2. What a cheap bastard
That must have cost him about $5-8K. Not much for a man of his means. He probably spends that much on hair styling products in a single year.

10. I was thinking $5K, but then I realized...
...he probably strong-armed a sponsor into donating it, so I'd be willing to bet it cost him NOTHING.

29. Maybe that SCREAMING that Shep Smith did woke him up...
I'll give him a couple of points for the water but a couple of days ago he was doing his BEST to try and poo-poo the notion that Bush had sat on his ass instead of taking quick action.

Like I said maybe Shep Smith and Geraldo woke him up to the real suffering going on....

7. A dime a piece in bulk
What's that, about a thousand bucks? From a man who is well-paid to shill at Fox, who has had at least two best-selling books of political napalm?

Well, I guess it's better than nothing.

56. YES. I wish folks would stop
asking, "why isn't politician A doing more"?

Most are Christians (as I guess Hannity claims also) and to advertise any donations they give would go against Christ's teaching.

with every fiber of my being I am glad he did this. I can hate him but still be glad for the people he is helping for whatever reason he is doing it.

I'm not going to slam anyone for donating. If that's what he thinks he can afford, who am I to question that.

Yes, Sean Hannity is hate-monger. But let's take the high road and tell the freeper that he did a good deed.

What a fucking guy...:eyes:

No doubt, he feels inclined to display his generous blessing on the poor he so despises. Which wouldn't be so embarrassing, I suppose, if he wasn't such a cheap fuckwit.

16. I am not going to criticize anyone who does anything to help.
I don't care what their motives are if these people get the help they need. And whining that "it's not enough! Why didn't he send MORE!" is pretty damn stupid.

"isn't enough." It's stupid to complain when people actually do something to help, and I am not going to.

Al Gore chartered a plane to fly 140 people out of NO...why didn't he take 160...200?

Look, the people in NO need help right now. And I will not criticize anyone who is willing to help, even in the smallest way. And I don't care about their motives so long as those people get help. THAT is what I care about.

33. $30 is a bit different from 10,000 bottles of water
Edited on Mon Sep-05-05 02:09 PM by NYC Liberal
and you know that.

If Al Gore or Kerry or whoever had donated 10,000 bottles of water, I would bet practically nobody here would be complaining about it being "too little."

48. I would
As I said, buying 10,000 bottles of water in bulk costs about $1500. Now, you say that's different from $30 for Bill Gates, but the logic is not different.

I'm glad he did it too, but he is a cheap fuck.

a little too much,IMHO. Yes,I am glad he donated the water,but I think it's for show. If he had any real compassion he wouldn't be trashing us on TV and radio on a daily basis.

of water. Hannity is cheap.

Way to go DU. He did other things, too. He went to Iraq, he went to Iran.

Way to go...make fun of him, just like Hannity.

Way to go at a Democratic site.

Who donates more water? Scarborough from over at MSNBC donated 1,000 bottles of water.

19. Every fucking repuke who's done anything to "help" has had camera people
and reporters being paid to follow them around... Frist is the worst one of all, grabbing camermen while he pretended to "observe" patients in the airport.

contrast that with President Gore who flew 3 planes in and purposely AVOIDED reporters.. and Sean penn who went in on his own.. as well as John Travolta... no pics of those people... all the cameramen are bought and paid for by the repukes who are more concerned about playing politics than they are actually helping..

It's the manner in which Hannity chose to present this information on his own web site.

That's IT.

It wasn't to RIDICULE Hannity, it wasn't to PROMOTE Hannity...

27. It's good to donate. Sleazy to publicize one's donation.
You give because it's the right thing to do -- then shut up about it. Just doing the right thing should be reward enough. Advertising your good deeds is just tacky.

28. There aren't any pictures of him on his site
Just pictures of the water bottles to prove he did it.

And if he hadn't posted them, people would be yelling for "proof."

These people need help, and there's no reason to criticize anyone who's willing to give them that, no matter how much or how little. And who cares what his motives are? As long as people get help, that's what matters.

37. I would love to know why you are such a big defender of Sean
Insanity? After all the hate and poison spewing bile coming out of his mouth about us Liberals, I'm sorry. 10,000 bottles of damn water could never make up for it. Funny thing is,how many of those awful "Liberals" he hates so much will drink his water? Maybe he asked someone to get their political party before they received any. :sarcasm:

42. Sheesh, I am not "defending" anyone
I am saying it's dumb to criticize ANYONE for giving ANYTHING right now. Maybe he could have given more, OK..but why are you criticizing someone for giving something? That's what I'd like to know.

It doesn't "make up" for anything he said. This has nothing to do with what he's said before, and I NEVER said that it did. All I said was that he gave people in NOLA something they desperately need right now. All I care about is that they get the food and water they NEED.

I don't give a flying fuck who gives it or why. And I am sure the people who are DYING won't care where their clean water comes from either.

I want those people to get everything they need and am glad for the contributions,big or small. I just get acid reflux when it comes to repukes. Because of them and their bias and hatred,look at the shape our country is in today.They always seem to have to have a camera in front of them for everything they do. It's sickening.

30. That's a good start, but...
I'm sure that with all of your millions of dollars you can afford more than 10,000 bottles of water. Even with transportation, that's what, like $15,000 tops? Why not send 1.5 million dollars worth of food and water, Sean? Surely you have more than 10 million in the bank. Why can't you spare even 25% of your wealth to help those in need, Sean? Huh? It's a nice gesture, but when you're as rich as he is, that's all it is, a gesture.

40. Even the bullies are feeling the pressure
In the past, he laughed at the torture, rape and murder of human beings, went ballistic if anyone mentioned dead and maimed Iraqi citizens as a result of a lying administration. He never showed one iota of compassion for a single Iraq mother or child, or father.

He is only doing this to try to save face ~ he and his vicious administration have been publicly shamed in front of the whole world. He's getting scared ~ the Philistines are at the gates and their hate-mongering is falling on more and more disgusted, deaf ears as they witness what Republican policies have done to this country.

However, if his few bottles of water, way late for many dead Americans who he and his cohorts spent the last week trashing because they were too stupid and lazy to leave, then that's a good thing, but it will never, ever get him off the hook. He needs to come out and apoligize for his viciousness towards those of us who struggled so hard to prevent this kind of economic tragedy ~ while he and his stupid audience jeered and leered.

It will take a lot more than that for him to get forgiveness.

I'm glad Hannity's heart isn't completely made out of ice.
