Mike,
Could you enlighten us on how you feel about Mr. Hannity?
-
He's a jerkoff.
-
Some classic ballbusting of Hannity:

-
He's a jerkoff.
I'll second that.
-
I can't see how even political conservatives could like this guy. He's just such a lummox.
I don't personally like Rush Limbaugh, but he is pretty quick. Glenn Beck is apocalyptically insane, which is certainly interesting to some folks. But Hannity's popularity, such as it is, I just don't get.
-
I just joined twitter! Arrgh.
Fredericks O' NPR
All I've read are posts about Hannity.
Is that all there is?
-
Hannity sucks all around but Glenn Beck is the guy that really makes me sick. I think it's his ability to cry at will that really makes me hate him. And the way he says complete fiction but couches it in "Why isn't anyone asking these hard questions??" He comes across as genuinely unhinged.
My wife and I were at the movies and a commercial came on for a special viewing of 'The Christmas Sweater' (his Christmas themed one-man show or whatever) and I let out a loud, reflexive "Aww FUCK this guy!" right in the theater. It was kind of embarrassing because I'm usually a pretty mellow and passive, but my hatred of this guy momentarily took hold and I just had to let it out.

I heard Jimmy Dore and some Beck scientist do a review of this performance on his KPFK show.
I understand there are a lot of bodily fluids involved.

Was that Comedy and Everything Else? Their Beck take-downs, and general political material, are pretty good.
-

No! I said his KPFK show. It's tighter, funnier and shorter than Comedy etc.

No, it was the podcast of Dore's radio show.

Thanks Fredericks. . . I've been meaning to google his other show and find out how to subscribe.

I'm a juggalo now.

Limbaugh is quick and has been around so long that most people have acknowledge that he is just a kind of obnoxious loud voice in the radio world. I know very few conservatives that take him seriously. Unfortunately, Limbaugh birthed Hannity. Hannity - unlike Limbaugh - attempts to portray himself as the ideal for the wholesome American man and by trying to present himself as the image of normal, he then tries to make everyone else look like a threat to wholesome Americans.
Then Beck hit the scene and now I don't even know what to do. That man is insane and people are buying it!
-

I believe the phrase is "Selling like crazy".

Having 70 books out probably helps too. I hope he goes the way of Ann Coulter soon. Remember that loon? Oy yoy yoy.

Spike, this one's for free; call up and call him Rush "Limpblow". Or even Rash!

He really does hate Hannity doesn't he its like every other twitter is busting his balls.

If he keeps it up, I'll unfollow him.

I agree with that sentiment.
Although, I admit to occasionally listening to Hannity for comic relief.

C'mon, Fredericks, let's join forces. He's off for two weeks, so there's plenty of time to plan our strategy. My goal is to bust Sean Hannity's balls en masse. Join the chain! Pass it on!

For you Michael? What can I say? I'm in.

Sean Hannity is a dingbat.

Did anyone in the audience react? Laffs? 'F you!'?
I find Sean Hannity really loathsome, he is so smug and in no way brings any entertainment value to the table. If there were any substance there the entertainment value would be less an issue, but come on, the dude is just a lying vanilla nothing man.
-
I only hear Hannity on talk radio when I'm in the states most summers and the creepiest thing about him (besides absoulutely everything he stands for in general) is the way his callers at the beginning of each call says: "Hello Sean, Thank you for your service to our country..."
What service?

Maybe they have to agree to say that in order to be allowed in the air. I wouldn't put it past this mutant.
-
I just remembered they also say "Thank you for being a great American, sir...."
::)
-
As is customary, every caller to Hannity's show says, "Sean, you're a great American." Then, Hannity replies in kind.

I think Tom needs to institute this policy as soon as possible. Like, starting TONIGHT.

I think he already tried while he was stuck in the Patriot Zone... But it didn't catch on.

Sean Hannity is a dipshit.

Honestly, the theater wasn't that full, so I didn't get any reactions.
As for entertainment value I think Glenn Beck also has none.
-
Apparently Beck and Bill O'Reilly are doing something in limited mostly midwest release called 'The Bold And Fresh Tour'.
I think they are hyping it a bit less due to the Christmas Sweater embarrassment.

That's a shame, because I thought after Sea Change he was really on the way to being a solid, mature musician.
-
Not many people know this, but did you know that Bill O'Reilly actually played tambourine on the song "Sexx Laws"?

I thought he played falafel.
-
He supports Sexx Dereggulation.

Sean Hannity looks like Chuck Woolery, the game show host, after going through a black hole of hell than back. Kinda like the movie Event Horizon.

I have a very, very minor "in" with Chuck Woolery, the only celebrity of any stature with whom I have such a thing. I'm savin' that one, though.
-
O'Reilly has been supplanted by the lunatic Glenn Beck, and I predict within a few years, perhaps when Bill's current contract runs out, Glenn Beck will have his time slot. But Bill is still a voice, albeit the elder stateman's voice who's more interested in selling "Bold, Fresh" than beating down the pablum pukers like he used to.
It's Hannity that's the odd douche bag out. Lacking the talent of the other two, and without his straight man Colmes (he didn't replace him with Noam Chomsky as I suggested), his show has become a souless, repetitious infomercial. I suspect he himself knows it's tiresome, but he doesn't have the skillset to do anything about it.

I haven't seen or heard anything from or about Hannity in months, but this seems right on to me. What, exactly, is Sean Hannity good at? He's not "funny" like Rush Limbaugh, or all "COME ON!" like Bill O'Reilly or stark, raving mad maybe kill himself and other people on the air like Glenn Beck.
What is he supposed to be? I don't think "meathead" is much of a schtick, even for the typical viewers of such programs.
-
I feel like I should be a lot angrier at these guys than I actually am.
I'm not a conservative/libertarian, but I think that Neal Boortz is an alright guy sometimes.
-
They're in full whine mode tonight, let me tell you.
-
I tuned into WSB down here in Atlanta so I could hear the whining and whimpering. It delights me so much... I have never heard AM radio sound so defeated since the invention of FM.
-

I think he's a life support system for that haircut.

Some of my "Facebook friends" from high school are posting upside down flags and saying "the Republic died today."
Really, Facebook friends?
And this is hilarious, because I think I'm probably by default one of the most conservative people who posts here and not that enormous a fan of the health care bill. But Jesus, people. This is a smaller government program than Social Security, and we've had Medicare for decades now. Has the Republic fallen?
I can't stand non-snarky hyperbole.

I think Chris L summed up this issue rather well last night on Twitter:
"Now on to education reform, so that future tea partiers might have a basic understanding of socialism."

I just had a bloodbath of defriending on Facebook. In some cases I considered defriending genuine friends because the friends of said friends were insufferable shrill tools. OK, OK, I get it. 'Maobama'. Hahaha.

I secretly think that Mike is watching Hannity when bad calls accidentally get through to Tom.

I'm surprise you've even heard of Boortz. He is a local guy and I grew up listening to him considering I was raised as a evangelical conservative homeschooler. I agree, he isn't the worst of 'em but it seems like these shows are becoming increasingly more angry. I'm sure it has something to do with how the entire republican party is becoming more and more extremist with every fox news report.

Oh and on another note:
Adam Baldwin (of Chuck and Firefly) is a staunch supporter of the Tea Party.
I thought his twitter was a joke at first:
http://twitter.com/Adamsbaldwin
but he was a guest on Michael Savage's show last night.

I like how all of his tweets are arguments (and half of those with scare quotes).

It really does make you think that his characters weren't too much of a stretch from the REAL Adam Baldwin.
