SJackson, do you happen to be listening to Boortz? Apparently he is an eye witness and agrees with the things being thrown and lots of cursing account. I am getting this second hand though, I would like to find someone who is actually hearing him on the radio now.
Better turn on Rush Better turn on Rush .. Hurry!!!!
THE STREETS OF NEW HAMPSHIREWe only made the decision to come to Manchester for the New Hampshire Primary a few weeks ago, and a good decision it was. Belinda, Charles and I have had a wonderful time.
One real treat is just walking up and down Elm Street, the main drag in Manchester. On virtually every corner, and especially in front of the Merrimack Restaurant, the demonstrators are out waving their signs. I would say that about 80 percent of the sign-wavers on the streets, and would you like to take a guess as to who the rudest and most abusive demonstrators are? You got it ... the Paulistas. The Ron Paul supporters. I've come to the conclusion that many of these Paul demonstrators come from the same ranks as those people who get out there and march whenever the world's leading economic powers get together to talk trade and economic cooperation. Thank goodness they don't recognize me as we walk buy. They spotted Hannity earlier this week and followed him down the street shouting obscenities. Nice folks.
Embarrassing moment? Well, that might be when Belinda actually walked up to Tucker Carlson in a restaurant and said "I think you're soooooooo hot!" Unbelievable.
Our thanks to Ellen Ratner and the Talk Radio News Service for the excellent job they did with the Radio Row at the Radisson Hotel in Manchester. If I'm still around when the next presidential election comes along, and not sitting in Prevost in Palm Desert, California ... we'll be right back here again.
Next stop? Who knows? We'll see how this plays out.
Even Bill Clinton called Ron Paul supporters "nuts." Now I'm sure he didn't mean ALL Paulistas ... just the ones who vehemently spout that 9/11 was an inside job. You know -- all the Alex Jones types. You ought to see them on the streets of Manchester. What a sideshow.
Watching the video, it's irrelevant whether anything was thrown, that was clearly a mob and Hannity had every reason to feel threatened. Third time this has happened, first Rudy, then Huck, now Hannity. People who support this are at best anarchists, relatively harmless, at worst fascists. I note from your forum links that many of his supporters don't think the law applies to them, and actually think there's some sort of exemption for political dissent. Ignorance may be bliss, but it's also dangerous. This is a tragedy waiting to happen. Here's hoping they don't try yesterday's tactic on anyone with secret service protection, or multiple bodyguards. If that was Hannity's bodyguard with him, he needs to hire another. If it was a friend, he needs to hire two. 24/7, at least till the Paul insanity ends.
