So its come to this, out of all the creppy things Fox News has done, they will now go
out of their way to protect anyone who murders a black kid.
I always thought Hannity was just in it for the money, now I think he is a cruel nasty piece of human waste.

(2,657 posts)press stop and justice begins. What if Zimmerman confessed to Hannity? Hannity could be held in contempt of court if order by a judge to speak.

Hannity has a long history with blatant racism and never met an anti-black bigot he didn't like - this is the guy who used his show to try to rehabilitate Mark Fuhrman, for god's sake.

(1,362 posts)They are people who work together daily to purposely lie their asses off to the public at large via a huge propaganda network. They also frequently call for the murder of Americans such as abortion clinic workers, spread public fear, regularly use hate speech and speakers, bribe anyone they can, illegally invade the privacy of anyone they can and regularly retaliate against innocent people just for the simple fun of it.
Human waste is a very accurate term for the people at Faux.

(26,219 posts)Hannity's conversation with Zimmerman is not privileged, meaning Hannity will likely be contacted by the prosecutor's office if not outright subpoena'd to testify.
Yeah, this is a feather in the cap for him, but he/Fox didn't initiate the call. They just fueled the mentality that LED to the vigilante problem in the first place.
Let Sean add to his resume that he was the go-to for a vigilante that murdered an unarmed teenager. That will serve him well in certain circles, and for that - all the more power to it for connecting him as a hero to those camps. Heil Sean and all that...
