On-air fireworks erupt between FNC’s
Sean Hannity and Democratic
Rep. Keith Ellison [VIDEO]

Daily Caller, by Jeff Poor

Original Article

Posted By:drive, 2/27/2013 9:07:52 AM

Live on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel show on Tuesday night, Minnesota Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison ripped into Hannity for airing a video of President Barack Obama’s remarks on the sequester to the tune of the “Carmina Burana” overture “O Fortuna” by Carl Orff. HANNITY: Congressman, welcome back, sir. ELLISON: You bet. HANNITY: I guess that’s what we can describe as staying on message, something the Democratic Party I would argue is very good at. ELLISON: You’re pretty good at it, too. HANNITY: Thank you.

How can a Muslim or Communist swear an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic when both have agendas to destroy our Constiutuion and laws?

Hannity was way too polite to this radical. He let him rant for about 5 minutes. I would have cut him off after 30 seconds when he wouldn´t shut up.

Poster 4: Sean believes everyone tends to gravitate to others of like philosophy and quickly begin to forget that there is not only opposition to their views, but stupid loyal, Fanatical opposition. He has people like Ellison on to remind us what we are up against.

Ultimately, thought this might be unintentional, he is showing us we will not win this argument with words, alone. Like with many psychotic individuals, physical intervention may be necessary.

That´s the sort of thing that really bothers me about FNC.

They allow too many of "those" (libs/Dems) people appear on their shows and show too many news clips of "them."

I find myself tuning out more than I´m tuning in.

Hannaty has these types of people on for ratings, he is only an entertainer, and a sounding board for the sheeple to blow off steam, but nothing never comes from his dialogs. He is a firm supporter of john roberts, a good friend of Karl Rove (his words not mine) and supports a whole host of other Rino repubs including Mcshame. I have stopped listening to him, and his show along time ago due to his "arranged" fights between conservatives and liberals in which the debated message is lost in the on air screaming matches.

I think he had him on because Ellison was behind a move to remove the "debt clock" from Congress. It was in the news yesterday. Ellison actually passed up an opportunity to make himself appear reasonable. Instead, he just cemented conservatives´ views that he is a radical Muslim-sympathizer along the lines of Cynthia McKinney.

I suggest having a Sean Hannity Drinking Game...every time he mentions he once washed dishes for a living - one drink, that he worked in construction - 2 drinks, Karl Rove "the Architect" - 3 drinks, etc...wouldn´t take long and you would be drunk.

I dont much care for Hannity, for the same reason I dont like several of the hosts. They push their ideology so hard the guests cant speak. Often they will ask and reask a question till they get the answer they want. If all else fails, Hannity responds to an answer with a quiet, disgusted sounding "yeah".
I could not do what they do, and I admire them for that. Still, they do get old.
Rush and Levin are tops in my book. I´ve given up on Medved, Hannity, O´Reilly and Reagan. I couldn´t get G. Gordon after I moved a few years back, but was tiring of him, too.

The pre-interview video that Hannity put together for this segment was very interesting. It was clips of Obama giving his sequester stump speech that he travels with. He uses the exact same phrases with the exact same timing, emphasis and intonation. To prove the point, they even matched up two renditions of phrases that were identical. He´s positively robotic in his performance. We know he can turn his smile on and off like a light switch. He can apparently do the same with a speech. All very mechanical but almost life-like.

Hannity had this clown on his show for the same reason he paired up with Alan Colmes - to look comparatively intelligent and competent. The first day of Sean´s nationally syndicated radio show was Monday 10 September 2001. IIRC there was a big big story in the news the very next day, and when radio stations resumed their regular broadcast programming, Sean just happened to be in the right place at the right time. People would have tuned in to 3 hours of a barking dog if it seemed to be commenting on the World Trade Center´s collapse. Luckiest media guy since Dan Rather was the man who had CBS´ Texas beat on 22 November 1963.

What #8 said. Also, Hannity was the first among the Talk Show clowns to declare his support for amnesty for 11-20 million illegal guests, which amounts to an unequivocal demographic surrender. Remember that next time you´re listening to him call himself a "conservative" with the nerf toy in his hands.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....

WASHINGTON — President Obama next week will take the political risk of formally proposing cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget in an effort to demonstrate his willingness to compromise with Republicans and revive prospects for a long-term deficit-reduction deal, administration officials say. In a significant shift in fiscal strategy, Mr. Obama on Wednesday will send a budget plan to Capitol Hill that departs from the usual presidential wish list that Republicans typically declare dead on arrival.

Washington is edging closer to a budget deal, thanks to a gutsy change in strategy at the White House. Next week, President Obama will propose specific cuts to Social Security and Medicare in his annual budget, according to senior White House officials. That will put the onus on House Speaker John Boehner to show some leadership, too. He needs to push Republicans toward accepting tax increases beyond the $600 billion approved in December. It can be done. As I reported last month, Washington’s biggest myth is that a budget deal is out of reach

WASHINGTON — The North Korean army warned the United States on Wednesday it has been cleared to wage nuclear war using “smaller, lighter and diversified weapons.” In a speech earlier in the day, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel noted that North Korea has both the nuclear weapons and the delivery system “now.” It’s the latest round in an escalation of rhetoric and actions that began with a North Korean nuclear test in February. Still, military officials and experts don’t expect North Korea to launch an attack on the United States.

Two breaking news alerts came through the wire this afternoon: First, the AP sent word that Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has called North Korea´s latest rhetoric a real, clear danger and threat to the U.S. and its allies. Within minutes, CNBC announced that the Pentagon has sent a new missile defense to Guam. The reports that followed those alerts added some meat to the storty -- "Hagel´s comments come as tensions continue to rise between North and South Korea," etc. -- but they are notably lacking in context. How serious is the threat, really? Are the North and South on the verge of war, or is this yet another bluff?

In a bizarre new twist to the saga of Sen. Bob Menendez and his donor-friend Salomon Melgen, members of Melgen’s circle are now hurling accusations at FBI agents investigating the pair’s relationship. During an appearance on the weekly Dominican TV show La Respuesta last week, Melgen’s uncle Vincho Castillo accused the FBI of threatening and kidnapping two of Melgen’s maids. In addition to being the Dominican Republic’s top drug cop and founder of a far right-wing political party, Vincho Castillo is also the father of Vinicito Castillo, a lawyer who allegedly participated in sex parties organized by Melgen.

My nephew’s high school government class is studying propaganda, a word most students associated with Hitler, Goebbels, and the like. “I deal with propagandists every day,” I told the class in the Detroit area last week. “They work in the White House and in Congress--Republicans and Democrats alike.” The kids were a bit surprised. “Are you calling them Nazis?” one asked. Of course not, I replied, but politicians today are using new communications tools to spread their version of the truth, much of it misleading. A smart piece by Nancy Benac of the Associated Press describes how the Obama White House “image machine” works--“serving up a stream of words, images, and videos that invariably cast the president as commanding, compassionate, and on the ball.

Since November, the prospective death of the Republican coalition has hovered over American politics, and the autopsy has gained renewed attention in light of the debates over gay marriage and immigration, both of which split the GOP from rising chunks of the electorate. I’m an advocate of the theory, first put forward a decade ago by Ruy Teixeira and John Judis, that the electorate is forming a natural Democratic majority. The Republican Party appears to be caught in a double bind, in which the electorate is growingly progressively less white, and even younger white voters hold less conservative views than older ones. What’s more, evidence suggests that voters maintain the partisan allegiances they form at a young age. The picture looks grim for the GOP.

The sequester doesn’t appear to have hit the West Wing of the White House particularly hard. Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters — after more than a month of dodging questions on White House effects — that 480 employees of the White House Office of Management and Budget have received furlough notices. Even that tidbit is weeks old. After Congress let the March 1 deadline pass without replacing automatic across-the-board spending cuts, executive branch agencies have been scrambling to cut their budgets and furlough employees.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Is going gluten-free

Gluten-free diets are all the rage, but they can be dangerous if not done right. What is gluten? It´s the spongy complex of proteins, found naturally in wheat, rye, and barley, that gives elasticity to dough and allows it to rise. When flour is moistened and either kneaded or mixed into dough, gluten molecules form an elastic, microscopic latticework that traps the carbon dioxide produced when yeast ferments, causing dough to inflate like a hot air balloon. Baking hardens the gluten, which helps the finished product keep its shape. Wheat — and gluten — is ubiquitous in the American diet.
