YEAH! What Media Matters said: So where is Sean Hannity's flag lapel pin?
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 07:00 PM by wndycty
I know after yesterday's uproar more than a few DUers STAND WITH SEAN HANNITY!

So where is Sean Hannity's flag lapel pin?

Summary: Discussing an interview in which Sen. Barack Obama said he had stopped wearing a flag pin on his lapel during the lead-up to the Iraq war, Sean Hannity said on his radio show: "hy do we wear pins? Because our country was under attack." He continued: "And to politicize once again the war to this extent. Well, who cares about the war? Are you proud of your country?" Yet while criticizing Obama for not wearing a flag pin, Hannity himself has not worn an American flag lapel pin on a number of recent occasions.

Discussing a recent interview with a reporter in Iowa in which Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) said that he had stopped wearing an American flag pin on his lapel during the lead-up to the Iraq war, Fox News host Sean Hannity said on the October 4 broadcast of his radio show: "hy do we wear pins? Because our country was under attack." He continued: "And to politicize once again the war to this extent. Well, who cares about the war? Are you proud of your country? Do you believe in America? Do you believe that America has been, continues to be the greatest force for good in this world?" Hannity later stated: "I think it's, you know, the greatest gift God gave us and continues to be a force for good." Yet while criticizing Obama for not wearing a flag pin, Hannity himself has not worn an American flag lapel pin on a number of recent occasions.

Hannity's quote, "hy do we wear pins? Because our country was under attack," was included in a number of reports on Obama's decision not to wear a flag pin -- including in the October 4 edition of ABC's World News with Charles Gibson and the October 5 edition of ABC's Good Morning America.

4. haha!!
My ultra-silly mom (who was a mother at age 19) used to say something funny whenever one of us kids was looking for something... Mom! Where's my brush?!? "If it was up your butt you'd know."

I know... off topic... but you cracked me up and it reminded me of this... so sue me:)
