Hannity bashes Free Republic (February 2005)

[1Old Pro]

Just now on his radio show...says we taken over by fringe people

listen to the audio

[B.O. Plenty]

Goody.....he said it......everybody here heard it.

[NormsRevenge]

If you like car chases,, Don't miss the Daytona 500 this weekend!

Swing by the FR NASCAR weekly threads and have a cold one or two with the FR Nascar Pit Crew.. :)

[monkeywrench]

Well, let me sum up what you missed as you were dozing that day. (no, it doesn't matter what day)

He wrote a book.

[Mears]

Thanks for your pithy answer.

When did FR start? (not looking for an argument here,just curious.)

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Yes- everyone needs to read that one. It is so true.

[LowInMo]

Probably the most thoughtful and honest post I've seen. Thanks. But I think Sean may have s&*t in his own nest on this one.

[Jaguar Girl]

Sean is right, he is a man of high character and is honest.It has always been the dems that never speak out if their President does something they do not approve of.

Since when did the Republican party start to behave like Democrats. It is unAmerican to take everything that comes down the pike as how it should be when a person is wrong they are wrong. Let's not behave like Democrats even if the owner of this site stayed one long after Clinton was President and Bush was President for 5 months.

[Delphinium]

What an A___. He has really let this go to his headx. I will never listen to him again.

[jocon307]

"...he is sounding more and more like O'Reilly."

What do you expect, they are cut from the same bolt. Two loud-mouth Irish American guys from Long Island. Hubby can't stand either one. My theory is that's because hubby is a loud-mouth Irish American guy from Long Island.

Really the loud-mouth Irish American guy I could never stand was Mike Gallagher, but I don't think he's from Long Island. To me he was always like the man on the last bar stool who could be interesting, but only between the third and the sixth beer.

I haven't read all the replies, so someone may have already said this, but does this count as Hannity's OPUS? Has anyone rated it yet?

[FastCoyote]

"on the contrary, we have tons of fact-checking that is done almost instantaneously, and by parties far more rigorous and less biased than the MSM types."

Yup, a lot of us have degrees or areas of expertise that are really outstanding. For example, I have some depth expertise on Yucca Mountain, Nevada politics, and thermodynamics. Each are a small niche, but you combine that with submariners evaluating the San Francisco, marines on site in Iraq, pilots, engineers, insider politicians, computer geeks, etc. etc. etc. (not to omit moms at home who know more than Hillary), calling us fringe is more than a bit bizarre. We grind out collectively some pretty impressive results.

Hannity is lying when he says he hasn't been on FR in years. He might not comprehend the complex discussions that take place here. But he's lying if he says he doesn't visit.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Could there be a Hannity -- Gannon -- Clinton Connection?

Hannity's comment about FReepers eating one's own taken to a higher level:

GOP eating their own

DNC/Clintons eating GOP.

One wonders, in light of how Mr. Gannon was just treated, whether this carefully-planned event was in fact a Hannity response to some sort of offer he "couldn't refuse" and packaged to LOOK like a commercial pitch.

Meanwhile, remember that there are those who are watching this very thread, licking their chops and looking for NEW ammo. Please, all, let us be extremely wise with minimal comments and REFUSE to eat our own--including, usually, Hannity.

Let's focus back on what other scandals are happening. This is not a fatal wound to FR. It is a typical MSM/DNC diversionary/divide-and-conquer tactic to hurt an important GOP/Conservative resource. Let's refuse to let this happen.

I smell a Clinton/Dean/McAuliffe/Soros/DNC/??? Rat in ALL of this.

[MEG33]

I agree..He has taken some hard hits here and he is pushing his blog...I like Hannity OK..He does some good things..He did display a bit of pompous piety.

[TheRightGuy]

Excellent post, Leni. You've got it nailed (as usual)!

[fishtank]

Go to the first post. There's an audio link there.

It's disgusting.

[rdcorso]

Sometimes I think Sean likes the liberals he sucks up to on his show better than real conservatives.He's another talker who is only faithful to the almighty dollar.

[BykrBayb]

I didn't know I was "fringe." Did you know?

[LowInMo]

AMEN!

[GodBlessUSA]

LOL!
