Hannity: "Long list of Democrats took money from Abramoff..."
"...and no one in the media is covering it."

Just heard on his radio show a few minutes ago.

Really, Sean. Name one.

It's not even distortion or spin anymore...it's just flat-out lies. At least it's nice seeing them throw their own under the bus.

1. If there was something to cover, the mediawhores would cover it.
They will do anything they can to help the GOP and hurt America. They're not covering this lie because they know they won't be able to make it fly.

2. Hannity is just a lap dog to the thugs running things
HANNITY: Now, Jeff Gannon, who is a terrific Washington bureau chief and White House correspondent for Talon News, actually shot me an e-mail today, and he's about to break a story in an exclusive about these CBS documents.
from media matters

4. Oh you know how it is with the right-wing
If Abramoff was at the same Christmas party one time or was walking on the same side of the street as Ted Kennedy one day then it means they were involved with him and just as guilty. Remember how they went on and on about Kerry being with Jane Fonda at a war demonstration 40 years ago? Showed a picture with the two of them about twenty feet apart along with a few hundred thousand others.

6. Hannity is too stupid to know that he has two shows
He's the media! Well, at least he's the "media".

You're right, they aren't reporting on the list because it's too easy to prove that it's a flat out lie. They'd report it every day if sites like Open Secrets didn't exist.

7. When they lie, they may as well lie big.
Just like the proverbial fisherman.

11. Or, as the late and unlamented Senator McCarthy once said...
"I have here in my hand a list of 57 people that were known to the Secretary of State as being members of the Communist Party, and who, nevertheless, are still working and shaping the policy of the State Department."

Well, I say put up or shut up Sean --- read the names and takes your lumps, ya bullshitter, ya.

14. That's anywhere from a huge stretch to a bald lie.
Certain parties that Abrahmoff had dealings with did donate to Democratic candidates (as well as Republican candidates). However, the vast majority of them either cut off the Democratic donations or shifted much more of the money towards Republicans once Abrahmoff got invovled. That would be like saying that one of us donates to the GOP because our employers do.

15. Maybe they aren't covering it because no Democrat took money from Abramoff
Although maybe Hannity is forgetting about Wolf and Tweety salivating over the "Democratic ties" when Abramoff was receiving the most media coverage in January.
