John Podesta falls for Hannity's bait
Ddid any of you hear John Podesta on Hannity's "show" today? He got drowned out repeatedly like some kind of dumb stooge by Hannity and his live audience of right wing idiots. Hannity systematically shouted Podesta down and allowed his lynch mob of right wing howlers scream over Podesta's every word.

When will Democrats finally see the light and unify behind a boycott of the right wing "media?" There is NO point whatsoever in appearing on FOX, Hannity, Medved, O"Lielly, or any of these crazily biased hate programs. To fall for the bait of these Nazis is to display one's profound ignorance about the hateful and un-American motives of these Satanic GOP scumbags.

I was surprised to see that Podesta was stupid enough to fall for this old line. I had thought that he was smart enough to remain above the sewage of the right wing radio fascists.

The only one I've heard eat these people alive is Howard Dean...he makes Hannity look like his son getting scolded....its great.

10. Wes Clark slapped him around a bit too
So much that Hannity seemed to actually respect him afterward.

2. I think that NOBODY should appear in those programs, except RW crazies.
It does not serve any purpose to let them Hannitize you.
Al Franken had a funny bit about Hannity placing obscene phone calls to his female assistant...heavy breathing...I will hannitize you... heavy breathing... It was funny!

4. I didn't think he was very good last night either
And of course Colmes didn't do anything either. Podesta did the same thing last night, got souted down and talked over, didn't make any good points.

6. Didn't see it but ...predictable.
I has said that Hannity's tactics are always shout, lie, shout, repeat, shout, lie, shout, repeat ... I just can't stomach the man and don't understand how anyone could think he would be in any way credible.

As to the boycotting...already done! :thumbsup:

8. The secret to debating these guys...
is to move the fight out of their "dojo", and challenge them loudly and openly to an hour-long debate in a third party's forum (e.g. on NBC, CNN etc). Look at how stupid O'Reilly has looked whenever he's stepped out of his studio...

9. When Democrats and other liberals appear on Faux
Edited on Wed Jun-16-04 09:55 PM by Gman
they legitimize Faux. If Dems and other liberals just quit appearing on Faux, Faux will ask what they're scared of, scream and kick and call names and say ugly nasty things about the Dems. Well, you know what? Faux does that already. Once Dems and liberals quit legitimizing Faux by appearing on their shows, Faux will be nothing but what they really are, a fringe nutcase network.

No one has to take this crap from Faux when the Dems that appear are nothing at all except fodder for ratings. They're sacrificed in front of the right wing to their jeers for the sake of ratings and advertising dollars. Why make Fox money? There's plenty of other networks that have shows that don't have this crap. And, sometimes, they really do want to get both sides

12. Many times Left talk shows get turned down by these people
And then they show up on Hannity and O'Reilly. Disgusting.
