Is Sean Hannity urging Americans to armed revolt?
By David Neiwert Wednesday May 06, 2009 12:00pm
We've been wondering for awhile about the unhinged rhetoric that's been coming steadily from the mainstream right since Obama's election, and the kinds of effects it will have on its audiences, especially over time.
Glenn Beck has become the most notable purveyor of this rhetoric in recent months, but its past master, Sean Hannity, is clearly intent on keeping his spot as the lead foam-flecked dog -- which was what last night's Fox News show was all about. It left Ellen at Newshounds wondering if Hannity was calling for armed revolt:
Hannity suspended his usual “Hannity Headline” to bring a “special first segment of the show” that was straight out of Glenn Beck's playbook. Is Hannity getting nervous as Beck gains on him in the ratings?
As patriotic music played in the background, Hannity, who just a few weeks ago vehemently supported Governor Rick Perry's threat of secession, quickly suggested that an uprising against the government might be in order. “In 1765, Parliament passed The Stamp Act, provoking outrage among the American colonists,” Hannity began. “Now, the leaders of the tax uprising were the sons of liberty.”
Citing the names of Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, John Hancock and John Adams, Hannity explained that they met under a tree to “air their grievances against the tyrannical King George. The sons of liberty would become an early voice for the rights of an oppressed citizenry.”
With awe in his voice, Hannity said that the colonists hung two tax collectors in effigy from a tree “and from that day forward, it became known as the 'Liberty Tree.'”
In case anyone didn't quite snap to what he was getting at, Hannity added that under the last liberty tree, which stood at St. John's College in Maryland, colonists “held a tea party and listened to the words of founding father Samuel Chase.”
..Hannity concluded by saying, “This administration has plucked the tree of liberty bare. It took more than 200 years but it now looks like we are headed back to where we started.” Meaning revolution? Hannity never said one way or the other.
When mainstream talk show hosts, addressing an audience that is politically stymied and increasingly angry and frustrated, start talking about "revolution," they have to be aware that some of the more unstable elements in that audience -- particularly the paranoia-prone folks who have just been told repeatedly by the Hannitys and other Fox pundits that the DHS considers them a terrorist threat -- are going to be acting that rhetoric out in violent ways.
[Y]ou can't tell me there's no relationship between this kind of rhetoric and the even crazier talk coming from the radical right. Because unlike the armchair right-wing pundits who indulge this stuff because it's a useful way to bestir the troops but couldn't act to save their asses, some of these other people, the radicals who hear this talk and then pump the irrationality even farther, to its illogical extreme, are perfectly capable of acting upon it.
Of course, when it happens, Sean Hannity will find a way to blame liberals for it.

That's right kids, it wasn't warrantless wiretapping, torture, vote caging, gerrymandering or falsified intelligence. It was...something...Obama did in his first 100 days.
The delusions of the right truly know no bounds. What's scarier is thinking about the psychopaths who watch this shit and think it makes perfect sense.
Is clearly when your elected representatives raise taxes on the wealthiest citizens by a couple percent.
is inciting violent revolt based on LIES...It is taping into anger -justified- with false information.. tofurther the FALSE CAUSE OF THE RIGHT WING NUTS...Hanratty is a treasonous fool but a fool none the less.
They will deserve the vitriol when it turns on them--intelligent people will know the truth ---their 'choir' will always be willfully ignorant!
Hannity, Beck, ORilly etc. are nothing more than ventriloquist's dummies, with Murdoch and no doubt other billionaires' manipulating their every word. They may believe they're autonomous, but just the fact that they all sing the same tune with similar lyrics is a convincing sign they're dancing to another Piper's tune.
I am living in the dangerous times of 1930's Germany. I can't believe this is happening again..
I'm so depressed.
Get pissed and get armed!
They want a fight, let's give them one.
It's at least Sedition. Where is Eric Holder or at least the FCC when the country needs them??
Calling for violence against other Americans or armed overthrow of the elected government is sedition. Full stop.
His comparison is idiotic. We're not a monarchy, we've just elected our president (with the highest number of votes in history by the way). That's called democracy.
Silly rabbit! It's only democracy if the Republics[sic] get their way!
VA Nurse accused of Sedition:

ugh...
There is the Smith Act, which makes it illegal to:
"knowingly or willfully advocate, abet, advise or teach the duty, necessity, desirability or propriety of overthrowing the Government of the United States or of any State by force or violence, or for anyone to organize any association which teaches, advises or encourages such an overthrow, or for anyone to become a member of or to affiliate with any such association."

The most of them actually have a marionet vibe about them.
Possibly trying to stop a recession, or maybe it's suggesting that every citizen deserves a basic minimum of health care.
Anyway, REVOLT REVOLT REVOLT
these guys must think it's the only way to win power back.
Of course they would see another attack as an opportunity, the bastards!
They sure saw 9/11 as an opportunity.
Yeah, when it was proposed to them in the 1990's, by PNAC, as a great way of getting more power.
You say 'taking advantage of an opportunity' and I say 'complicit in it's undertaking'.
They tried rigging an election -- twice -- and realized it's not going to happen again that way. Their only hope is armed revolt or a terrorist attack. Scary, especially when you think that the worst tyranny in our nation's history happened from 2001-08. We are living in truly Orwellian times, when down is up, lower taxes are portrayed as higher and armed revolt against a more benign leader is urged.
Now they're going postal on the MSM aproach.
Muurdock! Are you listening. We don't want you, big brother!
I figure it's easier to talk tough when one DOES have a benign leader, the cowards. It's "Blah blah blah" and bluster when they can rest assured Obama and more progressive minded types will likely just sigh patiently and get back to business in spite of their foot-stamping nonsense. Even if they wanted to, they never would have spoken out against folk like Bushco. In a million years they wouldn't have the 'nads to call out those thugs.
many more state and local elections besides. And because our feckless Dem leadership, and I use the term with irony, has never even protested, much less investigated these incidents, they are extremely likely to happen in the future. Why haven't the Dems protested these stolen elections?
If you really want to be technical, the Congress doesn't have legal standing to investigate state and local elections.
See, that's what sometimes sucks - the Republican leadership never has hesitated to butt in where they don't belong. It's not right, but they do it anyway.
I think you may be joining your friend, the Savage-Weiner, on the banned from England list.
You really can't reason with that.
Uneducated Anarchist Sean Hannity is a misunderstood modern day Thomas Jefferson.
What a ridiculous, vomit inducing, lie infested rant.
Hannity is not an Anarchist. I promise you that "Anarchists" can't stand him.
But he's a follower of the anachrist. (sp?)
"When mainstream talk show hosts, addressing an audience that is politically stymied and increasingly angry and frustrated, start talking about "revolution," they have to be aware that some of the more unstable elements in that audience -"
His entire audience is unstable.
You have to be unstable to still be a Republican after the last 8 years.
A God Fearing Hypocrite or a racist masochist.
The choice is yours.
That's all that's left.
but he's on fux.
what a fucKKKing lying-assed traitor.
According to history experts in the United States, if the Sons of Liberty were in existence today and did what they did, they would be considered Terrorists.
Quiet Levelheaded, no one is supposed to know that.
It's a hard truth to admit, but the Sons of Liberty were very much a terroristic group, although hardly in the same category that we see today.
They hung their political enemies in effigy. They surrounded their homes and pelted them with rocks. Tarred and feathered them - not in effigy. On one occasion, they surrounded a home where a Tory and his wife were spending their wedding night, and screamed and shouted at them all night.
After passage of the Stamp Act, they broke into the Stamp Commissioner's home and ransacked his wine cellar. They then went to the Lt. Gov's home and pretty much destroyed everything they could get their hands on.
Yes, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter LOL
Listen to the fascist talk about "liberty". Tommorow it will be "freedom".
Hannity doesn't like it when the people get their way.
I think Hannitiy should consider an arm band. It would add authority to his delivery.
Sean's horrible rant would have offended Hitler.
Hannity is a moron, plain and simple. I love how he is talking about the history leading up to the American Revolution. Like he has any damn idea what he is talking about. It's pretty obvious that Hannity was neglected as a child and now just gets himself worked up into a frenzy so he feels something. Oh, and he is a fascist. Here's how Woody Guthrie dealt with his kind:
http://yellingatthemoon.com/2009/05/06/thepol...
Wow. Simply wow. These guys are clearly the footsoldiers in the rightwing corpofascist-led assault on common sense, decency and rational thought. These people are intent on causing as much shit as they can create simply to stoke fear and paranoia and to divide and conquer. Obama wants to save the country and the country is clearly behind him. These people want to destroy the country and their 20% dead-enders are behind them. These are dangerous delusional people who are fomenting revolution and are more dangerous than any islamic terrorist simply by the fact that they have more followers.
There is only one word for people like these: TRAITORS.
As an American, born in the U.S, living in Europe (40 years U.S, 10 years Europe) I have a question. Who's nuttier? Sean Hannity or the segment of the United States viewers whom without, the “Sean Hannity’s” would not exist?
Or am I wrong? Is Murdoch so rich and powerful that he can run an enterprise like Fox, and now the Wall Street Journal to spew lies and propaganda without any need to be profitable?
I believe he is profitable. So there’s your problem. A very large segment of the United States citizenry is just, plain, f-ing, stupid. How do you fix that?
Sean Hannity is the least of our problems, and yet there he is selected to evoke a response here.
Personally I don't bother watching any of these videos and haven't for 8 years.
I believe it's called entertainment. A relatively new spawning of entertainment that just won't die. Hence, he is featured here like the rest of them to provoke emotion, and has yet to be simply discarded.
It continues as a social phenomenon that distracts from the horrors which are being committed by our goverment against us. Instead there is some tweak in the amygdala that makes it seem Reaction=Action when nothing of the sort is actually happening.
Also very short quick changes of selected news (which is not news) prevent concentration on the DIRE matters at hand.
So people are transfixed on pointless pieces of shit like Hannity, Limbaugh and the rest.
Yes, it's crazy. Yet C&L promotes it.
The trivialization and suggested ignoring of the influence that career assholes like Hannity, Rush, Beck, etc. have on people is one of the reasons we are in this current political/social state. Nearly anything can be described as "entertainment".
on civilians in Afganistan and expecting the Afganistan people to thank us for it.
And we call it spreading democracy and/or liberating them
... that you feel qualified to describe the function of the amygdala when neurologists and experts in studying the brain don't know what the extent of its function or true purpose is?
Sometimes it takes a dipshit to foresee what we might find necessary perhaps not too far down the road.
... your reasoning is just as addlepated as Hannity's.
The point is not that the Sons of Liberty hung tax collectors - it's that they hung appointees of the British Crown, assigned to collect taxes that were levied without representation.
For those issues amongst the colonies, we formed the Continental Congress, with 56 representatives from amongst the 13 colonies. Their reasoned debate and carefully thought out arguments gave birth to the Declaration of Independence, and later, the Constitution of the United States.
These documents not only establish that the Federal Government may impose such taxes as necessary to maintain the state, but that our grievances with government, first and foremost, are to be addressed through civil means - hence the combination of the rights to freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly PLUS the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
To suggest that the Sons of Liberty were acting solely in protest of unfair taxation is nonsense.
For you, Sir, to suggest that we will be facing such dire straits within this country as to require armed revolt against a lawfully elected government is disgusting.
People actual listen to shit like that regularly? No wonder the crying psychotic Beck is a star on that station. God that was so awful.
Mr. Hannity is only a paid agent of Fox News. While Fox has been accused of being a Republican or Conservative propaganda organ, the actual political orientation is beside the point. Rather, Fox is a propaganda organ of Rupert Murdoch, a ridiculously wealthy man in the company of other ridiculously wealthy men. The information they disseminate is not for the purpose of propping up an administration, a party, or even a political movement, but rather for propping up the value of the wealthy.
Obviously the wealthy don't want to pay taxes, but that seems a very superficial motivation for the Fox revolt (considering how few taxes the wealthy actually pay, particularly compared to how many they have paid in the past).
Rather, I suspect the tax collector is a decoy. In our previous great depression, there were calls to hang the bankers and financiers. Wouldn't it be far more logical (if just as unbalanced) to call for violence against bankers and financiers and the wealthy today?
I'm sure Mr. Murdoch and his colleagues would prefer to avoid this.
Rupert Murdoch is the Randolph Hearst or our era.
All of these rightwingers ie; Hannity,Limbaugh Beck etc are doing the bidding of the super-rich in this country and around the world. The big problem is your heroes the democrats are in the same business. They never met an opportunity for going to war they didn't like. By years end we'll be in a regional war in the middle east and your heroes will be out on the Capitol steps singing God Bless America and passing Patriot Act 3 or 4. Republicans might suck bigtime but the Democrats are no bargain.
yep I am on the same page with you.
Maybe Americans ought to be worried that a foreign national is trying to overthrow the government. Isn't that a national security risk?
First things first...it's now been almost two weeks since Hanratty VOLUNTEERED to be water boarded for charity. Since he won't even acknowledge that he said it mush less step up like he indicated he would do, you can only conclude two things..
1) Hannity is a COWARD...
2) EVERYTHING Hannity says is a LIE..
This is NOT new news, but it lends even more credence to the speculation that he talks to himself - alot !!
"ok Beck...you opened up another can o' crazy. We'll see...I'm gonna open up my industrial drum o' crazy! Match that, biotch!!"
"And...for the first 500 people arriving at my Freedom Concerts...you will receive a free can o' crazy with my picture on it!"
Let them get the knuckle draggers to revolt so we can smack em down. I for one have been waiting for this.
I think thats what they need to be bitch slapped & say Damm Boy wake up & smell the coffee
hannity is a master of deception for the simpletons. he feeds the HATE to those addicted to hating others to empower their own existence. the RIGHT is so worried that people might respect obama's change. if middleclass workers on the right realize that obama may be looking out for their interest also they may
vote for obama in 2012. the demographics for the hannity show are incapable and/or refuse to cross check information. these same people are into judging others and listening to someone who justifies their
need/want to hate.
and thus my previous comment.
Ya know...I think Sean really needs to take a break from sucking Limbaugh's dick so much.
He really needs to give his brain time to dry.
but maybe nazi Hal Turner.
Is it okay to infer to people who spread violent rhetoric and propaganda that they will be held "responsible" should something happen to Obama?
Who writes this shit for him?
Mark Levin
Hannity is the evil sire of Limbaugh.
Levin is in a class all by himself.
A self proclaimed Constitutional lawyer who turns the Constitution on its head and spins history with half truths, long disproved rumors and flat out lies to mold nitwits to his way of thinking.
What a sick, psychotic piece of filth this "man" is.
His hatred for Obama is beyond pathological. I honestly think he outdoes Limbaugh and Beck when it comes to smearing the President. He's been obsessed with taking Obama down ever since the Rev. Wright fiasco.
Can anyone HONESTLY say that this man isn't racist to his core?
Four clues: putting racist cop Mark Fuhrman on his "Great American Panel", and trying to rehabilitate the images of "Dog" Chapman, Mel Gibson and Imus producer Bernard McGuirk by giving them extensive interview time.
What other POSSIBLE rationale could there be for such behavior??
I really liked the high end graphics he had going on. The clever slogans written on the tree that were all too small to read and the great wiggling effect when the apples fell. This is big time television in the big city. Bang-up job by Faux.
Essentially, it says Hannity is about four apples short of a pie.
Nicest collection of lies and pure bullshit I've seen in quite a while.
Sadly, there are people out there who believe this crap, I work with some. It helps when you think of them as morons.
Sean, I'll defend to the death your right to spout this hogwash, but for the love of Jehovah, will you shut the fuck up and allow your brain to once again command your pie hole?
I posted on this on my blog:
http://blahgblog.wordpress.com/2009/05/06/lik...
might be steering this country into an abyss. A very very bad one.
As I read that, what jumped out at me was that he brought up "hanging". Hanging brings one thing to mind for me and it is the time of this country's worst history. Maybe I'm too sensitive to that word due to the horrid days and images of slavery, but I just have to wonder why he would bring up "hanging" a couple of months into the first black President's term.
The think is, it's people like Hannity, BillO and Beck who will be getting a tax hike, most of their audience will not. So can't his audience see that these guys are trying to use them for their own financial benefit?
Good point.
Redundant at this point, but I have to say it for myself:
wtf is wrong with this man?
that these are the false prophets that the bible spoke of? Just wondering. I am not even christian even though I have studied many religions.
Not only false prophets but false prophets getting rich as a result of their false prophesy. I have a feeling this would cause Jesus to kick some serious ass.
I am not religious but I enjoy creating a good imaginary scene in my mind.
Jesus and Hannity so would not get along...after all, Jesus was a flaming liberal (and from the Middle East!)
...that Glen Cock's and Manatee's ramp up is secondary to ratings pressure. It may be that they have been directed by their masters to bite the head off the chicken more often. (?)
...that turd had a higher iq than hannity.
;-)
Sorry, this may be off topic. Just curious.
Are you the Tyler Durden that also posts on Seeking Alpha?
... as I am more of a Beta man myself.
I didn't even know Alpha was missing, much less that they were seeking it/her/him?
;-)
On the web site, seekingalpha.com, there's a contributor whose moniker is Tyler Durden. In the investment domain, his posts over there are pretty good. In the polical domain, your posts over here seem pretty good as well. I was just wondering if it was the same. Oh well. Cyber space is getting smaller every day.
Wouldn't that be weird if one day we all had to have one, unique moniker for all Internet web blogging? Then the thought police could track us down! yeck...
you know the first rule of fight club is... :-)
'“In 1765, Parliament passed The Stamp Act, provoking outrage among the American colonists,” Hannity began. “Now, the leaders of the tax uprising were the sons of liberty.”
Citing the names of Paul Revere, Patrick Henry, John Hancock and John Adams, Hannity explained that they met under a tree to “air their grievances against the tyrannical King George. The sons of liberty would become an early voice for the rights of an oppressed citizenry.”'
Now say it in Top Cat's voice and you've got it. :P
When are the American people going to wake up and revolt against Murdach, Fox, and the rest of the right wing, fascist, corporatist MSM?
Shush... We are waiting for them to make the first move so we can call it self defense.
As soon as they diversify TV programming, so it doesn't all come Murdoch or anyone else.
this ongoing strategy of linguistic deception is directed at certain demographics that will easily be convinced that all the crisises: economic,financial, automaker,unemployment,gitmo and two war(s) are all obama's fault. it's complete NONsense. the TARP was brought to life by paulson/BUSH. obama inherited
a mess if you will. the RIGHT talking heads will start will the demographic(s) that will believe every word
hannity says. these people want to BLAME obama since these same people VOTED for bush. this is a time for the (r) to try and create an identity. LOOK obama does NOT want to spend a bunch of money we don't have. that's the strategy that was started and has been suggested by many economists. to me it's total NONsense. i encourage people to observe the other countries spending money to get us out of this crisis.
will there be consequences for this spending probably but would there be consequences if we didn't take action?
have a different kind of fear for the future of this country then people who don't have children?
.... will be brought forth by the scion of one of Australia's wealthiest families.
Yeah, Murdoch comes from money, he also comes from her Majesty's Commonwealth. What I am getting at? Maybe, just maybe FOX is a ploy by the British crown to destabilize the US of A, and try to take this nation back?
Food for thought.... is it 420 yet? ;-)
at my house...
:D
We have a couple hrs to go here in the West Coast...
It's always 4:20 somewhere at 20 minutes after any hour. Looks like you've got about 42 minutes until the next one rolls around. ;D
And the thing we're running on in Seattle
Tyler, It's ALWAYS 420 at my place. No such thing as too early. If I don't have to drive and have the goods, I pretty much wake and bake.
Medicinally, of course.
I am going to become a master grower of that stuff. Seems like that is where industry is headed.
and small solar panel units, you might not even show up on the electrical companies 'spike usage' lists these days.
Just saying.
... apparently the similarity shared by engineering students running big honky computers in their own apartments and drug dealers, it is that both seem to have identical profiles regarding their high demand of electricity in relatively small households.
My computer says it's 4:49 here, but I remember 4:20, it was a very good time.
... so I am not surprised you were able to remember 4:20 ;-)
I'll think of you fondly when happy hour arrives here on the east coast in 63 minutes. By the time happy hour arrives where you are I'll be real happy. :)
Hump day = beaucoup meetings all day for me.
Gotta be professional, so go forth my children and enjoy the products of the earth. For I can't... damn you all! :-)
Maybe you could issue a blanket damning.
I shall enjoy the herbal delights that are known as Sapphire Gin. That perky little thing called an olive and a tad of that nusiance liquid known as vermouth.
amounts of negroni left me unable to palate vermouth, unless I restrict its duty/intake to purely aperitif-like purposes.
But enjoy none the less, what the heck... make it a double!
Gin = Juniper berries!
weak?
your east coast source is holding back. we got the stank in phl
... then they come over, they experience some good Humboldt county vintage. And there is no going back for them. ;-)
yeah that is hard to beat, that is fer sure...
we might not have the 'bolt', but there are some mighty fine nugs around the phl-ny area
He is inciting an armed coupe against a democratically elected government. It's treason but thank God there are liberals like myself who enjoy the second ammendment, they are not the only ones armed.
... most right wingers are as lazy as they are incompetent. Meaning that there is not much of achance of the right in this country rising against the government, in an effective fashion.
This is just another ploy by Hannity et al to scare the bejesus out of the last reminder of their audience, times are tough... and if people keep switching the channel they are not likely to return. And Hannity needs to pay for his new "common man" mansion in the Hamptons...
Has the Hannity show changed much in the last few years? What is it? Strickly commentary?
How does he justify being so radical to conservatives? Add "conservative" to the republican lies.
At least his show pretended to be a "debate" before getting rid of the middle man, sort to speak, and go into full blown cukoo endgame mode.
I agree. These rightwingers think the only people who have weapons are idiots like themselves.
I handled enough weapons in Vietnam to respect how much pain and destruction they can cause. I have two weapons in my home I would use to defend myself, but I wouldn't be caught dead joining the looney NRA. And for every armed right-wing militia nut, there are enough liberals like myself that would gladly defend the Constitution and laws I once took an oath to protect.
The great thing is he's ineffective.
Short of watching this POS show does anyone have a list of current national advertiser sponsors on SH and BillO? I would love to send them a note asking them why they spend their ad dollars supporting this kind of commentary.
And the republicans wonder how they can change their party to grow it? They could start by seperating themselves from all these freaks on Fox along with Rush and all his kind. That would be a very good first step. The fact that they are not smart enough to do this, tells me all I need to know about their dedication to betterment of their country.
you would think that would be a good strategy. the reality is these people are easily stirred and can be rallied. they're the militia for wallStreet/(r) party. often these are the people that hang onto their 'guns and bible'. these people are told that liberals HATE them. the (r)party/wallStreet do NOT really care about these people they just USE them. like BUSH did with the evangelicals. you say something about guns and it automatically equates to taking everyones gun away. when they do that they can overlap the gun issue with another issue. what ends up happening this demographic will just vote everythinganything against dems. liberals even if it would help them. some of these people have NO idea why they are republicans except for belonging to a culture/social group that perceive to be like them.
entitled to something. Whatever that may be.
Entitled to look damned foolish with tea bags hanging from their hats and glasses?
Hannity needs a good ass kicking.
My grandmother would have said "someone needs to jerk a knot in his tail" I have no idea what it means either but she used to say that about people who made her angry.
I can only conclude from Hannity's latest rant that he:
(1) Hates America;
(2) Does not like representative government;
(3) Thinks a minority of radical ideologues should rule America and dictate policy for everyone; and
(4) Has never read a history book because he doesn't understand the principles on which America was founded (not unexpected since Hannity dropped out of high school).
Hannity and Beck- all this talk about going back to the way our founding fathers intended America to be. Do their women fans realize that would mean NO EQUAL RIGHTS for women?!? back in those days a hubby could slap his wife upside the head and not get in any trouble for it.
unless you owned land. Which is not something everyone does.
Alas, if they intend to return to the way our founding fathers intended this country to be. I assume Beck et al will be the first petition the trial for reason of treason of the whole lot of the Bush/Cheney cabal, right?
He's trying to get his people moving forward by going backwards?
'Back To The Future' movie
'Forward To The Past' (repuglican version.)
Hannity signed a five-year contract in July 2008 said to be worth about $100 million.
that's obvious.
Think about what $100,000,000 could do to better America, better the world. Instead, it goes to promote this hate merchant.
now.
No wonder he is pissed, he has to pay his far share of taxes now under Obama.
I was wondering what had changed in the past 3 months with the US government, and I was quite sure it wasn't the trampling of the constitution. Since Hannity was pretty quiet during the constitutional transgressions of the Bush regime, on a daily basis for 8 long years.
Funny to see how things don't change: a rich asshole is trying to rile the poor masses to do the dirty work for him.
It is never about legality, or fairness, or freedom, or constitutional purity for any of these assholes. Simply he has to pay more taxes now, and he just doesn't feel like it. Thus the temper tantrum of the century which it is ensuing.
The reason why these assholes are nothing but a bunch of degenerates, is how they pervert the concepts I mentioned in the previous paragraph, in order to co-opt a noble excuse for their purely selfish ulterior motives.
F*ck him...
Have these fools learned nothing from the Poplawski incident? How many cops have to die before they stop trying to incite violence with false claims of tyranny?
Fox must be running in a loop or something because tonight Beck is ranting and raving against ACORN. Jeez, haven't we been down that road before and didn't it end in a dead end?
And you can't move forward if your stuck in the cycle.
Kind of like a hamster wheel
they just can't understand why the american people are so stoopid as to not see what they see so clearly, that they've been right all along and the rest of us just need to sit down and stfu like no good DFHs we are. the sooner we admit we're wrong, the easier it'll be for everybody.
that's why they don't need to waste their time with a 'listening tour.' instead, they need to talk at us and educate us about how wrong we are...
http://blahgblog.wordpress.com/
screen graphics. I was sure they would be talking about that non-stop once the Dems captured the presidency....
Either that, or the fax machine the GOP uses to send their daily talking point is on the fritz again...
well in a way hannity is right, just not for purposes.
barry writing off taxpayer money less than 4 months after he gave them my money(chrysler) not a mention of it on this site BTW
giving more money to banks who use it to pad thier stock and pay off foriegn banks who they hoodwinked in the first place.
letting the torturers off the hook.
massive job losses
gee i wonder why people want to see somebody swing
I really don't think that's what they are pissed about, it's faux outrage - Bush and his crime cabal did far more damage than I'm sure we know and it won't be corrected in a couple of months. They are simply pissed because a black man done got elected president. By the way, for whom did you vote?
The entire mess we face today was exacerbated by his boy W and shills like himself. And the vast majority of people know this.
Hannity must know he's the worst person in the world.
a lot of this HATE/deception is to get the simpletons ready to go against healthCare reform. you know the
deal they will spout off "socialism", "big government" and your doctor being told by the government NONsense. they are keeping the WallStreet/(r) extremists/militia ready to be heard. these people won't even consider what's best for them. they are NOT capable.these people believe government specifically liberals/dems are to blame for everything. little do they know they would learn a lot by looking closer at wallStreet.
Made me dig up this Rupert Murdoch candid camera. Enjoy!

Y'all lost. Your guys got us in our current mess in the first place. The great majority of your countrymen and women approve the job President Obama is doing! Wake up and smell the coffee Sean!!
maybe his peanut brain is thinking Monarchy?
BTW - i found the whole thing rather boring after the start. it had no continuity nor point. I have no idea what he wants. what does Hannity want here? He spent a lot of energy and wasted peoples time, and he can't even articulate what he wants. Very suspect!
I noticed he mentions King George though... is this about King George W. Busch?
The rest is just labels and name dropping.
Sounds to me like old FuckFace has plans.
They are the ones trying to get the country to do things that will cause armed insurrection. They are the ones using the massive reach of the airwaves coupled with the naive mid century belief that if something is seen on the TV, it must be important and true to spread propaganda. It was an extension of "If I heard it on the radio..."
They are crying "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.
a similar campaign, verbatim almost.
I think it is just a collective freak out by a bunch of rich assholes who don't feel like paying their fair share of taxes.
It is all about money, in the end, for these scum buckets.
Note how all these freaks were silent during the Boosh years, you know when the constitution was literally shredded. They only started to voice anything critical as soon as their tax rates were slightly raised. And then... boom! Almost night and day, as soon as Obama got elected and tried to raise their taxes, you would have thought the sky had crash landed against the face of the earth... by listening to their moaning and screaming.
a similar campaign, verbatim almost."
Doesn't mean they aren't:
1) Feeding off each other. Rush doing it gives FOX more cred, and FOX doing it makes Rush credible. It's even better for the both of them that way.
2) In on it together. They all go to that Convention of Thug POSes, that one where mountainous man sweated as he spoke to his fawning sycophants. I'm not even talking about some tight conspiracy, just casual conversations, brainstorming, rebranding -- it's the same shit the Thugs are doing, only less successfully. Like minds.
of a lot of talking points and rhetorical strategies emanating from the right.
i bet limbaugh's ego is so big that he doesn't bother listening to hannity, o'reilly, bect, etc. but, just like the elected republicans, i'd bet a substantial sum all the other right wing jabberers listen to limbaugh, or at least get summaries and highlights of his speil from their underlings.

for Current Week's Talking Points' under Rove et al IIRC. It got everyone on message, dished out the new anti left hate meme ("Max Clelland is a coward!" "It's Clinton's fault, and here's how:...").
But if you look at how they target issues and the well established pattern of attack on previous topics, they really don't need direct communication. Not only does each know what the other will choose and what the other will say about it, so do we.
I never heard they stopped that 'Monday Morning Meeting' thing, but maybe the party is in such shambles, it may have just faded away.
These guys will say anything to stir people up. Last night, Hannity also referred to Timothy Geithner as a "tax cheat" in an offhanded, casual way. I said out loud "And you have proof that he willfully cheated?"
Beck, O'Really, and Hannity are becoming parodies of themselves. Add Laura Ingraham and her recent doctoring of tapes and the picture of nuttiness is complete.
It is simple. Did Geithner pay his taxes in full, late or on time, with penalties? If he did, he is not a cheat. If he still owes taxes unpaid he may have cheated. I would like to audit all the tax hating rethulicans to make sure they are squeaky clean. Obama is the first President to vet his nominations with these strict standards. Wingnuts should be careful what they say because Geihtner runs the IRS.
It starts with a deciding victory and goes to this,

Then some national talking heads stir the pot even more.
When does it turn to treason?
Good job, Sean....
I'm sure that whole extended analogy is brilliant, but the average person is lost after the first few minutes.
The average person out there would have NO IDEA what he's talking about.
Most Americans have such a vague concept of history; they think the American revolution happened a thousand years ago...
You have to give it to Hannity he doesn't let his stupidity get in way of making a point!
"The Tree of Liberty" was a "ELM TREE!"(see Wiki) When was the last time a elm tree grew apples as portrayed by Hannity?
Garden of Eden, about 6500 years ago.
You and your fancy botany. Next you'll be telling me that I was descended from monkeys.
passing out apples claming they were fruits of knowledge
