[AlanD]

This is a real head-scratcher.

[ConservativeMind]

Sean has never been much of a thinker.

[Del Rapier]

It is a really dark form of sarcasm.

Reality cannot be ignored.Something is breaking in this country.

[MissDairyGoodnessVT]

SOMEBODY needs to call him out on it

[Haiku Guy]

I suspect that he
Was mocking the media
That trades in such slurs.

[icwhatudo]

Sarcasm.

“That’s all because the Tea Party movement, the people, all these Tim McVeigh wannabes here.”

[MrB]

Yeah, I really had a hard time figuring out he was

MOCKING THE LEFT.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I'm sure he was referring to something someone in the MSM said.

[Chuck54]

No head scratcher.

The MSM and the left refer to anyone who opposes Obama as a far right terrorists.

Sean was only saying his fans are, in the eyes of the left, Tim McVeigh wannabes.

[WayneS]

Got Sarcasm?

I'm not even a fan of Hannity and I could see the sarcasm oozing out of every crevice in that comment.

[scottdeus12]

IT”S CALLED SARCASM, PEOPLE!!!

[Renegade]

The Demorats can take it any way they want . He ,Hannity, actually was making reference to accusations by members of the present administration trying to link tea party members with terrorists such as McVeigh.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Oh geez.

The “how dare you use that name” argument.

I wasn’t aware comparing people to McVeigh was off the table.

Especially when it’s a purely facetious remark (AS NOTED IN THE ARTICLE!), meant as a jab at liberals who like to invoke that very name.

[Tarpon]

Naw, not really it’s just lies, like Obama who lies about everything ...

SEAN SAID THAT LIBERALS THINK OF ALL CONSERVATIVES AS Tim McVey wanna bees. Just a little missing context will help a lot.

You need to see yourself as others see you ... Unlike our two-bit tin pot dear reader in the white house who sees himself as dictator for life, Sean is honest.

[Yossarian]

Ah, our resident moderate speaks up again....

It’s simple: if the left wants to try to slur us by painting us as mass-murderers in waiting, then we have the right to object to that slander, using sarcasm if need be.

To cave in to the left on this is to cave in on all fronts. Don’t let them throw out insults without response.

[nagdt]

Jeez....I watched it and the reference to Timothy McVeigh was CLEARLY a joke. Sean was looking out at his soccer mom, working folk audience when he said it. ugh.
The left spin is beyond retarded. (yes I said the R word!)

[TankerKC]

This is a real head-scratcher.

Sean's not bright, but I suspect you are even less so.

[Responsibility2nd]

I swear some of you FReepers are so dense. You’ll swallow anything withoug looking.

A quick check and I found this:

“We’ve got veterans, we’ve got stay-at-home moms, people who really don’t like the direction of the country. They’re speaking out and they’ve been compared to terrorists, Tim McVeigh-wannabes. They’ve been called un-American. They’ve been called every name in the book. Now, the latest attack is that these people are violent,” he said.

Posting twice for emphasis

[kenmcg]

Hannity was mocking MSM in this clip. MSM has labeled T Party members and conservatives as “Tim McVeigh Wannabees” Anyone who listens to Hannity knows exactly what he was saying.

[KarlInOhio]

Sar-chasm: the gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

[Mr. Mojo]

Or put another way, if Hannity doesn’t like the McVeigh reference, he shouldn’t use it himself.

Precisely.

Sean overuses both sarcasm and talking points.
