The insanity of Hannity

in his own words:

3/24/99: "My question to you is from all reports that I have been able to dig up, 2,000 killed in Kosovo in the last year. We keep hearing the president refer genocide, ethnic cleansing, comparisons to Adolf Hitler. Is the president purposefully using propaganda and hyperbole to garner the American public for support?"

3/20/06: ““At what point do we say you are undermining the troops, you are hurting their leader, that this is beyond political discourse, this is hurtful to what they’re doing, their effort?”

“There used to be a time where the left cared about humanity, about security, about liberty. But obviously that's not the case anymore because if they had had their way, and now we're talking about the appeasement-minded, surrender-minded Democrats of today.”

You say you want more of this? You say you want more for your money? Well go check out News Hounds – if you can handle the truth.

Sean Hannity is close enough to being the Devil that the man in red is really irrelevant these days. Hannity lies, but Hannity is a bad liar, a cheap liar without enough memory to be consistent in his lies and so he depends on the bad memory and the insanity of his audience. Unfortunately, those who oppose him aren’t as likely as their counterparts on the Right to call for his assassination by poisoning and even if they were, they’d be less likely to get away with such things than Satan’s other spawn: Ann Coulter.

Of course, you can talk back and of course it’s immoral not to follow in the steps of Dr. Ben Marble and tell Sean Hannity to F*** himself. Do it. It’s not just fun, it’s your patriotic duty. hannity@foxnews.com Do it!

Bonus post

Post hoc ergo propter hoc is one of the popular and feeble fallacies of rabble rousers like Hannity and Hitler. If it happened afterward, therefore it happened because of. Stupid, but enormously popular with those who thrive on the stupidity of the public because it’s emotionally satisfying – and less filling too.

So when Charles Martin called 911 in Batavia Ohio on Sunday afternoon to report that he had “just killed a kid” I can assert that it’s not because he’s nuts, but it’s because he is a political conservative with an American Flag and a US Navy flag on his well trimmed lawn. Patriotism caused a senseless murder. You and I know he’s just the sort of flipped out sociopath who listens to Hannity and gets angrier and angrier until the sight of a kid walking across his lawn prompts him to load up his constitutionally guaranteed shotgun and assert the Judeo-Christian precepts upon which our country was founded by cutting a 15 year old in half.

You can’t argue with logic.
