Did Hannity make a veiled swipe at O'Reilly?

Posted on 04/01/2004 2:48:14 PM PST by sam_whiskey

I've been listening to Hannity's April Fools' show today and once the jig was up he was reiterating that he'd never change his positions around like Kerry. He then made reference to someone else "in this business" who changes their position solely based on what they think will be beneficial to them or get them publicity. For some reason, the first guy who popped into my mind was O'Blowhard. When I think of completely self-serving talk radio hosts he's usually number one on the list. You think he was taking a jab at O'Reilly or someone else???

I haven't watched or listened to O'Reily in awhile. I know he's a little obnoxious and supports some things that I'm against, like gay adoption. But I don't remember him changing his position on any major issue. What has he flip flopped on? I haven't heard him in about 8 months, so it's very possible that I missed something lol.

You mean Bill O'Franken??

I think Bill & Al need to get a room to carry on their love fest!

One day Hannity hinted at knowing some deep, dark, secret about another talk radio host. He said it was a guy who didn't like him and had badmouthed him and someone had given Hannity this info so he could get revenge. He said if we knew who it was we'd be shocked. That the info he had could ruin this guy...and I wondered then too if it was O'Reilly. Some established talk radio host out there has definitely earned Hannity's ire...whoever it is.

BS? The guy was just honoring a promise that he made to his viewers/listeners... How can you get mad at O'Reilly for honoring a promise. He made the promise to defend his nations leader in a time of war. 1st of all, it is Franken, not O'Reilly, and you should listen to O'Reilly b/c he makes great points on every issue, I like his conviction, he isn't a puppet. You shouldn't let 1 small thing ruin the faith, and Hannity and O'Reilly are good friends I am sure.

Listening to O'Reilly a little bit today...and he sounds mighty defensive to me. He's ripping G. Gordon Liddy a new one. Also he let a caller get by with calling Hannity "nothing more than a right-wing flamethrower" and he didn't refute him. Just made a weak statement that he wouldn't say anything bad about someone he works with. I think there's more here than we know...

BTW-No way was Hannity making the statement about dirt on a guy that would shock us about Franken. First off, you couldn't tell us anything about Al that would shock us. Secondly, when he made the first cryptic statement Franken wasn't even on the air yet.

I'd think it would be O'reilly.

IIRC I have heard Drudge ripping on O'reilly before and saying that he has info that could ruin him, and from what I've observed, it seems like Hannity and Drudge are close.

Oh man I hate that kind of stuff. Why do people say those kind of things if they ain't gonna tell you who it is!?! He could have at least given some clues.

I think you are on to something. It probably was Drudge who revealed some info to Hannity. I betcha Drudge was fun to hang out with in highschool. I'm sure he always had the scoop.
