Speaking of "same old crap", we need a Palin/Tea Party/Beck thread.

I mean, how long has it been?

It really doesn't matter. It's not like he or any of the FOS "news" people are influencing anybody's opinion. The people that listen to them already have their skewed views, otherwise, they wouldn't tune in.

I like watching Hannity, more than I do Beck.

At least he has the opposing view on everyday, to debate the issues. It is not a one sided view being displayed.

If his guests don't put up enough of a good argument, I'm sure he would not turn down a better hand selected Progressive to debate face to face.

I noticed MSNBC are bringing on more and more Conservative guests to have that difference debated there. Good for them. Except Chris Matthews and Rachel Maddow, are always cutting off and talking over the Conservative guest when the point is being made and that is the part they don't want their viewers to hear. Matthews is the worst about doing that. You can tell when he doesn't want that part said, he starts shouting over the guest.

Hannity discusses the issues, it is not always politics. It is not a news program. It is a discussion program.

You would be surprised how many people that voted devotedly for Obama, have been educated by watching both FOX and MSNBC and making there own choice as to what is truth and what is twisted, or edited and cherry picked.

I mean MSNBC has pushed their viewers to go checkout what is being said on FOX.

Sure, in this last month leading to the mid-term elections, Fox is not going to actually change anybodies choice, nor is MSNBC.
You have to look since Obama has been elected, not the last month leading into an election. My mind has been made up on my vote for sometime now and a clue... I voted for Clinton, twice.

It's easy to predict what every con on a message board like this will talk about next - just watch any of those idiots and you'll hear the idiots on these forums parrot them, as if any of them have any clue as to what they're talking about. Like the Smoot Hawley Tariff act - once the conservative imams preached it, you heard every idiot neo-con on these boards parroting them, but adding "I've been saying for YEARS that the Smoot-Hawley Tariff act blah blah blah blah......." Not an original thought amongst them.
It is not that we "parrot" them.
It's that we agree with what they say. Our values are the same and that is why we enjoy watching their show.
The reason the MSNBC crowd has no "worshipers" is because they come across as hateful, where Hannity and O'Reilly DO NOT.

I have to listen to him to get the news, weather and traffic info that is vital to me getting around and home in the afternoon. If I had a choice, I would not.

I never watch him on TV but I hear him on WSB AM everyday and he says the same things day in and day out. If I did not depend on WSB for traffic and weather, I'd listen to something else.
