Yeah Hannity is a real class act.
His mentality matches his sychophants who post here.

I lump Hannity and Olberman in the same ilk. They are the same person, just different political viewpoints. I have stopped watching either of them. Both are so partisan they are annoying. I actually belive that they need counseling.

As I have said before, there are people who talk about other people and people who talk about ideas. I find those who talk about ideas to be much more interesting.

I thought the left was saying guilt by association does not count, i mean i thought that was the defense of obamas own speckled past.

Huh, guess i was wrong.

I agree SawDust, its getting to be where we have 2 different truths in America, and you watch whichever side you agree with.

Salamandagator, I don't understand what you are talking about. I know you are refering to Ayers, but I don't see the relevence to this story.

'"I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did."'

Huh. I guess time really does heal all wounds.

I thought the left was saying guilt by association does not count ...

What does that have to do with Sean Hannity giving this clown a platform on his TV show?

My wife makes fun of me because I watch the new three times on an average night. That is what I have to do to get enough information to make my own decisions on what the story is.

So, the other night she listened to the debate and after the debate, I made her sit and listen to the spin on the different networks. We sat there for almost an hour after the debate bouncing between MSNBC, CNN and FOX. She was amazed at how different the story was for each of the networks. She said that if she did not know better, she would think that they had watched different debates.

Very informative.

One was a guest on a TV show, the other a guest in a home.

I don't get the calls at the end of the article for McCain or Palin to speak about this. Does every politician have to police every single person out there who may be perceive as a supporter? This has nothing to do with the candidates.

Oh I see. When Republicans are involved, it's "all about the candidates". When Democrats are involved, it's "they should repudiate these radical ideas!"

I call bullshit.

I thought the left was saying guilt by association does not count, i mean i thought that was the defense of obamas own speckled past.

Where has "the left", as a united front, ever said any such thing? Do the statements of a few people on this site represent "the left" in its entirety? Why does the right seem to think that everyone they categorize as being on "the left" is in agreement on all subjects?

"Salamandagator, I don't understand what you are talking about. I know you are refering to Ayers, but I don't see the relevence to this story."

This is an attack on hannity for a sediment expressed by someone else. That is something that obama supporters have been whining about for some time now. But it would seem that when its time for an about face they will lap it up without prejudice. And while i see some key differences between a friend and a part of a job i think it's only right to apply the same sediment to both situations.

Hey whatsleft, i reserve the right to make sweeping generalizations when i feel like it.

Don't forget oversimplified solutions to problems that don't exist.

Andy fucking Martin?

Yer kidding, right?

The perenial candidate who's FAILed more often than Spud's had coffee? That guy?

Here's a funny thing about Andy that folk may not know.

His 1996 run for the Florida State Senate came unraveled when it was revealed that he'd named his campaign committee for his 1986 congressional run "The Anthony R. Martin-Trigona Congressional Campaign to Exterminate Jew Power in America." The revelation led the state Republican Party to renounce him.

Did ya catch that shiat?

This moron not only ran with a commitee named "Campaign to exterminate Jew Power" but he did so IN FLORIDA.

LOL!

Wot else does wiki have on the guy?...

Here's some good news.

Just before the election, he assaulted two cameramen from WPTV, the NBC affiliate in West Palm Beach. He was convicted of criminal mischief and sentenced to a year in jail. He was freed pending appeal, but made personal attacks on the judge while on the way out of the courtroom. The judge held Martin in criminal contempt of court and sentenced him to seven months in jail. However, he was mistakenly let out of jail after only a month. Martin never returned, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. If he is ever arrested, he will have to serve 16 months in jail.[3]

At least ya know he won't be back in FLA anytime soon. Danni and the blog-god'll be happy to hear that.

He's also the lying sack of shit deemed most responsible fer them sad-assed rumours about Obama being a muslim, btw.

And Yawn HamncheeZ considered him a viable guest fer his POS program?

That figures.

FOX is so fucked it's SCARY!

Be Well.

/Nice shot at a deflection there RTs but sorry, Obama knew Ayers later on in life as sommat other than the terrorist wannabe he was in his youth and Wright while not perfect is not the big scary monster folk on the right have made him out to be. Actually, directly compared to many Talibaptist and evDEVILical fucksticks, Wright's a regular angel.

//Stay classy, FOX!

///In case you hadn't guessed that was dethspud just then, entering the Drudge Retort as ya do
stage left.

"FOX is so fucked it's SCARY!"

Ahhh, i see, but of course then it's perfectly alright for cnn and msnbc to interview ahmadinejad, right?
I mean he can't be as bad as this martin guy right?
Oh, dammit i forgot it was fax and all rules fly out the window and we all have to get together and chant down with fox, down with fox, until we all pass out from asphyxiation. Those bastards at fox how dare they challenge the status quo, i liked it better when we got our information interveiniously from only one source, not this viewpoint crap.

"not this viewpoint crap."

multi-viewpoint crap

"Those bastards at fox how dare they challenge the status quo"

Challenge the status quo????

Bull shit.

They defend the status quo.

Ahhh, i see, but of course then it's perfectly alright for cnn and msnbc to interview ahmadinejad, right?
I mean he can't be as bad as this martin guy right?

Wow, a glimpse into how the tortured mind of a shithead like Slimingator works!

Spud uses the word "works" there in it's broadest possible context.

Spud is generous.

Spud, like Obama, believes it's in everyone's best interests to talk with folks even ostensible enemies. When Ahaminajihad spoke in NY or on Larry King or on MSNBC there was nobody watching who didn't know who he was and he certainly didn't gain any legitimacy in the eyes of the viewership by misrepresenting him the way Hannity tried to do with Martin.

Yer such a partisan hack.

Yer desperation is showing.

Guess you musta figured out by now that McCadaver is gonna lose by double digits in a month.

Ahhhh, Spud almost feels sorry fer ya now.

Almost.

Be Well.

Ahhh, i see, but of course then it's perfectly alright for cnn and msnbc to interview ahmadinejad, right?

Yep. He's the head of a nation with which the current administration and our puppet, Israel, is trying to pick a fight. It's nice to know what he thinks about that. His opinions on the Holocaust are relatively unimportant.

Ahhh, i see, but of course then it's perfectly alright for cnn and msnbc to interview ahmadinejad, right?

LOL, can you honestly say you don't see a difference? CNN Wasn't using ahmadinejad as a credible source or trying to further a point of view interviewing him. It was more of "look what this looney has to say".

And now on Fox, our Fair and Balanced expert on the race relations, David Duke.

How did Mccadaver's campaign miss this guy and go with Palin? He and McCadaver's brother could do a heck of a job campaigning together.

Martin's past is certainly a valid point, but - oddly enough - TPM "forgot" to tell us how it relates to whatever Martin said. In fact, there's nothing at the link raising even one point about anything Martin said. IOW, it's a distraction.

Salami, what the hell does sediment have to do with this discussion? Are you drunk?

" It was more of "look what this looney has to say"."

Even loonys have something important to say every now and them. But you guy are talking about denying someone their media platform. I don't care if someone interviews the reanimated rotting corpse of Mussolini, the point is still the same, your guests views do not represent your own nor do the hosts represent the ownerships views. Now i did not hear the interview i don't know for sure if hannity portrayed the guy as some perfect guy or a villain or what.

"What does that have to do with Sean Hannity giving this clown a platform on his TV show?"

I guess i was unaware that we are restricting our media to those we like or agree with. I mean i assume then you will condemn the other networks for airing people like Noam Chomsky, right?

C'mon guys admit it, it's fox and therefore evil and diserves all the crap you can throw at them is fine.

Huh. I guess time really does heal all wounds.

Somebody stop this guy!

www.msnbc.msn.com

That's not a network appearance. That's a chat room. From 2003. Dummy.

"transcripts.cnn.com"

2002, dummy.

"technorati.com"

2003 interview on CANADIAN television, dummy

Try again.

If Hanutty didn't scream at this guy and then cut his mic off, then Hanutty liked what he was saying.

Enough for you?

Fuck no.

Chomskey is arguably the brightest man in America today and the fact that the networks have only had him on a small handful of times in the last few decades is a serious indicator of how the media is their to manufacture consent rather than give unvarnished truths.

And Slimygraytard thinks a couple of instances proves his point rather than the reverse?

Wow, is there anyway this guy could get any dumber w/o hitting himself in the head with a brick fer a coupla days in a row?

Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media

~Noam Chomskey

Be Well.

"Fine, here is the link that was there in big bright bold letters tot the transcript of the "chat" are you going to start splitting hairs as to whether or not that counts as an interview "

Hey dummy, you said the networks were "airing" Chomsky. That doesn't mean a chatroom, dummy. It's means on-the-air.

Chomsky lost a ton of cred to the point he was slipping into obscurity over his blatant apologism for Pol Pot. It was so bad that quite a number of very liberal academics took offense to it.

Then, 9-11 and George W. Bush happened. Then, he became vogue again.

Nulli,

Question: How much air time has been given to Thomas Sowell?

Note - I don't ask this as a 'gotcha'. I have no idea if he's been given any kind of air time or not, and I figure if anybody on the blog would know the answer to my question, it would be you.

"How much air time has been given to Thomas Sowell?"

Did you just pick a name out of the hat? Why not ask how much air time has been given to David Duke? Answer: A lot more than Noam Chomsky. In fact, I heard he was on Fixed News today.

Noam Chomsky is vastly more famous around the world than Thomas Sowell.

As for Pol Pot, of course the rightwing lunatics will distort what he and his frequent co-author Edward Herman said.

As for Pol Pot, of course the rightwing lunatics will distort what he and his frequent co-author Edward Herman said.

I am well aware of how US actions contributed to Pol Pot's rise to power. Nevertheless, you AGAIN deflected. Do you deny that Chomsky was a blatant apologist for Pol Pot's actions?

Yes, the US's late bombing runs destabalized Cambodia and paved the way for Pol Pot. However, NOBODY in the US government forced Pol Pot to murder over 3 million of his own people.

You know, it's OK to call a spade a spade. I know Pol Pot was a leftist Communist, but he was also almost unimaginably brutal. You guys on the left would have a lot more credibility if you didn't always deflect to US transgressions and then act as if the US was 100% responsible for the actions of sociopathic murderers. It would go a long way if you could just bring yourself to at least acknowledge that these thugs were brutal murderers.

Are you going to blame the US for Stalin's attrocities too?

Nulli,

I would argue that Thomas Sowell is at least as popular as Chomsky in the US.

Read the article I posted...or don't. Doesn't matter to me. My aching hands have higher priorities right now, 30 days before the election, than refuting the smears against Chomsky.

"I would argue that Thomas Sowell is at least as popular as Chomsky in the US."

I like Thomas Sowell; I've read a couple of his books and numerous articles. He's one of the conservatives, unlike shitbags like Ann Coulter, that I respect.

Nevertheless, he isn't nearly as widely known as Noam Chomsky in the U.S.

I am aware of the content of the article.

I am also aware that it wasn't written by Chomsky.

I also know that when the evidence of the mass-killings started pouring in Chomsky impugned the first-hand accounts. Then, when the testimonies became overwhelming, Chomsky shrugged it off as grossly exaggerated numbers. "It's probably only a few thousand."

When he travels to Communist shitholes, he gushes that these places are like paradise.

My aching hands have higher priorities right now, 30 days before the election, than refuting the smears against Chomsky.

Perhaps some other time then.

He's one of the conservatives, unlike shitbags like Ann Coulter, that I respect.

I hear you on this.

Null,

To be fair, I haven't read a whole lot of Chomsky. A few articles as well as some of his apologism, steered to by the right.

"Hey dummy, you said the networks were "airing" Chomsky. That doesn't mean a chatroom, dummy. It's means on-the-air."

Hmm, not a very good reader are you?
The questions were sent in to a msnbc journalist and he asked noam.
Once again proving your inability to sufficiently navigate a simple web site.

If Hanutty didn't scream at this guy and then cut his mic off, then Hanutty liked what he was saying.

He is a rightwinger, after all....

"I am aware of the content of the article."

Translation: I didn't read it.

"I am also aware that it wasn't written by Chomsky."

Hermans speaks for Chomsky. They are frequent co-authors. Of course, I could find a response by Chomsky himself if I thought you would evaluate it with an open mind, but I don't, so I won't.

And the proof of that is this ignorant statement:

"When he travels to Communist shitholes, he gushes that these places are like paradise. "

That's total horseshit.

Translation: I didn't read it.

I perused it, saw the general gist of it and I am well aware of the charges being levied as I've read them before.

That's total horseshit.

I've read his own words to that effect.

I thought you had moved away, 30 days left in the election cycle and all that. Since you haven't, can you refute this:

I also know that when the evidence of the mass-killings started pouring in Chomsky impugned the first-hand accounts. Then, when the testimonies became overwhelming, Chomsky shrugged it off as grossly exaggerated numbers. "It's probably only a few thousand."

Translation: I didn't read it.

Just for you, I will go ahead and read it in its entirety. Maybe it covers some angle that I haven't seen before.

Aren't I sweet?

What's the big deal?

BANI has been posting this sort of Holocaust and Jew bashing crap for a long long time here and no one ever says anything.

But let Hannity have one of these cretins on his show and suddenly many of you find your decency?

When Bani returns from exile in a week or so, lets see if any of you get all indignant when he posts one of his plausible denial anti semitic links to YouTube - which as sure as the sun rises, Bani will do as he cannot resist the urge.

Will any of you bashing Hannity speak up when its Bani?

I won't hold me breath.

me = my

(unless I'm in pirate mode)

Devil's Advocates!

Then again both Andy Martin and Sean Hannity could be operatives working as "Devil's Advocates" for the Zionist Israeli Govt.
These gentlemen could be deliberately churning out a well calculated "bigotry" that was well calculated to sop up sympathy in America for the fascist and illegal State of Israel!!!

It's gotta be painful for the knee-jerk Jew haters on the Left when some clown like Martin comes along -- on Hannity's show no less.
