This is the verbal equivalent of either assault or rape (Hannity/Coulter)
Edited on Tue Oct-14-03 07:53 PM by khephra
I came upon this by accident while doing a google news search.

I've only caught bits of Hannity before. And all of those bits were horrible. But the way he treats this guest is abusive to an extreme. I may be reaching with a rape analogy, but I haven't felt this violated since I was sexually assaulted many years back.

I think Franken needs to see this one. He could write a whole book just off of it.

Ick....I think I need to go take a shower. I feel dirty, upset, and sorry, oh so sorry that this poor guy ever went on that damn show.

..............

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: While inspectors in Iraq continue searching for weapons of mass destruction (search), some Americans are outraged at the president that so far no weapons of mass destruction have been found. Our next guest thinks that's grounds for impeachment.

We're joined by the publisher of Harper's magazine, John MacArthur, who's with us. And the author of the best selling book, Treason, Ann Coulter is with us.

It's not even really intellectually worth discussing. After reading your article, my first reaction is to bubble and fizz and get mad. My second reaction is this is beyond silly, you know, but you really believe this?

JOHN MACARTHUR, HARPER'S MAGAZINE: Why do you invite me to go on the show if you think it's beyond discussion?

HANNITY: Because Alan wanted you on. That's why.

MACARTHUR: OK. But clearly...

HANNITY: It wasn't my first choice.

more (it keeps on gettting better and better :puke:).......

3. I watched. Believe me, the transcript is misleading.
MacArthur stomped all over Sean.

6. Even so the words and tactics here
hit a new low from what I've seen out of both Hannity and Coulter.

I'm truly sick after reading that.

they are being taken down bit by bit, and fighting back a little more each time... and by this time next year, we will be longing for 'civilized' days like this..

5. I have noticed this is becoming right wing SOP
Belittle your opponent as "silly", "crazy", "whacko" and divert all attention away from the valid points being made. Tucker Carson did the same thing to Al Franken on Russert the other day.

I am hoping it is seen as the pathetically desperate ploy it is. I am glad people like Macarthur and Franken are standing up to these goons and making them squirm.

10. What drives me crazy is their rude manuever of dominating
by endless babbling, never allowing for honest debate by preventing anyone else the opportunity to speak. Typical Rethug tactic.

9. Sean is such a douchebag
He just cannot stand to be wrong. I believe, and am predicting, that there will be a scandal of Limbaugh-like proportions with the Hairhat involved. I'm betting it will be about him with a goat. Any other ideas?

12. Isn't that great?!
Q: My Guest tonight, Mohandas K. Ghandi. So do you not support the crushing of puppies in a garbage disposal, Mr. Ghandi, yes?

A: Um-clearly this is-

Q: HEY!!! We don't want a speech! SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!!! Now, Ms. Coulter, what do you think about puppy crushing?

A. Well, first of all, thank you for letting me be on your show, as it is the only fair and balanced show on television since Bill Clinton outlawed the killing of liberals on live TV, that bastard. Now, I've got a lot to say about these traitorous puppies, these puppies who want another 9/11 to happen because they'll get more Alpo if there's another 9/11. Damned liberal puppies! Sure they're cute, but what about those fangs, huh? Are they there just for show, just to scare fellow puppies, or are these so-called puppies just Bush-haters and Treasonous Traitors who should be all shipped back to Russia and forced to do 680 sit-ups a day? I say yes, and if the damned liberal media would shut up and let more voices of sanity back on the air, then we wouldn't be dealing with this puppy problem. (wheezing emphysema hack) Excuse me. Sean, you're so fucking handsome. What are you doing after the show tonight?

Q: Well, I think Ms. Coulter hit the nail on the head there. Any thoughts, Mr. Ghandi? That's a foreign name, isn't it?

A: Well, I-


Q: SHUT THE HELL UP! WILL YOU LET ANN SPEAK, PLEASE!! Whoops, that's all the time we have. Good night, everybody!

13. They never have time for speeches! No, they don't have time for the truth
More of the same...Liberals want many 9/11's. I wonder how many liberals lost their lives on 9/11? How many liberals mourn the loss of a loved one due to 9/11? What a stupid bitch.

"I would call you (Ann Coulter) a media whore, but that would be an insult to whores" - SNL skit

14. What I don't understand..
is why liberals haven't figured out things to say back to Hannity by this time. He uses the same verbal mousetrap questions over and over. Stuff like "Can you say one good thing about the president?". There should be pat answers that would shut him down temporarily.

I'm sure we could do that here. For instance, if he got strident with me, I'd probably tell him "Being a guest on his program feels more like being raped than having a conversation". Being blunt and personal like that would stun him for enough precious seconds and transfer power to the guest.

I can understand that it's mighty easy to spout off sitting here in the cozy comfort of my home compared to sittng next to that belch-wad. But I used to yell answers at my tv and wonder about all this. Now, I can't watch the show any more and give props to the valiant liberals accepting invitations.

16. guests should simply refuse to go on his show
to go on his show validates him.

He should simply be ignored by one and all.

15. two comments/questions
1. Can you imagine a show where a left-leaning person or centrist treated even the most moranic moran like this?

2. Why do any intelligent people agree to go on this show? Just stay off it. People who watch it (other than DUers) are doing so for lowbrow entertainment, not to learn.
