Hannity calls for Obama to "step up or step aside"
Edited on Sat May-08-10 05:38 PM by Amerigo Vespucci
Sean Hannity calls for Obama to "step up or step aside" -- just because. No really.

About the time I decide Glenn Beck really is oozy slime from the ninth circle of hell, Hannity slithers back into focus. Truly, there are some people so despicable, so utterly amoral...but I digress.

Last night Sean Hannity went on and on with a litany of lies intended to prove we have an irresponsible President. In the ultimate irony, Hannity claims Obama is not "interested in the facts or the truth." Oh, there's a hoot. He goes on to claim the White House was slow to react to the Nashville floods despite Nashville's mayor saying the opposite, Obama hasn't read Arizona's immigration law, the oil spill is Obama's Katrina (long debunked here, here, and here), and makes the scurrilous, unfounded, ignorant claim that this Administration is incompetent.

At the end he asks, "President Obama, is it time to step up? or maybe step aside?"

I feel the need to respond to him directly.

Gosh, Hannity. Where was that question when you were so bent in 2007 you felt the need to rant about "Democrats emboldening our enemies" by criticizing President Bush?

Mr. Hannity, were YOU ready to step up or step aside when your good pal Hal Turner was rounded up by the FBI and carried away for threatening federal judges?

And while I'm at it, Mr. Hannity, did you call for President Bush to step up or step aside when it was clear for anyone with half a brain to see how the Cheney-Bush administration perverted the rule of law with the efforts to politicize the US Attorneys? No, no you didn't. You APPLAUDED the erosion of our civil rights and constitution.

You know what I truly dislike, Mr. Hannity? I truly dislike people who stand up and thump their chests, puff up and call themselves "Christians" and "patriots" while using their taxpayer subsidized nonprofit organization to pay for private jets, nasty mailers, book-pimping and other activities unrelated to the purpose of said non-profit organization.

So here's the deal, Mr. Hannity. YOU can sit down and shut up or you can step down. At this point, you're a useless sack of words spewing onto the airwaves while MY taxpayers dollars subsidize your effort to dodge your own obligations to our country while you make a mockery of true patriots and Christians.

That is all.

2. Well...
Just another example of the "fair and biased" reporting on Fox news! :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

I think there must be a contest going on with the right wing talking heads to see which one is really the most insane, and who can tell the most lies and get the morons that watch them to buy into those lies!

3. Indeed President Obama. Step up.
Play a guitar. Eat cake. Flyover looking concerned, and stage a few photo-ops. Sean cheered that before, surely he'll cheer it now.

Right Sean? :)

5. I'm glad he said it because it might be his peak of vileness - it might tone down here?
If not, we should protest loudly - and challenge the right of FOX to feed this to the nation and the world. Hey, evangelists, the antichrist is FOX. They are teaching you what to hate.

6. Hey, Hannity - how's that charity scam working out for you?
Edited on Sat May-08-10 05:59 PM by Hawkeye-X
You know, the "Freedom Concerts" where you're supposed to donate proceeds of your charity to the family of the soldiers.

Apparently, golfing and jetting is more important than these kids.

Not. One. Charitable. Bone. in. Hannity's. Body. Period.

Any D-grade celebrities who perform there are just beyond scraping the bottom of the barrel.

These include the following who are signed up for 2010 Scammer Conccerts:

Lynyrd Skynyrd
Michael W. Smith
The Charlie Daniels Band

Lynryrd Skynyrd? It has gone downhill since Freebird, I would imagine.

11. you must be kidding . . .
"one of the best-selling and most influential artists in contemporary Christian music, and he has achieved considerable success in the mainstream music industry as well.<1> Smith is a three-time Grammy Award winner, and he has earned 40 Dove Awards."

this will jog your memory

13. Hannity should "step up or step aside" on the issue of paying injured soldiers
Sean Hannity’s Freedom CONcert Scam: Almost None of Charity’s $ Went to Injured Troops, Kids of Fallen Troops

So, where do you stand, Sean? With the troops? Or with private chartered planes, luxury hotel rooms for all your family and pals and "advisors"?

15. I'm not going to tolerate criticism of the Commander in Chief in a time of war
That kind of talk emboldens our enemies.

Any American who does not approve of the way he is running this nation is invited to leave.

17. If there ever is a True Revolt in this country, Sean will be on the list to check..
...the Guillotines for sharpness.

He's a very dangerous man... opinionated, not very bright and easily manipulated by the right-wing masters.

24. That sounds like a damn good idea, actually
I, dsn, hereby call on President Obama to step up and declare Sean Hannity an enemy combatant, or step aside and let his attorney general do it.

26. Here's the official Hannity Sing-along song:
(To the tune of "Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be?")

Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
My T V has Sean Hannity
It’s the same old insanity
Mostly just good for a scare

They promised their ranting would be fair and balanced
Assaulting my eardrums with forethought and malice
They promised to give us some serious stories
But FOX would never go there.


Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
Bill O’Reilly’s huge vanity,
Big and fat like a manatee,
Tell him the truth if you dare!

They say that their drivel resembles reporting
I wonder what kind of white powder they’re snorting?
Or what’s the deception to which they’re resorting
To make us think round holes are square?


Oh dear! What can the matter be?
Half truths, lies and profanity
FOX deceives all humanity
Nowhere near balanced or fair!

27. Sean needs to sit down and STFU
The (real) grownups are in charge again and busy cleaning up the mess left behind by eight years of Buscho.

Glenn Beck may truly be the crazy "Mad Hatter" of the right (complete with "tea parties" and everything) but Sean is truly a loathsome propagandist tool.
