It's hard to believe that some people buy into this character's evil thoughts. Last week (think it was Friday) some 19 year old female named Michaela called Sean Hannity and immediately launched into a diatribe quoting Chomsky as she went. Sad to say, Sean gave her and her father about half an hour of his valuable air time.

One of the few things that I criticize Hannity about is his penchant for being overly fair to people with radical ideas.

But then, I remember being an idiot myself when I was about that age. Guess she's just as entitled to idiotic thoughts as I was.

Sean or anyone else confronted with a Chomsky-ite can defuse them with one simple question:

In the endless predictions Chomsky has made, what was he ever right about?

I heard that Hannity segment too - the girl's father was just as nutty. Makes me think the fruitcake didn't fall too far from the tree...

I heard both days of conservation. I don't believe for one second the father was as conservative/moderate as he claimed. I noticed both he and his daughter had the same distinctive liberal/radical debating style.
Every time Hannity ask a point of reference question such as do you support the war effort to remove the Nazis they would squeal in shocked disbelief "excuse me?"
Neither one was used to having their world view questioned. For them a substantive debate between to radical points of view would be should felons be given the vote while incarcerated vs giving the vote to illegal aliens. In the end both win out.
They are only used to talking with each other or the intellectual lazy, who would much prefer talking about Nipplegate at the Super bowl. Needless to say they have come to see themselves as superior to everyone else, a real debate throws them off. You can always tell by "excuse me?".

Absolutely. My wife and I became so angry with Sean's accomodation with that nutcase (and her so-called 'father') we turned the radio off and missed the remainder of the program. In fact, we have done that on several occasions where Sean became too 'diplomatic' with left-wing psychotics.

My daughter was taking an english class at our community college and tried to stick it out. The reading list featured Chomsky and the like, with no balance of right wing authors. She finally quit in disgust. Whe has finished two years there and lacks a degree because she dropped this course. Talk about indoctrination, how can an English professor get away with this? His English course was essentially a bullypulpit for his left wing agenda. This is what passes for education in broome county. Thank goodness she is squarely right wing conservative and Republican -- we raised her right.

I'd rather Hannity air these kooks.
Better to know your enemy than to not.
