All depends on your point of view

8. Micheal Ratner is the Left person.

[rodeodance]

11. thanks, I will read it.

[Voltaire]

3. Voltaire saying that Hannity is a dildo with ears

nt

[rodeodance]

9. 3 times Hannity said you ought to be ashamed of yourself--giving aid

and comfort to the enemy--he says by saying such things.

[jayctravis]

14. isn't "giving comfort and aid" to someone who does not pose a threat

the Christian thing to do?

[sarcasmo]

4. Wonder if he says the same thing of Hugo Chavez and the DU.

[rodeodance]

5. He is saying that the camparion to a gulag is irresponsible bla bla

His whole focus in on the gulag--term--he is diverting the attention away from the actual report.

[rodeodance]

6. Micheal (last name) is doing good against Hannity.

[Darranar]

7. Human rights seem to be radically left too these days. n/t

[rodeodance]

10. Hannity really got hot under the collor tonight--think he know he was

up against someone who was articulate and put him in his place (well, maybe he had an inkly?)

[Mr_King]

12. Faux News Channel

I have Faux News Channel deleted off my TV's but I turned to it at 9pm to see what that a$$hole Hannity had to say about "Deepthroat" and they just breezed over that.

I doubt they've been talking about it much today. I wonder why...good ol' Tricky Dick Nixon.

[proud patriot]

13. Disdain for the recognition of Human Rights

point 2 of the 14 points of Fascism

[CBHagman]

15. Scarborough also trashed Amnesty.

I saw a Scarborough piece on Arianna Huffington's blog site in which JS claimed Amnesty "did nothing" regarding Darfur. It turns out Scarborough based this on the fact that Amnesty didn't back a piece of legislation that Scarborough backed. All Amnesty does day after day and year after year counnts for nothing if they don't toe the Scarborough line.

Frankly, I'm sick of preachy, self-absorbed boys who sit on their butts and have their calls screened.

But we have a larger problem. This seems to be a concerted effort to discredit human rights organizations. Considering the company the right wing keeps. What are we going to do to call Fox News (and their advertisers) on the carpet?

Does anyone know Hannity's advertisers, for example?

[rodeodance]

18. as did Bush and Cheney today (gee there is a pattern here!!). Fox

echoing the WH!!

[Webster Green]

16. Shoot the messenger...

Don't address the problem. Typical right-wing idiot response.

Good thing hardly anyone watches that shit.

[Bluebear]

17. I've already seen the mature righties calling it "Amnasty"

ANYTHING that makes their Fuhrer look bad is to be scorned.

[tsuki]

19. Tsuki saying Hannity is a "radical right wing POS."

[Generator]

20. Gulag is really a nice comparison

What would THEY call a forever (or maybe not) sentence in a prison that has no contact with the outside world for crimes never actually prosecuted?

Oh,yeah right, justice. Cause it's all a culture of two things: Judgement and FEAR. That's right folks, it comes down to prissy boy Hannity is scared to DEATH terrorists will kill him. SO it's a-okay with him if anyone not guilty is tortured and imprisioned for life to prevent that from happening. Oh but (rationalization number uno) they are all guilty anyway so it doesn't matter how they are treated.

Stalin would be proud to have him serve him in the "corps of truth."

[SalmonChantedEvening]

21. Ron Silver must be having kittens

He was a spokesman for them back in the mid 90's... along with a slew of celebs.

Think he'll toe the party line or defend Amnesty International?

I'm kinda fearful he'll denounce them.

[radar]

22. But legit enough to use when starting a war....

...I'd posted a link in the Limbaugh thread about the flip-flop
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3759926

The Bush Administration Was For Amnesty International Before It Was Against It
http://thinkprogress.org/index.php?p=979

Secretary Rumsfeld repeatedly turned to Amnesty to highlight the repressive nature of Saddam’s regime.
...Anyone who has read Amnesty International or any of the human rights organizations about how the regime of Saddam Hussein treats his people...
...seems to me a careful reading of Amnesty International or the record of Saddam Hussein, having used chemical weapons on his own people as well as his neighbors, and the viciousness of that regime, which is well known and documented by human rights organizations, ought not to be surprised...
...you read the various human rights groups and Amnesty International’s description of what they know has gone on, it’s not a happy picture.

[Junkdrawer]

23. Hannity thinks anything but the Reich Chancellery...

is a 'radical left-wing group'.

[Jack Rabbit]

24. No, Amnesty International is an organization dedicated to human rights

Sean Hannity is a radical right-wing propagandist.

[lumpy]

25. I am glad to see that Hannity says that

Amnesty International is a radical left-wing group. In this case radical is good since it IS radical for a group to be fighting for human rights. Not too many groups like that around.

[Liberal_Dog]

26. Funny..

All the Repukes loved Amnesty International when they were documenting Saddam's atrocities.
