So does it really matter that Hannity said something negative about Freepers?

Your post to the admin mod was 911. Kinda funny.
I think the whole dang thing is taken way too seriously sometimes......
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------If You will recall, this is EXACTLY what Rush did when he first started his site to piss everyone off and get hits by the thousands.
Remember the picture of the "Average Freeper"? He just wants people to check it out, he will fade whatever heat he has to.
It just doesn't make sense to me for anyone who disagrees with anyone or anything here to bash FreeRepublic.
Everyone adds something important to the discussion. If we disagree we can say so or just move along.
Crabby people show up now and then, but then there are crabby people, including moi, at my house too!!!
Ok ,so now how do we humble Sean?
Don't step on your fringes!
Rush ROCKS...MUD
heh heh, indeed. nothing but a talking points broken record Rush wannabe.
I don't have any problems whatsoever with genuine honest critique, but many comments on FR about Hannity have gone beyond critique to personal attacks. He is one of us, as far as common goals are concerned in the world of conservatism and politics. His style may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I don't see that as any reason to make the unkind remarks many do about his intelligence and what evidently appears to many to be a too-good-to-be-true home life. It's sad that so many homes aren't like his and therefore his seems unreal to them. I'm THANKFUL there is an on-the-air personality that has a good home life, who isn't afraid to tell the world that he and his wife were virgins when they became legally married, and who doesn't use colorful language to make his points.
Some of the attacks on FR are about his book promotions and the ads he gives for Ruth's Steakhouse, which I completely don't understand. Both of those are part of business and paying the bills for the service he's providing for his listeners. I'm amazed that more people don't realize that.
He's #2 next to Rush, while none of the people who criticize his skills so harshly are even close to being that. How many even substitute for talk show hosts who have their own shows? Their criticisms would be amusing if it wouldn't be so sad -- sad because it hurts the whole cause for which FR exists when we make such petty criticisms of a well-known and successful conservative.
I fully believe in constructive criticism, but 95% of the criticism of Hannity on FR isn't constructive, it's just petty and therefore smacks of jealousy.
I called him a long time ago, in the early days of his "On the street" interviews and questioning of passersby. I said that I wanted to ask him a couple of questions to test his knowledge of the government. The screener told me that was not the purpose of the show and hung up on me! That was my last call to the empty suit!
Right on!!
Quinn: "A targeted tax cut means .... you're not getting any!"
LOL!!!
Sean had an abundance of arrogance before, now he's insufferable.
Sean "cherry-picks" the laws he wants to go along with
He not only mouths that, he actually bragged on his talk radio show about illegally hiring illegal alien crews - and then he justified/excused it- and he still does!
You are correct - if Sean Hannity will break one federal criminal law and justify it - what other laws will Sean (like Slick Willie) take the "short-cuts" on?
Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Monica Crowley, Michelle "INVASION" Malkin, Steve Malzberg-(no longer at WABC 770am NYC) say this is the #1 issue facing the USA today - the common thread used by 911 skyjackers, crooked greedy employers, crooked DMV & SS staff selling IDs, sleezy politicians.
My liberal NYC sister sez that this is her big "break", with with hundreds of her lib biz and personal friends, with the lefties of the democrat party and crooked NYC (and other USA areas also) employers.
She recently went thru all kinds of bull getting her Driver's License renewed with many valid American IDs while non-English speaking illegals (with obviouly fake IDs) sailed right past her anf got Driver's Licenses!
While Sean justifies his criminal hiring of many illegal aliens - I wonder how many people would justify "sharing" Hannity's new luxury 4WD SUV?
NYC minorities and other higher unemployment urban areas would not have such high unemployment and high crime if illegal aliens were not hired under the table.
Now it is hitting middle class workers also.
Radical judges ordering governments to hire illegal aliens and give them US citizen benefits.
The line is drawn.
Sean Hannity is on Teddy-Jo Kennedy's side on this one!
After listening to the clip, I can definitely say that was NOT Sean's intention...MUD
You don't know what Sean said, but you KNOW some of us over-reacted. OOOOOKKKKKAAYYYYYYYYYY
