I went to the Daytona International Speedway today and met Sean Hannity face to face, a friend took me all the way back into the studio that he was airing from today, (Small as a closet) He's a real nice guy and does like the Freepers and Freeping.
He basically said the same thing to me that He said on air about that, doesn't like His friends being slammed here.
He took this picture (from my camera phone) with a sign that says I LOVE FREEPERS with sweet baby james, He also signed my book and a photo.
He is larger/thinner than you think and has a much deeper voice than on radio, He also seems to not be as "sweetsy" (my Girl Friends word) as He comes of on radio. more confident and is a guys guy and real nice. 
Sorry Hannity Haters
Based on some of the responces I have seen here I don't much blame him,..LIGHTEN UP
Hannity does more then not be rude he does not effectively counter their points. Unless he can do that then he should quit having them on.
Sean wants to be liked a little too much.
lol....that is some funny stuff man.
You can say that again.
Oh dear. Just wait until the hannity haters get photoshopping with that photo!
I'M starting to agree DU in hiding??
What is wrong with that picture?
You signed up today.
Aren't he and Ann Coulter friends? She's savaged a few Republicans in her time. Wonder if he doesn't like her anymore either?
Ah, eastern slope. Native? Just curious 'cause I'm from CT originally. The only place on the eastern slope I've been is Denver, and only the airport.

For example, the other night (or last night?), Hannity was interviewing two college kids about the military recruiter who'd been hit on the head and forced off campus. He specifically asked these kids, at least a half a dozen times, if they condone violent behavior. They REFUSED to answer him with a yes or no...instead, they kept repeating that that's "not even the issue." Hannity said that IS an issue, and asked repeated his question if they thought it was right to throw things at people with whom they disagreed. Still no answer. Does that not say volumes about them? BTW, they are part of some kind of socialist group at the college. What impression do you think they made for their socialist organization? Not very positive, I can tell you that much.
The picture is very nice, but I'm not impressed.
The damage has been done.
Hannity tells a few million people that we are a bunch of vicious backbiters, when that couldn't be farther from the truth.
And I am supposed to be mollified by a handwritten note that might be seen by what, a few hundred people?
We helped to make Drudge, and he thanked us by taking us off his list of sites on his homepage because of the actions of a few.
We held Clinton accountable and helped the impeachment to become a reality, and some, like the Adams, Don and Teri, paid mightily for that.
We helped turn the tide in 2000 against Algore stealing the election in Florida.
We exposed the CBS lie about George Bush's ANG record, when CBS tried to influence a presidential election with bogus letters.
And we helped make history in 2004 by our support,verbally and financially of the Swift Boat Vets, and of speaking to our fellow church and family members about what was at stake in this election. History will occur now that would never have happened if George Bush was not re-elected.
And we helped make Hannity through our support of his radio show, TV show, and buying his books.
And like Drudge, this is how we are recognized and thanked.
Everyone who posts on FR comes under attack at one time or another. Like iron sharpens iron, this is how truth emerges and skills are honed in the debate to shape and preserve our beloved Republic.
Sean said terrible things about FR that were completely out of proportion, and branded us all as right wing nuts.
Signing a piece of paper doesn't cut it.
He can fix it the same way he started it--tell his few million listeners that FR is a great bastion of conservative thought and a cyber meeting place of peopl who love this country and its founding principles.
Until then, all of the cellphone camera shots don't mean a thing to me.
His LIEberman is awesome, but his Michael Jackson is enough to get you dying laughing.
Tomorrow...must be from overseas.

This is the internet. What are you going to do? There's no stopping some guy with a wild hair short of deleting the post. As long as the poster is within the FR rules why censor him? Should the mods zot people who don't toe some party line?
I've been around politics a long time and I'm aware when someone is trying to manipulate his base or what he thinks should be his base and that's exactly what I see in this whole episode.
I don't have anything personal against Hannity but this business is a little over the top and I don't think we should take it seriesly.
FR is my political home and I would hate to see it become embroiled in some drama that essentially is a personality contest.
Nope, originally from Illinois. I miss home but am glad to be in a red state now. Even if it's just barely.
Repeating the same question over and over is not countering the point. You research before hand and find out what other violent activity that group or other anti-war groups are involved with and use that to counter them.
I heard his Jack Nicholson for the first time today. The voice, the attitude, perfect.
