Al-Husainy was a guest. This was the Islamic cleric that gave a prayer invocation at the DNC Winter meeting this last Friday. Sean was at his best attempting to get a yes or no answer out of the cleric. The cleric was at times incomprehensible and even managed a humerous literal "you talkin to me" moment that just cracked me up!
Not a single one of them got up and walked out when this clown inferred that we were occupiers and oppressors of the world.

good for Sean, but generally speaking, his "yes or no" questioning method is grating on my ears. that's not a discussion worth hearing.
he'll ask some damning question, which if answered either way makes the interviewee look stupid... and then he moves on to the next guest.
for minutes at a time he'll yell out "yes or no! yes or no!" trying to shout down the guest.
admittedly most of the guests he interviews in this matter are lowlifes, but the whole schtick is tiresome.
Hannity is not that intelligent. Can you imagine William F. Buckley doing that?
Oh I disagree entirely. Sean knows America wants to here convictions from people and when they cannot answer a simple yes or no it speaks volumes.
motife: What time is your show on? Who are your guests? How long have you been on the radio? Do you make any money at it?
LOL

Did Buckley ever capture an audience? I hardly remember him at all.
I do recall trying to understand what the hell he was saying and whether I should agree with it or not.
Is he still alive............???
You could not do what he does. It's a LOT harder than it looks.
You didn't answer.
What time is your radio show on?
How about your TV show?
How large is your audience??????
LOL.
Every time Buckley spoke, I always felt that either he, or I, had Alzheimer's. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
Howard Dean has to be crapping in his pants tonight if he saw Al-Husainy's perforance on Sean Hannity.
Pertinent questions
Is it on Youtube yet?
Buckley is alive and well and happily retired in Switzerland, IIRC, or maybe France, hobnobbing with the suave and nuanced euro-continentals.
What time is your radio show on?
How about your TV show?
How large is your audience??????
LOL."
I was waiting for your all caps, "yes or no?! yes or no?!"
I'm a Hannity Insider subcriber, but I'm getting tired of him. You don't learn much listening to Sean. Too much heat, not enough light thrown on issues.
I never get tired of Rush.
Bill Buckley is still alive, though he's become increasingly eccentric over the years, ala Barry Goldwater. His "Firing Line" show when it was on, was at times the best television on the air. I subscribed to transcipts of the show, and rarely missed one. Despite having some a lot of left wing loudmouths on his show, the discussion was almost always civil. It was practically impossible not to be civil in Buckley's presence, unless you were Gore Vidal.
that is flat out hillarious....thx
It happened to you too? Thank God, I thought I was going nuts.
your response confirmes I'm not nuts either.........lol
