Hannity is Unmercifully Attacking George Soros

[CO Liberal]

On his radio pukefest. I guess in Hannity's teeny-tiny little atrophied mind, any billionaire worth his salt should be supporting RepubliKKKans.....

[Killarney]

1. They all get on Soros' case

for pouring money into politics, but of course they never mention Scaife or Murdoch for doing the exact same thing.

Hypocrite assholes.

[NewJeffCT]

4. Not just Scaife & Murdoch...

You have Conrad Black, the Coors family, the Olin Foundation, and many many more.

22. of course they ignore people helping them

Democrats are supposed to be better than that, though, we're not supposed to sell our party out to billionaires.

[MallRat]

2. Isn't EVERY RW host attacking Soros today?

It almost sounds like... (gasp)... THEY HAVE THE SAME TALKING POINTS!

He's a disgrace to the human race.

5. I guess he got the memo

:eyes:

GOP HAS SOROS IN ITS SIGHTS

June 3, 2004 -- WASHINGTON — Republicans launched an attack on billionaire financier and anti-Bush fanatic George Soros, mocking him as the "Lord of the Democrats" and outlining a plan to rip his out-of-the-mainstream views.

In a memo e-mailed to GOP congressmen and staffers, the Republican National Committee called Soros the "Daddy Warbucks" of the Democratic party and noted his support for legalizing some drugs.

The Republican lawmakers are encouraged to use "floor speeches" and other opportunities to blast Soros, who has given millions of dollars to various groups to help defeat President Bush.

..about the FNC crew smearing Soros, including this piece. Worthwhile reading.

28. Hi kofijoe!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

7. Apparently it was today's talking point

take a look at this thread:

8. Soros is a billionaire familiar with suffering, Hannity on the other

hand, is only familiar with his own bullsh*t.

[DancingBear]

9. Hey, stop these RW talk show attacks

They do not say the same things!

Today Hannity called him George Soros, but Limbaugh only called him Soros.

Hope this sets the record straight. :)

[JohnLocke]

10. If there is one thing Republicans hate, it's rich Democrats.

It's because they aren't money-worshiping thieves. Same principal with FDR -- they called him "class traitor."

[Commendatori]

11. Soros is an old talking point for Hannity, which means

that he's got nothing new. You'd think he'd be spinning Tenet's departure.

How do you listen to that buttwipe anyway?

[Q]

12. RWingers are very afraid...

...now that the Left is FINALLY recieving the kind of money to fight their opposition that THEY have been getting for decades. Notice that they're not even TRYING to attack the message...just the messenger? Typical RWing fascist tactics.

[el_gato]

13. Republicans hate rich people who are not republicans

I know because I had one get snippy with over it.
She said I was trying to stick it to the man because
I was actually making some money. She thought it
was some liberal plot or something.

[rumguy]

15. The important thing: Hannity is on the defensive

He tries his best to turn his defense into an offense...but nonetheless he is overall in a defensive posture...

[StopThief]

16. It's not like he's Rupert Murdoch. . . .

or anything.

[Tyler Durden]

17. I'd call Hannity a poor excuse for a human, EXCEPT...

...He'd have to be human in the first place to qualify.

Pond Scum should be ashamed to have him as a fellow life form.

[JHB]

19. Being "unmercifully attacked" by the Innanity is like...

...being gummed by a newt.

Not an original phrase, I know, but an appropriate one.

I have been attacked by Rush Limbaugh on the air, an experience somewhat akin to being gummed by a newt. It doesn't actually hurt, but it leaves you with slimy stuff on your ankle.

20. New marching orders:

So of course, Hannity gets in line:

and it's only natural for some "liberal" to follow suit:

21. This is a preemptive move

With books like David Brocks Republican Noise Machine out the right is in danger of having their curtain pulled aside and the machinations of Saife and Coors exposed. They need to poison the well and get it in the mind that their actions are just business as usual and that the Dems have the same infrastructure set up.

The truth is we are no where near as organised as the right. The DLC continues to chase after the center votes and no one champions left ideals with any sort of efficacy. The media is entirely dominated by the right and all at the behest of the Heritage Foundation, Scaife, and their ilk.

23. O'Liely was going off on him the other day on TV...

The "non-partisan independent" was ranting on and on about how Soros wanted to legalize drugs (so?) and "redistribute income" (progressive taxation!), and how his views were "far to the left of what most Americans find acceptable"

It's funny how the "independent" O'Liely is always finding various people to be too left-wing, but NOBODY is ever too right wing - EVER.

It's really hard to say which I hate more or which is stupider, O'Liely or inSannity.

How millions of people could get off on watching these boobs is beyond me.

[Hornito]

24. I wish Soros would squash that right-wing punk, like the cock-

roach he is.....Hannity's day is coming, and so is Rush's, and Weiner's (Savage). They are all traitors, and should be tried and hung (sorry, when it comes to these fascist punks, I reserve the right to rescind my stand on capital punishment).

[galaca1]

25. The Repubs are upset because Soros has money to influence

politics, but don't care about the big money in their own party.

[newyawker99]

29. Hi galaca1!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[greekspeak]

26. What do you expect from cheap shills?

I have far more respect for those carnival barkers who lure folks into the tent of freaks at the fair. At least the crap they are selling is interesting to look at.

I am so tired of the double standard that all I can do is look at it and laugh. How absurd that soulless shills like Sean Hannity excoriate democrats for something and give a pass to republicans for it. "Celebrities have no business talking about politics." Unless you are Ah-nuld or King Ronnie the Lopsided. "George Soros blah blah blah." But blah blah blah is ok for people who donate to Republicans. God does the idiot have any idea how two-faced he looks? Do most Americans care or do they just bow and curtsey like good little subjects of the tyrant in chief?

[aQuArius]

27. Hannity can kiss my @$$!!!

I can barely stand to listen to him speak. I get naucious just hearing his voice! GAK!
