Someone should really call Hannity out on his close relationship w.Neo-Nazi, Hal Turner

Someone should really be call Hannity out on his relationship with Neo-Nazi Hal Turner.

Well I admit, I was watching a part of Hannity and Colmes, and they had on this crzy Black Panther guy, but he brought up something about Hannity's connection to a neo nazi. So, I looked it up and found this:

During an August 1998 episode of the show, Turner reminded Hannity that were it not for the graciousness of the white man, "black people would still be swinging on trees in Africa," according to Daryle Jenkins, co-founder of the New Jersey-based antiracism group One People's Project. Instead of rebuking Turner or cutting him off, Hannity continued to welcome his calls. On December 10 of the following year, Turner called Hannity's show to announce his campaign to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives from New Jersey, and to attack his presumptive opponent, Democratic Representative Robert Menendez, as a "left-wing nut."

By this time, according to Jenkins, Turner and Hannity had bonded off-air. In 1998 Hannity received an anonymous e-mail linking to an AOL discussion board on which Turner had allegedly confessed to a cocaine problem and alluded to past homosexual trysts. Turner (or someone claiming to be Turner) wrote in an August 4, 1998, Google discussion forum that Hannity called him to clear the air: "Just last week, Sean phoned me at home from his job at FOX News to continue a conversation we'd begun earlier while he was at WABC," Turner wrote. "Sean advised that one of you sensitive souls sent him an e-mail about 'revelations I had made' here on the internet. He told me it was obviously and attempt to 'poison the water.' " Turner continued, "I told him that I've done things I'm not proud of, and had dark times in my life; and those experiences helped shape the way I live today...the right way. He laughed and commented that he knew the feeling." Turner added that such chats with Hannity were "not unusual," often occurring while Hannity held his calls during commercial breaks.

Jenkins told me that while he and a group of antiracism activists demonstrated against a July 17, 2003, National Alliance meeting in Elmwood Park, New Jersey, which Turner attended, he encountered Turner and asked him about his relationship with Hannity. Turner claimed that he and Hannity would talk by phone and even recounted that Hannity had once invited him and his son on to the set of Hannity and Colmes. "In my view," says Jenkins, "I think Hannity has helped Turner out quite a bit. I'm willing to bet most of the conversations they had consisted of them talking shop."

Since Hannity seems to take such "pride" in breaking the story about Wright and his association with someone who hates people, I think it should be known to people, that the person who keeps talking about this issue is someone involved and who once helped a neo-nazi, since associations mean so much to him.

2. i saw that tonight.
It was pretty obvious Hannity was trying to out talk loudly over the guy when he started mentioning Hal Turner. I seriously wish the DNC could push this.

4. This entire attempt to discredit a man based upon the sins of others is pure racism.
I'm so glad Hannity's true nature has now been uncovered. Now it's time to spank some Hannity ass.

:spank:
