Ron Paul Lunatics
Sean returns to his hotel after crazy Ron Paul protesters rallied outside of a restaurant he was visiting in Manchester, New Hampshire.

--my comments--
According to Ron Paul forums, about 200 Paul supporters were part of this attack on Sean. They claim they were only throwing snowballs but the videos make it clear they were throwing bottles and other items other than snowballs.
Warning, foul language by Paul supporters.
“He walks into the lobby with a smile on his face
Looked more like a wince.”
And the man next to him is seen brushing snow of Seannity’s shoulder.
Courtesy ping.
And constituents.
No, it is a story initially based on a video and Hannity's account, and now, if you missed it, apparently Neil Boortz was a witness and confirmed what I said on his radio program today. I haven't confirmed that myself yet.
“Unless you think the word “sucks” is a curse word.”
Well, not exactly but, when I was in high school in the mid-60s, saying to someone, “You suck!” Meant that you were calling that person a homosexual fond of performing a certain act. So, while technically not a ‘curse’ word, it’s still a pretty nasty insult.
Not strange at all, since I have not yet decided upon which candidate will receive my vote. And, I disagree that the only ones bringing Run Paul up are his detractors. He’s getting a good deal of free press in many arena’s, and not all from those who see him as a tinfoil wearing loon. Question to you - Where do you think all that money he has allegedly raised is coming from? Since he has raised amounts which rival both Obama and Hitlery (according to media reports), are you of the opinion that all that money is coming from small donations from a huge number of people? Since such is not the case with any other candidate, why would anyone make the assumption that Run Paul’s funding comes from such sources? Something smells rotten here, and those who think otherwise are wearing blinders.
According to the donation logs on his website that's exactly what is happening. Do you have any evidence to the contrary?
If he's lying about that you can probably try and get him in trouble with the FEC for some sort of false reporting.
A video many watched and at best catch a few curse words? Somebody heard that somebody was listening to Borortz and heard that he said....... And yet on goes the thread LOL...If it was news Hannity would have ran with it both on radio and H&C on Fox.
The “litte lady “ was covering Sean Hannity’s back while Sean was getting pelted, one right after another with snowballs ,as some people have intrepreted the video I wondder why Neil Boosrtz didn’t cover his back instead of a woman????????????????Inquiring minds want to know.
This entire thread sucks.
What a shocker.
:19 >This is just frightening....we can get all arrested :23>For what, walking down the sidewalk? :24> Yeah, exactly. :27 > Throwing snow will get your @ss *[inaudible]. :32 boooooo :41 Sean Hannity, how about an interview? :45 Hey Hannity, how about an interview? :52 - :57 chanting: Fox News Sucks :57 * throwing snow 1:00 booooo 1:03-1:06 two times: "hey stop throwing snow" "stop throwing snow" 1:12 He's ["handler's" but could be "hitler's"] best friend 1:13 How about an interview? 1:20 two times: "Hey, how about an interview?" 1:25-1:31 two times: We're not falling for it any more 1:27 - 1:28 woman turns around, twice, and says "stop it" 1:27 "We're great Americans and you're not." 11:39 We're great Americans and you're not, Sean. 1:50 You suck, Sean.You say you heard sh*t; I heard something more like "shake"...if one is able to hear ANY cursing, or even as "easily" as someone claims, I shouldn't have to be straining to hear even one, as what is most audible is "Fox News Sucks", "We're great Americans and you're not," and "how about an interview".
Bad form, yes. Bottles/glass sounds heard? No. (I've now listened/watched the video at least 7 times.) Curse words heard? Nope.
Woman following behind Hannity, who claims he felt threatened, all the way into the building? Yep.
Hannity smiling as he turns and enters the building? Yes.
Was this unnecessary for a group of people? I think so. Was he attacked or verbal threats even made? I couldn't see or hear that.
Supporting a nutball AND coming to wild and baseless conclusions goes hand in hand I guess.
Great post - that’s what I saw/heard too, though i didn’t see any snow or anything else flying.
The transcript you posted doesn't match what can be heard. Please listen with a better set of speakers. At 1:08, "Sean Hannity! He's a piece of sh*t! He's Hitler's best friend!" If you can't make that out, then it's no one else's problem. It's so obvious that I'm not going to spend any more time trying to convince anyone of it, so keep that in mind before replying.
Keep in mind that I’m talking about the second video, the one on YouTube linked in the early reply. I haven’t watched the other one, so gosh, maybe the guy really is yelling “You’re a pizza shake! You’re handler’s best friend!”
I saw at :24/:25 what COULD HAVE BEEN someone lobbing a snowball. That’s the only time. At least someone posted something that came closest to one actually being able to observe it.
And an “angry mob” would definitely be YELLING at someone, VERY AUDIBLY, more than once, to STOP THROWING SNOW, right?
Give it a break, Mitchell.
Sean Hannity wasn’t attacked and, IMO, he wasn’t even afraid. What MAN, who was afraid for his well-being, would allow a woman to continue walking behind him, all the way to the building, and not pull HER FIRST to safety, and then smile as he enters the building.
That’s something you’d do? Fear for your life and have a woman stand between you and the “angry mob”?
“That’s something you’d do? Fear for your life and have a woman stand between you and the “angry mob”?”
If Hannity was really threatened, then he was hiding behind a woman.
How classy.
Gosh, yer right! One or two people out of a few dozen or more actually had a conscience, so "angry mob" mus not be an apt description! groan...
