Thanks for that ping, prairie, to MinuteGal's excellent analysis of Sean in general and his cheap shot today.
It was done deliberately to turn people away from FR because he knews, as does ABC's Note which made comments about FR today, that we have the best researchers on the web, as evidenced by Minute Gal's post (#716).
I rarely watch the evening shout shows as they add little value, imo, but the times I have watched Sean I've been unimpressed. Freepers could debate with more intelligence and deliberation than Sean does. When I have watched, I've found myself shouting the answer Sean SHOULD have given to the leftist he's interviewing. He doesn't have enough facts at his disposal and doesn't do his homework.
And for Sean to say that Freepers eat their own, what does he think he just did to the conservative movement? He certainly didn't add anything to it by trying to turn people to what I gather is some new site he's launched which, if it's as uninformed as his shows, will NOT help our cause.
He's jealous, imo.
I have always been careful not to criticize Hannity because I really did admire his work on behalf of the Bush campaign. Rush has never put forth that kind of effort.
Today I was just stunned by his characterization of FR. He sounded exactly like a typical leftist, marginalizing the majority by using the minority as his evidence. I'm not sure who he will attract with his slight, but I'm sure he's lost some audience today.
