Hannity bashes Free Republic (February 2005)

[1Old Pro]

Just now on his radio show...says we taken over by fringe people

listen to the audio

[LowInMo]

Yes, all the way to the bank for now. But it still may come back to bite him in the a$$.

[demlosers]

Sean Sean... I listen all the time. Do promote your site but it's seen as bad form to dis-supporters of you. We're on the same team.

Little old me has been flamed many times here, it's no big deal. LoL!

[Coleus]

I listen to Kevin too; he's also a freeper.

[Major_Risktaker]

"Are you listening to Batchelor?"

Batchelor is the way to go. I listen to him everynight and he is outstanding.

Well now Hannity, what to do.

On the flip side, Hannity is very passionate about what he does and I'll give him that. However, his debate style is viscous and non-informative when interviewing no-name socialist.

For example the Texas professor a month ago and this Indian who supports Churchill.

I would have liked to hear their position in their own words instead of Hannity interrupting every 10 seconds and not letting his guess dig themselves into a intellectual hole.

You know "We report You Decide"

Hannity styles and tone reminded me of the executioner/inquisitioner at the end of Mel Gibson's Braveheart.

The time-line during William Wallace's was questioned about his treason to "Longshanks" Edward I, while captured in handcuffs: Hannity said "Do you confess...DO YOU CONFESS!"

Well, it sound like Hannity during his direct Q and A segments. Is that a yes or a no. I THAT A YES OR A NO! JUST ANSWER THE QUESTION, IS THAT A YES OR A NOOOOOOOOO!!

Now on the flop side, Hannity will go out of his way to kiss the a$$es of thee all "powerful socialists leaders" on his show like todays Charley Rangel brown nosing job along with other Washington DC elite whom have similar positions as the Professor or the Indian in the past.

I like 65% of his show & I wish him well, but Hannity's radio show may be off the air in a few years if he doesn't remake himself.

I'm losing respect for him a slice at a time and today's rant about Free Republic is another chink in his armor.

Good Luck Sean...

[mylife]

Bwaahaaahaaa

Sean feels the need to diss this board on a syndicated show just to promote his own board and get back at a few freepers that hurt his feelings? Sheesh!

And whats with the comment about eating thier own over here?
Isnt that what Sean is doing by making that comment?

Save it for the Dems Sean!

[Cinnamon Girl]

He says in the audio clip that 'nobody he knows goes on FR anymore.' So I guess you don't know TONY SNOW, hey Mr. Hannity? He was here just this week. And I guess you haven't heard of HUGH HEWITT either. Hugh JUST played a clip on his show of him on the new Ron Reagan/Crowley mentioning Free Republic as one of the sources for the Dan Rather downfall.

[Matchett-PI]

M-PI: "You're a mentally unstable manic depressive???

mcmuffin: "Hey! I resemble that remark!"

Anybody that would slap Janet Reno signs on the back of my car and on the door of my motel definately bears watching! LOL

Miss you! Long time no see!! Hope all is going well there with you and the family.

[CGVet58]

I did. FR ranks something like 1,800 while Hannity.com ranks 15K & change. Avg hits/day - Freep is over 650 per million; Hannity 6.1 per million.

No contest, Sean Boyo... and mind you, I like your most recent book (and went to see you @ the Palisades Mall last friday...) but you just had an acute episode of cerebral flastulence.

[SeaBiscuit]

Nothing surprises me when it comes to 'entertainers', $ is a great compromiser.

[jusduat]

Suggestion to thread. Don't FReep his site and build his
ego.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

This thread is getting a ton of traffic.. so for any lurkers out there.. I happen to think this is what Sean's comments are all about:

[HarleyLady27]

I to have noticed a big change in him, and I think we should let him know that he isn't what Levin and Rush are, and if he doesn't change his ways, he's going to be a has been on the radio....he comes on here, he has said things exactly the way they are put on here, now you don't say something exact unless you've seen it, so he had best be careful, and as for me, I don't listen that much to him, if I hear he is going to have Tommy Franks or someone I want to listen to on, I listen to that secment, but other than that, when Rush is over, off goes the radio and on goes fox news channel, then at 9 when he comes on t.v I watch a movie or chat on here...or quilt

[Doohickey]

LOL!

[MEG33]

"How many FReepers went to Hannity's blog site, only because they saw his comments here?"

Not I and I won't because I like it here.

I stay away from the fringers..There are very few of them and they have certainly not taken over.

There are ,however, people here with whom I disagree that have good thoughtful things to say, express their viewpoint well and contribute to the debate.

I do get bored scrolling through the immature comments on foreign policy and terrorism that usually consist of "nuke em"

[ILBBACH]

What happened to all the keywords? I didn't get a chance to read them all, and now they're gone!

[Chaos]

Went and listened to the audio. That was a cheap shot Sean.

The Sirius is going to be tuned to Cam and Company (NRA Radio) at 3:00 from now on. I used to go back and forth but mainly listened to Sean but no more.

[EmilyGeiger]

He disgusted me too. I have been trying for 3 months to get friends of mine to sign up on FR. I knew they would love it, however they listen to Hannity and I am sure they heard him and I am sure they will never become freepers.

[ApesForEvolution]

Ok mon...lol

[PJBlogger]

I guess that would include one of Sean's "dearest, best friends", TONY SNOW, who posts here frequently, and posted the sad news about his being diagnosed with Colon cancer right here on FR yesterday.

This is Sean promoting Sean... what else is new?, except this time, I think he has gone over the line.

[MEG33]

That's what happens when keywords function is abused.
