Sean Hannity: The Emptiest Suit of All Empty Suit Talking Heads
PJ Media ^ | 08/19/2023 | Ben Bartee

Posted on 08/19/2023 5:22:22 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

I recently came upon an excellent montage that undeniably lays bare the scam-in-a-suit that is Sean Hannity.

The first half of the clip shows Hannity shilling at the top of his lungs on Fox News for the PATRIOT Act/NSA surveillance in the post-9/11 panic that included, among many other Orwellian provisions, wiretapping of U.S. citizens with no probable cause as required by the Constitution.

The second half shows Hannity turning on a dime once Obama is in office, suddenly developing a deeply-held belief in 4th Amendment protections: “As law-abiding U.S. citizens, you have a right to privacy.”

(I recognize and don’t care that the montage below is produced by leftist Media Matters – an organization that I strongly dislike – because the footage is all real, it speaks for itself, and there’s no editorializing. I am capable of vetting information regardless of its provenance or my own tribal loyalties. If you dig through the archives of Hannity talking about national security over the years, you will discover that he very much changes his tune depending on the current political context.)

The PATRIOT Act and related legislation – at least prior to COVID Public Health™ bio-surveillance regime — was the biggest intrusion into Americans’ constitutionally guaranteed privacy in history, enabled and cheerleaded by none more voraciously than Sean Hannity – at least until the other team took power.

“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” -Benjamin Franklin

Examples of Hannity’s hackiness in service to the corporate state are legion, such as his shameless shilling for Kevin McCarthy prior to his confirmation as Speaker , even when the Freedom Caucus and the GOP br were putting up solid resistance.

Never cared for him. He always blasted through a guests’ response to a question with his own blah blah stuff - always interrupted ...

He pays his taxes too. The Hannity show is great...when there is a guest host.

I liked Hannity a long, long time ago, but he couldn’t hold a candle next to Rush.


Someone like Rush only comes around once a century or so. He was not perfect by any means, but had an amazing fusion of talent and smarts. He is definitely missed. I actually think seeing what was happening to Trump in 2020 hastened his demise.

To be, Hannity will always be a Rush-wannabe, with only a small fraction of his abilities. His annoying, Long Island accent does not help.

Hannity is a fraud.

“On the plus side, Sean Hannity is living proof that you can have no talent, no intelligence, and no self-awareness…and still make it big in America.”

If you tried to say that on his show he would have interrupted you three times before turning it over to Terrell 2.0.

I don’t drive much these days but my car radio is still set to the old Rush station, so once in a while I accidentally listen to Hannity for a minute or two. Almost always, he talking about inanities. His exercise routine. His diet.

He got his start in radio in his college days here in Santa Barbara, where he was ejected from his job at the university radio station after a loud and stinky public reaction to his broadcasts.

They also quit the live toss from The Five to Bret Baier. I think Bret made that call.

I rarely watch Hannity because of his constant interruption of his guests, his questions lasting 2 minutes with no time for an answer from his guest, his never ending re-showing of clips from whatever the libs did wrong, his bragging about himself and his feelings. It actually makes me angry even when I don’t agree with the guest and he interrupts. Just let them answer your long winded question! Geesh.

Like his buddy, John Walsh. Started out doing good work...ended up wearing leather jackets, shades, and calling people punks. And supported an AWB. Cop jock-sniffer.

He probably got tired of having to respond to Gutfeld's potty humor.

I started caring more about what Flipper or some other producer might say on the radio show. But for Rush as a lead-in, I doubt I’d have listened at all.

“Hannity’s a self-important @hole.”

That’s not true. He’s very humble and not afraid to tell you so...repeatedly. /s

True. But he was a little better 20 years ago. Now he made it. He just wants to hang out at the country club and play golf. I don’t really blame Hannity

Like his buddy, John Walsh.

Yeah, well... I give Walsh a pass because the severed head of his six-year-old son was found 100 miles away from where he was last seen, and the rest of his body was never found. Walsh dedicated the rest of his life to catching most-wanted fugitives.

To me, there is no statute of limitations on his grief or how he manages it.

Hannity is all hat and no cattle. Kilmeade is a leftist shill. At least during the day I can hear Dan Bongino and he doesn’t pull punches. Mark Levin’s attack on Southern History and heritage turns me off because he is wrong about much of it and shows his prejudice against Southerners. Leven’s defense of MLK,Jr. is a sellout considering he espouses to know the back history of people. Gorka speaks out his ass and parrot’s Levin’s history against the South. So Bongino is the only one worth IMO with which to listen.
