Sean Hannity's Wingnuttia: They're not delusional, they just live on a different planet
Monitoring Fox News can take a terrible toll on one's mind. One of the coping mechanisms I've developed is just to think of these as reconnaissance missions to Planet Wingnuttia, which is an entirely different planet in an entirely different dimension than ours.
Fox is just relaying transmissions from this planet, and people who watch it believing they're seeing news from here on dear ole Planet Earth get terribly confused, even deluded. So it's important to monitor these transmissions and help keep the confusion down.
Take last night Sean Hannity program, for example. If you managed to watch the whole hour last night without suffering catatonia-inducing brain damage, then here's what you would have learned is happening on Planet Wingnuttia, where all the raging (and we do mean raging) talk is about Arlen Specter's defection (that lowlife scum, seems to be the reigning opinion):
-- Hannity informs us that Specter is wrong about the GOP moving farther to the right -- "if anything, the Republican Party has moved to the left in recent years."
-- Hannity and Newt Gingrich think the only thing Republicans need to get back in the electoral game is another "Contract On America." Now there's some fresh, original thinking.
-- Obama is "so radically left," Hannity avers, that he has created an "opportunity" for Republicans.
-- Indeed, Obama will be the "biggest asset" for Republicans in coming elections.
-- We're celebrating "the first 100 days of America going down the drain."
The only feasible, rational explanation for this is that these are transmissions from an alternative universe. One that closely resembles Planet Bizarro:
Sean is listening to those voices in his head again.
"Anyone that makes less than $150K in this country, has no business voting Republican."
when is his water boarding?
Sean is just paying attention to his.
"When are we going to stop trying to tell elected officials what to do. Our job is to spend the taxpayers' money the best way we can." -- Tommy Watkins, Justice of the Peace, Crawford County, Arkansas
Shammity is in it for the money. As lomg as there are advertisers, there will be people willing to spew the garbage.
I'm really not sure if Hannity believes the crap he spews. 21% of wignuts who follow politics and watches him is still a lot of the population and he makes money off of them. Let these people move even further right by listening to this wind bag. We're seeing the results. People leaving the party, Bachmann's, losing seats etc...
is intended to be a factual statement
Rupert "Fux" Murdoch must really hate America. Nothing has polarized the political climate in these once United States as much as Fux Noise.

say anything about getting water-boarded for charity?
I can't bear to watch anything he does. I have a lot of nausea as it
is and even 30 seconds of that putz would make me hurl.
however watch him being waterboarded with great glee. Seriously.
Only other job prospect for Hammity

David: Are you sure you're ok?? Having to watch Hanratty for even one hour may cause irreversible brain death...better go get that checked...
BUT, getting Hanratty and Newt on the same set may cause a tear in the universe where reality may have to take drastic measures to make sure that bizarro-world has no chance of seeping in...
AFTER, Hanratty gets done being water-boarded for charity, that is if he isn't the coward everyone believes he is and refuses, he may be in a position where we can actually have him committed to a home for the dangerously demented - for good.
Hannity is just diverting attention from his "waterboarding" feat. Let's face it ol' "magic bullet Specter" is trying to be a mole for the dying RNC, since the Bushco is the remnants of the plan to kill Kennedy. So don't trust that old man. He's a snake. Just waterboard Hannity. Oberman promised to pay $1000 a second to be "properly" waterboarded. One thing for sure, it won't last long. Not if it's done right.

Just why do you think Hanniturd would last an entire second?
There just isn't enough value for your buck any more. You can only buy so many politicians when your dollar is worthless.
cause it will surely drive them so deep into the abyss that they'll have to pipe-in their sunlight.
This kook actually ticks off what the Republican party will represent going forward and he includes "energy independence". OMFG, he's insane and Fox watchers are as dumb as....well, you know, why beat a dead horse.
Seriously now isn't it time to move on to more productive endeavors?
No ones required to monitor Fox news that's intellectual and spirtual suicide.
Benedict Arlen. Hardyharhar. What is this focus on Reagan? Does nothing ever change in the world for these people? No wonder they are out of ideas. Everything mentioned they tried to frame their way--strong defense, cut spending, etc and they failed miserably. I know the Fox news fans are easily confused, but it seems pretty clear they are in a minority and getting smaller.
Sorry, I don't want to send Sean Insanity into (further) hysterics, but how can President Obama be "radically left" when 61%+ of people polled approve of him and 51% voted for him? That's neither left nor far left; THAT'S THE MAJORITY!!! You can't be "fringe" or "radical" when you're firmly ensconced in the mainstream. Obama isn't "left wing" or "right wing"; he's the frakkin' FUSELAGE!!!
whenever one is uncomfortable and/or has too much to lose, it becomes more necessary for some folks to deny, project, repress, regress, etc...
hannity is from planet deception. i can't stand this guy. over paid hater
Father forgive me for I have sinned. Even in the name of being fair and balanced I have never watched Hannity in the evening. Come on, there's just so much a liberal can take.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Hats off to you for the public service you provide---watching FOX so the rest of us are spared the pain.
How you can watch that sewage day in and day out without wanting to jump off a bridge at the end of the day is beyond me. I hope you're getting paid a lot. You deserve it!
David has been fitted with a special bungee cord to protect him at the end of the day. He's gonna be okay.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
My fear is that David will venture out one too many times and we will be drawing back nothin' but a rope.
DN! Take care out there in Wingnuttia! They'z insane!!!
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
They're opportunistic demagogues with a product to market. Not new, surprising or even noteworthy.
What is remarkable and frightening is that these people are being given such a large public platform, bankrolled by mainstream national companies with their own products to sell and society at large seems to be ok with it.
..the Three Stooges!
Here they are America, your choice for Snake Oil Salesmen of America!

Insulting to The Three Stooges - they were funny and talented people who bring a lot of people happiness and laughs. Those 3 morons are just angry white rich bigots, which is all the Republican Party has left.
the "new" MOST LIBERAL SENATOR EVER?!!
Reality has a liberal bias
the first one hundred days have been spent cleaning-up the BUSH legacy. obama inherited a financial
mess, economic mess, automaker mess, home foreclosure mess and unemployment mess. remember
the current president was handed the TARP that changed directions. they said they would buy bad assests. obama is getting that done with private investors. remember BUSH gave out stimulus checks last year that added up to $152 billion dollars. cNBC and others are trying to put BUSH's mess onto president Obama. sorry we're NOT going let that happen.
HAWHAWHAWHAW!(SNORT!)-She made a funny! Oh, that classic wingnut wit! Anyway, we all know that on planet fox, Ronald Reagan never died;Newt Gingrich wasn't abandoned by his buddies in the GOP after they took a hard right and cast their lot in with cretins like Tom "The Bugman" Delay, and eight years of the Cheney/Bush junta gave America 8 years of peace and prosperity as exemplified by our booming manufacturing sector, and our rock solid finacial system. Now for the rest of us, here on planet Earth, reality is quite a bit different, isn't it?

FOX continuously spews this falsehood that the EFCA takes away ones right to secret ballot. IT DOES NOT! The corporatists have no doubt used large sums of money to combat this as you will see countless misinformation about the bill when searching the internet.
Save labor and middle class and support this.
Examples of how FOX is a mouthpiece for those who are largely responsible for the state of the economy

wallStreet dos NOT want it. you know the deal they hate labor unless it's "cheap labor". wages are stagnate so people buy on credit look where we are now. it's profit-margin before country.
That is not just another planet, that's a whole 'nother universe they live in.
...and raise you an alternate reality.
I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.
Honestly, they should change the name of Hannity's show to "event horizon"
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders.

"The repub-u-liar party is going to be known as the party of lower taxes, less spending, less bureaucracy, and less power in Washington." Now where have I heard that before?
The republicans torture me too.

this motley crue are so desperate they are going use deception/lie in order to get some low end party unity. instead of their own ideas and admitting to their past faults they're trying to blame obama for
everything. they used up clinton NOW it's time to use obama to create their party. you can't get better if you don't admit your faults/shortcomings.
Why do the republicani say they want freedom but not Liberty? I thought they were pretty much interchangable.

The scary thing is I know a couple of otherwise reasonable people that believe everything they see/read on Fox News (.com) and spew this stuff during conversations. You can't say "good morning" without getting a "well if you think it's good that the government owns General Moters" type of response. Ugh. I just sat through a couple minutes of Kudlow on CNBC this evening, and listened to him b*tch and moan about the auto industry and bank bailouts. He acts like all of this came about on January 20, 2009. Everything was just dandy until Obama took office and ruined everything. Amazing.
Man smart, woman smarter.
did you notice kudlow has little to say when guests keep reminding him that Obama was handed the
TARP. that the fed and treasury are making decisions and there were NO/little alternatives. this is
wallStreet/right trying put 100% blame on obama. obama does NOT want bank ownership or automaker
ownership......this is sophisticated deception. he won't have that same conversation with rep. barney frank.
And NOTHING I can say to him will shake his belief that Fox News, and Rush Limbaugh are 'fair & balanced' or that Obama has our country on the road to ruin. He's a very bright man and in every other way he's an ideal husband, but he went off the track ideologically when he started listening to Rush on his way home from work about the time Bill Clinton was elected President. It's been a steady slide downward ever since. I truly believe Fox News - and Rush - have brainwashed him!
Now, can someone tell me how THEY are not the true Fascists of our country?
Have you considered having him deprogrammed? There are psychiatrists that specialize in this.
..that's not a happy situation. I've had multiple relationships fractured for this same reason. Frankly, I have a hard time separating what the "right wing" true believers have been convinced of and what they actually are. It's something deep in their DNA this vulnerability to such outright political fantasy. I recall the blog conversations while BushCo was still laying waste to our country around the concept of the "lizard brain". I'll Google it. Interesting stuff.
Right. I believe the engine inside of every organ of extremism is nearly identical. I think Dr. Gupta and Dr. Phil need to take psychology 101 and get back to us.
If it's true then your husband and all the others are victims. We all know who the villains are.

Did anyone catch Olberman on Bill Maher's show recently? He said that Hannity once told him at a cocktail party that he doesn't understand why viewers think they hate each other. Hannity said, and Olberman agreed, that it's all TV nonsense. So does Hannity really believe all the stuff he spews?
That's how I see it - it's entertainment. If you're into this sort of entertainment, you pick a side, and beat up and pile on the other side. And that's fine if the viewers understand that's all this is. These guys are ENTERTAINERS and are on the TV and radio to draw a paycheck. Personally, I can't stand listening to or watching either side. Watching Rachel Maddow is almost as painful as watching Sean Hannity. If all you're getting from either show is one side of the argument - one perspective on any particular issue, what's the point? I'd rather see an intelligent, honest discussion/debate on an issue between two reasonable and respectful people, but that'll never happen, at least on broadcast & cable TV. There's not a big enough market for that sort of thing, so we'll never see it again.
Man smart, woman smarter.
The first thing republicans will do do to decrease power in washington is to re-instate the torture program. This is the best way to deal with those pesky rules the democtrats want to hold the republicans to.

I hope these knuckle draggers never change. They have had their asses handed to them the last two elections and just they just keep talking the same crap. I love it!
I have been saying that for a while now. In fact I called DeMints office and asked them has aliens possessed the bodies of republicans. I find these people are really nuts.

Boy, what a bunch of sore losers.
The Republican part unfortunately has already re-defined itself as a bunk of cranky old white guys about to go the way of the Dodo.
This just in... republicans are busy with rebranding. good luck with that!

I actually watched this entire episode last night. My favorite part, was when they had the "panel" on (um, Mark Fuhrman??? OJ!!!), the chosen Democrat (no clue who he was, worked on the Gore campaign??), was talking about how he was happy to have a Prez who can make decisions, is smart, etc... Hannity interrupts him and says "I want a president who doesn't need to read from a teleprompter!!" --- what the fuck??? seriously?
Oh yeah, right,A Real President like Ronald Reagan would NEVER use a telepropter. Please. I could tell from day one a the Reagan administration that this was going to be the most photo-oportunistic administrations in history. Roger Ailes knew that most of the people believe what they see, and everything in Reagan's eight years were carefully stagecrafted. Even the invasion of Granada was fabricated to cover up the huge military blunder that resulted in our marines being killed by a suicide bomber. Even those stupid Reagan quotes that Hanitwitty loves to play on his radio program, most of those are pure baloney. Reagan would recite his simple minded bromides for his radio addresses and TV speeches, then do exactly the opposite.(no arms for hostages anyone?)
" We're celebrating "the first 100 days of America going down the drain.""
Because with record deficits, 2 failed wars, 911, Katrina, a shredded constitution, lies about torture, alienated allies, emboldened enemies, 4500 American soldiers dead and the prior president with a 28% approval rating, we were floating like a cork before Obama came along and pulled the plug!
Hannity, your waterboard is waiting.
RUN GINGRICH, RUN!
GINGRICH 2012!
Hannity: "Obama is the antithesis of everything Reagan was!"
A dim wit? A bad actor who couldn't speak without a teleprompter? an Iran-Contra charlatan? a deficit spender for the defense contractors? An AIDSgate cold hearted bastard?
We can only hope Obama is the antithesis of Saint Ronnie!!
Was that a vomitfest, a hurlorama, or a puke-a-thon?
Or was it all three at the same time, gushing forth to drown all logic and and reality in its wake?
Republicans promote "less power in Washington".
If you've ever heard a bigger crock of sh!t, let me know.
to become a repug
ya...lets have the repugs create a new contract on america...that first one worked out so well, as it was a scam to regain power
lets be honest, the repugs on capital hill arent really in a rush to regain power....they got theirs
they helped their buds rape the shit out of our country...there is nothing left
so now, they will let the dems rebuild for the next 40 years...then start the process all over again
thank god...by then...ill be dead
Hannity informs us that Specter is wrong about the GOP moving farther to the right -- "if anything, the Republican Party has moved to the left in recent years."
Only like Chev Chelios bounced at the end of the first "Crank" film.
Hannity sure has a gravy job , just take the truth and spin it around 180 degrees and spew forth the bullshit , his audience of pea brains and psychos just eats it up .
is off the rails insane. We are now in full on consequences of the republican ideology run amok. And Hannity thinks the republicans are going to make some kind of comeback? Not with the numbers who are fleeing the party. They are losing their moderates and that is death.
It's depressing thinking that Hannity and family are from outer space. I always imagined that if we discovered life out there, that they would be more enlightened and wiser than us. If Wingnuttia is out there, we should abolish NASA immediately!!!!

I can relate, someone wrote a challenge to liberals in the LATimes.com recently, daring people to actually listen to Rush Limbaugh. This was a real challenge for me, but I was determined. After listening for a few minutes, then going to commercial break, I realized that I could take the fresh emotions of complete disgust I was feeling and transfer them to the products being advertised during the broadcast. It works, those feelings are now associated with those products and I don't even need to carry a list. I see those products on the shelf in a store and I'm so disgusted, I choose not to buy them.
I'm not sure but I think I might be hearing a little whistling past the graveyard. Full disclosure: I voted for Obama when I saw the Georgia polls tightening, I was going to vote Nader. Sean may be right about one thing, if the economy continues on this downward spiral then Obama may be blamed for it. Don't forget, the rest of America isn't as "enlightened" and knowledgable as most of you. And just to be fair, Obama does not bear responsibility for the conditions that brought our economy to this place,...but he sure hasn't helped correct things by turning on the printing presses and giving a trillion dollars to the banks. From what I've read our economy still has quite a bit more room to fall, things are probably still going to become much worse, and the Pres. and democrats are going to be blamed, count on it.
This twit moron spent all last week on his "underground radio show" telling everyone that "waterboarding" ISN'T torture.
They need to do the royal job of waterboarding this idiot, until he confesses to whatever they want him to confess to and then I want to hear the dumbass say it isn't torture.
