I think Sean's succe$$ is starting to screw his thinking up. I pretty much stopped Hannity and Combs because too much of it is staged. I'd like to see Sean H, Ross P. and Pat B. go at just for the heck of it. I think Ross and Pat would eat him alive. That would be worth $25 for an hour to see with no commercials. I wouldn't be interested in who is really right on any topic, would listen though to how each handled it. Rush might even sponsor the program.....OK, I'm weird and now I'm going back in my hole...
You can quote me if you're lurking. Just spell my handle right. That's r-d-b-3, period. </Fred Sanford>
Poor Sean,LOL,he's going to find out what REAL fringers are,very,very soon,if he doesn't ZOT them ASAP! LOL
Ok...calm down everyone. This is an old trick that Hannity has used before. He is trying to get people over to his website to buy books etc.
The option is to freep his board with a lot of fringe stuff. Or simply tell him where he is wrong if you disagree with him.
Loony Todd is over there posting away .. LOL!!
No way I'm fringe.....
I truly am laughing out loud.
He is just mad because I said on FR that his radio show bores me. The TV show is ok but when he and Levin get to bantering back and forth I turn them off. That's weird too because I like Levin on TV.
I have no idea what he said, but it's a pretty fair bet that some Freepers overreacted. Some Freepers overreact to everything.
Your show is derivative of other talk shows. Your forum is a pale imitation of Free Republic. Putting your thumb in the eye of true conservatives isn't a way for you to get ahead.
Oh good grief, LOL! I'd forgotten about that loon.
Frankly, I prefer Colmes to Hannity on the show. I disagree with Colmes all the time, but he's a real gent.

1. Sean has never met an RNC talking point he doesn't like.
2. Free Republic has not only clashes of reasonable opinion, but a lot of unreasonable venting he wouldn't want to be associated with.
In Hannity's perfect world, there would be only broad, enthusiastic amens for each letter of the party line. FR fails to do that, so he sees us as a liability. The lack of interest in independent thought is probably Hannity's biggest weakness as an 'intellectual vanguard' of the conservative movement. Sean's a 'yes man' from way back.
I can sympathize with some of his argument, though. FR is an invaluable online resource, especially in times of crisis, but a lot of the time it's a funhouse cacophony of angry one liners. I probably ignore over 90% of what's written here, because of all the bizzare stuff that is pretty commonplace.
Try and see Hannity's side of it. If he came out and said, 'I'm a FReeper, and proud of it', any enterprising young journalist would have a field day tieing him up with quotes from our blatantly embarrassing members. Imagine this:
"So, Mr. Hannity, numerous people from your 'Free Republic' organization have been quoted as saying 'Nuke MeKKKa!!!' and 'Moose-limbs are an insane murder cult'. Are you comfortable belonging to an organization that tolerates this kind of talk?"
I love FR, and I lurked for years before signing on, but you have to admit, a lot of what gets posted here is shameful and boorish. It detracts from the great resource FR otherwise is. Can you really blame a TV personality for not wanting to be tarred with such a potentially toxic brush?
LOL - Sean is the only guy I've ever heard who can make a Clinton impersonation sound exactly like a Jackie Mason impersonation.
WHY is Hannity sabotaging Free Republic?
So, if I change my name to "fringe people" will I be able to take over this board??
Uh, moderator, how do I go about that?
Hannity is just another tee-vee lunatic fringe person himself, IMHO.
Did you see Laura on O'Reilly when she told him he had forgotten who made him? Bet she won't be invited back!
