Hannity Blasts FreeRepublic (maybe he is right)

Radio | Sean Hannity

[jbstrick]

Hannity just stated on his radio show that he has just about had enough of the conservative cannibals on this board. To many threads end up being ledd about news and information and more about attacking fellow conservatives.

He said if he wants to get attacked he will go to a Liberal board.

I have a tendency to agree...

[Joe Driscoll]

He specifically referred the fact that freepers have attacked him.

He can't be a long time Freeper. Every experienced Freeper knows that if you are going to whine and threaten to leave the correct term is

LOL!

Holy cow, are you, like, a cyber Rod McKuen or what? Eeeeshhh! V's wife.

[Johnny Shear]

I'll take Hannity's vision of Free Republic over the vision of Whack-Job, Conspiracy Believing, Savage Nation Loving Kooks ANY day of the week.

Michael Savage is a loud-mouthed bafoon who is too cowardly to allow decenting calls on his pathetic show! The other day he said that if he had the power, he would lock-up ANY "Liberal Reporter" in the United States and try them for treason.

Savage needs to just go start his own White Supremist country and get it over with. He most certainly DOESN'T represent MY county!!!

Hannity is philosophically sound and intellectually challenged. He's dumber than Dan Quayle.

It's too bad you've bought into the Dems' BS about Dan Quayle. He was one of the best and the brightest of the young Republicans. The Dems recognized that and kneecapped him. "He can't spell potato." The damn teacher held up a queue card for him with the spelling she must have been teaching and he read it. Big deal! At least you and the media thought it was. Quayle was either the youngest, or among the youngest committee chairmen in US Senate history. One doesn't achieve something like that by being a standard for "dumbness."

As for Hannity, I agree. His heart may be in the right place, but there isn't much up there between the ears. I've said it before, but it bears repeating: the next original thought he has will be his first. (Compare with Rush who must average an original idea per show.)

What exactly has Hannity said about things like the Foster death? I'll tell you what: Nothing! I know because I've spoken to him about it. He considers discussing the Foster case a career limiting move. He has also said nothing about TWA 800? The guy is a fricking Long Islander for heavens sake. I would guess that he is acquainted with more than one witness. But he says nothing. What has he said about Waco? Instead he talks about anything to do with race or sex, and if he can't find something like that in the news, he bashes Hillary. I guess that's a safe topic. I almost always turn the radio off a few minutes into his show.

What a dumb reply. That has nothing to do with the issue. Are we going to be just like the Clinton supporters and support anything our guy(Bush)does or are we going to expect him to do what he campaigned on. Do we hold him to conservative positions or just go blindly along because we need a hero to worship and never question.

[willyone]

No point arguing with a Texan. They sit on their brains all day. How dare you question anything his hero GW proposes like legalizing millions of illegal aliens and opening the borders. Take away 9/11 and there is not much Bush can hide behind. I like the guy,voted for him and contributed to him and get Christmas cards from him. Still I do not have to worship him. Some of you must be looking for a surrogate dad.

[Vinomori]

I agree with you....I will hold my tongue about Quayle...I did not think his was extremely bright, but not to the degree that the Dems demozied him, so I will cease and desist. (I think Bush Sr. was cynical in choosing him as a running mate because of his youth and looks...it wasn't quite fair to him either, he wasn't ready for that quick catapult into comparisons with Jack Kennedy.)

[willyone]

Savage is all show biz. He was a liberal in high school. But he makes sense on alot of things and you always have the option of not listening. Which you would not have with other programs if Hillary had her way.

[Vinomori]

in the future: Hannity? He's dumber than Ted Kennedy.

[ml/nj]

it wasn't quite fair to him either, he wasn't ready for that quick catapult into comparisons with Jack Kennedy.

You mean he wasn't a master of the sharp one-liner. You can be sure that Benston was coached by some form-over-substance Carville type. My opinion is that Quayle was the sharpest of the four running in '88. Even today there aren't many people on the political scene that I would rate ahead of him in intelligence. (Bill Bennett is one.) Quayle's comments about the Murphy Brown thing may have been ridiculed at the time by the demagogues. He never backed down and now nearly everyone agrees with him now. Pick another politician who could start, and start on the "wrong" side of national debate, and prevail. I cannot remember any other since Reagan.

Now that, is uncalled for.

[Old philosopher]

Put on your asbestos underwear, the Bush Bots will have their flame throwers out after you.

Your comments are right in line with my own opinions, and I get flamed almost every time I express them.

Keep your powder dry and you eyes wide open.

[Vinomori]

You mean he wasn't a master of the sharp one-liner.

Right. He wasn't quick. But I agree that he was sound and strong mentally and he was unwavering. I admire him. And I do stand instructed and corrected by your posts about him.

[Robert Drobot]

Reply eight hundred and eighty-four. From out of the blue, you stand to object to an argument raised on another thread, no one will ever read, because the Admin Moderator pulled it commenting this thread covered the same issue. ( now that's a FR first - no more threads focusing on the same issue - a good example: The control of the board on the Catholic priest issue. NOT!!! )

So blow your fools gold bud, it's worth as much here as anywhere else. Your world of words, bring a smile to my face. The joker's wild. Who let the joker out?

[kcpopps]

I have a very good memory; however, I do seem to have some sort of a " black hole ", where it concerns candidate Bush claiming that he was going to " make government smaller ". Can you help me out here ?

Sure no problem. Maybe this will help your foggy memory.

"The surest way to bust this economy is to increase the role and the size of the federal government."
George W. Bush - Source: Presidential debate, Boston MA Oct 3, 2000.

"I am a conservative because I believe government should be limited and efficient, that it should do a few things and do them well."
George W. Bush - Book: A Charge to Keep, William Morrow, 1999.

Of course there are more, but I sure you do not wish to hear them. They might stick in your "selective memory".

[nopardons]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ... good quotes ; however, NOT what I asked for, at all. Nowhere, in those quoted remarks, did candidate Bush claim that he was actually going to do anything about making government smaller . He did say, and get passed, a tax cut.

No, I don't have a " selective memory ". Neither do I take as gospel, something which is only inferred. :-)

[Consort]

Regarding the first Bush quote: If Bush declared that he was going to shrink government, he would have "Mondaled" himself and lost in a landslide.

Regarding the second quote: If the new Homeland Security Agency actually consolidates all those existing related agencies as he wants to do, then that could be the start of something small.

[kcpopps]

Neither do I take as gospel, something which is only inferred. :-)

OK lets parse words...yes... someone tell us what the meaning of "is" is. That doesn't get by for me.

inferred:To conclude from evidence; to reason from circumstance; surmise.

I guess I'll just stick with my original opinion and you keep yours.
Cheers.

I think MM is right. Nothing does more harm than a Republican President pushing liberal ideas. At least, with Clinton, the Republicans opposed most of his liberal ideas, if for no other reason than political gain.
