First, I heard every word uttered by Hannity this afternoon.
Second, the quotes commented here by freeper listerners are NOT taken out of context.
Third, Hannity did NOT "mis-speak". He was primed for this, his rant came out easily, and his criticisms sounded carefully thought out and semi-rehearsed.
Fourth, we're accused of "eating our own" while he's eating us.
Fifth, we are considered "childish" while he verbally cavorts with Flipper and the breathless young married women phoning his show. Probably a good 75% of his actual radio show is immature fluff instead of what conservatives tune into him for.
Sixth, his diatribe was NOT a "cheap shot". It was an expensive shot, carefully calculated and contrived to turn conservative folks away from our site and turn to his commercial site instead.
Seventh, he DID hurt FR in spite of comments to the contrary. This show went out all over the country and harmed our reputation. From now on, Hannity's comments will be quoted and re-quoted by those saying in one version or another, "FR is so bad, even Hannity won't read its forum". The evil that people say lives on after them.
Eighth, Sean doesn't like our "petty squabbling". Our major squabbling must really do him in. What does he want, an Elsie Dinsmore/Casper Milquetoast forum? Everyone agreeing with everyone else?
Ninth, if we are "fringe", why does he consistently give mouth time to the Rangels and Lanny Davis's of this country. If they are not leftist fringies, I don't know who is. These propagandists become more "well-known" and humanized, thanks to Sean and his proclivity for booking questionable guests. Not only that, he calls them his dear friends, kisses their fannies, and invites them back again....and again....and again. A liberal guest now and then is no big deal, but Sean goes over the edge. Let these lefties, socialists, anti-American and anti-war guests go beg Err American to book them so they can spread their agit/prop to the gullible listening to that network.
Tenth, in a real Clintonian tactic, Sean tries to hedge his carefully calculated slams by stating he meets "some" good freepers at his concerts and book signings. I guess the good ones are the ones attending his commercial events. The rest are chopped liver.
Sean has lost me until he publicly apologizes to JimRob and the people on this forum.
Frankly, he disgusted me beyond belief today.

P.S. I wish I had said that! :0)
Whew!!! I think there's a lot of us who feel this way!
We gotta FReep him, we just Gotta! Should we clog his server with tons of e-mail?
Eleventh, his remarks seem to have instigated an influx of trolls.
Length of time here has nothing to do with a discerning mind or not. You either have one or you don't. Prairiebreeze has one.
See my #716.

It was a sleazy tactic. It's straight out of the dem playbook. He didn't harm us, look at the stats I posted here, and here.
Absolutely agree with everything you said. Best comment on the thread.
Amen.
Maybe we should greet sean/rush/levin with...
You're a great freeper or
Freeper dittos or
yellow freeper
Then they will realize how big we really are.
Spot on analysis. You are right, it was an 'expensive shot.'
I still don't know what he said.......only that others quick to renouce!
BTW
I am surprized because Mark Levin does frequent here on FR and I JUST HEARD SEAN SAY good things about us FRI with MARK
So is this just over re-action by some of you!
Ditto. It was a sad event today when Sean hit the sewer.
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.
Wow, Leni, that really cuts to the heart of the matter. I agree with you 1,000%.
Sean, you're dead to me now.
Wow, Leni, that was masterful, and absolutely true! Thanks you for your excellent reply!
Wonderful post through and through, MinuteGal.
Yeah...to the Ninth..!!!
Better than Beethoven's Ninth...!! Well maybe not, but quite good.
hehehe
Couldn't have said it better myself...!!!
Wow! I wish I had said that.
Thanks!
Excellent post, Leni. You've got it nailed (as usual)!
Girl, I don't ever want to be on your wrong side. Nice job :)
