"Hannity's America" full of Sex and Violence

[NYCGirl]

It’s high time that the Department of Homeland Security investigated “Hannity’s America.”

This Sunday night talk show, led by Sean Hannity, the conservative radio and television personality, may look like the kind of ultrapatriotic, Blame-the-Clintons-First program that is the lifeblood of Fox News. But it’s more likely a secular progressive front, a sleeper show sending dangerous hidden messages to the enemy.

Underneath the flag-waving swagger, Mr. Hannity’s show is riddled with leftist subliminal suggestion and degrading, un-American images of violence and pornography. Last Sunday Mr. Hannity toured the Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada and stood over two prostitutes lolling on a bed in skimpy lingerie, their hands placed between their legs, and asked them if they believed in God.

“Every week we will bring you a different side of the country you love,” Mr. Hannity promised on the show’s premiere on Jan. 7. Mostly, however, he seems to be exposing the worst excesses of godless capitalism.

1. I'm guessing Hannity's home life is full of sex, violence..

and prescription drugs. So he probably knows what he's talking about.

2. That story is not going to bother Hannity in the least.

He'll love the publicity.

5. I doubt, anyway, that many NY Times readers watch Hannity. NT

3. What a freak.

Last Sunday Mr. Hannity toured the Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada and stood over two prostitutes lolling on a bed in skimpy lingerie, their hands placed between their legs, and asked them if they believed in God.

I'm sorry, but that gives me the creeps. Kind of reminds me of the mother in the movie, Carrie.

8. it was just cover. He actually used those two girls before then did a story on them

4. Where's the violence.

I just see sex. When did sex become a bad thing. One of my new dream's is he tries to interview a Blood or a Crip, and they pop a cap in his ass.

6. Here:

"Despite President Bush’s assertion that the execution of Saddam Hussein was botched and disgraceful, Mr. Hannity repeatedly flashes some of the more gruesome video images of the hanging, pictures so ghoulish and unsettling that they could well be the fare for a snuff film.

Sometimes he showcases violence that has absolutely no redeeming journalistic value. A recent feature about an indoor dodge ball tournament focused on whether players aimed at opponents’ genitals, using a term that is too colloquial and vulgar to repeat here. "

Sex is only a bad thing if you're a regular Fox "News" viewer.

10. This execution didn't happen in America, it happened because OF America!!

And isn't fox the biggest purveyor of pseudo fake violence on TV.

This reminds me of a line from South Park the Movie.

Unspeakable, horrible violence is okay...., as long as you don't say a naughty word.

7. these asshle fuckers preachng to me about morality and christian value get more porn

9. Yes, because clearly "God" has nothing better to worry about than consenting adults

paying each other for sex.

So he plays to the sexual prurience of his audience while simultaneously pretending to be acting from a position of church-lady tut tut moralizing? Hmmmm. That's original. :eyes:
