I would not have used the Colmes comparison, but Hannity is not very good at presentation or form. Colmes is boring, Hannity is often irrelevant.
I haven't heard or watched Hannity's shows in several years. He was a bulldog in the days of Clinton. His presentations and form(what ever that means) were great. He was one of the few we could count on in the days of Clinton.
His remark about FR is a little thin skinned.
It's a shame he doesn't understand what makes FreeRepublic so great...but, I won't make the same type of mistake and rationalize away all that Shawn has done well.
