Hannity lied on his radio show about what suspended teacher said

[adigal]

I was listening to Hannity's radio show today (I know, I know) to see what he would say about the Geography teacher suspended from Colorado, and he said that the teacher said, "The American flag is the same as the Nazi flag." He babbled on for a while, and then, when the Republican Youth boy was on the line with his Neocon father and Hannity, Hannity played the clip of the teacher. It was clear that the teacher said, "The American flag is the same as the Nazi flag IN SOME PEOPLE'S EYES." On his show, Hannity and colmes, tonight, when he was talking about the teacher, he added the "in some people's eyes" that he did not say on his radio show. Probably got warned about taking the teacher's statements out of context or got scared because the teacher hired a lawyer and is SUING because his First Amendment rights have been violated.

Shouldn't this teacher's lawyer know about how Hannity misrepresented and slandered his client to MILLIONS of listeners, as Hannity tells us often?? And isn't it true that this teacher would NOT be a public figure, so he can sue Hannity for slandering him? And does anyone live in that area, and know who the lawyer is for the Geography teacher? And have the lawyer's phone number or email or fax, so he can be told how Sean Hannity lied and misrepresented his clients' words, so the tape from today could be subpoenaed? Anyone??

1. Hannity, lie?

Next you're going to tell me there's no tooth fairy.

3. My point is that he misrepresented what the teacher said

and that is slander. The teacher is NOT a public figure. Hannity is, and he used his microphone to lie about what the teacher said. The teacher may have cause against Hannity.

4. True, he's not a public figure...

Libel law wouldn't protect Hannity.

16. i can't see them, it says you need a login.

[emulatorloo]

22. weird! basically they:

refer to the incident, and promise to be there for him if people give him grief about it. Poster is on his friends list, and per profile lives in the same town. So that makes me think it is the right young man.

18. I guess we now know why he went public with his

"accusations." To get exposure so he could be a famous comedian! I wonder if Jon Stewart will have him on? Or maybe Leno??

26. and doesn't Murdoch and Newscorp. own Myspace?

[Maiden England]

7. No, no, I just can't bring myself to even feign shock

Q: How can you tell if Sean Hannity if lying

A: His lips are moving

[liberaltrucker]

23. Hannity is such an ass. I heard him today. Can you believe that

he got bent out of shape when the teacher pointed out how the US wages war on South American cocaine producers while its own US cigarette companies market tobacco overseas?! He was practically gasping for air when he was talking about it.

About a week ago he was addressing the port deal. Even though Bush and company are behind it, he spent 90% of the time bitching and complaining about how Democrats will take advantage of the situation.

He is all about spreading propaganda- doesn't have an objective, rational brain cell anywhere in that thick head.

It would sure feel great to punch that loud-mouthed jerk in the mouth!

There, now I'm sounding like him. Still, I feel better for saying it.

24. I called him a few weeks ago and went off on him

His voice was shaking when I hung up and listened. He is a bully and when you push back, he has to resort to trying to shout you down. When you don't stop talking, he cuts your mic. Then just lets small bits of what you are saying in. Luckily, I got in some stuff about how he loves Bush because he gets his big tax cut on the backs of his listeners. A bully - just like Rush.

Did you see the Rush thread with an old video of him, where the audience wanted to beat him?
