Hannity at it again(live thread 3/01/06)

3/1/06

[Dane]

Didn't see any live thread started to day for Hannity's show.

Hannity's "points" today. He agrees with Corzine's lawsuit, that got shot down today and also pushing the Israel angle, while he is silent that a official arm of the UK Govt. the Church of England synod, has also called for a boycott of Israel.

strategic importance of the UAE

---

Just as the leaders of Iraq have stated they will not sanction attacks against Syria or Iran from Iraq by the US..... you can expect the same from the UAE.

That means zero strategic importance.

"He was on fire about the ports deal. If Hannity is off the Bush reservation on this..."

I'm in the minority here on FR but I'm with Hannity on this.

[Zechariah11]

If you think Hannity is bad, try listening to Bennett's program at 5:30am -- muxh worse. That program is sloooooooowwww and boring. I can at least listen to Sean for three minutes before I turn the dial.

If memory serves me correctly, TWA 800 blew up over the Atlantic due to a problem of some sort with it's fuel tank.. This was a conclusion of the TSA & FBI? Is there more to this story?

TWA 800 blew up over the Atlantic, however (as a former 747 pilot) I assure you that it was not due to a mechanical problem with the fuel tank. The government produced simulation aired on all the major networks at the time showing a "zoom climb" following the departure of the nose of the aircraft was aerodynamically absurd. Flight 800 was downed by an external object, though I cannot say whether this was a terrorist missle, an off target military drone. Jim Saunders believes the former; several of our former employees - retired naval officers, believe it was the latter.

Sean was ok when he was part of a small group, but there are so many good hosts out there, he's barely top 10 IMO.

But he's got the audience.

I really like Glenn Beck, he cracks me up.

[TAdams8591]

He's free to give his opinions on political issues. That's what he gets paid to do. You can complain, but they will laugh at you. They aren't going to take your complaint seriously.

[claudiustg]

Yeah, I'm sure they're laughing at all us former listeners.

[mnehring]

So why haven't the hundreds of TSA & FBI agents, as well as the thousands of others who have access to the information, come out about this? Is there something keeping these hundreds, or thousands of people quiet?

[Vicomte13]

I don't think that the British particularly CARE that folks label them "imperialists". There isn't much overhanging guilt in Britain that would cause them to particularly care about Israel.

I smell a ratman

Fee Fi Fo Fum!:)

[Skeptical constituent]

So appropriate. He can never talk to a caller or a guest, or discuss a subject without somehow injecting himself into the conversation or making himself the issue. I believe he is a good person, and he is usually on the right (correct) side of the political spectrum. But he is too self centered to be taken as seriously as he takes himself.

[mnehring]

Hannity is going to hate this, but Israel just endorsed the deal and praised DPI..

[Vicomte13]

Really?
Wow. There is some HEAVY DUTY political arm twisting going on in the background for that to have happened.

[mnehring]

or 'conventional wisdom' is wrong on the deal...
