It is unfortunate that he tied the two together (promoting his site while communicating his dissapointment with FR), but I don't think it warrants the reaction of many on this thread. If people want Sean to take their unkind comments about him and his intelligence and his show and his family with a grain of salt, they need to take his comments with a grain of salt also.

Many FReepers got a big head about FR after the Rathergate exposure, and it's unfortunate. I think Sean's comments could help FR become a better place if people would take his comments at face value, rather than reading a whole ton of stuff into them that wasn't there.

Both FR and conservative talk show hosts like Hannity have their place in spreading and promoting conservatism, and I thank God for both. It just makes me sad to see them criticizing each other; it doesn't do any good for our common cause.

Oh, please Freepers did not get a big head after rathergate. We had big heads many years before that. I listened to Sean's audio. Am I wrong that FR is the biggest conservative blog/news forum? And he just happened to criticize FR while hawking his own site? As for his claim of "childish comments" and "eating our own" I say guilty, but on what open forum will you not get arguments and some immature remarks? I think Sean was referring to criticism of him, but mostly he was trying to make Freepers think he has a better site.

And how shameless is he suggesting that you're going to meet the guy or gal of your dreams on his blog site?

Agreed. Maybe I'd feel a little more outrage if people hadn't been taking pot shots at Sean for months. Certainly not all in this thread were a part of it, but when Sean becomes the favorite whipping boy I don't think people can credibly cry if he takes a shot back.

Now I do think he was dead wrong to be so broad in his complaint, and to tie with his board was very poor taste. I think he deserves some hits for these actions. Just not the level to which it has grown.

I think everyone needs to take two steps back, realize we need each other, and stop trying to do the Leftists work for them.

Common cause:

You'd like to think there is such a thing. Obviously Sean has no such concept. Somebody on FR dished The Great Sean some shit and now the whole site is worthy of his contempt.

Thus he proves he is a self promoting piece of shit with no regard for The Cause.

I curse you Sean Hannity for the traitor you are. Conservatism is just a way to make a buck for you. It is obvious. Give my regards to lizardhead.

Rush is no better. He promots only himself.

Here's a clue for you: we've been doing the same thing for over six years.

And how would you know who got what, since you got here AFTER the fact.

Ironic isn't it? Hannity complaining about us eating our own as he eats us on the air. What an ass.
