Hannity bashes Free Republic (February 2005)

[EODGUY]

Frankly, Hannity's radio show is often merely a recap of topics and even quotes from Rush's or Laura Ingram's programs of the same day.

I think you could count the number of original thoughts Sean has had on one hand.

God bless,

If he hasn't logged on in years (nor have is friends), how could he know what's going on here?

[chronotrigger]

Also, he has established his own forum, if I heard correctly.

Sean: "$$$$$$$$$$$! money, money, money..."

[NYC Republican]

I agree with Sean as well.

Hannity has been bashed so he bashes back. One has to be able to swim with the sharks on FR. No easy ride for anyone. I consider it part of FR's charm, the survival of the fittest, the sharpening of skills when defending your position and information sources, or be eaten alive.

Some thrive some perish. I'm sure Hannity can swim with the sharks, it's the annoying little sucker fish that have nothing to contribute but snide, jealous, unintelligent nips, that most likely gets to his fins.

See reply #50.

The Freeper is a meteorologist. He/She can probably answer your questions better than I can.

Nitpicking about words is a time waster. I understand the temptation for a little get back for the Trent Lott thing,etc. As for his assessment of FR, well I think he has a right to his opinion but in this case he's wrong because he put it in context of pushing his own message board. Famous last words that it won't happen to you Sean *lol* The Internet is filled with loonies.

It's an ingredient of the NEW media. Don't expect to say something and totally get away with it without some comments and even disagreements. It's what separates us from the OLD media and talk shows that screen out dissent.

The top of the thread has the audio link.

[chronotrigger]

he just sh*t in his oatmeal......

And took a big bite of it too.

Did he drag down FR or just some FReepers?

You decide for yourself. Have you listened to the clip?

To me his words, when heard in totality, were derogatory to the entire site. If you think I was saying that his catty remarks (brought on most likely by criticism of him that he saw here over time) will negatively effect FR, I don't. This place is as solid as a rock, and his cheesy comments will have absolutely no effect here.

It just showed a side of him that many hadn't seen before. The light of day!

Sometimes I think FR is kooky :o)

Not as kooky as this guy...

[add925]

LOL!

[chronotrigger]

If he doesn't read FR how would he know It had been taken over by fringe groups?

And why doesn't he explain why and how FR is Fringe? Answer: it isn't and he can't.

[1Old Pro]

I agree with Sean as well.

You agree that it's soooo bad here that you haven't visitied here in years and it's much better on Seans forum?

[add925]

Read earlier posts....Sweet Baby James is a FRlurker

[chronotrigger]

What do you think are the chances of an "apology" or clarification today?

Can pigs fly yet?

[beachn4fun]

I listened to him on the radio yesterday. If he dragged down FR I missed that part. I heard him talk about the fringe groups and that some people here (FR) have been moving toward fringe groups. So, to me he is talking about specific people located at FR, not FR itself.

[beyond the sea]

Go to his board if you want one-sided mindless crap from a barely literate brat.

LOL
