Amid the howling:
1) do you realize what he is doing? he is giving us an insight into something really cool. The conservative movement is big enough to segment, divide, establish preferences and still maintain market momentum. That is all he is doing by plugging his website at the expense of FR.
2) he is admitting that FR is REALLY REALLY big. There are all types here
3) anyone who thinks that there are not PROMINENT wingnuts over here has never read FR. There are some real cretins within the conservative movement, and a place like FR that allows anyone to post attracts them like flies to dog poop.
4) Sean, like Rush, Tony Snow, Michael Savage, and most others, is IN THIS TO MAKE MONEY. That sometimes pushes you to do things that maybe you shouldn't have or maybe should have done another way. Sean is just trolling for business among the crowd of freepers who may have just disengaged from a particularly vicious thread, thinking "My God, who let the loonies out of the bin??!!" I know I have wondered, at times. Did he choose the best language to do so? Nah.
5) Some freepers are so thin skinned that they go nuclear at the slightest provocation. No dissent is tolerated. I remember the way Peggy Noonan was SAVAGED over here for disagreeing with the tone of the SOU addressed. That same mentality is displayed in this thread, and the people who are disgusted by it are the people Hannity is targeting. It is kinda like saying that if you don't want your home referred to as an insane asylum, then stop crazy aunt Jessica from screaming warnings about alien microbes to the passerbys from the front yard.
I have never been to hannity.com. This particular plug isn't likely to pull me over there.
you forgot...
6. Some of us have believed Hannity was a bloated tick on the conservative movement's ass for years----and we love brewing tempests in teapots in the interests of mocking him.
Okay, maybe it's just me.
No he isn't.
He's a very competitive guy who wants hannity.com to be the place where the next big headline is broken. He's seen the FR logo on the big screen and he sees an opportunity to compete. He's just a little over the top in how he competes, however.
LOL...soooooo true and although I have not actally heard what Hannity said I would guess this is the group that he referred to.
quick to eat our own..
Sooo what...it's a cleansing process... unlike anything available to the left.

I remember when Rush was upset with the FReepers a year or so ago and spoke unfavorably. He spoke his mind. That's the way it should be. I don't even remember what it was about but I remember I was unhappy about it at the time.
Not quite true.
I've been speaking in defense of Hannity, while I slammed Noonan. Though I never descended to personal insults I did and still do believe jealousy was a motivator for those columns.
The difference between the two being that her piece concerned more important issues than a slight against our vanity.
I find this thread very sad. I find it sad hannity would promote his site by slamming this one. I find it sad that Freepers that made hannity the number one target for MONTHS are so thin skinned they couldn't let this roll off their backs. I find it sad that with all the important issues to concentrate THIS is what inspired hannity and Freeper's passions.
