Sean Hannity has a scoop on dem party corruption (Vanity)

Sean Hannity radio show ^ | 11/04/03 | Unknown Democrat (via Sean Hannity)

Is anyone listening to Hannity? He just read a memo from a dem party staffer (i think) on the select committe on intelligence (or some such), which, as he describes it, shows the the dem committe members are pre-planning a political assault on the pres. and care nothing for our security, which is their job.

He's acting like this is the hottest scoop since I don't know what, I'm at work so I'm only 1/2 listening, plus he read the whole thing which seemed to be a least 2 pages long, a little tough to follow being in beaurocrat-speak.

Is this really important? And will this story grow legs?

[DaGman]

Ummm... why is this news? November is a sweeps month. Sounds like Hannity's trying to get his numbers up.

[Mo1]

Thanks .. But Poser put it together I think

I just copy and pasted it

heard it live, went through too much radio station loss of signal to hear it read!

[Miss Marple]

Well, I think it is news. It is immaterial about Sweeps Month. I suppose you think that Chinook shot down was because of Sweeps Month as well.

The important thing about this is that it shows that the democrats (as we have surmised) are concerned more with trashing the president than with national security.

And fortuitously, any time they try to initiate an independent investigation, we will be able to wave that memo in their faces.

It is an excellent development.

If Sam Katz can somehow win the Philly Election .. I'll be dancing like that all night long *L*

"We need to work in a bipartisan manner."

Translation: Either the Republicans "bi" into what we want, or we'll call them "partisan".

[Don Corleone]

Isn't Shrillery on that committee?

[Alas Babylon!]

I think most people here know me as a FReeper who doesn't get into flame wars and insults.... But what a terribly stupid thing to say!

[mathluv]

Sweet Baby James - his call screener.

Look, we are on the same side here. But let's put this in perspective: The point of the Committee is to investigate shortfalls in intelligence. Why are we all shocked to hear that the Dems might use what they legally find for political benefit? I mean...duh! Isn't that the point? Isn't that why President Bush has fought so hard to prevent an investigation into the intelligence in the first place???

My own opinion is that the President was 100% right-on about Iraq. The evidence said that Saddam had WMDs, that he was harboring terrorists and that he posed a threat to his neighbors.

Now, IF there was something wrong with the intelligence that lead the president to believe that going into Iraq was the right thing to do...then that faulty inteligence, not the whiny Democrats, not the President and not the Republicans is what is getting all those troops killed.

By blowing this memo thing out of proportion, we are just putting a big spot-light on a committee that no-one even knew about until this afternoon. Heck, even the Dems didn't think they would get much traction from this! (Read the memo: Intelligence issues are clearly secondary to the public's concern regarding the insurgency in Iraq.)

I invite you to show me how idiot Dems attacking the President about allegid inteligence failures translates into dead soldiers.

Can you imagine two Iraqi terrorists sitting in a cave, smokeing from a hooka, and saying:

"Akbar, if it wasn't for our partners in the Democratic party in America I just wouldn't have the motivation to kill another infidel soldier."

Even if the Dems were kissing Bush's butt, those Iraqis would STILL kill Americans at the same pace! Why? Because that's what terrorists do!

They hate our freedoms, so lets not act like a one-party state. Democracy means dealing with people who you don't agree with. It also means those same people are going to want to attack the incumbent even if he is a saint. Get over it and stop being so hyperbolic.
If 9/11 didn't bring down the government, certainly some wimpering Liberals won't.

Let's save our energy for when the Dems try to pull our troops out of Iraq and not waste time over a memo that essentially says nothing.

[Wait4Truth]

Thank you! Somebody told me earlier but I appreciate your answer. Sean isn't on here in my city until night time and I am usually on FR!

[Steve_Seattle]

Congratulations on having the guts to stand up in public and tell the truth. We can't let the Dems get away with re-writing history on this point. Another thing I like to bring up in this context is Albright's infamous quote to the effect that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children (supposedly caused by the U.N. sanctions) were a reasonable price to pay for containing Saddam. This raises two good debating points: (1) if the Dems thought Saddam posed no threat, why were the deaths of 500,000 children acceptable and worthwhile?; and (2) unlike Albright and Clinton, Bush did NOT think the deaths of those children was a reasonable price to pay, and he put an end to the regime responsible for those deaths.

[alnick]

I would like to see the full memo, including addressees and signatory.

[mathluv]

what channel? It isn't Fox, is it?

[b4its2late]

We will in due time.

Heck, the ink is still wet, unless of course it was a laser printer.

[b4its2late]

You all want a live thread for the 9 dwarves debate tonight??

Is a live thread even remotely possible with these 9? ;-)

[nothingnew]

Welcome to FR and a chance to have your eyes and ears opened.

I agree 100%.

I think the difference is that I think the American people are to smart for this type of shenanigans. This memo essentially says nothing...it's a story designed to boost ratings for Hannity. By this time next week it will be forgotten.

For the record...I love Hannity's show.
