That was a local Fox station, NOT the Fox News Station.

I like Fox but I can't watch Hannity he drives me bonkers with the stuff he says. I am on the right but even I get annoyed with him. He repeats the same stuff over and over like a broken record. I use to like him when he was with Combs but now he just goes off on tangents.

Video and transcript, and transcript of Obama's statements, included.
What is it with Sean Hannity and deceptive editing? That's a serious ethical problem, not to mention tremendously insulting to his viewers. Dont you Fox fans feel a little uncomfortable about this?
Oh............ you mean like Michael Moore did in his films? Terrible! Just terrible!

Hannity, like Michael Moore, is a partisan idiot. Who cares.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices this. Hannity is not just a liar, but a poor communicator. He's so repetitive and needlessly wordy that you can lose what he's saying. The fact that he got his own show proves that anything can happen in America.

There's somehting about the way he speaks too...it reminds me of a third world propagandist--just saying the same old platitudes and talking points over and over with no originality. It's like his transcripts were handed to him by someone else. He'd be a great mouthpiece for any dictatorship.

Never heard a lawyer say two things at once?

Then he takes a passive-aggressive dump all over everything the general is doing in Afghanistan.
As you read in the OP, the transcripts and the video are there.

You should, since Hannity was manipulating the news. How numb are you?

I think it's great. You see some one say anything about watching Fox News and they believe it, as with anything incredibly partisan thing, you know they have the IQ of pocket lint. They can buy some of Becks gold and bankrupt themselves as well.

Meanwhile back here in the real world, the left BASHED Patreus and had an article up on either the the NYT site or the Washington Post site for YEARS that called Patreus General Betray Us, but they recently took it down because Obama appointed him. If you want to talk about baby games and hypocrits, you guys OWN that title!

so Hannity tried to make obama look bad? Is that your point? Honestly though...does obama REALLY need help with making people think he doesn't like the military?

+1

you know what's worse than listening to Hannity these days...is the soccor moms calling up just drooling over the phone while talking to him...they all sound the same, like there's a generic template to use while calling in...

they always start off with, "Hannity, i saw you in (insert town), you probably don't remember me, i had my two little girls with me...",

then Hannity says, "ahhh, yes! i think i remember you!",

then the caller will go on and on about how "rough" they have it, trying to make ends meet, and how they are so sorry for their poor children that are going to have to live with all this debt...i mean, it's just a slap in the face, but sadly, it's almost entertaining to listen to it...you just need a sense of humor i guess...
