He is like a Echo chamber, but He was hammering rev. Wright,Ayers and others before anyone would touch it. I believe it is possibly his stand on Morality, and Family values that attracks His crowd. Most of all His support for the troops and their Famlies. The others do some of this but He is unrelenting on it.

“She had breast cancer a few years back.”

I knew that, but hopefully that's behind her. She looked pretty healthy to me. Maybe she's just tired. I admire her as a person and I really hope and pray she stays healthy. She's the real deal. Up front with what she thinks. Witty. Incredibly smart. And, she doesn't have a stealth agenda. She just knows what she thinks and feels is right, and she fights for it. How many people like that are there on the American political landscape? From the view I have from where I stand it appears that there are not many.

Ingraham is FAR better than BOR. OReilly is such an ego maniac. And on some matters, like oil, he needs to defer to others better versed on facts. Other than that, we do watch him. If only to occasionally scream at him on screen.

Don't forget the likes of Susan Estrich, Al Sharpton, Lainie Davis, also somehow managed to become friends with Hannity and get periodic guest appearances on his show. I don't understand how he thinks any of his listener base wants to hear anything these people have to say ever again.

But since Hannity's show is a mix of talk and guest interviews I suppose he feels this makes him a well rounded talk show host. I don't understand why Beckel ever bothers with the likes of Hannity, they don't agree on anything, unless it's just a matter of Hannity paying him well for each appearance on the show. One day Hannity will learn all liberals are nothing but opportunistic backstabbers.

Perhaps you should not turn Him on then. No pun intended

We aren’t talking about putting on concerts. If he wants to be a concert promoter then let him be one. He is a parrot of a dozen other right wing talkers who are more original, more intelligent, and fearless.

Hannity is too clean...which is the problem with the party today. We have too many people playing it safe when you have our freedom’s being stripped by the hour.

Hannity sells books and concert tickets. Don’t go pointing the “what have you done” finger at me pal. I have done plenty for the cause...PLENTY.

Looks like someone hit a nerve!

You're right about Hannity (guido911), each and every talk radio person has their own thing going.

Hannity frustrates me sometimes but he's done wonders for the troops (and espectially the surviving families of those who have made the greatest sacrifice for our country), but I love Beck's bomb throwing with fact after fact.

I didn’t expect that sort of response, nor was I interested in striking a nerve from my new “pal”. But whatever. There are unappreciative, short-termed memory folks out there who: forget about Hannity’s tremendous love for our troops and this country (and either minimize the significance of or belittle his Freedom Concerts), forget about his pushing (and to some actually breaking) the Reverend Wright/Obama and Ayers/Obama connections that culminated to more folks thrown under the Obama bus; forget about his tireless defense of Sarah Palin; and forget that Obama specifically took Hannity to task during the campaign.

I do agree that every talk radio person has their own shtick and that some might want him to be more of a bomb thrower. However, he must be doing something right because he broadcasts his radio show through over 500 station affiliates and frequently has almost 3 million viewers on his cable show.

Greta is just trash.

Let me guess -- you haven't watched her in well over a year, right?

Laura was a co-host on MSNBC years ago and more recently, Fox tried her in the 5 pm slot before Glenn Beck. Her ratings were abysmal (by FNC standards)—no better than those of John Gibson, who was her predecessor in that time slot.

Laura was pretty stiff in her less than a month tryout. The format was creaky and a bit silly. She is doing much better now, her private life is straightened out, she has gotten over her illness, she has a child. She is now much better on TV.

Yep...it got dry long ago.

Though Laura looked a bit uncomfortable(actually downright painful to watch)when she first started subbing for O, last week she shined. Way to go Laura!

Fox needs to dump some of it's garbage(Shep, Whoraldo, Huck?)...give the ladies(Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Tammy Bruce, Megyn Kelly, etc.)their own show(s)...sort of like "The View"...only with brains(not to mention....meow).

Bringing on Lou Dobbs wouldn't hurt either. He's on the tail end of his career...why waist in on "the most busted name in news...CNN"?

At the very least Beck needs to be moved into a better time slot....Bill O looks like a guy who's made his fortune, now he's just trying to get invited to A-list parties...his guests give the only passion and view-ability to his show anymore.

(Yes, yes, yes, Bill...Bold Fresh...yada yada yada...)

Once trash, always trash. If she’s hooking her trailer a new anti-Obama bandwagon, no, I didn’t know. And I don’t care. All that means is that she’ll have a conservative audience next time she switches sides.
