4. You can add Lou Dobbs...
Limbaugh,O'lielly,Glenn Beck and a host of others..Lou Dobbs is trying to pretend as though he is a
Independent/populist when in reality he is a republiCON who went along with Bush and his policies and now is crying about them.

He pretends to be fair but always makes sure to put most of the blame on Dems and acts as if the past two years is the beginning of the downfall of this country..

6. It makes me physically sick to listen to Hannity.
And heartsick as well, as I imagine all those well-meaning but deeply ignorant Americans who are taken in by his spew. When I watch him, I am watching America die.

12. Hannity's hate
I actually watched both Bill O and Hannity and Combs (sp) for a number of years. But the show gradually became offensive to the senses. I mean if people want to live with that kind of stress okay, but I gave up and then Bill O did that dumb thing with the radio and threatening the police on a Keith Olbermann supporter and thats when I started checking out Countdown alot more. Compared with Hannity Keith was more of an uplifting voice and I simply see Hannity for what he is. Seething with absolute Hate that he can't see it for himself. So even with Obama on Bill O I can't watch Bill the pr*ck. Same goes for Hannity and maybe more so. Would be like watching Ann Coulter. (hey she's female too) and I certainly don't listen to her because of her gender. Hannity and Ann can sit in that boiling pot of urine.

40. I may be far too kind, but you are far too angry.
I assume you would agree that Republican voters aren't even really human, am I correct? So we can exterminate them at will?

This kind of remark makes "us" sound just like "them".

7. I could never go on Hanity (not that there is a reason for me to be there, but...)
He would piss me off so I would end up just yelling obscenities at him the whole segment.

9. He was right to call Hannity on the RNC talking points
On his comedy/radio show Hannity says the same fucking things over and over so his retarded fans grasp the points:

Obama voted to kill babies
William Ayers
no experience
Rev. Wright
Bitter mean country
Clinging to religion and guns
wants to "lose" the war

ad nauseum

Even in this exchange he brings up points that have NOTHING whatsoever to do with the economy, which was the subject of the book, and what the guest was prepared to discuss.

Terrible interviewer, stupid show, and he is an asshole.

10. fantasy island. I love Kuttner and he didn't deserve
to be ambushed by that asshat. But this kind of crap is what repukes do every time. And those poor low info voters who want to "believe" in the fairy tale are left confused even if they are suffering economically--they begin to doubt their own reality.

16. Sean Hannity is a smug, hateful, bully.
Amazing how Mr.Hannity's voice is all hateful. Amazing, that his methods, and Mr. Limbaugh's, and Mr. O'Reilly's, and all the other Hateful Propagandists for the Republicans throw their weight around, badger people, and do not engage in a civil discourse.

18. More out of touch repuke talking heads who think the economy is "in great shape"
I say we twist the knife and make them defend AWOL Bush and his economy.
Talk about the unemployment rate and record debt compared to record profits by American Oil and Power companies.

22. Sure, the economy is in great shape for all of the fucking CEO's
that ran their corporations into the ground for the government to bail out. All of this while they slink off to retire on yachts in the fucking Caribbean. Of course Hannity doesn't want the Government" to fix the health care crisis, but he's perfectly ok with our tax dollars bailing out Freddie and Fannie, and whatever bank that's failing this week. I'd love to see someone smash that fucker in the face with a chair and walk off the set, leaving that fucking Nazi unconscious and bleeding.

good thrashing and write on the black board 2000 times "I will not tell one more lie. I have been a bad boy". But sincerely this jerk needs to be taken off the air and forced to clean toilets.... since his brain is in the toilet

I had never listened to Hannity before - what a #$%^ing, bullying, lying creep! I felt so sorry for Kuttner, he was obviously shocked at the viciousness of the attack but he did well!

Blech, blech, blech. That's just sad. :(

38. Admittedly it's pointless to argue facts with Hannity the Innanity...
...but one counterpoint that probably should have been brought up is the "polyanna creep" of economic statistics under Reagan, Bush41, and Clinton, not to mention the wholesale politicization of civil service jobs under the Chim-Chim in Chief. Low unemployment stats can't be relied on to mean low unemployment (and even where it is the case, employed doing what? Mostly jobs that pay less than the ones they replaced).

43. Okay, I admit I'm pretty ignorant about these "talking head" shows
as I never watch them. So the revelation I just had will most likely elicit "Well, DUH!" responses from you hardened vets of news-talk shows--and I'm okay with that! But I just realized that there's no way a liberal guest can win an argument with one of these talking heads, simply because the volume on the host's mic is always higher than the guest's!

Oh yeah--and the host is usually a loudmouthed buffoon. Can't forget that.
