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

[FreeReign]

IMO, there ARE kooks at FreeRepublic, but probably no more than anywhere else in cyberspace. Most FReepers seem to be reasonable, rational, and downright good folks...

Yep, that's where both Rush and Shawn are wrong....although I think Rush has cleaned up his act on this lately.

[Cold Heat]

Thanks for finishing the thought!

Hannity is a good "starter show" for those getting into Talk Radio.

I wish our local station would change his broadcast to 11pm. It would help me cure my insomnia.... ;)

[ApesForEvolution]

...btw, your moose got loose - sorry bout that...

[Kramster]

You're a 'Great American' Sean.

[Positive]

I have no problem with the American Free Enterprise System.

If Sean Hannitty becomes fabulously wealthy from his program, I'm actually thrilled by the opportunity that this represents.

Savage is just vulgar...(the word does not mean profane or pornographic).

I'm a Medved fan...I particularly like that fact that most of the callers that pass screen are ultra-liberal wingnuts, he chews them up and spits them out like sunflower seeds.

In the meantime I agree which the ideology of all three...I just think that Medved is the most intelligent, articulate and genteel if these three.

"Yep, that's where both Rush and Shawn are wrong....although I think Rush has cleaned up his act on this lately."

Rush probably realized many of his fans are FReepers, and if Shawn is wise he will realize that he shouldn't be insulting all FReepers because of the words of a few. :)

"Thanks for finishing the thought!"

You're very welcome! My husband just LOVES it when I do that with his thoughts.....heh heh

[Cold Heat]

Not too smart.

Especially in view of the fact we came under attack recently by MSM idiots that called us a blog.

We just had some demjerks use us to do a smear job on a member and eliminate a threat to them in a state governors office.

I think we are a bit tired of it.

He picked a really bad time to criticize FR. We are in form and in a fightin mood for sure.

I posted on this thread earlier today. Came down a little on Sean but I think his heart is in the right place. Anyone hear The Great One tonight? He went on and on about thanking Sean Hannity and about what a great guy he is on and off the air. Commented on his passion, his loyalty, his quick wit etc. This, coming from Levin, made me feel a tinsy bit sad about the bashing of Sean Hannity but I still don't agree with his take on FR. It is indeed the best site, bar none.

"says we taken over by fringe people"

"there's an element of truth in that."

There's an element of truth in somee democrats too. It just doesn't make em too smart.

I used to call Bob Grant when I was in high school *lol* >>

You weren't afraid? I think I was in my 30's before I ever called him.

[Cold Heat]

Levin's a member, and was protecting his friend.

I won't fault him for that, but he should know that the comment his friend made and how he tied it to his web site was out of line, damaging, and untrue.

[cyborg]

Nope. I still remember some callers I don't like. Chris from Brooklyn, Hilly and John from Staten Island. All hate eachother's guts but all the same. I even remember Dorothy from Montclaire. What a crotchety old woman. God rest her soul she's probably dead now.

[DCPatriot]

You have to give RUSH a pass.

George Bush wouldn't be President today if there were no Rush Limbaugh.

Sean did a terrific job doing his part to beat John Kerry.

I personally think he's taken on too much with the TV show and the 3 hours a day on radio.

Add to that his touring and before you know it, you're a legend in your own mind.

He's very proud of what he's achieved and lets us know frequently. OTOH, he repeats himself for the new folks turning in....so those of us who can listen to him for hours he can sound like a broken record.

I just think now that the election is over, he's spread too thin. Maybe it's Hannitty Fatigue.

[GeronL]

Say what???

Hey, we just want the truth, something CBS and the NY TIMES and CNN do not want.

[Clemenza]

I thought Bob Grant was angry, until I heard Michael Savage. I would HATE to be in a room alone with those two guys.

I must admit to missing Bob Grant's contemporary, Morton Downey, Jr. I was too young for Joe Pine, but used to watch the Joe Franklin show when I couldn't sleep.

[cyborg]

I thought Levin was right to do that. Hannity was very enthusiastic about Levin's book. Levin is really shy and hardly mentioned his own book before it came out. Now it's almost #1 I hear a lot more confidence in his voice and he's talking about his book more.

[nopardons]

High school was SO long ago for me...LOL But I wasn't "uncool".

I've never heard of this movie at all. Did it even play in a theatre? When was it made?

[hope]

It doesn't take a lot of brilliance to figure out that you don't bite the hand that feeds you. It takes a lot of arrogance to think otherwise.
