill liberals "who are ruining the country," court records show.
***
Adkisson targeted the church, Still wrote in the document obtained by WBIR-TV, Channel 10, "because of its liberal teachings and his belief that all liberals should be killed because they were ruining the country, and that he felt that the Democrats had tied his country's hands in the war on terror and they had ruined every institution in America with the aid of media outlets." Adkisson told Still that "he could not get to the leaders of the liberal movement that he would then target those that had voted them in to office."
Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.
When California Highway Patrol officers stopped him on an interstate in Oakland for driving erratically, Byron Williams, wearing body armor, fired at police with a 9mm handgun, a shotgun and a .308-caliber rifle with armor-piercing bullets, Oakland police say. Shot and captured after injuring two officers, Williams, on parole for bank robbery, told investigators that he wanted "to start a revolution" by "killing people of importance at the Tides Foundation and the ACLU," according to a police affidavit. His mother, Janice, told the San Francisco Chronicle that her son had been watching television news and was upset by "the way Congress was railroading through all these left-wing agenda items."
But what television news show could have directed the troubled man's ire toward the obscure Tides Foundation, which sounds as if it's dedicated to oceanography, or perhaps laundry detergent, but which is in fact a nonprofit that claims to support "sustainability, better education, solutions to the AIDS epidemic and human rights"?

A week after the incident, the mystery was solved. "Tides was one of the hardest things that we ever tried to explain, and everyone told us that we couldn't," Fox News host Glenn Beck told his radio listeners on Monday. "The reason why the blackboard" -- the prop Beck uses on his TV show to trace conspiracies -- "really became what the blackboard is, is because I was trying to explain Tides and how all of this worked." Beck accuses Tides of seeking to seize power and destroy capitalism, and he suggests that a full range of his enemies on the left all have "ties to the Tides Center." On Monday, he savored the fact that "no one knew what Tides was until the blackboard."

(6,785 posts)Roeder was arrested within three hours of the shooting and charged with first-degree murder and related crimes two days later. In November 2009, Roeder publicly confessed to the killing, telling the Associated Press that he had shot Tiller because "preborn children's lives were in imminent danger." Roeder was found guilty of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault on January 29, 2010, and sentenced on April 1, 2010, to life imprisonment without any chance for parole for 50 years.

(10 posts)Most of what I hear coming from the Fox's News is just to incite their listeners. To pin people against people. To make the government the enemy, anything that could be used for their personal gain to create discourse. The main issue behind this for now is because Obama is President. Cause as much trouble as you can.People are getting hurt due to this behavior. The rise in hate groups. Who are attacking our citizens and killing them. Hannity and Limbaugh and O' Riley gets paid very well to keep this discourse alive.
This behavior is no longer the freedom of speech they like to promote. When they can stoke the fire upon other radical people. So these people will act upon their feelings. all this is over so these men can gain political points for the Republican party.
Something that they can use to batter the government and this President.
This is a crime being indirectly committed against every citizens in this country and no one is safe due to this vitriol. They are promoting violence.
