ChicagoRighty, Hard to say how much it cost Hannity, all I know is Free Republic is a powerful group of collective individuals who have a common thread that binds us. Our motives here at Free Republic are not profit, or media ratings...it is love of country and a sense of values.

What it really cost Hannity? He lost some Respect from Free Republic, and possibly some viewers.

I agree. I would add that in the year or so that I had been "lurking" and then the 6 months since I've become a member, I've seen a lot of folks 'go south' on Sean, without this sort of comment.

I'd say that this will push many of us away from caring at all what he says. That has to cost him viewers, buyers of his books, etc.
