And, Free Republic has never been about anything but free debate which Hannity should LOVE.

I've listened to his show a few times. I'm afraid I don't any more. He's given to inviting people who have a different viewpoint from his to his show and ambushing them. He uses tricks and tactics, changes the subject when the other side may score a point, yells over the guest, interrupts when he perceives the guest is about to make a sensible statement then moves to a strawman or a emotional appeal.

Listening to him, I'm reminded of how liberals debate. It appears that he isn't interested in really discussing an idea and its plus and minus points. The man is easily threatened, easily excitable and apparantly has little reasoning behind his positions, framing his debates on the "feeling" level.

An irrational conservative is no different from a liberal as far as I'm concerned. Either ideas work when they're examined closely or they don't, and when that examination is blocked that's clear evidence they don't.

He probably should smoke a joint before he goes on the air. Safer than Prozac.

Your and your guests' shouting-and-talking-over-each-other ratings strategy is passé, Sean. Just as "pinging" (same as shouting) on this board is fast becoming passé. O'Reilly better calm down, too. I don't tune in to you guys any longer.
