Richard Belzer Unloads a ‘Heil Hannity’ Salute on Fox News (Richard Belzer "BELCHER")
NewsBusters.org ^ | Tim Graham

Sean Hannity invited radical-left actor Richard Belzer to his "Great American Panel" on February 13, and Belzer was hardly returning the honor. After Belzer tried to play professor and suggest that Reaganism was Hobbesian and "antitheticallly opposed" to John Locke and Jefferson, he raised his hand to interrupt, and then decided to offer his other arm in a "Heil Hannity" salute. When will lefties stop comparing conservatives to Nazis? Here's how Belzer greeted Sean's discussion of the "We're All Socialists Now" cover of Newsweek:

SEAN HANNITY: The headline is we're all socialists. This is the single biggest spending bill in the history of this country, transfer of wealth to the government.

RICHARD BELZER: Right.

This was probably his high career point, the 1975 cult hit The Groove Tube. Featured Chevy Chase before SNL, and was a precursor to the low budget assembled short comedy skits as a movie trend.

I saw that episode...Belzer clearly wanted to create “a moment” and take on Sean, and as a result he cut off and interrupted the other panelists. He came off as rude and incoherent. I don’t know much of him, but I believe that may be his general demeanor.

Sean’s “Great American Panel” is a highlight of the show in those episodes I have seen, but will cease to be so if he keeps inviting people that do not intend to add any meaningful comments and make it about them (like that dope Gilbert Gottfried).

That was his high water point, so, as you can imagine, you didn’t miss much.

It would seem so.

comparing conservatives to Hitler?!?!

Hitler was a pagan, a vegetarian, A socialist, A utopian. He surrounded himself with gays. He thought schools should indoctrinate kids and that only his believes should be allowed in the media. Obviously Hitler was a liberal Democrat. May I also remind people that Mussolini started out as a socialist and started his Fascist party from the socialist party.

I have to slightly correct you, as I corrected people who said some of John McCain's moves made him seem clueless. McCain was clueless, his moves revealed that. Dittos with Belzer. While he came off as rude and incoherent, it revealed his personality. He came off as himself.

Agree with your observations, though.

True. The liberal elites know what they are doing is socialist but the everyday run of the mill liberal idiot, aka useful idiot, doesn’t have a clue. They fall for the liberal linguistics and spout “fairness” and “change” and have no idea what it means.

We know Obama eats one hundred dollar a pound beef. But beyond that there is no difference.

You wouldn't think it, but John Gibson has a great talk show. His talk show is far, far better than his show on Fox.

Lately, he's been confronting the idea that Obama can't be criticized around African Americans because of his race and the conversations he has on the subject have been truly eye-opening.

His style of direct engagement of a topic is perfect for talk radio.

Liberals are the most selfish people on earth. They are the crows that pick the meat from better men than themselves.

it never ceases to amaze, that such a large group of Jewish folks are ready to jump into cattle cars.

One problem with calling conservatives Nazis.

Nazis referred to the National Socialists party.

Conservatives favor small federal government.

So obviously the DemocRAT party is a better match.

He’s a detective on Dick(less) Wolf’s oh, so liberal L&O SVU. But how many real-life policemen oppose the death penalty, decry gun rights, support radical organizations and are so anti-life that they call a fetus “the product of conception”? A walking “Picture of Dorian Gray” indeed, the personification of evil!

Re: “I started listening to Mark Levin on Sirius radio. He sure doesn’t mince words and I admire him for that.”

************

Levin is my hero — he really calls it as he sees it and is so super smart. Best three hours of radio here in Los Angeles for my money! So glad he replaced Al Rantel, seriously. I was missing Larry Elder but Levin is a terrific replacement.

what happened to Al? He was right on most stuff but his homosexuality has wrecked havok on his soul.

Not sure if Belzer is still married to a woman I went to high school with or not — she was in all the theater arts plays and such, pretty girl, and went into soft porn “work” for awhile after graduation from what I heard.

Perfect for Belzer, yes?
