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.

Whatever you think of Hannity now, without him, Trump would probably not have become president.

I can go through it, but I am not allowed to post the entire article unfortunately. I can give you the overview if you wish.

Choice nibblets would suffice.

He’s an entertainer, that’s all.

Au contraire, mon frère! We're all infotainers.

His take on immigration belies an interest in keeping kids from being exploited or killed. But, hey, he gets cheap farm labor.

I stream Chris Plante every day and I might listen to Dan Bongino from time to time and sometimes a little Matt Walsh on the way home.

Some might find Hannity culpable for the loss of a senate seat in PA pushing Oz, and Fetterman won - the only guy in politics dumber than Xiden.

Rush left behind shoes so big, the other talkers can only stand together in one of them.

Rush told us “where the puck was going” all the time. He could take a new issue, tell you who the key players would be, and what actions they would take about it. He made it look easy. Almost obvious. I took it for granted.

The current crop mostly guesses about “where the puck is going” and then strut around on the rare occassions they get it right.

A few won’t shut up about whatever it was they were doing before a microphone was put it front of them.

It says a lot about how terrible Hannity is when his airhead producer is regarded as the smart one.

The moron hannity got placed into his position by the same folks that fired the late, great Bob Grant. I remember that sad day all too well.

Actual entertainers (even for that purpose) say what must be said, not what they think people want to hear, because what must be said is what people do want to hear.

Remember when Hannity was defending Oprah over a controversy with her school in Africa? He was probably told to do that. Hannity has always been a self-promoter, but I wouldn’t criticize him over the Patriot Act.
