Is Hannity's radio show overrated?

Posted on 08/27/2009 7:11:07 PM PDT by Politics4US

I don't enjoy Sean's radio show. It's too predictable, and he plays the nice guy too much. Any thoughts?

I don't know about some of you but in my opinion I think it's great to turn on the radio and hear all of our fine, freedom loving talk show hosts, Rush, Levin, Shawn, Laura, Beck and others.

With Obama's FCC "Diversity Czar" waiting in the wings to shut up these voices of freedom, I find it hard to believe the energy spent on this thread by some trashing some of the good guys.

Beck, Savage, Limbaugh...Sean is just a polite usually a weak whiny echo chamber version of them.

I think you are correct. This thread does not belong here.

Yea, Art had gone back to the US, but realized that it was
a bad idea, and returned to Manila.
If only he would get out of the hot muggy city and come to Visayas, he would be much better off.

How original using Annie’s drinking game.

BTW, Annie is frequently on Hannity’s radio and television program.

Did you know she like so many others supported Arnie?

Next time be a bit more clever. Cheers!

Maybe you can’t tell when a conversation is between A&B so I will help you, C your way out.

You’re not the boss of us, you can’t tell us what to do!

I remember when he was relatively new in NYC and only had the talking points from which he never strayed. It was like Sean knew three things and just chanted them over and over. He has come a long way in that, but not enough.

And he uses the word specificity way too much! I cannot listen to his voice or his laugh for any period of time.

I think Sean is a good man. I think he is an honorable man. And I think he plays an important role in the Conservative message to a lot of ppl. He comes across as a good husband and father. He is very likable in a down to earth sort of way. He is definitely more of an asset to Conservative than he is a hindrance. I know that a lot of ppl love him and are very loyal and he seems to be loyal in return. I don’t really think there is a dishonest bone in his body. Sean is great to our troops and if nothing else, he will have my respect and appreciation right there.

Right-wing talk radio is under attack and will be increasingly under attack in the very near future.
Think about this thread and a few other Hannity bash threads started recently......think about it.
Nuff said.

Big time. After Rush, I like to tune into a guy from Baltimore named Ron Smith. Super smart, very fair and very even handed. Even the local stuff is interesting. Here's a link to his show.

Sean is humorless. I find it difficult to believe he’s really Irish.

He is also a motormouth. I always think of the word “logorrhea” when I hear him. One of the giveaways is that he says “y’know” several times a minute. He spews out stock phrases and stock sentences while he’s thinking of something to say. I’ve heard him take several callers in a row, cut each one off after one sentence, and deliver the same one-minute rant after each caller: Ronald Reagan. Cut taxes to stimulate the economy. Greatest economy in the world. A beacon of freedom. Spreading democracy. Created 20 million new jobs. Increased revenue to the government. You have government derangement syndrome.

Sean also has NO CLUE what “Socratic questioning” is. When a liberal says something, Sean simply cuts him off and delivers a conservative rant. Then the next caller, same process.

Sean is also shallow. Abortion is murder, but a little bit of abortion (rape, incest) is okay. I’m a Catholic, but contraception is a good thing if you’re not a Catholic.

I listen to Sean much, much less than Rush, Beck, or Levin.

Boring.

I agree. I wish Conservative would stop shooting their own for reasons that are often petty. Sean is a warrior. He has a good heart. He may repeat Republican talking points but he repeats the ones that make sense. If things are not often repeated they get lost in the noise.

Grabbing the attention of a listener and getting the listener to keep listening is an art. This has nothing to do with mouthing conservative (or liberal) talking points. Most hosts, conservative or liberal, don't seem to understand it. One exception however is a certain highly trained broadcast specialist by the name of Rush Limbaugh.

I am the one who posts the Sean Hannity Show Thread. Been doing for the last couple of weeks one hugh weekly thread. Will be going back on Monday to doing the daily threads. Sean is really the pause between EL Rushbo and TGO.
