Hannity begs Dobson to reconsider supporting Giuliani

Much has been made of the extreme Christian right faction of the Republican party attacking Rudy's candidacy. In a very funny exchange, the GOP master propagandist Sean Hannity---had on James Dobson for about 20 minutes and pathetically begged him to support the top tier GOP candidates for President. Dobson refused emphatically and finally questioned Sean's commitment to true moral values.

Dobson: ...and I think by your supporting Giuliani and helping to get the nomination for him, you're about to see the contradiction of most of the things that you stand for.

Hannity: We're friends and we'll always be friends...

James, James, James, you know Sean is a well paid puppet. Silly you. Dobson said that he can't trust Rudy and if he's elected President he would destroy the Fundie movement. (Well there is that.) He's only concerned with his power base so his priority in the '08 election is to still be able to fund-raise like mad and keep his fangs dug deep into the GOP.

I hate Hannity.

The right is tearing itself apart. They used the religious right and now they're trying to dump them and paint them as fringe radicals while attempting to maintain that they're rational. It doesn't work and will only confuse their base more. After the primaries, the pandering to the religious fundies will start again.

Hannity does not give a god damn about the Christians. He cares about his money stream. Even though he might have talked himself into believing the crap he spews when it comes down to it he would dump his moral values for a $10 bill in a New York second.

Plus, he hates the Catholics.

I still love Dobson most for being proud of belt-beating his own Dachshund, for promoting the whipping of infants with actual whips, and supporting adult men showering naked with little boys to compare penises in order to prevent homosexuality.

You just can't beat that, Sean.

So to speak.

Master Propagandist is giving Hannity a little more credit then he deserves.

Master Shill would be more appropriate. Since he works for those who prefer to remain invisible.

It's nice to see all the BS bargaining that I remember hearing amongst Democrats the last election going on with the Republicans this time (although much can happen between now and next year). "you have to compromise your values and beliefs in order for the candidate to win!"

I just wish the media treated independent candidates with the dignity and respect they deserve. If you asking for my vote as a centrist, I want to know that up front.

I'm sick and tired of all the word games and veiled lies from both parties candidates.

Hannity didn't offer Dobson a Dale Earnhardt crock pot and Korean-made electric ass scratcher to sweeten the deal?

He didn't beg properly. Maybe if Hannity got down on his hands and knees and kissed Dobson's pinky ring and beseeched Dobson for Giuliani as next Pope-blessed Emperor. Even then it might take further work while on his hands and knees.

I love it! Keep speaking out, Dobson. The Republican pandering to the religious kooks is finally coming back to bite them in the ass!

Timmy D_11's picture

I'm glad he refuses to endorse and support Giuliani - hopefully that has the same result as Nader refusing to get out of the 04 elections - for the Republicans this time.

Peter G.'s picture

Sure Giuliani hasn't got any support from Dobson and friends but his winsome appearance in drag has earned him the solid backing of the Log Closet Republicans and, as we are discovering, that is a much bigger group than anyone imagined.

Don't Beg, Sean, it's so beneath you.
No, Wait, it isn't.

Doug's picture

So the conservative media has thrown it's endorsement behind Guiliani? They've already shunned Ron Paul, the only Republican candidate who has read the Constitution concerning war powers.

Face it Hannity, the party of hate is going to lose again in 2008 unless they can rig the vote again.

At some point Alan Colmes has to wake up, come to his senses, and say, 'What the fuck have I been doing on the same show with this mental midget. I can't wait. I'll bet he has a no disclosure clause.

Jesus Christ, could Slant Head have shoved his head any further up Dobson's ass. I thought for a minute they were going to have to pull him out of Dobson's ass by his feet.

He is such a tool.

I'm surprised Hannity didn't go off on him like he does with most guests that don't agree with him.

Giuliani is a fraud on many levels, especially when it comes to 9/11 and Iraq.

The FDNY hate his guts for what he did to them during the ground zero recovery.

And he quit the Iraq study group to give speeches for a large sum of money.

The national polls have to be a complete fraud.

Does Hannity actually believe that a fundamentalist Christian would vote for a Catholic or a Mormon? Too bad Lieberman isn’t running for Prez on a Republican ticket. Adding a Jew to the mix would make for a very interesting discourse.

So, if Dobson lives his life based on principle, should he not disassociate himself with someone whose supports a cross-dressing compulsive divorcer, i.e. Sean?

Ooops. Friendships over.

Hannity really just wants to shower with Dobson.

This is all a political Kabuki dance with Dobson playing coy to leverage concessions from the RNC.

Bob Roberts's picture

Looks as though Dobson actually stands for something (okay ... it's something I dislike, but it's something). Hannity, on the other hand ...

Has Hannity ever tried to explain why he thinks the GOP is the better choice? If not on relgious grounds, then on economic or moral or anything ... ? Anytime I've seen him, he's just been in full spin mode.

anonymousryan's picture

Hannity is such a blowhard and if I hear him mention the Obama "US air raids cities" and Murtha "troops are murderers" line one more goddam time...

But I think he has a good point, here... at least from a Republican perspective. Powerful lobbying groups led by Dobson, Pat Robertson, etc. are pushing the Republican primary far to the right when the majority of Americans are leaning left, possibly making it difficult for the Republican candidate to move back to the center for the national election. The problem is Dobson is deluded in thinking that religious groups command powerful armies of voters, which, while they are clearly a substantial, is false. With Republicans showing strongly in national security and fiscal responsibility the religious right stands to tip the balance, but in the current situation the Republican party is clearly vulnerable on these issues and playing to the religious right only further alienates the majority.

If I was a Democratic strategist I would pay James Dobson to endorse a hard line, anti gay, anti Roe v Wade, pro Iraq War, anti immigrant, anti civil rights, third party Conservative family values candidate.

Captain Kangaroo's picture

Would anybody really expect Dobson to change his mind because Hannity begged him to? That turd Dobson should have told Hannity to stop whining and act like a man and do what Dobson told him to do. Damn it!

breakspear's picture

Seems appropriate, considering in 2000 the GOP chose as it's President a man staggeringly deficient in his ability to be a leader (and most of his Presidential duties) and also the biggest 'divider' ever, and now the party itself is being 'divided'. Couldn't happen to a more deserving party. They're reaping what they've sown.

I guess they cut tape just before Hannity began his "oral" argument. What a pathetic excuse for a pile of shit.

So when can we expect to see NBC or CBS endorse a Democrat? That would drive the hypocrites at Faux into a self-devouring frenzy.

Hannity would / has sold out any principles he ever had and he cannot , for the life of him , understand why Dobson would not be willing to forsake any principle to beat Hillary . Integrity is not a word Sean would understand .

"...he can’t trust Rudy and if he’s elected President he would destroy the Fundie movement."

I can't believe it! Finally, reason for a sane person to vote Rudy in '08!

That's the trouble. Dobson is also a well-paid puppet, or chimp, or something.

I love seeing two hypocrites go after each other fighting for opposite versions of their own hypocrisy. Great entertainment. Dobson just needs to come up with more cash if he wants to own Rudy.

neondesert's picture

I hate to admit it, but Dobson makes a good point when he says that if Hillary is elected, at least they'll have the full contingent of anti-abortion-anti-gay-marriage protesters mobilized, whereas if it's Rudy, they'll all be sitting around picking their toenails wondering how they got themselves into this kind of mess again.

And Hannity is NOT about ready to cry. He just keeps sniffing because he can only lick so much snot off his upper lip at a single time...

If Sean Hannity is James Dobson's kind of Republican, it just goes to show what a monumental doushebag Hannity really is! From the way Sean was kissing Dobson's ass, it's amazing he didn't just fellate him right there in front of the cameras...ala Senator Larry Craig! Maybe they just needed a bathroom partition to complete the act!

Dave's picture

Sean Hannity sucks ass

Mary Willis's picture

Did you notice, the guy with the fat head almost exploded? I know Sean can't help it that his head is abnormally large for his body. I thought it was going to blow when he was begging Dobson to support the hate filled right wing no matter what they believe. That's how much they hate anyone that disagrees Bush and his slaughter of innocent people in Iraq who did not attack us on 911. You can't get the right wing to vote for the best person if an "R" is not next to their name. While Democrats for both parties, the right wing just can't do it. The right wing is proud they started a war on innocent people They all say they would do it again even though there were many experts telling Bush that there were no weapons of mass destruction. Bush admitted later he just wanted to be a war president and now he has single handily destroyed the Middle East. Now terrorist are much more likely to attack us in every report you read. They won't attack Bush, the mad man that wanted to kill people to get Sadam's gun. They will kill you and I. Unfortunately - they associate Bush with the USA no matter how insane he has proven to be. The hate filled right wing water carriers follow these dangerous politicians to the end. What happened to the true patriot? A person who drops his Republican / Democrat title and stands up for what's best for the USA. The Republican Party has destroyed our country with their torture, murder, spying, not and failures in Katrina. This has been a disaster, yet you still have Sean, the guy with the huge head saying, he would vote for anyone but Hillary. (Women in power is not something the hate filled right wing likes). So basically he says he will vote for anyone as long as they are a Republican. Doesn't matter if they sexually assault boys or have sex with men in men's bathrooms. As long as they have an "R" next to their name, Sean will support them.

I don't believe Dobson. If Rudy gets the nomination, he and all the other fundies will support him, pro-life statements, crossdressing and all. They are too power-hungy not to.

Doubt it. Did you read Kuo's book? The Fundies got bussed out to the polls in droves, got a Republican President elected twice with a Republican House/Senate, and NOTHING got done (gay marriage still not banned, abortion still legal, Mexicans still here, etc.).

It was pathetic watching Hannity grasping for straws during this interview. And you KNOW the GOP is trouble when one if its loudest talking heads is taking a stuttering "lesser of two evils" approach to next year's election ("At least it won't b-b-b-e Hillary!!").

Dobson is steadfast and I'm not sure what concessions the RNC can offer with the brood of candidates currently on deck.

My prediction: Most of the fundies are simply gonna stay home next year. And it's gonna work in our favor greatly (*knock on wood*).

That was awful. I don't know what I was thinking watching that. I mean, you wrote Dobson and Hannity right in the title, but for some reason I had to watch.

This is pretty good. it should be given more publicity. It is not evryday you hear Dobson telling Hannity that he has no moral compass.

That Hannity is giving up his principals, Morals that Sean leads people to believe he stands for, to win an election to support Rudy...............................

That is amazing !!!!!!!!!

And your right about picking up on Sean wimpering to Dobson....................

Not only that .. but these nutters will have a collapsed economy... and an ever decreasing energy supply to stoke the fires of their Christian madness.. And certainly do not forget how much they loathe her over there.. and how weak we feel about her over on this side..

With her sitting in the office.. there will be no chance at any kind of explanation... and you will see the backbone of the Republicans fury as they do to her what we should of done to bush 7 years ago...

Isn't there something illegal about a TV host (or "Network" for that matter) campaigning for a presidential candidate? Perhaps a complaint to the FEC and FCC is is order.

Well, at least no one can accuse Mullah Dobson of being a flip-flopper. For once, I'm glad he called out Hannity on his hypocracy, and the minions at Fixed Noise can't edit it.

I want them to pick a fight with Dobson. It will be the beginning of the end for Fixed Noise, the Falafel Man, John Gibson, BritNey Humes, and the entire gang over at "Fox & Friends".

Dobson controlls Bush. He knows he and his ilk can't control Giuliani. They know if Giuliani gets in, he might revert back to being pro-choice and pro-gay. The fundies can't have that, you know.

The title "Master Propagandist" is too generous. Hannity is too stupid to be a master propagandist. He just read the scripts. At best he is a barely conscious, dim-witted, walking, talking bag of angry undifferentiated bigotries and hatreds. A real sick fuck. That does, however, make him a perfect tool for the real propagandists who operate him. I kind of relate to him as a souless, remotely operated Waldo unit.

If he's non profit, he needs to pay back taxes retroactively to counter all his politicization.
