But Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck and Rush do that a thousand times better than Sean and O'Reilly.Jim Quinn is GREAT (Quinn@warroom.com) also.
Excellent show!

Nobody is disputing that there are kooks on FR. It is the nature of the internet. Go to any forum or blog or what have you, and there will always be at least one insipid comment or poster. To find the kooks, you have to know exactly where they hang out at here. Nine times out of 10, it's always the same topical threads.
What is laughable is the manner in which Hannity blasts away at FR. Firstly he charges that everyone who is still posting here is a fringer, then says they eat their own, and engage in a childish manner.
The way Hannity read it on the air, sounded like the dumbest ZOT FR Opus I had ever heard. Hannity is a damn hypocrite, pure and simple.

If Vannity really wants to see some fringe activity, he should go lurk on Usenet for a while, then come back here. He might have a more reasonable opinion then.the alt.fan.rush-limbaugh group has some real "winners" among them. That group is filled to the ceiling with kooks, both on the right and the left. It makes FR and DU tame by comparison, and makes Sean sound like a frickin' bake sale.

I think Hannity is just going thru a whiney period while he deals with his PMS. FR is a tough place, I have been flamed royally and still infest the place.Right on. It takes a backbone to be here and survive. Hannity's is soft.

Good night/good morning to LP'ers???
Are we tolerant today?
Nah, most of those guys were OK by me, except on a particular topic or so where they get themselves banned. I still wonder about some of them... Sabertooth, Darth Sidious et al....
oh well, I guess I oughtta ask someone who knows about that bad neighborhood =o)

I just logged on for a second and only read a handfull of responses, but based on the remarks I've seen, it appears that Sean needs to spend more time on FreeRepublic before he makes rash statements about its composition.Sean comparing his thinking and his "board" to FR is like a utility player for the early '60's Mets comparing his baseball skills to Ted Williams in his prime!

What do you think are the chances he broaches this (FR slur) subject tomorrow?

THE TEN DEADLY SINS
First, I heard every word uttered by Hannity this afternoon.
Second, the quotes commented here by freeper listerners are NOT taken out of context.
Third, Hannity did NOT "mis-speak". He was primed for this, his rant came out easily, and his criticisms sounded carefully thought out and semi-rehearsed.
Fourth, we're accused of "eating our own" while he's eating us.
Fifth, we are considered "childish" while he verbally cavorts with Flipper and the breathless young married women phoning his show. Probably a good 75% of his actual radio show is immature fluff instead of what conservatives tune into him for.
Sixth, his diatribe was NOT a "cheap shot". It was an expensive shot, carefully calculated and contrived to turn conservative folks away from our site and turn to his commercial site instead.
Seventh, he DID hurt FR in spite of comments to the contrary. This show went out all over the country and harmed our reputation. From now on, Hannity's comments will be quoted and re-quoted by those saying in one version or another, "FR is so bad, even Hannity won't read its forum". The evil that people say lives on after them.
Eighth, Sean doesn't like our "petty squabbling". Our major squabbling must really do him in. What does he want, an Elsie Dinsmore/Casper Milquetoast forum? Everyone agreeing with everyone else?
Ninth, if we are "fringe", why does he consistently give mouth time to the Rangels and Lanny Davis's of this country. If they are not leftist fringies, I don't know who is. These propagandists become more "well-known" and humanized, thanks to Sean and his proclivity for booking questionable guests. Not only that, he calls them his dear friends, kisses their fannies, and invites them back again....and again....and again. A liberal guest now and then is no big deal, but Sean goes over the edge. Let these lefties, socialists, anti-American and anti-war guests go beg Err American to book them so they can spread their agit/prop to the gullible listening to that network.
Tenth, in a real Clintonian tactic, Sean tries to hedge his carefully calculated slams by stating he meets "some" good freepers at his concerts and book signings. I guess the good ones are the ones attending his commercial events. The rest are chopped liver.
Sean has lost me until he publicly apologizes to JimRob and the people on this forum.
Frankly, he disgusted me beyond belief today.

What do you think are the chances he broaches this (FR slur) subject tomorrow?The damage is done. I don't see how he can get back into the good graces of so many people who put him in the position he's in. by either attending one of his traveling tour shows, book signings, etc.
For all I care, Hannity can go kiss Rangel's old black wrinkled up keister.
Hannity is a schmuck.

LOL. I've always known him to be a lightweight, a talking point mannequin, who loved the adoring calls from the sweet little teen girls.
I always say this about Sean. Just imagine how insufferable and irritating he would be if he were a liberal!
