What kind of people listen to Sean Hannity?
According to my fan mail, it appears Sean Hannity criticized my essay on the Blacksburg massacre picked up by "OpEdNews" and others, and his listeners somehow got my e-mail address. I have long wondered who Hannity’s fans are, and at last I had the chance to find out. More than 150 emails arrived, most of which only cursed me or suggested I depart the country, preferably feet first. Others, though, suggested various tortures, including taking me apart with a pliers; and a few took the trouble to prescribe harsher punishments should I cross their path.

“If I ever see you or hear you at a meeting, in public, at a private party, beware, I might be standing next to you, about to blow your f---ing twisted brains all over the wall.” Other Hannity followers also explained why gun control won’t work. Some letters lifted my spirits. One from Noel Granite, at voyage923@yahoo.com, was cause to make me thank my lucky stars: “You are lucky I can’t get my hands on you. Call it a threat, report it, do whatever you want but if you ever cross my path you will never be able to write again.” (Noel, I am NOT reporting it. I like a guy who speaks his mind. Besides, the FBI must be so busy trying to find the perp of the 10/11 anthrax attacks on Congress, I don’t want to hand them another tough nut to crack.)


From b.it@comcast.net came advice to “open my carotid artery and suck on a barrel for being such a piece of s--- low life that would write such a thing. …Die filthy America hater. Just die.” (Please note: this is NOT a death threat, merely a suicide suggestion, so I am only forwarding it to the State of Oregon.) Not one to be left out, Jeff Slegaitis at mtn_man_98034@yahoo.com, wrote, “Just quit breathing! Lick the snotty-end of my f--- -stick BITCH!

2. Hannity, Sean Hannity,
What kind of people listen to Sean Hannity?
Fat freepers, skinny freepers,
Freepers who climb on rocks,
Tough freepers, sissy freepers,
Even freepers with chickenpox
Love Hannity, Sean Hannity,
The host who really bites!

9. Cowards.
I would love to actually see some of these sad excuses for homo sapiens.

Might be worth a chuckle or two.

10. Unsuccessful white males, mostly.
Edited on Mon Apr-30-07 09:03 PM by Marr
You know- people who have a vague sense that they're being screwed (which they are, of course), but don't actually know who's screwing them. They're bitter and looking for someone to blame, and guys like Sean Hannity step in and give them a simple answer. Minorities. The poor. Gays. Hollywood. "Liberals", in other words.

They don't recognize the fact that it's corporate America that's screwing them, and since all their right-wing heroes are mouthpieces for corporate America, no one's going to tell them either.

13. Wow... you have hit on something so succinctly that I'm going
to start using that when talking to one of these Republican white males.

They are being screwed, but they've put the blame on the wrong group(s) of people.

:applause: Bravo!

16. So, so true
Most white males are getting screwed economically by.........other white males.



Until I went into business for myself, every business owner, manager, foreman, what have you that I worked for was a white male.

And, yes, I got the screwing.

15. they are conditioned to believe that it is unpatriotic
to question the decisions of people running corporations. Hannity gets paid big bucks from a media corporation (clear channel) to attack anyone or anything other than corporate America.

14. I'll bet if you ever confronted one of them in real life
They'd clam up and stare at their shoes and mumble.

They're pretty tough when hiding behind an email account or blog comment section.

23. When I was posting on that other board, that was pretty common fare.
They never got it...If I said so much as "boo" they'd post shit like the stuff in the OP. And then rant on about DU being a cesspool of hatred...while they wished death and mayhem on everybody who didn't love George Bush. The right wingers are really a bunch of twisted fucks, and even though I'm sure the lurkers will read this, they won't see themselves in it.

24. Whoever they are, they don't date much
Somebody here posted a link to a (spoofed, I hope) Hannidate candidate over the weekend. Just for shits and giggles, while I was there I tried to find a young male freeper specimen in my neck of the woods. Nada. Okay, how about an older man? No results. So I tried to find a male between the ages of 18-80 within 500 miles of Orlando.

ZERO.

Where have all the freepers gone, long time passing....

27. People like my moronic repuke brother
I once suggested that he watch Amy Goodman on Democracy Now!, and he told me he would, but only if I watched Hannity and Colmes. I doubt that he upheld his end of the bargain, but I TRIED to watch that stupid show. I didn't get very far into it before I

:spray: and :puke: and :banghead: and :argh:

Of course, underneath it all, I was :rofl:.

Did I say Hannity and Colmes is a STUPID show?

33. Don't give up on your brother.
My brother used to be a dittohead but he has opened his eyes and seen the light. He even sent me an introductory subscription to The Nation. I was skeptical at first but he has truly converted. Bush and the neocons have pulled back the curtain for many to see who the republican leadership really is these days.

30. a great percentage of this nation
is truly sick. That, IMHO, is the one fact that the Progressive community doesn't really want to face about the Bush tenure: there is a sizeable number of people in this country who would very quickly line every liberal, homosexual ,feminist, vegeterian and peacenik against a wall and blow our brains out.

31. No one that you'd want in your life, that's for sure
Generally speaking, these types are cowards and backstabbers- only out for themselves. They're also invariably the types that whine the loudest when something happens to them personally.
