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

If your country provides two of the nineteen 9-11 terrorists, you get a Port deal. Provide 15, and you get tender wet kisses.

Tony Snow mentioned Hannity this morning...I think that is who Hannity is referring to as a talking point Republican.....him and Rush...but Hannity isn't bold enough to mention Snow or Rush.....

I'll be at an Ollie book signing tomorrow night in town; I'll see if I can have a second to ask his thoughts..

[OldFriend]

I just play my new Barry Manilow CD......awesome!!!!

[pookie18]

He needs to book someone on his show with opinions different than his...I suggest, Rush or Tony Snow or O'Reilly, or Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Franks, Pace, etc., ad nauseum...

[LibertyLee]

I've had it with Sean. I'd rather discuss this with sofaman than just be smacked down by Sean...

[indcons]

The UAE is part of the Arab cabal that demands that Israel be destroyed...only Jordan has accepted Israel's right to exist. There is a difference, you see?

Comparing the unofficial US boycott of France with the hate-filled boycott of Israel by the UAE is not the same thing. I hope you do realize the obvious difference.

I have a question. Ill try to explain this the best I can.

Many of the products that we buy in the U.S. are made in China. China does not recognize the Independence of Taiwan. Taiwan is an ally to the US, like Israel, and many would want to defend Taiwan from China if it is attacked yet people like Hannity buy goods from stores like Target and Walmart that are made in China.

So why is he willing to do business with China and not with the UAE because of an issue of recognition?

why is it that the vast majority of American ports are operated by foreign-owned companies?

Senator Allen asked this question straight out at the hearings yesterday. Someone on the panel answered quite simply. The profit margins in the business are slim and the tax burden leveled on an American company renders it unprofitable. Taxes and the unions pushed American companies out of the business.

Germany "provided" several of the 9/11 bombers also. I guess they're out, too.

[Dane]

Ok, after reading a few more of your posts it is clear that in your efforts to defend the ports deal, you have added a new slander to your arsenal by suggesting that the UAE is no more anti-semitic than that hotbed of jew-hate, Great Britain. There are arguments to be made in support of Bush that don't require you to so eagerly descend into the gutter

Huh, I ain't part of the Church of England synod(official UK religion) that voted to call for a boycott of Israel.

[eureka!]

"They all jumped on the bandwagon too soon and can't figure out a way to gracefully jump off."

Agreed.

[Not A Snowbird]

didn't he yesterday say he would hold off on any more judgment until the 45 day review process was over?

Yep, that's what he said. He sounded patient and rational yesterday, so something's got him spooled up.

I still don't see how 45 days of congressional blowhards grandstanding is a better review than the review and green light already given by the US Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security among others....

Nor do I. Nobody's going to believe it was a good review, because the process is going to be confidential and the documents aren't going to be handed to the New York Times. (Well, not officially, anyway.)

[Sammie42]

I agree, very disappointed that he is alienating a portion of his audience.

Have we been hijacked??

The New Year's Day incident

On New Year's Day 1965 Soupy, miffed at having to work on the holiday, ended his live broadcast by encouraging his young viewers to tiptoe into their still-sleeping parents' bedrooms and remove those "funny green pieces of paper" from their pants and pocketbooks. "Put them in an envelope and mail them to me," Soupy allegedly instructed the children. "And you know what I'm going to send you? A post card from Puerto Rico!" In his 2001 autobiography Soupy Sez! My Life and Zany Times, Soupy admits it is true. He was suspended by the station for two weeks for encouraging children to steal. Soupy received $80,000 from viewers, mostly in play money. Any real money was donated to charity.........

He said he wanted a review. He's getting it. Move on until something comes out of the review.

What, he's criticizing other republicans. Doubtful Ronald Reagan would be doing that. Shame shame Sean. If you're going to constantly call yourself a Ronald Reagan conservative, then you have to live up to the idea.

Huh, I ain't part of the Church of England synod(official UK religion) that voted to call for a boycott of Israel.

Please, this new Britain-bashing angle of yours is probably even beneath you. Nobody is falling for it, so why persist?
