Congratulations to Mr. Sean Hannity, who has hit #3 on the New York Times bestseller list after his first week of his "Let Freedom Ring" book tour. Now, the #2 Republican in Washington is now "urging" Sean to run for public office (reported by Drudge on the Hannity Radio Show.)

More like "Hannity Hears A Who."

For a conservative author, this is an amazing accomplishment. Congratulations to Sean.

But sweetie-boy Sean isn't a conservative. Maybe a "golf course conservative" like Michael Savage describes Limbaugh.

Something about reading conservative books is weird to me. It is like preaching to the choir and I have not bought many.

I did buy All the Best by George Bush to find out how his children were raised and was very pleased with that purchase.

When I do buy Hannity's book it will be to someday pass it on to a liberal friend.

Why do you think that? I've never gotten that impression, but of course I don't have gaydar either, and many times I assume all city boys are a little light.

I'm reading right now. Good book. Nothing earth shattering if you've listened/watched him frequently. Very impassioned arguments on various issues (abortion, school choice, war on terror, etc) with examples of liberal idiocy from guests on his show(s).

Like Coulter (but not with the same ZING!) he seems to be a conservative that doesn't fall for the "you can't call me unpatriotic" line that liberals use. Seems like more and more conservatives have finally decided to take their gloves off...

Well if Michael Savage says it's so, it must be...

He is the leader and inspiration of the modern conservative movement after all </sarcasm

Sean said yesterday on his show that he was a conservative first and a republican second because so many republicans are now liberals and leftists also.

I'm with you. I hesitate to buy conservative books because there's seldom anything in them that would be new to me. I did just finish "Bias", though, and loved it. Although, technically it's not a conservative book since it's written by a liberal. Sean's book may be a good one to give to liberals, though. That's a good idea!

Although I've listened to Hannity for several years through 770 WABC...He irritates the tar out of me lately...people call with good questions and he tends to go back to his pat answers never quite answering their questions.

He sounds like a left wing politician in the way he avoids answering straightforward questions posed to him with straightforward answers!

I'd like to give Sean more credit, but I have two big problems with him:

1. He loves to bash libertarians on his show

2. He is a tried-and-true drug warrior. In my book that seriously compromises his commitment to liberty.

I agree with both of those points....BUT: I doubt he is gay (Not that I care)

He is VERY conservative (Those above who disagree are not reading and listening, obviously) He is even to the right of most Republicans....of course so am I and I am more of a self styled Libertarianthinking, Republican voting, bomb throwing, conservative.

You're right. Liberals have more books published (by far), but conservative books are bought and read. We're often in the NYT's top ten. Conservative radio wins, our TV news shows have high ratings, and the Internet sings a conservative tune... In a more rational world someone would notice we're a viable market and publish a few newspapers with a conservative voice. Even a token conservative voice...

"Actually, conservative authors often appear on the best seller list."

I live in the "Peple's republic of Park Slope", here in Brooklyn, NY. When I bought Sean's book on Monday Afternoon, my regular Barnes & Noble clerk (who ususally smiles and says, "How are you") saw what I was buying, and practically threw my change at me, and then stuffed the book into a bag without saying a word.

It really must irritate the heck out of these people to have to sell books like "Slander" and "Let Freedom Ring".
Hey, I've ben called a "Warmonger" around here for wearing a USNA shirt! I smile, give the aging hippie a thumbs up, and a haerty "HOO-YAH"!

Hobbes! We got our first convert! Steve50 thinks he's gay too.
