I watched it with a great deal of discomfort and trepidation because I found the left-wing kids on the show winning the debates with Hannity hands down. Apart from the African-American girl someone rightfully criticized for being inarticulate, the other graduates were extremely articulate and they were in command of the facts. Very important, they were not intimidated by Hannity and they would not tolerate him interrupting them, which was their perfect right.

The young, somewhat effeminate young man dominated Hannity over the issue of the reduction of the deficit as a percentage of GDP. It took the Asian kid, a conservative, very smart and very articulate, to point out that Obama was reducing his own deficit. Nevertheless my point stands, the left wing kid would not permit Hannity to override him by interrupting as Hannity does on his radio show.

The left-wing kids were also smart enough not to answer questions they found inconvenient and were not intimidated by Hannity saying, "you won't answer my question." In that kind of give-and-take, each side has a right to the microphone and Hannity does not have a right to shape their responses by his questions. It is up to the viewer to decide how damaging an evasion of the question is, not Hannity.

All this from someone who believes Hannity is usually beaten up more than is necessary on this forum.

I take no joy in this assessment, I'm calling it as I see it.

Hannity is a dolt. His sledgehammer style only works when he can control the exchange.

The Left Wing kids were rude.

Mr. Hannity was gracious enough to invite these liberal kids on his show and the liberal kids showed no respect to Mr. Hannity or the conservative college graduates.

When Mr. Hannity would attempt to redirect the discussion and move on to the conservative graduates, the liberal kids would keep talking right over Mr. Hannity on his own TV show.

All the liberal kids were there to do was to ram their agenda down the throats of the Fox News audience and not show respect for Mr. Hannity or the conservatives on the panel.

Bingo. Right you are. Hannity isn’t the world’s greatest debater, even though he thinks he is.

I would say the Liberal kids are cowards because they refused to answer many questions that showed their stupidity. Quick answer, if taxes are more than 51% in total, then you are a slave to the Government. Even God only asks for 10%.
What is really sad is that even the Republican kids show signs of brainwashing into the Marxist philosophy. You cannot have BOTH Liberty and Equality. Yet even the Rep. kids though homosexual or Genderless marriage was needed for equality. Excuse me how do gays consummate the marriage? What State has a test that says you have to prove you are heterosexual to get married. Watch the following video. the KGB won.

That’s my problem with Hannity. He can’t debate liberals, he just changes the subject. I quit listening to his radio show because of that. He’s no Mark Levin.

Hannity had very few good responses to the progressive Alinskyites. Surely he could have found one or two articulate Republican students, maybe a little less docile.

It was like setting in a lecture with someone scraping fingernails on the chalkboard.

By the way Hannity is entitled to talk over the obnoxious kids when they are refusing to answer direct questions and misstating facts, unfortunately he didn't call them when they blatantly misstated facts, and let one kid justify her statement with Keynesian econ 101.
