I wrote this below on another thread before I listened to the audio of what Hannity said. After listening, I thought he was too harsh. After all, there are so many Hannity fans who do voice their support for him here, even on the threads that are rather cruel to him.

I hope he does apologize.

Look, fellow Freepers. It is G-dly to treat others the way you would like to be treated. Lots of you do NOT do that.

Sean Hannity is ROUTINELY called STUPID on this site.

If you, personally, were ROUTINELY called STUPID somewhere, would you honestly go there? Would you praise the place? Would you?

Do you know what I hate about people who call others dumb? Most of those Freepers who do this often would never dream of insulting a mentally retarded person for not being able to do math or even tie his shoes. When it comes down to it, anyone who notices that another might have a lower IQ than himself and openly denigrates that person is simply CRUEL.

You treated Mr. Hannity with pure unkindness here. Deal with the response.

How dumb can a guy be if he works like a beaver his whole youth and achieves his dreams? He is a Marconi-winning broadcaster, author of successful books, has a great wife and kids. By every account he is a religious and friendly person.

He's in public expressing his views, and he is a hockey player, so he can handle taking hits.

But you, Freepers, are in "public" here too, and you make the choice whether to use the wonderful Internet with human decency or not. Too many of you use the tools of screennames and clever vocabulary in order to insult and disparage, rather than to enlighten or inform.

I agree with you, Sean is not stupid and shouldn't be called such. If people have suggestions for his show, fine.

I am routinely called stupid and worse here, but only by the fringe people.

So I don't let it get to me.

Few people are actually stupid, just various levels of ignorance.

My momma taught me to never use that derogatory term, and I do not.

Some have, and they are wrong to use it.

You're stuffed Vannity!

p.s. Never dismiss the value of ridicule...the Left has been using it effectively for decades.

I agree but do not think he should apologize. Given the responses to what he said .. verifies just what he said.
