I agree we ARE on the same side, and rarely disagree with him. BUT when he opens his mouth spouting this type of stuff to millions of people, he is indeed doing what he said FR was doing. He is NOT helping the credibility of FR with this statement. So, I agree with his politics but question his judgement running his mouth about one of the strongest allies he could hope to have.

" Sean Hannity recently expressed on the air that something like 80% of the FReepers now hate him." -- I do not know if he actually said that, I copied it from the top of the thread. But if he did, I wonder why he feels the need to use the word "hate". (I read over 1000 posts from FReepers about him, and honestly I don't see that anyone "hates" him.)
After his original petty and unproductive comments about FR the other day, "fringe people" etc., nearly all the posts about his unusual behavior that day in knocking FR in order to promote his site, nearly all FReeper remarks were meant as constructive criticism. He uses the word "hate". I think that is not applicable.
Most of us would just like to see him use his media position in a more efficient way. His debating skills are poor, his a self-promotion in never-ending, and he is way too forgiving to weak liberal advocates. We all really just want him to do better, because his time on the air is really "our" time.
When Hillary runs in 2008, we are going to need all guns firing well. He has to improve or move over and give someone else a chance.
Sean did a great deal to help get G.W. elected in 2004. We just want him to do the right thing in the future, and do it a little better. (imo)
No reason for him to single out FR... except to distance himself from conservative blogs... like O'Really did.
IMO, he's dung.
