Hannity calls tea partiers "Tim McVeigh wannabees"..and they cheer. (Congress, arsenal)

A sound bite taken out of context - Did Sean Hannity call his audience Tim McVeigh-wannabes? | Raw Story

[WilliamSmyth]

I don't have sound on the machine were I just watched the video. So I just have the transcript. For a moment giving people of the benefit of the doubt.

Is it as bad as it sounds(reads)? Is there another interpretation? Assuming he just misspoke, what point was he trying to make?

Hannity calls tea party GOPers “Tim McVeigh wannabees” — and they cheer! - Daily Kos TV (beta)

LOLs. Hannity was making fun of Nancy Pelosi. She said anyone at these meetings were tim mcveigh wannabes.

If you can't see that Hannity was poking fun at Pelosi and the democrats then you need to get a sense of humour.

I clicked, and all it says is what you see on the video. In that context, they DID cheer when called Tim McVeigh wanna-bes.



If you have some other transcript that shows it in a different context, please provide it.

So, he said that they were being called Tim McVeigh wannabes... and they cheered. Regardless of Hannity's intent, these people cheered being called McVeigh wannabees.

That would make sense. I didn't know she said that.

of course he didn't mean what our dear OP would like to think he meant. There are a few libs on this board that must spend all their time digging as deep as they can for material that is either false, or taken out of context..

He said that Nancy Pelosi called them Tim Mcveigh wannabees.

Then they all cheered.

Do you see the problem there?
