I have to imagine that as time goes by, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity will become the last refuge for those Republicans who simply cannot accept Obama is President...
I've listened to both on and off during my drive home - and it is almost predictable that every single day, they are slamming Obama for one thing or another - and most of the things are trivial and childish to be wasting time on - like whether Obama had a flag-pin on his lapel....
What do you folks think of these 2 talk radio hosts? What do you think of Hannity's show on FOX?
Do you think they do nothing but incite hatred against Democrats (especially Obama)?
Do you agree with them most of the time?
Are you ditto- heads???
I fully believe that Obama is President, I also believe he is going to make Jimmy Carter to look like he wasn't as bad as Obama will be viewed in a few years as the worst president ever to hold the post.
I listen to Rush and Shawn when driving and don't agree with everything they say, but the truth speaks for itself and is easy to see verses the left's conspiracies, they tell the truth, sometimes they just dwell on facts a bit too long. That is why they are so popular and have the largest audiences.
I listen to Rush and Sean and enjoy their shows very much. They are well spoken, intelligent, and make sense to me. All Republicans know that liberals believe in free speech as long as you AGREE with what they are saying. Once you disagree you get berated and attacked.
I find Hannity to be a total hypocrite - he comes across as nothing but a shill for the Republican party - but pretends that he is 'fair and balanced'.. He is anything but in my opinion - as a matter of fact, I can predict what he will be talking about and what he will be slamming Obama about simply by following what is in the news that day..
The only thing I like about his tv show is Alan Colmes. At least the man can think independently... and he sometimes sides with Republicans - but leans left most of the time...
I don't think he pretends to be fair and balanced.....that's FOX's claim and what made the show fair and balanced was having Colmes represent the other side. They need to find someone to replace what Colmes now that he left. I personally can stand listening to Hannity's voice. Your remark about him following the news reminds me of what I used to say about Kerry when he was campaigning for president....it was like he read the morning paper and attacked Bush on what ever was on the front page that day.
Hannity Limbaugh and the rest are ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL for the continued open debate on controversial issues in the political arena that affect our country.
The so called self-styled "main stream" media is so impossibly slanted to the far FAR left that we NEED to have strong, educated, vigorous views....and yes....even (oh muh gosh!) attacks from the right....
Having a completely one-sided media....and educational system not only fails to serve our nation...fails to further the growth of democracy but goes far to REVERSE all the hard fought battles that we had to go through to gain all those freedoms to begin with.....
Democracy and freedom of speech means hearing things that you may not like....but that stir debate.......and.....(try this lefty boob.....)......REFLECTION.......

I agree we need viewpoints from both the left, right and center to have a meaningful debate and to reach good compromises...
However, when one rants incessantly against a particular person or party - it is not debate - it is indoctrination.... Hannity and Limbaugh have gone far beyond the point of meaningful debate...
I was just listening to a cable tv talk show where they referred to the Limbaughs and Hannity's as 'fanatical radio talk shows' , and that they are a large reason why the public is turning more and more Independent... Americans don't relate to the ideologically pure fanatical arguments on these shows - it doesn't relate to their everyday lives... I would throw Keith Olberman into this group also.

I usually don't listen to Limbaugh but, I was for a little yesterday while driving. Do you know why they're referring to them as "frantic radio talk shows"? They can't stop talking about Limbaugh in the liberal media....he said they mentioned him 12 times the day before alone on MSNBC. They keep trying to label him as the head of the GOP (along with the administration too) so, he announced if that was the case, he has resigned and has handed the title over to Powell and then he put MSNBC up to a challenge....that they couldn't go 30 days without mentioning his name. The other day was apparently the first day so, that's seems to be the way they plan on getting around actually saying his name and still talking about him.
The leftnow has all forms of the government levels and are running it like small children in a candy store to eat whatever they want without their parents restraints. In this case they are doing damage to America, and Shawn and Rush just keep us updated on the damage done so when the adults (true concervitives) come back in the room to once again clean up the mess.
