Hannity.
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x9ejtfRimQ
I may not have been a big Hannity fan but.
in this case, he's got it dead on..........he is doing nothing more than what every other loyal American would do.....STAND UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS!
He is right on the mark when he says Obama is stripping away more and more rights right before the masses, the blind masses at that. They refuse to see anything else but their precious Obama!
You might be glad SOMEONE is looking out for your rights because it's obvious you're not!
Flame all you want....couldn't care less!
Go Hannity!!! nm

Me too. I don't like Hannity and Colmes at all...sm
they're both so extreme. I do agree there is an awful lot of yelling going on by both of them, when they disagree with people on their show.
Agree with Hannity..nm

Hannity does get carried away with his
passion at times, but there is never a doubt about where he stands on an issue and he is a man of his word for sure. It seems to me that Olberman would be hard put for a show without Fox News and, especially O'Reilly. He spends a large portion of his time each week trying to put them down, but their ratings continue to grow above MSNBC.
Now, when you talk about something being inciteful, there was an article someone posted on here the other day that I took to be very inciteful. It was copied and pasted from some leftwing far-out site reminding dems to never forget how long they have waited to gain complete control of the government and to never forget all they hate for the pubs they are holding on to. They are not to ever let it go and now it is time for pay back. That was one of the most frightening things I have read in a very long time.
I cannot believe that we have let this become an issue of pubs vs dems. We are all AMERICANS! I cannot believe people are harboring this kind of hate for their fellow American. I am very concerned about this and I hope others are also.
The gospel according to Saint Hannity...
Sean Hannity must be your personal messiah and you, his most devoted messenger. His trite, tiresome, buzz-word riddled, rambling rants, raves and regurgitations echo throughout all of your posts and you employ some of the same shallow, superficial strategies he does in his endless endeavors to dodge, deflect and deceive his way through viable political discourse. Intelligence is a terrible thing to waste on such unsubstantiated, vacuous prattle. You definitely have it, but don’t seem to know how to use it, at least in terms of exhibiting evidence of even the tiniest trace of an original thought or idea.
Long on spin, short on substance, fundamentally incapable of objectivity, manufactured, wildly speculative, markedly biased theory-building, jumping to conclusions, void of veracity, without fail, skipping the dirty work of relentless data gathering, fact checking and close scrutiny…no tireless search for truth anywhere to be seen. Too bad. That’s the fun part that bears the best fruit of all…can you say self-enrichment? Inflexible and frightened of fact, running as far away as possible when encountered, paranoid, threatened and suspicious of the huge bodies of knowledge passed down to use through the ages. Not a pretty picture.
Sigh. Yes, I saw the tape and read the FULL transcript, took the sound byte and put it back where it belongs…back into its original context. My husband speaks 4 languages, my son speaks 3, I only speak 2. Trust me, Sam, it’s not fatal, it does not diminish the importance of English and it has not made us any less American. Multicultural high brow rhetoric poses no threat to you or to our country. Let me reiterate this. No one said anything about REQUIRING a second language, just expressed the opinion that it would be a good idea. You got something against the idea of Anglo children “getting along” with immigrant children? That’s pretty cold, I must say.
Once again, there are plenty of ESL programs out there for immigrants and they DO learn English. That is why we don’t need to worry about it. I live in Houston and our Spanish-speaking population is largely bilingual, thank you very much. BTW, Houston takes much pride in its multicultural nature. Most of us believe it would truly be a boring place to live were we not. We do not limit ourselves to one or two flavors of immigrant. We have largely visible Cuban, Jamacian, Pureto Rican, Costa Rican, Honduran, Guatemalan, El Salvadoran, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Filipino, Pakistani, Indian, Afgani, Iranian, Iraqi, Jordanian, Syrian, Palestinian, Lebanese, Israeli, Egyptian, Turkish, Russian, Greek, Bosnian, Somali, Kenyan, Sudanese, Ethiopian, South African, Angolan and Nigerian presence in our midst.
We have adopted an inclusive approach to our immigrant “problem”. We have learned to distinguish between them when we pass by on the street, not only by their physical charcteristics and native dress, but by the subtle cultural differences that are displayed in their behaviors. We are familiar with their customs and we respect one another, not only for our differences, but also for what we have in common. We work together, play together and worship together in churches, mosques and temples. We do business with one another without a blink of an eye or a second thought. Our restaurants serve up exquisite international cuisines. We enjoy each other’s art, music, literature and theater. They all bring color, spirit and life to our city. We certainly do not feel the least bit intimidated when we hear them speak their own language. We do the best we can to teach them how to speak ours. Guess what? It works out quite nicely.
That is why I heard Obama’s statement differently than you did. For me, yes it was about multiculturalism. I understand quite well where he is is coming from. Here’s a news flash for you. That national language debate is not being had by the majority of us….just the xenophobic right-wing fringe. The French part of your post is too weird to address…only to say that Obama used this as an example to illustrate a much larger issue. Again, you need to do some homework. The entire EU has immigration issues, but not the kind of “problems” Hannity’s cohorts would like to conjure up. Again, as you repeat yourself, so do I. Now hear this….they DO learn English, so DON’T WORRY.
Let’s leave Krushchev out of this and save him for another day. And let me make this perfectly clear to you. I am proud of America and the ideals it strives to uphold. But when national pride turns the “ism” corner and assumes an exclusionary puritanical Nazi-tinged nationalism, it has morphed into something ugly, dangerous and decidedly unAmerican.
I don't watch Hannity....but as far as MSNBC...
have you watched Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann? Keith Olbermann is worse than Rush Limbaugh ever thought about being...and yes, I think Rush is condescending and I don't like the talking down on either side. It obscures any point that might be made. I can't watch Chris Matthews for more than 30 seconds and I have never made it past 1 word with Olbermann. And Chris Matthews is realllyyy bad about talking over his guests to make HIS point. So I guess every network has their Hannity/Matthews/Olbermann et al. But, some people like that condescending stuff and find things funny that I don't...but hey, it takes all kinds to make the world turn, I guess.
Hannity is just one person on the channel...
not the whole channel. Keith Olbermann rants like a loon sometimes, almost to the point of drooling, but as long as he is bashing a conservative people love him. Every channel has their talking over obnoxious commentator. It is all about what Keith thinks, what his opinion is, and rarely is there a point. It could be said about any commentator. Still, if I want to see a Dem and a Repub in a split screen where the commentator says OUT of it and lets them have their say and does not allow them to talk over one another...Fox is my only choice. I have seen Fox cut the mikes on both sides if the pundit would not stop talking over the other. I have NEVER seen anyone cut Olbermann's mike. He does not even try to hide his contempt for anyone who does not share his view. You don't like Hannity, i don't like Olbermann. The difference is...if I want to hear a conservative viewpoint at ALL, Fox is my only choice. That is a fact. And why people are so against letting both sides have their say, and want to tear the hide of Fox in strips because they lean conservative when all the other outlets fall off the slide to the left...what does that say about those people? What kind of people want to silence all opposition? What is happening to this country?
Huckabee show on now, Hannity after that
He's got a new show on FNC and it is very good. Hannity's America is on afterwards, which looks to be extremely informative. Whether you like these 2 or not, their info can be fact-checked.
Sean Hannity does something similar. sm
Every Thursday or Friday he does what he calls, "Man in the Street" interview. He has one of his staffers go out in NY and pick random people to talk to him via cell phone. The staffers usually try to get a good cross-section but it seems that most of the ones they get are the late teens and 20 somethings. Anyway...he asked them basic questions such as who was the Sec'y of State. Nobody knew. Half of the people did not even know who the VP was. I was absolutely floored by their abysmal ignorance.
And these are the people who will be voting in 2012 and beyond.
About Hannity, don’t have to watch tonight
I swear, if you miss him 1 day you can tune in next week, the week after or next year and he will repeat word by word by word what he has been talking about. I do not listen of a day except yesterday drove down to my store, about 5 minutes away and then back- he was STILL talking about Rev. Wright. He sounds like a broken record, should give it up, did not work the first time around, not working now.
Hannity's violent revolution..(sm)
This is what's on Hannity's webpage.

Isn't this something like....oh.....maybe inciting treason or something?
Beck and O'Reilly and Hannity...
and for that matter Olberman and Matthews are not journalists, so-called or otherwise. They are commentators, which means they comment on the news, not report it. They share their opinions about news stories and have other people on their shows to discuss their opinions. It's not news, it's not reporting, it's simply opinion and people that watch it know that.
People that watch Fox are not uneducated or 'dittoheads' - it just so happens that our opinions and feelings about government and what's going on in this country and the world jive with most of the opinions on Fox. If you watch MSNBC or others it's because your opinion jives with what they're saying.
It doesn't give either group the right to say the other is brainwashed or pathetic, it just means we are of a different mindset and personally, I don't think that's a bad thing - if everyone was always of the same mindset, the Revolutionary War would have never been fought and we'd all be singing God Save the Queen.
You just have to remember to respect that people have different ideas and beliefs than you do - you don't have to agree, but at least have some respect.
I really have to start watching this Sean Hannity...
you have me intrigued now.
The 5-paragraph volleys were in response to your 10, 12, 14 paragraph volleys, but you know that. As to the plagiarizing...oh please. I can pull two or three phrases out of those volleys of yours and Google them and will find the almost the same exact phrases on about any leftie blog out there. Gotta admit tho...you are a rank amateur up next to some of those folks. You are the liberal version of Ann Coulter. You must be so proud.
And you still have not answered my question, under ANY name and I have asked it to 3 of your alter egos so far. None of you seem to be willing to answer it.
It just seems odd to me that you feel the need to take on alter egos for the sole purpose of piling on and appearing to support each other...there it is again, that need to feel superior and to be validated, and if no one else will do it, by golly you will validate yourself.
ROFL.
Poor gal-so lonely......don't watch Hannity
you seem to be familiar with both. What is that?
I bet you think Sean Hannity walks on water and
Ann Coulter is the Second Coming.
That's why I can't understand Sean Hannity isn't doing it for charity.
I mean, he said he would!! I used to have so much respect for the guy and now Keith Olbermann is making fun of him.
I mean, it's not like it's torture! Right?
Waste 101- Hannity haters, do not read
Although I'm not a big fan of Hannity, he had a countdown last night. I'd like to know how does landscaping certain hotels, buildings, etc. contribute to jobs? What happened to the infrastructure spending for roads and bridges that was to create jobs...even though those jobs would be temporary, some projects would have given a year or two of work. It still seems like these jobs are "once and done" jobs.
Even Microsoft gets a bridge across a highway so the workers have easier access to their other building across the highway. Why, since he's #2(?) in Forbes, couldn't he pay for it himself? 
Hopefully, this list will be on line soon. It's not there yet.
The total for the 101 stimulus spending was $1,234,631,672. The good news is at least we know where some of the stimulus/omnibus money is going.
I saw an ex Hollywood agent talking about this on Hannity and Colmes. sm
He said being a conservative in Hollywood is the mark of death. Most of the stars who are conservative just never mention it, although I did see Kelsey Grammar on H&C and he freely admitted he was a Republican and might even think of running for office. Like you said, go figure. Still, I doubt seriously the MSM will care about BW. It just isn't newsworthy. I could be wrong. No biggie.
You wouldn’t waterboard but Hannity is ready for it, for charity and
I know some who are standing in line to get out their check books.
Chris was excellent
pinned him to the wall like a bug (no offense to bugs out there). Intersting also that he mentioned McCain's former policy chief (or something) Tori Clark wrote a book with the name. I love to see the hyocrites squirm. it sends a thrill up my leg.
Chris is on the way to a meltdown
Not only was he rude but he's getting worse and worse as the democrats ratings keep dropping. Talk about a pit bull (without lipstick). He's attacking his guests not giving them a chance to answer the questions. That's not "pinning someone to the wall like a bug". That's just rude. He should ask the guest a question, let him answer, and then respond to his answer. To badger and not let your guest answer a question you ask while giving free reighn (sp?) to the democratic guest is just pure horse hockey. After today I no longer watch his show. I want some truth and clear cut answers and I believe every guest should be allowed to answer a question in full without the host bullying him (which by the way I do not believe Obama called Sarah a pig). Still is no excuse for Mathews to act like that. He's supposed to be a host and treat both sides fairly. That he does not do. He did this to other guests and luckily they said to him let me answer your question. MSNBCs ratings are going down the tube and they just lost one more viewer.
better than Chris Matthews with a...
nm
I liked Chris Rock's
take - reelection. He said Obama would surely win because what Kenyan ever lost a race?
Chris Dodd
"People are angry about bailouts, but would be more upset if the big 3 go under."
I hope they put his info on the news. I just can't type fast enough to cover it and don't want to put words in his mouth. The hearing was 6 hours long! Whew!
What I got from most of it was that GM and Ford have unsecured debt while Chrysler has secured debt and that the Chrysler CEO would step down if that would help his company. Wagoner (GM) and Gettlefinger are working together and GM keeps defending the UAW.
"Bankruptcy is the wrong approach," Dodd says. "There is concensus that inaction is not an option and the concensus is that we are not going to write a check without stipulations. My sense is that I have a working situation here and I'm going to get it done.... I need the federal reserve and the treasury to step up."
On the other bailouts, "I am through giving them money. I still have 9.000 people a day losing their homes and they (I think he's talking about Paulson) still haven't done anything about it."
Chris Mathews
to run for office? Old rumor, but if true I am delighted. We are once again attracting decent, intelligent individuals with true patriotism for government service. Obama's positive impact on our nation just keeps going and going . . .
why is Chris Mathews
labeled combative. He has an opinion show. When he asks a question and the guest regurgitates a talking point or avoids answering the question, Mathews holds his/her feet to the fire. Remember what the press is for? Finding the truth?
Chris Matthews is a liberal. sm
Ronald Reagan was in the service. So what if he wasn't in combat. He enlisted during wartime. I commend him for that. You might want to look at the ages of the people you are talking about, as well. Some of them, MANY of them, were of service age in non wartime. Bob Dole was horribly wounded in WW II. He's not on the list. You only put the Democrats who served and the Republicans who didn't. Why did you do that? You are right. It is of no significance. By your reasoning, only those who have had an abortion could have an opinon about it. Ridiculous.
Chris Wallace works for
Fox News which is a republican propaganda outlet. An actual journalist was chosen. The Fox get it turn next week which only zealots will watch.
Chris Mathews says debate
can use empty chair if McCain does not show.
I liked Chris Rock's take on the Clintons...sm
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=9sT0KgGR-uM
Chris Matthews had a great way of
breaking it down, they could have bought and paid cash for Joe's house and had $23,500 left. Can you imagine? I wonder how many of Joe's houses the Dems could have bought with the money Obama raised over the amount he originally agreed to accept from public funding. That is, before he decided he needed to spend 7 times as much money as the pubs and put make him be the candidate to spend the most money in history on a presidential campaign? I wonder what all that money is being spent on. And, believe it or not, all of it just averaging $86 donations!
Chris Dodd is going to be on CNBC
in a couple minutes with a press conference. Don't know what it's all about. Just caught the end of the announcement.
Chris Mathews from MSNBC said
it was a country. Funny they didn't jump down him for that. Then come to find out Gov. Palin never said it.
I would not doubt for a minute that the person putting out the rumors and cut downs of Gov. Palin is no other than John McCain. Would not put it past him.
Also, people forget she didn't ask for this. The GOP went to her and asked her to be the running mate. She's proven herself time and time again she is the person who really excited the party. When McCain failed she would bring the party back up, then they dump on her and treat her like this.
Shameful I say.
Chris isn't running for office...LOL
x
Chris was so tasteless and had the nerve to say he was trying to have dialouge...nm
I think the NYT has the right to publish any information that they can verify. If it is classified information that should not have been known to the public, the question is who leaked it?
I've heard the jist of the story but I need to read the NYT article.
This is great. I liked the original by Chris Martin sm
and Cold Play the first time I heard it. Chris Martin wrote this song for his wife Gwenyth to console her after the death of her father, when you lose something, you can't replace...I will try to fix you...tears stream down your face, when you lose something you cannot replace, tears run down your face and I will fix you... It truly sounds like he was with his wife during a really dark time for her. Really touching.
Chris Matthews...Randi Rhodes....and on and on and on...
you have them on your side too. Air America could not make it as a liberal talk radio station, so now they are the Atheist Network. Maybe that will work for them.
What I will never understand is how liberals want to expose all the hatefulness they see on the other side, yet cannot see ANY of the hatefulness on their own side. Well, let me qualify that. There is on liberal who posts here who has a grip on reality and when something it is wrong it is wrong, no matter which side it occurs on. That being said, the rest who seem to post here can see the splinter in the other side's eye but can't see the timber in their own. Frankly, for someone trying to make up their mind what liberalism really is and what it stands for...it does not present a really pretty picture.
Chris Matthews on Hillary Clinton
I Never Called Hillary 'She Devil,' Chris Matthews Says
There’s no doubt that “Hardball” host Chris Matthews used the expression “she devil” when talking about Hillary Clinton — but he insists he never called her that.
On the Nov. 18 telecast of the NBC-syndicated “Chris Matthews Show,” the host discussed Republican attacks on Hillary, who was then the Democratic presidential front-runner.
“She devil?” he said, “Republicans are absolutely demonizing Hillary Clinton.”
While he spoke, an image of Hillary appeared on screen with the words “She Devil?” below it. Later, an image of Clinton with devil horns appeared on screen.
Paul Bedard observed in U.S. News & World Report’s “Washington Whispers” column that Matthews, who has been mulling a run for the Senate in 2010, was “concerned he ruined it with the women vote.”
But Matthews now tells Bedard: “I never called her a she devil . . . You can see it is where we introduce the topics to the show.”
He claims Media Matters for America took the expression out of context.
“This stuff has been cooked up,” he said.
Media Matters spokesman J. Jioni Palmer retorted that Matthews has a pattern of “sexist comments.”
Matthews’ mouth got him into trouble back in February 2007 when he used “the f-word” while referring to President Bush’s ranch during an appearance on the “Imus in the Morning” show.
This past January he stirred up protests when he said the reason Hillary was a senator and candidate for president “is that her husband messed around.”

Chris Matthews... gotta love him.
I actually know him. He's like that in real life, I promise you. I didn't see this particular interview, so I can't comment on it directly. But, when Chris thinks someone is trying to evade a question, he keeps at it. True, sometimes the poor interviewee is actually trying to answer the question but can't get a word in edgewise. We have the same problem when we're with him!
He's a commentator, not a journalist. There's a certain amount of entertainment factor to his show, and MSNBC knows it. Viewers either love him or hate him, agree with him or violently disagree with him. As long as he can pull in ratings, he'll be there. If he doesn't appeal, it's easy enough to just switch him off. There are plenty of times I just smile and shake my head, "Oh, Chris is at it again!" And just click him right off.
I just heard that Chris Dodd also wants to attach...
a proviso for some money to be given to certain groups...ACORN being one of them. What is up with that?? ACORN is being sued right and left for voter fraud.
The rationale for reducing the capital gains tax (for a short term, not permanently) is so that investors will be stimulated to invest again, and infuse some of THAT money back into the markets that will perhaps take at least SOME of that off ALL of us. I don't have a problem at all with a temporary reduction or even suspension of capital gains tax for a couple of months if it will reduce how much we are all on the hook for. Just my opinion.
Racists and bigots like, lets see, McCain and Palin, Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Coulter and Hannity?
Give me a break....
Hmmm.....Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann....
removed from anchor duties for election coverage and relegated to commentator only. Talk about backlash.
That is a famous quote of Chris Matthews from MSNBC...
said when he heard Obama speak he got a thrill up his leg. No bias there. lol.
and who is #2 on the receiving end of Chris Dodd and his cronies???? OBAMARAMA, that's who. sm
You can't call out one and not the other. If anything, they are BOTH guilty.
And who is #2 on the receiving end of Chris Dodd and his cronies???? OBAMARAMA, that's who. sm
You can't out one and not the other. They probably BOTH are guilty, but accuse them both, not just McCain.
Followed quickly by Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. nm
nm
wrong...barney frank, chris dodd, and the
Dem members of the Banking and Finance Committee are wholly responsible. John McCain cosponsored a bill in 2006 and described this exact scenario, as did Allen Greenspan and John Snow (treasury secretary). The Dems killed it in committee. Voted to a man against it. And here we are. Nice try...no cigar (no pun intended). This is one that you can't lay on the Republicans. The facts do not support you on this one. No matter how much you deny it. And deny it you will. You can't help yourself.
I watch Chris Matthews six days a week
(including his Sunday morning show), and I never heard him say that. I heard him say that Africa is a continent with 50-some countries.
Please provide a link to Matthews saying Africa is a country.
Fannie and Freddie....Barney Frank, Chris Dodd...
you left them off your list. The two MAJOR players. Who got the most donations from fannie/freddie? Barack Obama and Chris Dodd. Obama got more from them in his 3 years than other senators did in 20. You do the math and follow the money.
