(KSL News - Salt Lake City) Conservative KSL talk show host Sean Hannity says he wants to debate controversial liberal movie director Michael Moore on the campus of UVSC. Hannity's comments come after UVSC agreed to pay Moore $40,000 to speak on campus.

Hannity called into KSL's Doug Wright Show Thursday morning to respond to requests that he appear at Utah Valley State College. The request comes after an uproar over the UVSC student council voting to pay Moore to deliver a speech at the conservative college.

Some students are furious the school is offering to pay Moore, whom they view as a vicious critic of President Bush. The student council says while they may not agree with Moore's views they believe it's their job to bring people of various views to speak to students.

I have not ever seen Moore speak much less debate but I have seen Hannity in action and he does not impress me all that much.

Many times I have seen Colmes do so well against Hannity that if I didnt know better I would take Alan's side.

The first rule of debates: You cannot argue with an idiot; especially Mordor Hollywood idiots.

I feel there pain. My freshman year at Western WA Univ, they attempted to have Moore here, only they were going to pay him 25k not 40k. He backed out, thank god

TMF,

I am with you. Hannity would be out of his league. Not a really good debater.

LAURA could slice and dice!!

You must be watching a different Hannity and Colmes than I. Sean kicks Allans ass night after night and he will do the same to Moore in short order. The only way Moore scores any points is to "rat out" not letting anyone get in a word or point, Sean is too smart to let him do that IMHO.

Hannity is not good at debating. He needs to have the facts on hand to beat Moore. If he doesn't, he'll lose.

It actually came to me through a time warp from the future.

I hope he comes more prepared than O'Reilly. Moore ate O'reilly for lunch.

I appreciate Hannity's passion, but I'd rather see another Hitchens/Moore debate. Hitchens would be much better.

I second the motion! Especially after seeing her on Hardball - they may need to rename the show softball based on where she (intellectually) kicked Chrissy and Gergen.
