[Amerigo Vespucci]

Hannity whines about Obama's 'incendiary rhetoric' -- then calls him a 'failed president'

By David Neiwert



Frank Luntz and Sean Hannity were all appalled last night at the vicious and harsh language being used by those eeeeevil liberals this week in describing poor, put-upon conservatives as "hostage-takers" for merely holding up unemployment insurance payouts for poor people in order to force tax cuts for the wealthy down everyone's throat. It was heart-wrenching.

Of course, when your scenario is a heavy-duty fantasy like this one, it means that you're going to be doing a lot of projection. Sure enough:

HANNITY: Let me disagree with you. This is the liberals doing this. This is Obama attacking Republicans as hostage-takers. This is the Democratic Party saying, you know, the president f'd up, f him, screw him, he betrayed us, he's betraying other - give me the example of where are conservatives using this rhetoric?

LUNTZ: But nobody is listening. The problem is that the right isn't listening to the left. The left isn't listening to the right.

HANNITY: I'm talking about the harsh vitriol and rhetoric is coming from the left.

LUNTZ: I don't disagree with the rhetoric, but I'm out with the public and I'm doing this now almost every other night and in all of the focus groups even when it is done for corporate clients or media clients.

People aren't listening to each other and they don't want to hear what each other says. They are taking their news based on what affirms them rather than what informs them. They don't even share the same basic facts and basic understanding. Sean, this country is more divided now than it has been since Vietnam.

HANNITY: I see that, but -- if I were to call President Obama the things that he's calling conservatives, or that liberals are calling him, I probably would be, you know, victim of a boycott or firing.

1. Frank Luntz is just mad that Obama came up with a phrase without paying big $$$$ to Luntz

[Systematic Chaos]

2. Firing squad?

One can dream....

[Guilded Lilly]

3. In a normal world, everything you say, Hannity...

would be cause to fire your ...less than intelligent butt.

[LuvNewcastle]

4. The Republicans of today are not conservatives.

They are radical right-wingers who enjoy fucking the middle class and the poor.

[Iris]

6. and yet so many in the middle class eat up their rhetoric

[LuvNewcastle]

11. Yes they do.

Too many of them believe they're going to get rich one day -- and the Republicans will help them get there.

[pacalo]

23. Their party should be called the "Corporationist Party".

[Iris]

5. so, no conservative ever has called Obama something worse than hostage-taker?

7. No, Sean, you'd be promoted

Remember, you work at Fox.

[Little Star]

8. I don't know what Hannity is complaining about........

Obama's called Dems much worse. Someone get Hannity the waaambulance.

[walldude]

9. Hey Hannity...

FUCK YOU. Take your "I'm such a victim" schtick to the fucking nursery with the rest of the crying babies.

[Pisces]

10. Sounds like Frankie Luntz is trying to get some distance from the Hannity talkers of the world.

People don't share the basic facts or understanding ( hmmm. sounds like he is getting concerned as he listens to the people the lies he has helped FOX news spew). The monster is out of control.

[eShirl]

12. more like bank robbers than terrorists

[Cant trust em]

13. I guarantee that if Hannity said that Obama was taking republicans hostage, he would keep his job.

[hfojvt]

14. I wonder what would happen if Hannity had a guest on

who said that Obama's core philosophy was anti-American. Do you suppose he would be fired? Or boycotted? What if he himself said that Obama was "emboldening our enemies". That would be some harsh rhetoric, wouldn't it?

But this is all hypothetical, since I am sure that could never happen. http://www.mediaite.com/tv/oliver-north-on-hannity-obamas-core-philosophy-is-anti-american/

[Zoeisright]

15. Fuck you, Hannity. You and your ilk have called Democrats traitors, Nazis,

socialists, and every other swear word you can think of. You fucking liar.

[1badjedi]

16. Boo hoo?

[madrchsod]

17. my dog has more empathy than that thing

[louis-t]

18. He's also a "victim" of stupidity.

[AndrewP]

19. Hannity is a prick

I don't need to read any deeper into his statements than that

[rocktivity]

20. You and Fox DO call Obama and the Dems some of the things he calls conservatives

which is why Fox continues to employ you!

22. OMG! Is he describing Fixed News or what?!

His viewers are truly mindless idiots if they agree with his claim of innocence. This, folks, is a perfect example of a psychological defense mechanism called "projection" -- projecting one's own failures & shortcomings onto another person for the intent of deflecting criticism away from oneself.

Just when I thought I'd heard it all from this tacky fake news network.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

24. No, Murdoch would give you your own network. nt
