The Majority Report's Sam Seder weighs in on the mashup that Media Matters put together with one of Fox's biggest right-wing hacks, Sean Hannity and his flip flopping on NSA surveillance.

As Sam noted, like his buddy Rush Limbaugh, Hannity was totally down with the what the NSA was doing under Bush, but now that it's the Obama administration in charge, it's a problem.

Here's the entire clip from Media Matters for anyone who hasn't seen it yet:

Sean Hannity is warning that data mining and surveillance are "very clear violation[s] of the Fourth Amendment," a drastic change for the Fox News host, who was a loud defender of National Security Agency surveillance during the Bush administration.

Media Matters offers a look at Hannity on NSA surveillance, then and now.
