Hannity Disgusted With Bundy: Race Comments 'Beyond Repugnant'

Dylan Scott – April 24, 2014, 3:29 PM EDT

Conservative media titan Sean Hannity, formerly one of Nevada rancher Clive Bundy's strongest advocates, expressed his vehement disgust Thursday with the latter's remarks on slavery

Bundy's comments "are beyond repugnant to me. They are beyond despicable to me. They are beyond ignorant to me," Hannity said during his radio show.

He then turned his anger toward Democrats who would use Bundy's comments to attack conservatives.

"They want to say that conservatives are racist. Conservatives hate women," Hannity said. "Conservatives want old people to die, granny over the cliff. They want the young people to fend for themselves. They want to poison the air and poison the water."

More at TPM

Bundy has now opened up the way for the BLM to go back and finish the job. No way will Hannity or any other Fox News personality air anything about it.

1. Bundy won't mind.

As long as it was under the front of the bus. You know, for white people...

9. Ooooh DUzy!!!

2. too late Sean

You're married to the guy.

3. Looks like satire to me- Onion or Daily Curant.. but the link says TPM.

4. Well, I think Hannity just lost his Free Republic membership privileges

Wading into any Bundy post on that site is to see "group-think" at it's most extreme. They won't be too happy with someone who supposedly is a poster on their board dissing their new hero.

5. Conservative media titan?

[el_bryanto]

6. well good for Hannity i guess - in this one case he realized that Bundy went too far

But of course rather than dealing with this racist, he quickly pivots back to how picked on he is.

7. Step#2 play victim.... As usual

Wow Sean people were actually mentioning your name again, mostly because Jon Stewart exposed you as a fool and a hypocrite, but you now can go back to your D league 10:00 time slot.

[Thinkingabout]

8. What's wrong, Hannity, Bundy is the same piece of $hit as he was last week, what does

Hannity expect. Bundy is as wrong today as the first day he put cattle on public lands to graze.

[Rex]

10. Funny how...

[gratuitous]

11. "Repugnant" "Despicable" but somehow not "surprising"

And I don't see where Hannity is quoted as disagreeing with his new BFF Cliven. Oh, but Sean zeroes in on the real villains: It's those darned Democrats, who take what conservatives say and do and somehow twist those words and actions into evidence that conservatives are a bunch of selfish, misogynist, wagers of class warfare.

You know something, Sean? Just go about your business, pick up your hefty paycheck, and quit whining that nobody loves you. It's only because we understand you all too well that we dislike your antics. But you've got all the money you need as a reward. You want love, too? Fuck off.

12. interesting -- freepers are supporting Bundy though. nt

[MohRokTah]

13. Freepers are openly and blatantly racist to begin with.

Of course they are still supporting Bundy.

[pokerfan]

14. Oh noes, Klannity is going to lose his base if he keeps talking like that.

Conservatives being accused of racism? Why, I never....

[randome]

15. Hannity's feeling the pressure from Jon Stewart.

Lovely.

16. He obviously

wants to have it both ways...

[Hissyspit]

17. "Conservatives are racist. Conservatives hate women," Hannity said. "Conservatives want old people

to die, granny over the cliff. They want the young people to fend for themselves. They want to poison the air and poison the water."

Well... YES.

[High_Voltage]

18. He jumped off that ship and quick...

[Matariki]

19. Hannity said...

Hannity said "Conservatives want old people to die, granny over the cliff. They want the young people to fend for themselves. They want to poison the air and poison the water."

So true. It is what they seem to want.

20. "They want to say that conservatives are racist."

THEY don't need to say anything as long as conservatives keep stepping up to the plate to do it themselves.

[Blue Idaho]

21. That shit stain Sean Hannity is an mouthpiece - no more no less.

He was all in favor of Bundy and the threat of armed violence right up to the very second when Cliven spilled the beans and spoke the unspeakable truth of conservatives. Blacks should be owned by whites because its the natural order of things. Period.

Anyone who thinks all this Obama hatred is somehow disconnected from the color of his skin is delusional. Anyone who thinks Hannity doesn't get his marching orders from the racist majority of the modern Teapublican Party needs to have their head examined.

[Skittles]

22. OWN IT SEAN, you piece of SHIT repuke

you're proud of every other ignorant, backwards conservative stance - misogyny, homophobia, anti-worker, denying climate change, supporting torture, worshiping guns and senseless war - why not be proud of your racism too???

[C_U_L8R]

23. Hey Hannity. Prove us wrong.

It's pretty straightforward if you want to actually support and care for minorities, women, old people,
the impoverished, and the planet itself - but you and your Republican pals are just completely full of shit.

[MohRokTah]

24. HE won't

He's as racist as Bundy, he just knows he can't admit it.

[Egnever]

25. I like that he at least knows what we find repugnant about him

At least that is getting through

[Tarheel_Dem]

26. Your comment seems to be the consensus I heard on NPR this a.m. Bundy just screwed himself & his...

"cause". He'll be tossed aside, and talked about in faint whispers from now on. He just handed the BLM an inevitable victory, and Harry Reid the chance to finally bury his ass (figuratively speaking). He got caught up in the attention and support he was drawing from the bigwhigs of the GOP, and without a professional PR person to direct him, his off-the-cuff remarks present the perfect chance to end this saga.

27. Democrats Are Not Hannity's Problem

My first problem with the piece you linked to is that it calls Sean Hannity a "media titan". I do not think he is a media titan. I think he has less than 2 million viewers for his FOX News show.

My second problem is with what Hannity said. His problem is not with the Democratic Party; his problem is with his own party. Elected Republicans and people the Republicans claim to admire say things like that all the time. I do believe Hannity and other Republicans defended Papa Duck Dynasty when he made similar comments about black people. Did Hannity take Paul Ryan to task for saying that the real reason for the poverty of African-Americans was the fact that a whole generation of black men grew up without knowing the value of work. Both Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich either made statements or came close to making statements along the lines of black people do not work, but just sit around and collect welfare checks, that black people should be encouraged to get jobs instead of just collecting welfare checks, and that they wanted to give black people jobs instead of welfare checks. Gingrich also called President Obama the welfare President.

So, if Sean Hannity does not want people to think the Republican Party is full of racists he should either ask party leaders to push all of the racist out of the Republican Party, tell members of his party to stop saying racist things, and tell members of his party to stop disrespecting President Obama, the first African-American President. He also might want to stop applauding people who insult President Obama.

28. 'He then turned his anger toward Democrats who would use Bundy's comments to attack conservatives'

[Enthusiast]

29. I want to take the opportunity to say this about conservatives.

Conservatives are racist. Conservatives hate women. Conservatives want old people to die, throw granny over the cliff. They want the young people to fend for themselves. They want to poison the air and poison the water.

Accuracy in reporting.
