What's With Hannity?

The Sean Hannity Show (Radio) | 24 Sept 04 | Lancey Howard

Does Sean have a problem with role of Free Republic...

Yes. Sean doesn't like the fact that some freepers dare to criticize him.

[Lancey Howard]

Just to be clear, I like Sean Hannity and I hope he's just being forgetful, but somebody needs to give him a heads-up that there's a lot of people who have done a lot of work on this Rathergate scandal.

[joyce11111]

I noticed the same thing today..and, lately I think Sean has gotten too self-important.

Maybe he thought he needed the credit for the break in the rather gate story.

[ColoCdn]

I've heard him refer to bloggers as doing the heavy work in uncovering Rathergate, but he has a vested interest in promoting the Killian family since he was one of the first to interview them at the outset of this mess.

[EagleUSA]

In spite of Hannity's probable oversight, we can sure hand it to Rush, who has, on multiple occasions, credited the NEW MEDIA with bringing down the elitist media on this, and other issues.

I sent Rush an email when I first heard him credit the lowly conservative surfers with a major contribution in exposing the fraud and lies of the leftists in the media.

So there is hope -- lots of it -- for we conservative surfers!!! :-)

[Keith in Iowa]

I think you're reading too much into Hannity's "exclusive" claim - what he had that was exclusive is the commentary from Killian's kin...that's all.

[Lancey Howard]

I sure hope Sean's not that thin-skinned.
He'll end up with problems down the road if he doesn't know who his friends are. Everybody - - from Rush to Bush - - gets criticized here from time to time, but when the chips are down, everybody is side by side against the insidious evil of liberalism.

[Hunble]

Yes. Sean doesn't like the fact that some freepers dare to criticize him.

That was well stated, and you are close to the truth.

Face it, Freepers will always be the "little people."

[deadhead]

I was thinking the same as I listened to him on my way home. Sean, if you read this, give credit to where credit is due. Way to go, Buckhead and other Freepers.

[Screaming Eagle Red Leg]

Sean is not the most intellectual apple on the tree.

[sarasotarepublican]

I tried listening to him on the radio. I had to turn him off. Just couldn't stand the constant interrupting.

Hope he isn't on some ego trip. He's good on Fox, but horrid on the radio.

[harpu]

Geeez...get over it! It's like you're looking for flyshit in the spilled pepper!

[NImerc]

I have heard him say "Thank God for people like Col. Killian's son otherwise this could have went on as true" However, you really have to look at it with a dose of reality. The "Blogosphere" did uncover and perpetuate the notion and discovery that the memos were faked but the DNC and CBS were simply dismissing those claims as coming from RNC "ops" while still disputing that the contents of the memos were in fact true and not being refuted. What people like Ben Barn's daughter and Gary Killian brought to the table was testimony that directly disputed the contents of the memos. Looking at both the memos themselves as well as the contents under heavy scrutiny, it was only a matter of time before the whole house of cards came tumbling down. I agree Sean should give a shout out to those who jumped on the validity of the memos, but I don't think questioning the structure of the memos itself would have unhinged the whole thing.

when i promote someone in our organization i always tell them to not become their box.. meaning in love with the position ....

i would think with all the forces of evil around today that this would be a moot point until after we get 4 more years....

besides our positon in the world is not longer 'set' it is fluid as the people who join or contribute.... so our influence and capability will also....

we need him .... and he needs us....
i like to allow lots of ambiguity with respect to who does what when and over the long haul..... everyone wins...

[manic4organic]

Sean seems to be in need of an egoectomy. I used to listen to him/watch him, but I can't stand his endless self-promotion.

[Screaming Eagle Red Leg]

Agreed. He is almost impossible to take on the radio. I want him to defend the conservative position, but he needs to stop shouting down people. It gets old.

[quidnunc]

I listen to Hannity sometimes if I'm in the car (he's on from 6-9PM in Chicago), but he's way too tedious for me.

He reminds me a lot of Michael Reagan.

He's got a vested interest in his Web site, and I don't think he wants to get people reading blogs who might otherwise be on his site.

[snopercod]

I like Sean, too. Perhaps this is an error of ignorance?

FWIW, even powerlineblog.com credits FreeRepublic with the first questioning of the fake memos. [link]

Hannity Vanity. Boo..
