It might have been annoying.
Do you hate them?
Is hate the word you would use to describe your feelings for them?
I wouldn’t. I don’t hate them.
I hear people say they hate their haircut. Again, its about context.
I didn’t hear hate in Glenn’s voice. I wish he hadn’t used that over-used and often mis-applied word, but that’s me. Also, he was trying to get attention. Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and others do it too, but in different ways. This is an occupational hazard for ambitious pundits.
I detect more hatred (of Glenn Beck) on this thread than I do from that audio-clip.
