"'You are the worst excuse for a journalist I've ever seen'"
In an epic interview for the ages, a Democratic congressman unloaded on Fox News anchor Sean Hannity Tuesday night with a non-stop verbal assault on the popular host.
Hannity opened up a segment on President Obama’s tactics regarding budget issues by saying, “Our alarmist in chief, President Panic himself, he did not feel the need to be at the White House today, nor did he think it was important enough to visit Capitol Hill and try to hammer out a bipartisan solution to the mess that he himself has put the country in.”
He showed a montage of recent Obama remarks with a soundtrack of ominous music behind it.
Hannity then introduced U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., the first Muslim ever elected to Congress, who took little time to insult the program’s host.
“Quite frankly, you are the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen,” Ellison told Hannity at the outset.
“What you just displayed was not journalism. It was yellow journalism. It wasn’t anything close to try to tell the American people what’s really going on. It’s just shocking to me.”
“Yellow journalism?” responded Hannity. “To play Obama in his own words is yellow journalism?”

AND Ellison went to school and GREW UP IN DETROIT... a city run FOR and BY Democrats. A city that showcases the brilliance of democrat ideas in action... and ONLY democrat ideas...
Hannity should send him a copy of his book and a gift certificate to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.
Well stated, Laz. Ellison is a little boy and a dumbass.
I’m really surprised someone hasn’t taken him down a few notches. The influence peddling can’t be too far from the surface with this guy.
Wish I had a link to the old Monty Pythin skit - The Argument Clinic. Ellison wouod fit right in. He must praise allah 5 times a day for low information voters.
bump to the top
He was a spokesman for Farrakhan.

Is that the district that got loaded up with Somali refugees a few years back? They vote early and often, iirc.
Somalis are all over the Midwest, in Mpls, St. Paul, Sioux Falls, Des Moines, etc.
