They don't want to hear that.
Look at the scope of this thread. Hyper-sensitive to what Sean says, but Sean is supposed to take it when they go overboard in trashing him.
I've said I thought Sean was off base in making the criticism so general, and very lame to promote his board on the back of criticism of this one. No excuse for that.
But too many are proving they are as thin skinned as they say he is. And they are doing what Sean did, eating our "own".
Exactly

I like HANNITY.
I like his CLARITY.
I like my CLARITY too.
I share mine for FREE here.
I share all I have to do this.
I do not slam HANNITY's CLARITY.
Lay off ours, HANNITY.

Bingo.
Yes, the pile it on Hannity is over-the-top.
It is unfortunate that he tied the two together (promoting his site while communicating his dissapointment with FR), but I don't think it warrants the reaction of many on this thread. If people want Sean to take their unkind comments about him and his intelligence and his show and his family with a grain of salt, they need to take his comments with a grain of salt also.
Many FReepers got a big head about FR after the Rathergate exposure, and it's unfortunate. I think Sean's comments could help FR become a better place if people would take his comments at face value, rather than reading a whole ton of stuff into them that wasn't there.
Both FR and conservative talk show hosts like Hannity have their place in spreading and promoting conservatism, and I thank God for both. It just makes me sad to see them criticizing each other; it doesn't do any good for our common cause.
