Sean Hannity on Americans: 'Maybe we do whine too much.'
By John Amato Saturday Jul 12, 2008 3:00pm
How unpatriotic is Sean Hannity? He joins in with McCain's major economic dude, Phil Gramm and believes we are a nation of Whiners.

Hannity: But in all seriously here, we haven't had a recession---there is an economic slow down. I share your concern. Everybody I talk to is furious at 4.50 a gallon for gasoline, especially when they know we have more resources than the middle east, but I want to know. I want to ask you this. I've met people that grew up in tyranny. I knew people that grew up in the former Soviet Union for fear of speaking out against their government. Never had an opportunity to pursue their dreams...In this country, maybe we do, is there some truth to the fact, maybe we do whine too much. Maybe we don't to appreciate this gift we have of freedom. Maybe we don't take advantage of, maybe too many of us look to the government to solve every problem we have, Health care etc...
Gingrich: Sean, I have the deepest affection for you..that is the least Ronald Reagan like quote I've heard from you in your entire career.
WTF is he talking about? My God, Newt rebukes him in the the worst possible way for a Hannity type robot. Calling him the anti-Reagan. I guess when you make over five million dollars a year like Hannity does, no worries about health care for his family, paying for gas and the high cost of food really isn't a big deal to him and many rich conservatives. You know the new term is "economic slow down." We're not struggling, there's just a little bump in the road so suck it up people!@
Heather says:
Gingrich tells Hannity that government should listen to citizens when they're complaining, and admits the truth when he says that "If your customer comes in and complains to you it is not good to say to the customer quit whining because then they get to go to a new store". That "new store" is the Democratic Party and he knows it. Of course that was qualified later with remarks that small business without the aid of government and the private sector is the answer to all of our problems instead of government holding those people back with I would guess their nasty regulations on business so they don't kill all of us while making a profit which of course all Republicans hate.

LOL apologists escape reality
Are Republicans so stupid that they don't realize an economic downturn regardless of whether it's a recession or not? Folks like Gramm, McCain and Hannity don't give a shit because they're loaded. Recession/economic downturn or not they're doing well. Put 'em on a minimum wage job and then we'll hear some real complaining.
I remember Hannity whining like a bitch when James Dobson said wouldn't support Rudy Guliani for President even if it was the only way to beat Hillary.
Hannity is not hurting therefore anybody who complains about hurting is a whiner. Sounds a little elitist to me.
Hannity's repetitious bitching and repeating the same shit night after night, sounds like a whole lot of whining to me.
wow, when Newt Gingrich acknowledges true economic troubles and makes Hannity look like buffoon..
Sure, he has a job, he kisses ass and is well paid for that. He can'T see reality. Can you expect HIM to report it?
That's another asshole who needs to depart this world, and ASAP.
Let Hannity and all the others defend that twit. If Americans vote for McCain they are rich or stupid.
"Whining" is what bullies accuse you of after punching you in the guts. And that's exactly what the Bush gang have been doing to the country for the past seven years.
hannity trying to soften the blow....with ridiculous analogies/examples.......this guy is a parrot...he repeats himself routinely......he'll convince the ones that are already convinced
Hannity and O'Rielly both seem like caricatures out comedic dystopian sci-fi movies.
I'm sure Hannity would say the same thing if this economic downturn happened during a Democratic administration.
He's fair and balanced, after all.
But who wrote ray gun's speaches?
patrick buchanon of the Deutschland Uber Alles speech in 1992.
Additionally, are the republicans just writing-off the working class vote? They're practically handing them to Obama.
I think that many of the children are whining when they lose everything they are used to having. Wait until they find out they are the ones that are going to be paying for the setbacks in our world caused by the repugnants.
who better than:
to give us some pointers on Americans.
Even in the rare time he's right, Lizard comes across off-puttingly. The fact that he alludes to the business and services model rather than, say, the ridiculous numbers of people who lost their homes, shows where his priorities lie. I'm not even sure he quite gets it.
Watching this collective plunge deep into insanity is quite spectacular to behold.
ysbaddaden @ 13:
this election is a throw-away. the SCLM minions will blame everythings on the Dems and the Dems will comply with cowardice. So unless DIEBOLD guarantees a repug, we'll have four years of Obama the Appeaser with the fascist voting Hagel as VP.
today is apparently surrogate day, since they can't get a straight word out of McKeatingFive's mouth that he won't regurgitate backwards in two minutes.
"Work hard, play by the rules - and you can't fail, except for Muslims, darkies and women."
Lemme find a fire hydrant, so we can wash the slime off ya, Seanie.
18 CoIntelPro for Pronktastic Victory Over SCLM, DIEBOLD, ESS and SEQUOIA!
It was on the news last night about Hillary being considered for VP
But maybe it was a summer rerun.
I just finished reading an article in Harper's by Thomas Frank, "The Wrecking Crew". How a gang of right-wing con men destroyed Washington and made a killing. It is an excerpt from his new book. Gingrich is one of those con men. Hannity is only paid to read what is written. Neither is based on reality. To them, unbridled capitolism is god.
If they whine about people complaining that times are tough they are very afraid of the backlash which will mean that their reality is threatened.
What about Hannity's other lie in there:
"Everybody I talk to is furious at 4.50 a gallon for gasoline, especially when they know we have more resources than the middle east."
Is that the next right wing talking point - we have more oil than the Middle East? Clearly this is patently false and clearly disprovable.
One thing I shoulda said on the gram thread regarding the late 60's early 70's and now was that there was a shared sense of pain. You got the impression business didn't like layoffs because it reflected badly on the company and the CEO personally. It was mostly the wealthier class buying and selling stock who's value seemed to be flat.
TV was only three major networks, plus some local and Public Broadcasting, people like hannity would couldn't get past the threshhold.
Now days the cost of everything from food, housing, medical care, education are skyrocketing, and if you're lucky enough to still have a job, your wages are stagnant and the dollar value far less. You have less benefits now than you did in the 60's and 70's. But the bosses keep reporting record setting profits and personal compensation and benefits.
I talk to people from Russia almost everyday in Portland, there is a huge Russian community and the joke there is that have more freedom in Russia then we have in America. Russia of Reagan period is dead and over with. The people of Russia can now carry sign and not be remove from public area. People of Russia can get a college education, and medical care.
It is uncannily how this administration seem to be embracing old Russian form of govt, and tout freedom as a brand name only.
ysbaddaden @ 13:
what do the NEOCONS have to offer to the working class....accept guns and religion.....the new working class is china and unregulated immigration.
what did mccain say in detroit(auto?) industry probably won't come back......they don't have much to offer they fxxked the middle working class
.
Is Sean insHannity calling himself a whinner...?
Who'da thunk it!
.
Clown Hannity should never play the whining card. This neocon elitist propaganda channel is trying to convince victims of this criminal administration that not only is it in your mind, it's your fault that the economy is bad.
I can almost smell the Karl Rove talking point is that we have more resources but its all tied up in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Attaching the anger directly at liberal for high price of gas.
Hannity is a reich winger desperately clinging to his Bush and talking points.
They have to earn their millions by having something conservative to say and it doesn't matter whether it's a lie, hurts someone, exonerates crooks, or is just plain stupid, because they will say "Hey it's my opinion, if you don't like it don't watch."
I don't watch it, but I know millions do. That's how they get their knowledge and "learned" opinions...from these mercenaries. So here we are.
‘Maybe we do whine too much.’
No it's called petitioning the government for redress of grievances.
Perhaps sham should read the Constitution someday.
It's the wealthy-class who're whining because they sense their free ride on the gravy train is over.
Great now I'm hungry.
Who knows, maybe every ride now will cost them a whole nickel.
Republicans are the whiners, they are always whining that someone is going to make the rich pay their share of the taxes.
.
Here is Gingrich whining that Bush has kept us TOO safe...
"And it's almost like they should every once in a while have allowed an attack to get through just to remind us."
He follows this up with his solution, create a department to violate American's Freedoms because really, that's protecting Americans.
That not only does he lament that America hasn't been struck again, he also suggests a KGB operation.
Newt Gingrich says he loves America...
... Then why does he wish harm upon the Nation and Her Republic?
.
"Fox News: Turning brain-dead thugs into millionaires since 1996."
Additionally isn't shammity a Catholic? They teach that not only is envy (whining) a sin but also greed.
And Pope John Paul (George Ringo) had concern for the poor's comfort and dignity
Not sure about Pope Benedict.
Why don't priests refuse to give shammity communion?
He has the bread to buy his own bread.
So, the people are whiners, but the government is all-knowing and should not be questioned or criticized. So that's what conservatism is all about.
"More resources than the Middle East..."
??????????????????????
Jesus H F#$k this guy is stupid. Truly, madly, deeply stupid.
We are all facing what Kunstler calls a hundred foot wave of problems that will make havoc of everything we hold dear and hope for. The Looter Class fucked up, big time, and led by W, have made a mess that will make the great depression look like a hiccup. The people have the microcosm evidence staring at them daily, upside down home equity, credit max out, 401k vaporisation and gas costs that will only go up along with food costs.
A curse upon all glib gated community looter millionaires who would even mention such a thing as whining at a time like this. It is nothing less than Marie Antoinette version 2.0 and even the cake sucks. May they meet a very rusty and dull guillotine as poor Marie was pretty cool compared with these pompadoured Gila Monsters.
Sean Hannity makes his living by working in the private sector. He started out with nothing and worked his way to fame & fortune. A guy like Hannity has a modicum of credibility when he criticizes others for whining too much. Phil Gramm is a douchebag. He talks crap about Americans depending too much on government. Gramm is a wrinkled old geezer hypocrite who draws a fat salary, gets full medical care for life and a humongous pension all paid for at taxpayers expense. Gramm is a pig feeding at the government trough.
What a surprise?!?!?!?!
Apparently everyone at Faux Noise received the memo.
MEMO from the GOP:
Topic: Whining
Priority: Urgent
All of our affiliate Republican media outlets will disseminate the "American's are whining plan" this week. Make a concerted effort to deflect the economic realities as long as possible and tell America that it's Un-American to sit around whining all the time about crimes committed against you. Make sure project "whine not" will be aired in at least one segment per hour or per show, whichever is greater.
Accomplish this via the following methods:
1) Point the finger at the whiners.
2) Tell everyone to stop whining.
3) Tell everyone that only liberals are doing the whining.
4) Even though total economic collapse is imminent, tell everyone that this is a lie. We're not really in a recession, it's a depression, but make sure no one knows.
5) Keep the whining talk going for as long as possible.
6) Use techniques like, "everything is going great with the rich people."
7) Make sure you blame any and all economic problems on the liberals.
8) Make sure you don't mention anything about personal freedoms being taken away as this might precipitate additional whining.
9) Make sure you let everyone know that the great president Bush is not whining and neither is the great vice president Cheney.
10) Make sure you tell everyone that $4 gas is GREAT for Amurika. It's providing more family time and a new word we're marketing this year called the STAYCATION.
11) And use any other nefarious and underhanded methods you can think of to divide Amurika, hide the truth, and blame all our problems on the whining liberals.
ysbaddaden @ 36:
Sin, schmin! Ya go to confession, whip off a Rosary and all's good 'til next week.
That's one of the great things about Roman Catholicism. That and the fact that you're always home by the time the NFL kicks off on Sundays.
$1.6 Trillion in Losses and Counting
"Warning: remove sharp objects from your vicinity before reading."
"Bridgewater Associates has issued an apocalyptic warning to clients that bank losses from the worldwide credit crisis may reach $1,600bn [$1.6 trillion], four times official estimates and enough to pose a grave risk to the financial system."
"Bank losses on this scale would have far-reaching effects. Lenders would have to curtail loans by roughly 10-to-one to preserve their capital ratios. This would imply a further contraction of credit by up to $12,000bn [$12 trillion] worldwide unless banks could raise fresh capital."
A $12 trillion contraction in credit is roughly the size of the U.S. economy. It would be catastrophic.
BTW, the whole "Americans are whiners" meme is just political and media shills carrying water for corporate backers by always blaming the people for America's ills, so that those who actually have power are never held accountable. How do these assholes sleep at night?
Kal @ 23:
I think what he was saying is that the Middle East isn't our only source of oil. Which is true - 4 of the top 5 countries that we import oil from are not in the Middle East (two are, in fact, our direct neighbors).
Del Capslock @ 44:
They take Ambien. And they don't remember how they got to work in the morning. Also it helps to be sleeping on a Sterns & Foster top of the line mattress with satin sheets in a monster home purchased by a nice six to seven figure salary obtained from selling us all out.
Del Capslock @ 44:
Easy - big bags of ill-gotten gains are mighty soft.
What's all this fuss I hear about the American public wining? I personally occasionally enjoy a nice Cabernet with my dinner.
What? You're saying whining?.......Well that's different.
Nevermind.
Whining at gun control, gay marriage, gays in military, unions, illegal immigrants, etc. Yeah whining! Oh wait, Fox News means whining at the mess Dubya and his criminal associates made. What a bunch of sociopath/psychopath unfeeling pricks.
WAIT. A. MINUTE.
Hannity:
e...specially when they know we have more resources than the middle east
Excuse me? Is it possible he's dumber than Doug Feith?!?
Cheers
Remember, always stay "on message."
Government and corporate speak for, "you better do and say exactly what we want, when we want or your ass is fired and your $11,000 a month mortgage will suck dry your savings faster than you can say, "holy bankruptcy, Batman!""
Jesus, it should a felony for some Jackass like Hannity... someone who will never have to worry about affording healthcare... to call people who are concerned about it 'whiners'.
You just DO NOT get to do that. Where is your fucking class? Where's your humanity?
Oh wait, that's a rhetorical question.
they can slice it and dice it all they want.....obama is going to stick these whining comments up their ass
these red elites want a free world market with no rules and they want us to pay the freight.(corp. welfare)
i say these comments from gramm will be used by obama in michigan,ohio and pennsylvania...they broke down the unions,encouraged unregulated immigration and gave us a very weak dollar.....they're going to question the people's complaints......i don't think so
Sean, you're absolutely right! Americans SHOULD be more like those Soviets who were afraid to speak out. Republican problem solved.
lyleleander @ 52:
Hannity, and other shit shovelers like him, are just pretending to use their right of free speech. When in actuality, they're being told to say these things. There is an obvious agenda here. Did you see my GOP memo at 41? Unfortunately that is more close to the truth than any of us would like to admit.
The thing is that Hannity and O’Reilly and Gramm and McBush call the people who are listening to them, the people who they need to vote for McAsshole, they call them whiners. Meanwhile these “whiners” are losing their homes or their sister is losing her house or their best friend lost his job or their parents can’t pay for health care and they can’t go on vacation and Hannity is calling them whiners. What are these people going to say and do. They are going to see these mega rich pundits who have no worries in the world talking down to them. They are going to say “fuck you. I’m voting Obama. At least he is not calling me names and not caring about the problems I’m facing.” Hannity and his ilk are showing how much they care about middle America. Their base audience. “Shut up and just watch me so that I can continue to make Millions of $$$$$.”
Mike Smollon @ 54:
That's right. Never question, just do whatever WE tell you. Problem is...who is the WE here?
Never question authority or your government
Me Master, you Slave!
Hannity is a clown. Gas is *cheap* compared to how we're getting scammed for everything else. Today a doctor's prescription can cost $3000... (for drugs that cost $3.) The economy is a junkyard with well-connected morons in charge.
This whiner, a 56 y/o, 6'1" white Democrat male, challenge Sean Hannity to a man on man fist fight any time, anywhere, if he can come up with the man. He loves to call us traitors, whiners, whatever....now say it to my face.
I'd love to see the bloggers get behind this idea. I'm at solo25@aol.com, and I'm not hard to find. Have time, will travel.
There is absolutely no way I can watch that clip! In the last year I've watched no more than 10 seconds of "Lou Costello" Hannity, and that was by mistake when I accidentally clicked on FoxNews when channel surfing. He is all the worst qualities of Joe McCarthy, Roy Cohn and Lee Atwater combined. A truly despicable lowlife.
Why would I want to ruin an otherwise lovely Sunday?
He is right we shouldn't be whining until the Republican's lead this country into a full blown depression. I mean who every heard of preventing further economic downturn.
Trekkie @ 45:
Sounds like somebody is including shale and tar sands in the reserve figures. This is the latest gimmick by the Pollyannas. Nobody has figured out how to economically exploit shale yet and as far as tar sands we have the Canadian experience as a basis for evaluation. Tar sands produce bitumen (asphalt) via huge mining operations that involve massive inputs of water and natural gas. The bitumen must be further refined into a low quality oil. It's an energy intensive operation that yields relatively small amounts of oil per day in comparison to the world's largest conventional oil fields (the overwhelming majority of which are now in production decline).
As far as who the U.S. depends on for oil, #3 is Mexico. 42% of their total output comes from the Cantarell complex. It's the second largest producing field in the world behind Saudi Arabia's Ghawar complex. The problem is that Cantarell's production peaked in 2004 and is now in rapid decline. Production has slid significantly since 2004 and is projected to decline at the rate of approx. 15% per year.
Two threads in, & I'm agreeing with both Gingritch & Schwartzenegger,... who hacked C & L?!
Oh, and by the way, if anyone sees Newt slithering about, please tell him I said, "go fuck yourself, you reptilian alien freak."
i was peering at the Hannity/Gingrich pic.....reminds me of Laurel & Hardy.
Loses breakfast and lunch..
Newt said something true?
why does sean hannity hate america?...
theWalrus @ 60:
Yeah, I couldn't bring myself to watch it either. It is a nice Sunday. I did watch that kook from South Carolina though. That was funny even though it was embarrassing.
Maybe we don’t to appreciate this gift we have of freedom. Maybe we don’t take advantage of, maybe too many of us look to the government to solve every problem we have, Health care etc…
Gawd these right wingers are sickening!!
I recall a line from the movie, "The Outlaw Josie Wales". It went, "Don't piss on my back, and tell me it is raining". The republicans have been using the same tactic for years. I have little use for Newt, yet occasionally, he will say something which actually makes sense. All of you who live in America know damn well, the horrible condition our economy is in. Personally, I do not care WHAT they want to call it, whether it satisfies the classical definition of 'recession', things suck! What is worse, we are witnessing the collapse of the financial institutions, which fund managers use as a counterbalance to their more risky holdings. On the whole, the Puget Sound region, where I live, has been able to absorb the inflation. However, it cannot escape the economic problems indefinitely. But, my heart goes out to my fellow citizens in the Great Lakes area, and other areas, which are being crushed right now.
If you were to make a list, in order, of the individuals who have destroyed the economy, Phil Graham would be at the top of the list. What he has done, is absolutely criminal.... criminal! And yet he refuses to accept responsibility, or show any remorse for what he has done. Instead, he comes on TV, and calls the American people 'whiners'. Sorry Mr Magoo, I know it is not raining out.
Hannity: Maybe we DO whine to much.
Newt Grinch: Things are bad for the little guy, just like we promised in the Contract on America. I guess one can expect a little grumbling from the worthless eaters.
Hannity: That's what I meant, maybe THEY whine too much.
How about new bumper stickers:
CITIZEN WHINER
Twilight of the Sad Sacks. It isn't even fun to see Hannity neutralized any more. The clowns who pretended to worship Don Ronaldo (but who worshipped money instead) now can't even remember what the old player stood for, as if they cared even back then. Bush is more directly opposed to Reagan's thought (if we can call it that) than Nikita Khrushchev would have been. The further up the pyramid of tyranny you go, the closer you get together. No wonder W has suddenly found a soul-mate in North Korea.
I really hope that Hannity chokes on those words. This announcement might make it on the Sunday evening news, but brain dead Hank Paulson according to Bloomberg is going to say that the American tax payer is going to have to cough up 15 billion more in make believe money in order to prop up Fannie and Freddie. On top of the make believe 140 billion from rebate checks, this will do wonders for us. More dollars equals more inflation. Also hearing that tomorrow another major bank is going to be taken over after becoming insolvent. But not to worry. Everything is just fine....Gulp
Hold on a sec. Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly, Coulter, as nauseum, all have one thing in common:
They all WHINE for a LIVING.
Without whining, they'd all have to go get real jobs. If they could find them.
you know what? seriously, I'm sick of this "some people" and "they are saying" and "some folks" this and "certain people" that. it was bad enough with the "some people are saying Mr. Kerry was a coward during Vietnam". it was bad enough when they were talking shit about the challengers. but its even more offensive I think when they talk about buth the challengers and the dis-satisfied constituents in their own camp.
I say its time to stick it to them. I say its time to challenge them by asking them "who is whining too much". what is this "we" bullshit, Mr. Hannity? when you say "maybe we do whine too much", who, exactly, are you asserting is whining? *who* is whining, Mr. Gramm, Mr. McCain? who, specifically, needs to stop whining?
Lee Iacocca?
Bill Gates?
Scott McClellan?
Bill Smith the 45 year old fabricator from Duluth who lost his job?
teachers?
nurses?
veterans?
come on, straight talkers! come on, you no nonsense tough guys! who, specifically, is whining? what have they said that was so whiny? articulate this, or - well - quit your fucking whining...
because whining about whiners is redundant. and kind of a bitch move.
Well, that didn't take long. front page of this evenings New York Times. The American people just bought Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Gee, I wonder if I qualify to go to the Fed window with hat in hand as well?
www.nytimes.com
The implicit guarantee was a useful device both for the companies and the federal government. It has enabled the companies to get money in the debt markets at rates far lower than other companies and close to the same as treasury securities. At the same time, the Federal government did not have to record on its budget any significant liabilities for the large subsidy it was, in effecting, providing to the companies. Yet it also raised concerns among critics, who said it was unfair to rival companies and that it promoted a management laxity since executives knew that the companies could always count on a hand from the government if they began to falter.
Now, in the face of market turmoil in recent days, a quiet yet dramatic policy shift has occurred. Government officials no longer deny the existence of a guarantee. Instead, senior officials at both the Fed and the Treasury have been talking in recent days of possibly taking steps to “harden the guarantee.”
I live in Kentucky, and most of the hourly workers at my manufacturing company make less than $11 an hour. After city and state taxes, social security and their share of medical insurance, I'm guessing take-home is roughly $1000 a month or so. That's to cover all food, rent, gasoline, car insurance, doctor bills, etc.
When you're barely making it anyway, high food and gas prices really hurt.
The dems need to work on their tactics: this is a perfect chance to show that it is the Republicans who are the true elitists.
so i guess neither of these fathead gasbags got invited to bohemian grove this year..?
i suppose someone has to hold down the fort while the fatcat boys club frolics about nekkid through the redwoods...
Just about anything out of this guy's mouth is a whine about liberals, democrats, blah blah blah.....Just another panty waist, lazy, right wingnut hypocrite, pretty much a job requirement at Fixed News.
Speak for yourself you microcephalic gobshite. Don't you even include me in your fucked up little "We."
After 28 years of conservative incompetence, mis-rule, corruption and out and out stupidity...
It's Time For Mourning In America.
Whiners? I'd like to see the whining when we slip the rope around Sean's neck. That would be a sight to see.
Appropriate Poitical Cartoon:
Mike Luckovich - "Straight Talk"
I simply cannot watch these two.
The NY Times is reporting that Bush is preparing to ask Congress to strengthen his bailout guarantee for Freddie and Fannie. He has already made a guarantee of some sort it appears. He must have gotten the authority the same place he gets all the authority he doesn't have but exercises anyway.
Will the Democrats capitulate as with everything else?
The whining over this will be unparalleled.
Here is the NYT link.
is it not amazing that watching fox is like watching the real life version of network?
i wonder when hannity sits with his family around the breakfast table, if his entire conversation is also made up of talking points
cuz no way has this guy ever had an independant thought in his entire life
and fuck newt
Well, Hannity ought to know something about whiners - as he is one of the LOUDEST.
However, if Hannity has a problem with understanding what a recession Really is, he might want to consult with GWB who explained it quite succinctly in Wash, DC on Feb 19, 2004:
"Recession means that people's incomes, at the employer level, are
going down, basically, relative to costs, people are getting laid off."
Any Questions Sean??
Reminds me of the Gerald Ford faux pas.
Hannity is a blockhead loud mouthed dimwitted asshole.
He kinda resembles this bungling loudmouthed blockhead dimwitted asshole.
http://www.smh.com.au/ffximage/2006/12/19/fred_flintstone.jpg
Hannity and Colmes watching TV.

#33 is absolutley correct. The rich and republicans believe they shouldn't have to pay taxes and its perfectly ok for the working mom's and dad's to foot the bill for any whimsy they concoct and they call us liberals as if its a bad thing and then don't mind at all having us liberals pay for stadiums and sports franchises for their rich friends do they? And who reaps the benefits? well of course its them, the rich and republicans!
Their days are numbered as sure as the sun rises.
What they've done to us and this country and respect around the world warrants jail sentences for the lot of them.
How I would love to see Kimbo Slice repeatedly punch Hannity in the head until his face resembled his brain, a pile of mush.
This is the Newt I know to be? TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF, are we Newt?
Hannity, go to HELL!!
Thousands dead in a pointless war.
A weak dollar, falling further everyday.
Gas at $2.00 a gallon.
Gas at $3.00 a gallon.
Gas at $4.00 a gallon.
Gas at $5.00 a gallon?
Osama bin Laden laughs at us from the safety of our 'ally' Pakistan - as he has been doing for SIX YEARS.
Our un-regulated financial system crumbles before our eyes.
Nothing is done about global warming.
Millions of Americans losing their homes.
Our tax dollars being shoveled in to the vaults of crooks like Blackwater, Halliburton, KBR, etc.
Trillions upon trillions added to the national debt.
Tens of millions stuck in crap jobs just so their kids can have second rate health care.
Government corruption unchecked by the media or the Attorney General.
Sean Hannity doesn't get bothered by little things like I've listed.
He only gets upset about the really big issues.
Like the President getting a blow-job.
As Tonto would say to the Lone Ranger: what you mean "we", paleface? Hannity has only one reason to whine, he's mindless, witless, worthless. OK, that was three reasons.
The Neo-nazi republicans have to go with the stupid comment made by that un-American redneck. The reason is that their idiot made that comment. The right wingers have no choice.
McBush is the the republican idiot that thinks that this republican idiot phil gramm is a genius.
"I guess when you make over five million dollars a year like Hannity does, no worries about health care for his family, paying for gas and the high cost of food really isn’t a big deal to him and many rich conservatives. You know the new term is “economic slow down.” We’re not struggling, there’s just a little bump in the road so suck it up people!"
The top 1% will always look down on the other 99%... Doesn't matter what party they claim, we're just not worth their consideration except when it benefits themselves.
I will keep repeating that until the bottom 99% finally accept that our only choice is to either buy our government back, run some normal people for congress/president, or revolution. Those are your three choices to make a change.
Otherwise, just go back to watching American Idol and some infotainment news program about Britney Lohan Jolie's new baby she had in rehab while her baby's daddy makes a lame attempt at a music career... After all, isn't that more important than freedom?
Hannity just got a new giant contract. Things are great for him.
In a nutshell, this is how the new system will work. Get used to our "new" economy. Print paper. Loan paper to paper loaners. Paper loaners loan $6mil worth of paper to Raoul, my illegal alien 7-Eleven clerk who makes $6 of paper/hr. at 7-11, but has a 12 bedroom/4 bathroom house and a Hemi. Raoul goes belly up when the interests rate resets due to the paper being worthless. Raoul goes to "Just walk away.com", and just walks away. Raouls neighbor gets Raouls weeds and blight from abandoned bigfoot. "Bank of Dumb Arse" that loaned Raoul 6mil goes under because Raoul walked away. Government prints more paper to bail out "Bank of Dumb Arse". My taxes go up to bail out government. Everything costs more, because paper is more worthless than the day before. Beautiful.
That's all we need to know. We are without a doubt, the largest debtor nation on the face of the earth. Bread and soup lines won't be far behind.

There is really no option on this. They pretty much have to bailed out. Sad but true.
Well, my goodness, if a smart man like Phil (the turtle) Gramm says we're all whiners, then Sean just has to agree.
Speak for yourself, Sean. The only thing I whine about is jerks like you.

Well said, my friend. Well said.

How dare you say that of Laurel & Hardy , have you no shame , to insult one of the worlds finest comic teams , retract that statement or meet me at 100 yards with water pistols ( or cap guns if you prefer .
Oh and sean and negt , if it wasnt for forth class you would not have any .

You mean that the oil companies knew that we had all the resources to avoid being held up by the Arabs,yet they closed refineries and let us get into this mess? Is that what you're saying, Sean? THen why are we giving these traitors huge tax breaks? They aren't patriotic.
Has anyone known Hannity to do anything but whine?
In the latest recession news, Reuters reports the FED and Treasury announced emergency measures for the GSE's, Freedie and Fannie. Times online says that up to 15 billion will be infused.
The GSE's are insolvent.
Mike Smollon @ 59:
I'd pay BIG money to see that, and if I had any left over I'd give you all of it if you beat that bastard to a bloody pulp!
One right wing hack (who was run out of congress in disgrace) telling another right wing hack he's out of touch and un-Ronald Reagan-like. The right really have nothing for America do they?

When the shit REALLY hits the fan and perhaps causes a revolution I'd love to send the New Hampshire Ron Paul mob after him to do a little more than taunt him.

OK
Hannity makes some $ 5 million some year because FOX is able to con adertisers to pay FOX money , because there are some Americans that buy the Hannity line and watch Hannity and supposedly buy the products that these Hannity/Type advertisers want to sell.
Is this a rational Business Model, or is it a "quick rich scheme" praying in gullible people?
Spend FIVE MINUTES with Sean Hannity on the radio on any day of the week... and you will learn quite quickly that he still blames everything on Bill Clinton. He has a profoundly blind eye to the catastrophic years of the Bush presidency... and wallows in his own historical "glory sheen" of THE PERFECTION OF RONALD REAGAN.
it's gonna take hold, folks...
'Nation of Whiners' Could Have Credence
ABC News - 2 hours ago
By KATE SNOW and LEE FERRAN This week, former Sen. Phil Gramm, R-Texas, economic adviser to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., gave an interesting persepective on the nation's economic concerns by calling the US a "nation of whiners.
mcSAME's media is doin' it's job...
Yea, those stupid whiners who speak out. Why not take Hannity's advice and shut people up. We may live under "tyranny" as he calls it, but at least we will not have any more whining in our free nation.
Does Hannity pay attention to what he is saying?
Captain Bitter Whiner Husein Kangaroo, may I introduce you to Down the rabbit Hole.
You are right, if Freddie and Fannie are not bailed out, the world markets collapse.
So we raise the national debt limit by two trillion or whatever this will take, and forestall the inevitable, for a while.
Sooner or later the world will call in their loans big time when they realize we are exactly like a drug addict with a line of credit at the pusher man's window. and then we are toast.
Dear Down the rabbit Hole.
This New Economy has been with us since the eighties (or even earlier) when we stopped making things and started trying make it only bets about what assets would make us money, without making anything but making the right bet.
That has always been with us but without manufacturing it is a house of cards that we have built.
You bet on a stock, you bet on real estate. You buy things with your paper, they go up in price and you make money.
All you need to to do is make the right bet.
The company doesn't need to make money it needs to have a stock that goes up.
You buy a house not for a place to live but as a means to make money. You stay for a while you flip it.
This economy is hitting the wall and that won't play.
Sooner or later we will be toast.
Our New New Economy will look more and more like the third world.
Five per cent uber wealthy or nearly so, ninety five per cent poverty.
There will be a lot of whining but the Corporate Media will not report it.

Nah your to big for him , me Im 60 , 5' 8" , 185 lbs and wear a size 13 ring ( metal worker ) I promise to dot his eyes .
I LOVE THIS!!!!!! They are so damned dumb that they will do that which alienates everyone BUT the 25% psycho group. This is awesome!
WTF @ 93:
No, it's the same Newt. It's just that things have gotten soooo fucked up in the past 15 years that Newt and Buchanan look like pictures of sanity compared to the neo-con/GOP clowns running around now days. I like to use Newt as a yardstick as to how bad politics has gotten in this country. If you thought things were bad in 1994, it ain't nothing compared to now.
OMG, hannity getting "schooled" by newtie; will wonders never cease.
Wow, the big mouthed wingnut Whiners, Hannity, O'Liely, Rush Limburger, Bush and Cheney, etc. are actually whining that Americans are whining???
I wish these Fascist Neo-Con 2 year old spoiled brats would stop their constant Whining and get off their fat asses and actually do something constructive.
Down the rabbit Hole @ 99:
[...] Bread and soup lines won’t be far behind.
caller to randi the other day, opined that obama was promoting the faith-based initiatives
for just this reason... the coming depression...
sounds reasonable to me...
I"m sicking of hearing about Reagan.
Let's just dig up his body so these clowns can have sex with it so we can move on.
I won't watch Hannity, he's a whiner.
I just came on here to whine some, and spread my general whininess around. I want others to whine with me. Im used to be simply bitter, but whining is working out better for me.
Alice X (Chomsky Nader) status quObama - change you can pretend in - @ 113:
There was another way but the idiots in Washington were to affraid to do the right thing. That would have been shutting down the Federal Reserve and going back to what the Constitution called for which were treasury banks that had dollars backed by gold and silver not funny money fiat currency that isn't worth the paper it's printed on. We will all be paying for this as well as our children and theirs as well for decades to come.
Geez, Ronald Reagan has been deified by these folks. "Ronald Reagan would not be happy with your BAD attitude, little Seany. You must only say evil things about liberals. I'm sure He would agree with you that that average American should just smile and whistle with a can-do attitude while the economy we gave them collapses all around them and we make off like bandits, but you can't say it out loud. It might cause a hex-like curse. Just like Schumer created a hex-like curse."
For Republicans, it's whining because we should have pulled our lazy selves up by our bootstraps and worked harder. That is, until one of them loses their job, house, or yacht. Then, it becomes a recession.
From the same people who think those dirty sluts shouldn't be allowed to get abortions. Until it's their daughter that gets pregnant. Because their daughters aren't sleeping around, they simply "made a small mistake".
Hannity needs to take his gun, use his Bible as a silencer and and rid the workd and airways of the ssecond most untruthful and biased talkshow host . . he is also welcome to help Rush do the same
Well I don't think that anyone would argue that the republiscums are for the most part a bunch of whiners. Definitly the 19% still clinging despertly to the insane idea that the bush administration wasn't the most criminal in the history of America.
I've never seen Sean Hannity do anything but whine...I thought that was why Fox hired him in the first place!
I thought whiny republicans was how we ended up with the Contract on America in 94.
A psychotic, self-loathing, hate-filled windbag has a temporary moment of self-analysis and comes up with what???? "A nation of whiners!!" Well, call the American Psychological Association. We have next year's keynote speaker at the annual conference. All attendees will be enraptured by the depth of this insight. An honorary doctorate must be in the offing.
It's almost like we're bitter or something. Oh wait.. that's the other guy so that's a bad thing.
Here's a thought experiment:
Imagine that in some parallel universe, an Obama aid just called Americans whiners.
Now imagine how Hannity would spin that.
My guess is that the word "elitist" will factor prominently.
Hang em high!! http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2008/03/17/bernanke-bails-out-bear...
alzuben @ 127:
He has tried things other than just whining. He tried math once, in his book "Let Freedom Ring". It wasn't a pleasant sight, though, so he went back to whining.
Vincennes @ 2:
You forgot to add that Republicans (like Hannity) are f***king assholes. There's an article about Florida in Time magazine highlighting all its very serious economic and environmental problems, and the Republican administration says that there are no problems. If we "think positive", maybe the problems will just go away, just like the shitty economy, low dollar value and rising gas prices. For 8 years, these pricks have "talked the talk", but have failed to "walk the walk".
These right wing weasels are finally backed into a corner by their constant lies and spin. Hannity will gnaw his own foot off to please his Republican masters....he just can't figure out which one McCain wants him to gnaw!
Speaking of old sleazeballs, I see that Newt Gingrich is trying to make a comeback. The Republicans really believe in getting a lot of wear out of their politicians. Since they give a lot I guess they expect a lot.
I thought most of these old retreads were serving time.
So the way we keep it a great country full of promise is not to whine when things get oops upside your head bad. Is that the spirit Sean? One mans whining is another mans self preservation. I don't want to live in your country Sean.
Republicans do whine too much, I must agree..!
Where's your American flag pin?
Don't raise my taxes.
Your God isn't as good as my God !
I want my pudding... I want my maypo.
Republicans are whiney Americans.
$4.50 gas is good for the environment. $6.00 gas is even better. $8.00 gas is great!
Stop whining.
I'm sure Sean Hannity's children won't go hungry.
Nor Gingrich's.
However, whether or not we whine too much isn't really the point.. it's more going to be about when serious things start happening due to the economy's downturn.. that is to say, more than the things that have already happened.
All great empires fall. It's just a matter of time.
It will also be interesting to see what happens to our situations depending on who gets in office.. the old white guy or the young black guy. What a race!
Could Hannity be more of an idiot? How??
From Hannity and Gramm's position--rich and privileged--there is NO reason to complain about the American system.
But who ARE the whiners? They are the RICHEST people in America. They are the RIGHT-WINGERS who hate freedom and justice. NOBODY whines more than a rich man over his taxes...nobody. Nobody whines more than a polluter, or an employer, or a banker over regulations.
The working class asks out of NEED. The rich ask out of GREED.
This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that no matter how ridiculous a statement is made by a republican, the tools of the right will circle the wagons to defend it. These comments should be made into ads that run 24-7. Until the democrats realize the level of hardball that must be played against these people, I just don't know how we can win. I work in advertising, and can think of several directions to take this campaign that would CRUSH the McCain candidicy once and for all.
Sean Hannnity is A whiner, each time fox news comes on. with him crying about the dems, and how bad it will be if they are in office.
All these fascist millionaires do is whine that they may have to pay taxes! That is the basis of their entire existence! Whining about taxes! If they raise taxes for the common good, then guys like me (Hannity), will ony have 8 million dollars of disposable income to play with instead of 9 million! That's not fair. Whine, whine, whine!
But if your middle class or poor, and losing your home; "shut up you pussies!"
Sean should be one of the first to get the guillotine treatment!
"ra ra ra we're #1 ........ in this country, blah blah"
Get to go to a new store ....... nope we can't have that.
Scy @ 115:
Not really, their ignorance is infectious and takes many more down with them every day.
If Hannity was talking about people like him as whining too much. Yes.
Fat-Ass Hannity only whines when his boy-friends don't show up.
Classic conservative voter: Gets his rear-end beaten, and then shouts, "Thank you, sir! May I have another?"
Why does Sean Hannity hate America?
(I wonder how many typed the same thing above.)

Additionally isn’t shammity a Catholic? They teach that not only is envy (whining) a sin but also greed.
Sin, schmin! Ya go to confession, whip off a Rosary and all’s good ’til next week.
I thought Catholics consider whipping off a sin too.
