COLMES: Finally tonight, we will give you a sneak peek of what investigative peace "Hannity's America" is working on for the next show on March 4.

Sean, I understand you're going to have some reaction to a piece that "60 Minutes" is planning to run this Sunday night.

HANNITY: Alan, not even a piece worth watching, to be honest with you. This Sunday "60 Minutes" will run a hit piece. About 1,000 or so active duty servicemen and women sign what's being called a redress saying that they think the U.S. troops should leave Iraq.

Now, since we want to give both sides of the story, what we'd like to hear from active duty reserve and National Guard members, those that think that we need to stay in Iraq until victory is achieved.

Now, if you're one of these great Americans serving our country and think that we need to stay until the job is done, well, you can e-mail us at [e-mail].

We're going to have the full explosive report. It's one week from this Sunday in our next edition of "Hannity's America".

By the way, we should note this is the same network, Alan, that you know, forged documents 40 some odd days before an election. And this is a hit piece. It is designed to, as far as I'm concerned, work with the Democrats in congress, embolden the enemy, undermine the troops.

1. Fox should just send Hannity and O'Reilly over to do man on the street interviews in Baghdad

or they don't even have to talk to anyone, just send them out the gate of the Green Zone and see how far they get before they are killed or piss themselves and run back.

2. They're so ****ing lazy or stupid they can't even FIND "the other side" of the news...

So, just keep your cards and letters coming in, kiddies, and we'll report what you write as news!

They're delusional...

ON EDIT: ...and desperate.

4. or maybe even forge the emails, just like CBS forged Bush's NG docs

:sarcasm:

3. How the hell can they tell who is really emailing them?

I have a hunch paid Republican hack jobs and RW Bush-lovers posing as soldiers will pour in the emails, and only a very small percentage of actual soldiers will respond.

Then FAUX will say, "See! We told you so! The liberal media has been lying to you. Look at all the soldiers who believe in this mission. Look at all the good stuff going on in Iraq that the drive by media has not told you about."

5. Fox News should stay in Iraq

until the job is done.

6. even a smite of brain use from Hannity would be a breaking News!

7. It's shocking how much the Right.....

believes it's own nonsense. They bought up the media so that it an inaccurate view of the world is reported, and then they convince themselves that reality will somehow fall in line.

8. wow, the propaganda is rather obvious-- they don't even try to dress it up....

Military public affairs folks will send regular emails to their site, of course.

9. Strangely, the overwhelming majority of e-mails they receive

are from some backwoods area of a deeply-red southern state ... somewhere where you're surprised they actually have electricity ...

and all of those e-mails are strangely very similar in "writing styles" ...

10. The writer's are in the back room right now writing these

soldier's stories.. You can bet your sweet ass on it....
