LOL Hannity Got Dressed Down By Karl Rove and Tommy Franks

[Solomon]

:rofl:

I'm sorry DU. I sincerely apologize but I'm enjoying my schadenfreud or whatever you call it. I made it a point to listen to and watch Hannity after winning the election because it's entertainment to me.

Hannity has been on this ridiculous rant all day on his radio show about starting the "conservative underground." He's just not gonna accept Obama as president. He's gonna start a movement, fight back, etc.

Tonight on his tv show, Karl Rove of all people, had to chastize him about how this is America, and the people have spoken, "You have to hope the president does well". He wasn't buying into Hannity's attempt to enlist him in his new confederacy. Rove might be evil, but he ain't stupid, asshole that he is.

Later he had General Tommy Franks on, only to get frustrated again as Franks proceeded to lecture him about how quickly the loyalty of the military goes to the president elected by the American people. Hannity almost cried when Franks told him in no uncertain terms that he has no doubts about Obama. You'd think Sean learned his lesson from Rove, but Franks had to tell him again, "this is America, the people have selected the next commander-in-chief." LOL

Hannity's little confederacy is having a hard time getting off the ground. When is this idiot going to realize that he and his little racist confederates don't represent America anymore? He's way over the line in my opinion, and his own guests are trying to tell him, but he's too stupid to hear it. I must say, watching him isolate himself like he's doing is extremely satisfying.

1. I bet Hal Turner is on board!

[tsuki]

32. And Andy Martin. nt

[musette_sf]

2. i would call it a confederacy of dunces

but that would be an insult to Ignatius Reilly.

[pageman551]

8. Anyone have a video link of this?

Would love to see it.

Oh, and musette, props for the confederacy of dunces reference, my favorite book. Do you think Hannity's going to start signing his blogs as "Lance, your besieged working boy?"

[AzNick]

19. +1

[Solomon]

10. I loved that book. LOL

[BrklynLiberal]

15. Wonderful book..and such a sad story about the author.

He died before he could find a publisher. His mother shopped it around after he died, and finally had it published.

[musette_sf]

37. i guess we can all say

that we are proud members of the Crusade for Moorish Dignity :-)

[BrklynLiberal]

14. Exactly....more like a confederacy of the slack-jawed, mouth-beathing dimwit inciters..

It would be hannity, o'LIElly and limpballs. I hope all three of them get so crazy about this that their heads explode all over the interior of their studios...

[myrna minx]

31. Hey.

;-)

[musette_sf]

39. ah, yes, the musky minx

whose presence sends Fortuna's wheel spinning downward....

[opihimoimoi]

3. Clearly he is a BULLY...he is a BULLY HATEOHOLIC...he loves/lives to HATE

Fuck him...he is an ASSHOLE BULLY...Same O for O Really

[Engineer4Obama]

4. What does it say about you if...

Karl Rove is telling you that you are too partisan. Hannity you might wanna think about this for a second. This is coming from the man who had no problem smearing Two Vietnam vets with ridiculous slander.

[benddem]

5. Inshannity is sick

and his stupidity is giving racists in this country the idea they can get away with anything.

[Lint Head]

6. The dumpy little turd needs to be flushed for good.

:dem:

[edbermac]

7. Well they were loyal to a guy AWOL from the Texas Air National Guard.

Right Sean?

[calmblueocean]

9. This was great. I got to hear all about Hannity without suffering through listening to him!

I'll really be interested to see how Hannity's "conservative underground" goes in the future. These things have a way of turning into militias.

IF you get a chance, you should check out Hannity's forums. Some liberals have signed up to gently tweak them about their defeat and the responses are quite humorous.

[Solomon]

11. Somebody was talking about this today. I've never looked

at his forum. I'm scared to.

[mreilly]

12. Here's what this asshole doesn't understand

In 2000 and 2004 we had legitimate grievances against the manner in which Bush was elected. Selected, rather, in 2000. In 2004 there were some clearly substantiated issues in Ohio and all around the country of voter intimidation and GOP thuggery. For us to proclaim for the past eight years that Bush was NOT a legitimate President was valid. But we were told to "Get over it" and stop being unpatriotic, etc.

So in 2008, along comes Barack Obama who handily wins the Presidency by a landslide - 200 or so electoral votes over McCain. NOBODY can dispute the validity of this election. NOBODY can claim Obama wasn't chosen by the people, or that he doesn't have a mandate, or that he isn't the honest-to-God POTUS.

So Hannity the spoiled little shit just doesn't want to accept it, well, because he doesn't wanna. Because he's a spoiled little shit. Rules are for others, not him. "Get over it" applies to Democrats who lose, not Republicans. Patriotism means supporting the illegitimate Republican President, not the legitimate Democratic President. Dignity is for others, not him.

I realize perfectly well that Hannity is there to cater to and kiss the asses of the 20% of the idiots who still love George Bush and will believe whatever nonsense they're told. There's big money to be made in telling 60 million dipshits what they want to hear. And I doubt that on the side people like him believe the shit they spew. I'm sure a large part of their time is spend thinking up "the next thing I can get these dumb fucks to swallow, hook line and sinker." However, Hannity and his type should forever be used as a warning to independents, moderate Republicans (not that there are many of THOSE left), etc. as to what would happen when if those 20 per centers are given any power. We have to contain the 20 percenters, to make sure they never, ever grow to 21 percent or higher.

I say Hannity's remarks be quoted and forwarded along to anyone who might EVER consider voting Republican again if they think "maybe this party has learned its lesson and is capable of leading."

[Hamlette]

26. I disagree

there is no way you will convince me that 56 million americans voted for McCain Palin. For the first time, I believe the election was rigged...in their favor. I believe about 27% of Americans are crazy (that the % who voted for Keyes over Obama for senate in Ill...dumbed the "crazification factor". But that would be about about 35 million ppl, not 56 million.

We've been robbed. I will die convinced 20 million votes cast for Obama were "flipped" by voting machines to McCain.

They thought that would be enough but it wasn't. But still, they cheated this time for sure.

[Solomon]

27. Interesting post

[butterfly77]

40. I was thinking the same thing...

They tried to steal it but there were so many votes they couldn't,but there were many more votes for Obama..

[hulka38]

13. Funny post. Hannity is just playing to his base. He's not doing anything out of character here IMO.

[Kind of Blue]

16. Biggest problem besides being a racist asshole is that

Innanity doesn't matter anymore. Heard that on KO's Worse Person referring to Krystal, Limbaugh & Billo. That's what is really killing them, they don't matter anymore and they know we're laughing at them.

[Honeycombe8]

17. I'm surprised. But Franks is right. It'd send the wrong message for him to say anything...

that would cause the troops to disrespect the future Commander-in-Chief. It would be harmful to the military and to the country.

Gen'l Franks is doing the right thing by not being trapped.

[vaberella]

18. Sounds like he's facing the PUMA dillemma. n/t

[Imagevision]

20. Even Limbaugh was off his game today - Hannity will have probs smearing Obama...

[yellowcanine]

21. Hannity thought he could get a general to diss the people's choice as CIC?

He really is delusional. Good to see him get smacked down.

[lutefisk]

22. It's like Joe McCarthy near the end. Hate can't sustain a movement forever.

The former supporters are beginning to see "Hannityism" for the ugly thing it is.

[Dr Fate]

23. They should all take their BB-guns into the woods & play "Red Dawn"

n/t

[bullwinkle428]

24. The little piece of shit CONTINUED to use the smear about

Obama describing "air-raids killing civilians in Afghanistan". Obama was DIRECTLY QUOTING the commander of the American forces operating in Afghanistan!!

Furthermore, either KO or Rachel had a story about Karzai now making the request to Obama to stop with the air-raids that threaten civilians, after making this request constantly for months if not years to Bush!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

25. He spends an inordinate time railing against the "fairness doctrine"

Heard him ranting about it (for the umpteenth time today). You don't even need to listen to him for very long to hear him bring it up. I don't know if we need to bring the "fairness doctrine" back or even if it would affect him (or any other radio talk show host) however he seems absolutely terrified about the prospect of having it back. He had a caller on today smugly bragging about the fact that the Repubs can still use the filibuster to stop legislation and that there is virtually no money left to enact any new programs, and that Obama's supporters will become disillusioned with Obama because he won't be able to do much. Sad, sorry SOBS.

[Solomon]

28. They keep bringing up the fairness doctrine because they

know they are way over the line.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

29. Savage, Limbaugh and Hannity are the 3 absolutely worse talk show hosts around

Savage's suggestion that Obama was going to visit his dying grandmother so that he could kill her (to cover up his birth certificate "scandal") was SO over the line I can't believe his sponsors didn't pull the plug on him right then and there. But I guess IOKIYAR (or whatever he is).

The only "conservative" host that I can stomach for more than a few minutes is Bill O'Lielly but, despite his occasional hiccups of "fairness" and "balance", even he spends a majority of his time bullying his guests (who he has on seemingly for no other reason than to bully them), furiously attempting to mislead/exaggerate, and, well, LIE. That being said at least he doesn't get down and out ugly like the three aforementioned hosts.

I just can't figure out how any of them remain on the air day after day, year after year, purportedly with thousands (or millions?) of listeners each day. IMHO it would puzzle even the smartest ivory tower-dwelling intellectual elitist snobs for decades (if not centuries) to come.

[d.amber]

30. This was brought here as well -the fairness thing

we had Rep Adam Smith who was the co-chair for the Obama campaign here in Washington and the talk radio host Dori tried to see if if the house was going to push it through.

Adam Smith was kind of dumbfounded. He said he heard that maybe a few members of the house had mentioned it but it is hardly top priority. They have a large economic problems to deal with.

talk radio from the right is so weird. Like congress is only thinking about them.

[JVS]

38. If we brought back the fairness doctrine, he'd be out of a job.

His slot would have to be given to someone to make up for O'reilly's swill

[Jennicut]

33. Sad that even Rove had to tell him that in a democracy (which rethugs love to spread in the world)

you have to accept the will of the people. The people have spoken, by 7 freakin percentage points! That is way more then Shrub ever got.

[No Elephants]

34. Sorry. My loyalty never went to Dummya. Or Poppy. Or Reagan. then again, there's no

comparison between any of those jerks and obama. If they ever put a human being in office, maybe he or she will get my loyalty. Until then, I'm dug in.

[NewJeffCT]

35. You know things are bad when Karl Rove is the voice of sanity

Hannity is pathetic.

[shaniqua6392]

36. Even Hannity's girlfriend Hasslebeck on The View said nice things about Obama today.

Doesn't Sean realize he is totally outnumbered? Americans want peace and prosperity and losers like him should just get the hell out of our way.
