Hannity’s cackling while Paul was trying to answer was classless and beneath contempt.

Actually, it showed that Hannity isn't secure in his own positions. He was a cheerleader for invading Iraq, and it's now been shown to be a mistake. Now he's cheerleading for invading Iran - and he doesn't want to be challenged, because he knows there are very strong arguments against such a radical action.

So it's a matter of fact now? I'm confident that history will just the Jihad appeasers very harshly.

At least one of those incidents was the leftwing mayor.

No ... it simply showed that Sean Hannity isn’t really the best conservative representative in a debate. Hannity is usually right on the issues, but he’s not a great debater, not a terribly independent thinker, and not the smartest pundit we’ve got.

Look, I like Hannity. He’s a good guy. He’s great at spouting the party line, and giving a string of platitudes to support his position. But, he cannot think on his feet, and is entirely incapable of coming up with an argument that hasn’t been fed to him by someone else. As such ... right or wrong, he’s just not a terribly good debater.

Don’t allow the possibility that Sean Hannity lost a debate to convince you that Hannity is necessarily wrong. He’s just not a good debater.

LOL! That's funny.

I am not a fan of Sean Hannity, but the "it's been shown to be a mistake" remark is, IMHO, very premature. It presumes a knowledge of what the situation would be like if Saddam were still in power and providing training and safe haven to Al Qaida, Libya was still operating their WMD project, and Iran were not facing a couple hundred thousand US troops and sailors on all sides.

I keep thinking that the same "it's hopeless" logic could easily have been applied to every war this country has fought. The battles of Long Island (Revolution), Canada (1812), the first three plus years of the Civil War, Guadalcanal, and the Pusan perimeter (Korea) were all either disasters or very near misses.

If ever anyone needed to see evidence that the modern Republican party has lost all touch with reality, one need only look at the responses of the anti-Paul mouth-foamers to this comment of yours.
