I watch Fox, though, and since there's pretty much nothing on elsewhere during Sean's time slot, I keep it on Fox when he's on, or go outside and water the plants (or something).
I remember this time last year when I would hear him on the radio, and sometimes on TV, after Obama had picked his March Madness brackets or whatever, where he (Hannity) would say "WELL THE PRESIDENT SURE HAS TIME TO WORK ON HIS BRACKETS WHY CANT HE *TASK*" atleast once on every other segment. No exaggeration. It was ****ing ridiculous...

This is a typical opening to a Hannity segment;

"It's been nearly four years since Obama has taken office. Four years to trample on our constitution and thrust his socialist, marxist ideals onto the American people and turn our republic into a socialist-welfare state....Four years to take away our freedoms. Four years to increase the size of government. Four years to raise taxes on the rich. You know, the people who provide us with jobs......but republicans are fighting back. Joining me now is the communications director for the RNC and, in fairness, some random half-stoned guy who showed up to the OWS rally to pick up chicks."

Except for that last part, this is not an exaggeration. If it weren't for Fox "news" extending his contract, he'd be licking envelopes and recording robocalls at Romney campaign headquarters.

He's a Corporate and RNC shill and nothing more. Not an original thought in his head.

I think I've heard Hannity say he's an independent, rather than a Republican.

I wouldn't doubt it. I've heard the word "conservative" come from him a lot more than party names.

He's had some superb radio guests on his show.
The elderly fella from www.fhu.com was on with Sean and they covered hypnotic influences better than I have ever heard ANYone, in my life, well so far, anyway.

I watch the Willis Report on Fox Business, I just don't like Sean, there's something phony about him. I don't like O'Reilly either, way too arrogant and full of himself. They made a big mistake dumping Napolitano.

Question was: What do you think is a fair percentage of income for a 1%er to be able to keep? Occupier would not answer except with vague ideological talking points that skirted the issue. Sean could not get him to answer, even though Sean revealed that he, himself, pays more than 50% of his income to taxes. I finally turned it off. Liberal drivel drives me crazy.
I caught a little of that before I turned it off. The guy finally said 39% would be fair.

Can you prove that? Sean's not a liar, he just thinks too highly of himself for my taste. He loves to make others look stupid.

It is true that Hannity is beating Obama's history to death but then someone has to vet the man and nobody else is trying.
You're right about the media, but the truth will be known.

With the investigation entering a critical seventh month, key volunteers on the Cold Case Posse will have to drop out unless funds can be provided to substitute for the income they need to support their families.

Dr. Jerome Corsi has agreed to devote his corporation, Constitution Consultants LLC — a company he set up to help fund his investigative research -- to be 100 percent devoted to supporting Arpaio's Cold Case Posse volunteers, so the work of investigating Obama can continue without interruption.

I believe they also employ their own support staff, so they are running a business. Glenn talked about the people that worked for him, and his concerns about how Obamacare would affect their benefits.
