[1Old Pro]

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

listen to the audio

[MEG33]

Go to the "click on article" at the beginning to hear the tape.

LOL

[EdReform]

Check out reply 14 in that thread.

Thanks for that!

I guess that puts the lie to Sean saying yesterday that he left here over two years ago!

There's something wrong with him for him to be so blatantly stupid and duplicitous yesterday

I could nearly guarantee (as a betting man) that he goes to FR every single day! He craves it.

[bmwcyle]

I have stopped listening when he became a friend to RINOs and DEM liberals.

[hope]

How prophetic!

[add925]

Sean's been gone, but another Poster reports that his lackey, Sweet Baby James, is a FR lurker.

Message from "Sweet Baby James" to FReepers (re: Sean Hannity) email from SBJ | 5-06-04 | Jmstein7 Posted on 05/06/2004 9:58:28 AM PDT by jmstein7 Hey, FReepers! I just wanted to convey a message to you all from Sweet Baby James of the Sean Hannity Show -- we've been corresponding back and forth about a few issues. Anyway, here is what he wrote to me (I told him I'd pass it on): From Sweet Baby James: Freepers are among most valued contributers to this show, never doubt it. So, there you go. I hope this puts an end to that issue.

Here's the post, from 5/6/2004.

Sean, why did you sell us down the river ???

[EdReform]

You're welcome. Did you see reply 14 in that thread?

[Raycpa]

Can someone explain to me why I should care what Hannity thinks of freepers ? please leave me out of this hate fest.

[EdReform]

Indeed!

[evad]

Now I "have" heard it and it doesn't make sense.

I knew that he was friends with Ann Coulter and Mark Levin but I didn't realize they had left FR as he states.

Sad...he should clarify his statement and apologize to JR and the FReepers. He should give JR or his designated representative an opportunity to respond.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Hannity or Levin?

Yes.

[sarasota]

Blame it on 9.11. Stirred anger right up to the top.

[RaceBannon]

Sorry, you were on the CT ping list, that's all

[xkaydet65]

Absolutely correct, Race. Thanx for the ping. As you say, Sean has difficulty defeating easily repulsed left wing argumentsd. Imagine if he subbed for Curtis Sliwa for a week. Ron Kuby would, intellectually, have Sean for breakfast and he's also a lot funnier.

I'll always applaud Sean's dedication to W's reelection, but having Sean Hannity as a major face and voice of conservative talk radio is damaging to how the movement is seen intellectually.

[leadpenny]

I agree. Hitching one's wagon to a personality vs. following your own beliefs reminds me of those who drank the Kool-Aide in SA or those who ate the poisoned applesauce in order to get aboard Hale-Bopp.

[fooman]

Levin has posted recently and often on this board, including a dozen or so posts this year.

I guess sean was calling levin 'fringe'. I quess sean was calling doug from upland and tony snow fringe too.

[sarasota]

FR is the engine on the 21st Century train. The MSM is on the platform.

[chiller]

Point well made, but my thought about 'screwing a good friend in FR to reach his goal' is the part that bothers me. He didn't need to slam FR.
