"I consider myself a conservative Catholic and consider Hannity a dope, albeit a well-paid and influential dope."
He certainly is a dope (seems he's slow on his feet in an argument, as he reads his cues); I fail to see any influence, though. If anything, his anti-Vatican positions probably helps drive voters into the D column (note the victories by Democrats in "American Catholic" strongholds).
While I also am not impressed by Sean's intellect it is nonsense to charge he is driving anyone to the Democrats because of his religious views.
How do you think the Democrat party survived for 200 years but for the Catholic vote? That has long been the source of its power. It controls almost all major cities because of that power base.
