(Admin Moderator -- please leave in Breaking News. Hannity holding up a FReeper sign is big breaking news after the recent little battle.)
===================================================
FReeper blurblogger just dropped me off a few minutes ago. We were at the 4-hour event in Redondo Beach, CA put on by the KABC talk show hosts.
When blurblogger gets home, he will be posting an amazing photo. He and I are in a picture with Sean Hannity, and Sean is holding up a sign that says I LOVE FREEPERS.
What a fun event. Doug McIntyre, Larry Elder, Al Rantel, Mr. KABC, Sean Hannity, and new overnight host Kevin James put on a great show for us. There were some sparks between McIntyre and Elder over free trade, outsourcing, and tariffs. There were also some sparks involving the lone liberal on the stage, Mr. KABC.
There were boos when DemocRATS were mentioned.
Although we disagree politically, I am going to give big kudos to the MC, Brian Whitman. Brian is indeed a lovable liberal. He was a little upset a few weeks ago when someone reported to him that I had called him a Kneepad Knight. Hey, it was in good fun. Just like Monica was literally on her kneepads, the liberals were figuratively doing the same for their guy. Brian accepted my explanation, and we are friends again.
For those who listen to Hannity on Friday afternoon, it is Brian Whitman doing the voices of Bush 41, Bush 43, Michael Jackson, and the guy who got impeached. Brian is funny as hell and is a great talent. If more libs had his talent and sense of humor, perhaps we would get along better. His Michael Jackson stuff is superb.
Blurblogger brought some sign material in his car, and got it and his magic marker at a break. We managed to eventually work our way to a front row seat and were in position to get with Hannity at a break. I introduced myself as FReeper Doug, and he asked why I haven't called in for awhile. Hey, I've tried, but the line is always busy.
Sean autographed blurblogger's I LOVE FREEPERS sign, and a guy took our picture with Sean holding it.
Look, if someone comes on this thread to bash Hannity, I am going to find you and rip your throat out. Really. Go do your own thread. Yes, Sean promotes his books. Good for him. That's capitalism, and you would promote yours if you had a book and marketing sense. I promoted my book, A CHILD'S EYE VIEW OF JOHN KERRY, by giving a few copies to them.
Sean is a great ally on our side. He exposes the left's hypocrisy, uses their own words against them, and gets in their faces. He also has helped raise millions of dollars for families of fallen warriors.
Good news for us, uncleshag. Sean is waiting for his copy of YOU'VE BEEN FREEPED, Vol. 1. So is Whitman.
By far the biggest round of applause during the evening was for a member of the audience. Captain Michael Pierce is returning to Mosul on Friday. He thought he had a month off, but they cut it two weeks short. There was a big time standing O for the captain. At the end of the program, he was called up on stage. Michael happened to be at the Hollywood FReep recently. Godspeed, Michael. Go kick some more butt and make it home safely.
Did any other FReepers attend?
Stay tuned. The picture will probably be up by about midnight.
Well at least Sean knows that us FReeper ladies thought he should have been in Playgirl Magazine instead of the HORRIBLE the AWFUL the TROLLISH Keith Olberman.
Great post. Thanks. Go Sean!
Ratings just come out?
Keep your eye on 'Satan's Daughter', though.
You know what's coming in 2008.
I love Sean. I just can't stand when he lets the liberals linger too long. I have to turn it off. It is the only liberal kill button on the darn thing.
Well put. Disagree with someone, whether it's Sean, another conservative of note, or a FReeper by discussing issues and why you disagree. Do NOT use name-calling or attack the other's intelligence, character, or integrity.
When someone on another thread had posted something trashing Sean, I posted the following:
Instead of forming a circular firing squad with other conservatives, would you be so kind as to consider whether to direct rhetorical fire at Al Franken or some other liberal?
And, if you have a disagreement about this issue or that issue with a conservative C1, would you kindly consider whether conservatism is best advanced by saying "I disagree with C1 on the issue of ________" or by saying "C1 is a spoiled brat of a wimp because of his wrong stand on ________?"
Thanks for at least considering which course of action will best advance our beloved country towards wanted goals.
BTW, what is "You've Been FReeped, vol. 1?"
We ARE on the same team!
Hey Sean, look for me. I'll be wearing a "Let's Roll" t-shirt!
I didn't see you in any of the pics. Were you out surfing again...
Thanks for posting! Looks like you had a great time.
WONDERFUL! How I wish I could've been there. Thanks for the great photos... glad you had a great time. I'll ping my lists here.

Can anyone name 1 so called MAIN Stream Right Wing Media
personality
(we know Russert on tv and Imus on radio from the Left have)
that has asked,
in 2005,
these questions?
"Asked Kerry when he will sign Form 180.
(Even though President Bush signed his Form 180)
Or how could Kerry have a top secret clearance,
and access to US intelligence
WITHOUT revealing ALL his military records to the US Senate
Who in the US Senate has seen ALL of Kerry's military records?
Who, in the US Senate, gave him his top secret clearance?
Or why Kerry is still in the US Senate.
This is in violation of
U.S. Constitution Amendment 14 Sec 3
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.amendmentxiv.html
Or when Kerry will set the record straight
on his false testimony in April 71"

I saw that last night. What a wonderful moment. I missed the first mention of him, as I was en route to the Center. I have a great time, hope there are more pictures downthread.
Brought books of Hannity (Deliver) and Elder (10 Things). Met Elder, he signed my book with "Hard work wins!" (as per my request) Also met the "Chief Justice" (Larry's mother).
