Seriously, it's not like CoC and MM tried to hide their efforts, quite the contrary. I'd not heard about MoveOn's involvement but so what? There's nothing illegal about mobilizing viewers and consumers to peacefully protest by putting pressure on advertisers.
I think what a lot of you'll are missing is that if Hannity is so bad, he will meet his fate based on ratings. No one is forced to watch his show any more than others are forced to watch Maddow. While I might not agree with anything she believes or says, I certainly do not think she should have groups trying to influence sponsors to have her removed.

Old school liberals were defenders of freedom of speech and thought. They invoked Voltaire and practiced what they preached.
The modern leftist liberals are just the opposite, by only wanting those who share their view to speak. They try to demonize the "enemy" by calling them bigots, ____ists, _____phobes and fascists. Yet they themselves are the fascists using subversive means and violence to try and silence anyone they do not approve of.

Hannity is very good at connecting with Trump's ultra-conservative base. I listened to him during the Clinton impeachment. Hannity is an absolute hypocrite for letting Trump get away with this while he held Clinton to the fire over a sexual affair.

The family asked Hannity to stop his nonsense with this conspiracy theory. He does this for ratings at the expense of hurting others. Their son is dead....let them grieve.

True, there are the two evil Murdoch sons. Glad you mentioned that. I'll add them as number 4.

I agree with you on that, but I know the following about where the Left is going with some of the stuff they're doing:

1.) They may start out with RINO O'Reiley and then Trumpster Hannity but they'll go for Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin and others like them next.

2.) They may start by tearing down Confederate statues and the Confederate flag, claiming them "evil racists" and the Confederate flag as a symbol of racism and oppression but their ultimate goal is to the same thing to the Founding Fathers and the American flag.


Ever hear the lines "First they came for the _____ but I did not care because I was not a _____
then they came for.....

And finally they came for me but there was nobody left to speak up for me."?

Watching yes men get on their knees 24 hours a day on TV gets old . Republicans and tea party folks just got bored with the same old shtick. That's why faux news ratings are tanking. I understand being a conservative news outlet but Fox is not even that. It's a lazy joke. A predictable lazy joke.

I agree with you. The founding fathers were racists. They founded some slaves. Lol. Call it like it is.

Um, newsflash, slavery wasn't invented by the Founders and it wasn't just whites. Every race has both been enslaved and enslaved others.

At least the lines in the Declaration of Independence of "All men are created equal" set the framework for the end of slavery to be brought about.

The Left wants to keep race agitating to keep us divided. What Obama and his goons have done the last 8 years have set race relations back a couple of decades.

Every time the Left gets challenged, they call those who dare challenge them racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, insert-phobia-here-phobic and try and destroy them.

But Hannity is a Catholic, he would not do wrong

What do the conservatives call people who they disagree with ?
