Bizzarro world: Hannity just showcased a black guy in MS who's
supposedly been charged under the Voting Rights Act for suppressing the votes of white voters by intimidating them. Is he trying to stir up the southern conservative white votes or what?

4. Old news
Edited on Sun Oct-29-06 09:47 PM by PennyK
This is a story that was in the New York Times about three weeks ago. I didn't realize that was where Hannity does his research.
Oh, wait a minute, isn't that where he also read about the former Taliban guy who is currently attending Harvard (or is it Yale)? He went on a total rampage about that story.

5. After 2004 Hannity believed the Democrats would end
He continually pushed the Zell Miller line "A National Party no more" and told his listeners that the Democrats were disintegrating and would cease to exist in a few years. He will be near suicide next week.

8. I find I can bear his imminent demise at his own hands with enormous fortitude
I have about 6 datura plants and if he'd like, I could make him a nice tea if he can't borrow enough oxycontin from Rush to OD.

9. what's the deal with this 'new' Hannity program, anyway?
How long has this been on? Not very good, in my opinion. But of course, it's inshannity, so what should I expect?

:puke:

10. He's talking about this
http://www.nytimes.com/glogin?URI=http://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/11/us/politics/11voting.html&OQ=_rQ3D3Q26thQ26emcQ3DthQ26orefQ3DsloginQ26orefQ3Dslogin&OP=2c346e72Q2FwLbQ2Awo_Yrl__FqwqvvawQ23vwQ23Q23wQ60rwu_d6F6YrwQ23Q23s_F6Q5DJy4FQ3Fd

MACON, Miss., Oct. 5 — The Justice Department has chosen this no-stoplight, courthouse town buried in the eastern Mississippi prairie for an unusual civil rights test: the first federal lawsuit under the Voting Rights Act accusing blacks of suppressing the rights of whites.

The action represents a sharp shift, and it has raised eyebrows outside the state. The government is charging blacks with voting fraud in a state whose violent rejection of blacks’ right to vote, over generations, helped give birth to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Yet within Mississippi the case has provoked knowing nods rather than cries of outrage, even among liberal Democrats.

The Justice Department’s main focus is Ike Brown, a local power broker whose imaginative electoral tactics have for 20 years caused whisperings from here to the state capital in Jackson, 100 miles to the southwest. Mr. Brown, tall, thin, a twice-convicted felon, the chairman of the Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee and its undisputed political boss, is accused by the federal government of orchestrating — with the help of others — “relentless voting-related racial discrimination” against whites, whom blacks outnumber by more than 3 to 1 in the county.

His goal, according to the government: keeping black politicians — ones supported by Mr. Brown, that is — in office.

To do that, the department says, he and his allies devised a watertight system for controlling the all-determining Democratic primary, much as segregationists did decades ago.

11. Even assuming it's true, it's an insulated case, while the rethugs do it routinely
as a pattern - in Ohio, in Florida, etc. I mean, *as if* this MS case rises to the level of what Hannity's party is doing.
