bump for later read...

I think 5% of any site are idiots with some hidden fanaticism agenda. I've been on this since last year and I've met very few, very few fringe people out there.

"I'm sure I'll see some of you Freeps at the barnstorming..."

Don't hold your breath, Sean.

"FR is not the mainstream" O,well... but FR is the very best political discussion site on the internet that I have found. You have people of all types here, then there is one who is right on everything... Me...

LOL... Thanks for the plug Hannity... More traffic means more of those that donate to keep this site going. FR is the stickest site on the net. I been here over 5 years as a poster and lurker.

He's going to be knocked down a knotch

(Ok, i won't be mean -- everyone go take a look at the main forum page)

And your comments page...and your FRmail page...

[Jeff Head]

Hannnity sounded like he was simply plugging his own web forum on his site and using FR as a prop to do so. Too bad he had to bash FR in the process since a lot of the members here are his fans.

Probably resulted in a lot of traffic to both places in the end...but certainly was a devisive way to go about it. Probably could have acomplished the same by focusing on the positives and pointing out the differences between his forum and FR. Would have gotten just as many people to look at the two.

He may have steered some traffic away from FR...but probably got just as many to take a look to see what the fuss is about, and he also probably lost as much himself from FR as he gained in the process. He owes his own fans and JR an apology IMHO.

Well you said exactly what I intened to post, after I got to the motel.

Sean's a one trick pony and then he beats the dead horse.



I have no idea what he said after that rant, I switched to Michael Medved.


I did hear him the other day, when both he and his wife didn't know how long they had been married.


So in the words of JFKII, f him.

[k2blader]

Sean has hired illegal aliens??

[petercooper]

One thing about Hannity, you don't have to have a high IQ to enjoy his show.

[prairiebreeze]

Very good observations Leni. We've witnessed Sean's behavior with FReeper guests that have been on H&C. He purposely didn't intervene on the rant of the liberal and left the freeper guest to the wolves.

And not only with freeper guests but he lets a lot of other liberal comments slide unchallenged too. I know it happens sometimes. With Sean, it happens too often.

Ping #716.

[beyond the sea]

don't you mean a hugh mistake? or at least a very series mistake?

Yes, a slip-up, a hugh slip-up!

;-)

[rintense]

If he thinks we eat our own, isn't he doing EXACTLY the same thing by slamming FR?!?!?! Hypocrite.

[LauraleeBraswell]

He's just doing it to get a rise out of us? When did Rush say anything?

[Clemenza]

"Silly Freeper, Hannity is for CHIX!"

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

How many FReepers went to Hannity's blog site, only because they saw his comments here?

Not if it was the last blog on earth.

If he had invited freepers to check out his blog that would be one thing, but the manner that he did his advertising only assures that I will never go anywhere near it.

If people go out of their way to insult me I remove myself from their sphere.

[humblegunner]

Rush ROCKS.

Yes, but one-liner threads about how he is "on fire" do not rock.

[Bahbah]

The DU has better ratings then Sean?? Wow .. that's not good

Especially when half of them are FReepers.
