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

[OldFriend]

You mean you get tired of every caller being instructed to say.....you're a great american?

Or that no conversation can last without a mention of his book?

Or what humble beginnings he had.

[Osage Orange]

Does he mean Alan Colmes if posting here?

[governsleastgovernsbest]

Thanks, BF - although I'm not sure I go along with your taste in ideal female measurements. I'm more of a classic 36-24-34 guy myself ;-)

[CarryaBigStick]

No, but we do have a tendency to eat our own. In the recent past there have been way too many unneccessary personal attacks on this forum. It has drivin a lot of people away and I'm glad that the moderators are finally doing something about it.

Speak for yourself.

Hannity is a self-serving idiot. The sooner he vanishes from talk radio, the better for the conservative movement.

[Palladin]

Yeah...that was the last straw for me, too...the bashing of the swifties.

Hell, I'd rather watch American Idol than FOX from 8 to 10 p.m. Or almost anything else in that time slot.

FOX is getting stale.

They need some new hosts for the evening hours. Let's see...LauraIngraham, Annie Coulter, Linda Vesper...and ANYBODY but screechy Greta harping on Michael Jackson.

[Tigerjam]

I think he's been taking himself too seriously for a long time. Like others have said, he's usually too busy promoting his book other merch. He has his occasional moments of brilliance, but they are far and few between lately. You ave to admit, he has alot of talk time to kill everyday. Something like this was bound to happen.

[retrokitten]

What always bothers me about Hannity is how he lets people just yell at each other. We can't hear either person if they are trying to scream at each other.

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

Just don't call down the Viking kittens, Bill :-)

[eureka!]

"IMO, Hannity is jealous of the popularity of this site, and in his mind, a competitor. Rather than providing a better product (he can't), he's trying to demean FR in an attempt to bring business his way."

Agreed. Sean is a day late on the blogosphere and is probably jealous of FR's success in taking out Rather (with the subsequent help of actual blogs) and otherwise. Sean's got a bit of an ego problem...

[fat city]

Hannity is absolutely the worst political debater on tv, repeating the talking points from his show prep ad nauseum, unlike Coulter and Limbaugh et al, who are able to think on their feet and control the subject.

I have noticed that there's not enough Latin idioms used on FR though.

[Obadiah]

What does FRINGE really mean anyway?

[bigeasy_70118]

Rush seems more secure and knows just because not everyone here likes him, we all have the same goal.

Since the election, Rush has been on a roll doing his best shows in a number of years. I thought Rush displayed a ton of class today. He had Mark Levin on for the whole hour and then spent ten minutes at the top of the 1 p.m. hour wishing Tony Snow well. He truly is the heir to Ronaldus Magnus.

Then I turn on Hannity and listen to his nonsense.

[LikeLight]

I'll ask Jim to send an adminMod to your house to calm things down.

No, that's okay. They say everything here is just fine. Now they say I have to go change my PJ's again, so I'll be away for a while. I'm really hoping it's gonna be the fringed pair.

[Vision]

Sean says Free Republic is too radical and then he goes on to give Rangel time to BS his way around his "redneck" statements.

I don't think we're the one with the problem Sean

[cicero's_son]

Sean Hannity....Rush Limbaugh for chicks.

[fooman]

Having said the, above- Sean you are a weenie. I am averse to your program. So, unless you have Levin or Drudge around I will not be around as much.

[beyond the sea]

His "Hannitized" marketing gimmicks are what makes the left think conservatives are mind numbed robots.

I hear you.

[1Old Pro]

This topic is on the Hannity board. Though I had the word "bump" in my post and was banned on my first post.. LMAO what a sight..

Never use the word "bump" as it identifies you as a member of the lunatice fringe.
