I’m doing some work up here at WTMA where I’ve had to listen to (endure, rather) Sean Hannity talk non-stop about how Barack-Obama-is-a-dirty-Muslim-who-supports-Louis-Farrakhan-and-the-Weather-Underground.
Barack Obama is a big government proponent who promises a federal solution to every possible problem and societal ill. Hannity, an alleged conservative, is not talking about this (perhaps because McCain isn’t much different). He is talking about the fact that he believes Barack-Obama-is-a-dirty-Muslim-who-supports-Louis-Farrakhan-and-the-Weather-Underground.
Apparently, to his fans, this makes Hannity a “great American.” I say it makes him a broken record, void of ideas who accuses men like Obama of having no substance – when the same is obviously true of Sean Hannity.
Tomorrow morning’s commentary will address the Obama smear attacks.

Mr. Hunter, I respect you greatly and greatly enjoy your commentary on political issues, but I have to disagree with your assessment of Sean Hannity in this case. Though I despise the man, much as you do, I do listen to his program to keep up with information. However, I’ve never once heard him refer to Barack Obama as a Muslim, now or ever. Maybe I missed the program the day he did, but I don’t think even Sean Hannity would make that monumental of a mistake. If you were being facetious, that’s fine, but there’s really no need to make things up in order to criticize someone like Sean Hannity.
Justin,
If you were listening to hannity’s “man on the street” segment yesterday you would have heard him talking to a lady name “Relda.” During this segment Hannity accuses Obama of all of the things that SA reported in his article… he also went on to say “He (Obama) is a racist!”
When someone starts an article with “I’m doing some work up here at WTMA where I’ve had to listen to (endure, rather) Sean Hannity talk non-stop…” do not correct them unless you yourself have been listening “non-stop.”
Lonesome Rhode of the Fox Radio spin machine is just an actor try’n to make a buck.
Take everything he says in the context of the National Enquirer reporting and you’ll be fine.
First if was Downy Jr., then Jerry Springer, now ‘ole Lonesome Rhode.
Cory, I was not “correct[ing]” Mr. Hunter, I was merely disagreeing with him. There is no need to be rude to me over this non-issue when I was merely attempting to be helpful to Mr. Hunter. If either you or Mr. Hunter could provide an audio clip, or a link to where I could listen to it, I’d be glad to do that and accept that Hannity made such a stupid error–he makes many such errors. However, there’s no need to be a jerk about it.
Justin,
I was not trying to be a “jerk.” You had implied that he was “making things up in order to criticize Sean Hannity”
I was simply confirmed what he wrote and warned YOU about assumptions.
If a guy promises everything to everyone, he is a liar. Can’t do it, except by raising ALL taxes phenomenally.
Remember, supporting somebody just because they are black contains the same racist energy as voting for somebody because they are white, only in reverse.
If Sen Obama were white, he would have been out of the race a long time ago, and would be labeled a left wing kook.
