God bless you...and God bless, defend and protect Terri.
Moreover, he seems cowtow to the most liberal politicians and judges in Philadelphia. I suspect he is planning a political run for something soon, and wants to be "loved" by all sides.
He is also desperate to be seen as unique, and not Rush Limbaugh. He had no mercy on Rush during his drug problem. And why is he so obsessed with airline security? I just got his book at the library--it seems that he claims expertise in this area just because he has flown and dealt with security.
Sean Hannity is liberal??
Actually, he has taken up for Terry Schiavo, which I appreciate. My wife and I had been getting so annoyed by him as of late, but Michael Smerconish shows us it could be a lot worse. I could go on and on about Sean Hannity. One example--he goes on an on about how sacred a life is, and how abortion at any point is wrong. Then he says that it is okay in the case of rape or incest. How can he argue that abortion is murder unequivocably, but then say that the murder is okay if it is preceded by rape or incest?
As for Smerconish, he can be annoying but he went to heroic lengths to tell the truth about cop killer Mumia. I attended a huge dinner Smerconish put together to honor the fallen policeman and it was from Smerconish at that dinner I learned how strong the evidence was against Mumia (e.g. eyewitness who watched Mumia do the killing, fall to the curb and be arrested).
Well said!
Oh I see what you're saying. I guess he is rather hypocritical in that sense. Besides, he shouldn't assume abortion will ever "help" a rape victim. Abortion just re-victimizes her by violating her body in another horrible way.
You are criticizing him for taking an interest in airline security and against terrorism?
Just because he calls a spade a spade (Mumia a cop killer) doesn't make him a conservative. I appreciate when he takes up good causes, but he clearly does not have a conservative viewpoint on the world.
You know what, snap out of it. Sean Hannity is not even remotely liberal. His saying he would permit a rape or incest victim to have an abortion may be controversial but hardly makes him a left winger. More liberal than Sean Hannity?? Cut out the silliness.
No--it's just the way he does it. He talks about it ALL THE TIME! He interviews people about tons of things from Eagles football to Mumia to national politics to Philadelphia parking. Somehow, he always asks the person he is interviewing about whether they agree with him that we should profile Arabs. Don't get me wrong--I agree with Michael on this point and think he is right to make it. It's just that he makes it ALL THE TIME. It just seems he was desperate for a trademark issue, and picked this one. I'm just saying he's a little pathetic sometimes, and works really hard to distinguish himself from others in talk radio.
It also bugs me how he kisses up to liberal senators when they call. Also bugs me how he dumped on FreeRepublic. But the abortion thing really bothers me and undermines the entire prolife movement. But that wasn't the point of my letter, and the part about Sean being liberal wasn't even in the letter I sent to Jerk-onish.
I fully support Terry Schiavo's right to life, but this is a childish, inflammatory and nonsensical vanity.
How is that nonsensical? It makes perfect sense to me. Liberals should be forced to confront the horror of what they suggest head on. If shooting her in the had is distasteful, then how is starving her to death a "reasonable position that should be discussed". Illustrating with absurdity is sometimes the only way.
You are now complaining that he asks about profiling Arabs. You are the typical caller who talk show hosts ask "Then why are you listening to my show?" Well, why are you listening to his show all the time and why are you bothering us with articles about every aspect of that show? And your nonsense that he should support blowing Terry's head off with a shotgun is assinine.
You know what, having read your article and the other nonsense you are going on about, I'm sure the shotgun remark makes perfect sense to you.
I listen to his show to know what's going on in Philadelphia, and so I can send him letters correcting him when he suggests that we starve the disabled to death.
