| In a DailyDownload clip this afternoon, The Daily Beast’s Howard Kurtz and Lauren Ashburn gave their take on Tuesday night’s explosive Fox News showdown between Rep. Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Sean Hannity. The two praised Hannity’s handling of the situation and blasted Ellison for acting like he did. “This guy came on his show and then tried to filibuster it by yelling at him, saying ‘You’re a terrible journalist,’ ‘You’re the worst journalist,’ ‘You’re a Republican,’ ‘You’re awful,’” Ashburn said of the debate. Kurtz then offered his assessment: “The congressman picked the fight.

Comments: Wow. How amazing they actually defended Hannity. That was just normal behavior for the obnoxious, disgusting Ellison. Imagine having to be in congress and try to work with someone like him. That´s why nothing gets done and they blame it all on Republicans.

Isn´t the more important question why is the media so important in politics ?
You can´t get politicians to stand up for US in front of a camera, but give them air time for themselves and they continually make a fool of themselves.

I tried to put some quotes in that the "distinguished" Congressman Ellison called his opponent last fall (who had spent 21 years in the Marines, serving two tours of duty in Iraq), but the automatic censors at Lucianne wouldn´t allow it. That´s understandable. Google for yourself and see what type of language this "civil servant" used against someone who dared to challenge him.

The problem with Mr Ellison is that Mr Hannity has ALWAYS stated exactly what he is and is not. He is NOT a journalist and never pretends to be. He is NOT a Republican and never pretends to be. He is a CONSERVATIVE and a talk show host. I hope that Mr Ellison knows more about what he votes on than he does about Mr Hannity. But I expect he does not.

Ellison is EXACTLY what liberals are today, and behaved EXACTLY how liberals behave.
They are spoiled, obnoxious, petulant brats. They only learn one way. If they´re 2 years old--a hearty swat on the backside. If they´re 32 years old-a sock in the jaw.

As Rush has been saying "Why are the liberals so mad"? They´ve won the election, they have the media kissing their butts, they´ve been able to allow the democrat voters vote more than once for them, they´ve spent us into debt by wasting money and padding their pockets at the same time...
Maybe their gig is up? I don´t know.

Ellison showed all the maturity of a teenybopper in an argument with her dad! Quite a stark reflection of the mentality of his Lo Fo constituency of dumbed-down, Media-influenced, spoon-fed, self-absorbed, celebrity-obsessed, Kool-Aid drinking, uninformed, dysfunctional plantation bobble-heads and government-dependant federal teat-sucking parasites.

I watched Ellison do his imitation of a cranky, overtired, probably wet and in need of having his diaper changed toddler in real time on Sean Hannity’s program Tuesday night. On one hand, I enjoyed observing the manner in which a “Progressive” makes his leftist case for all the world to see. On the other hand, Hannity was much much much too polite and gentlemanly and tolerant with his utterly pathetic “guest.” Ellison is typical of what so many liberals possess in the way of logical, reasoned thinking. They possess none whatsoever.

Saw the interview as it unfolded on TV. My first reaction was that Hannity should pull the plug on the Congressman´s microphone, since Mr. Ellison was obviously unable to engage in any sort of intelligent exchange. Then I realized Hannity was right to let the guy scream, yell, insult, (and be just plain wrong) and allow the viewers to see what type of people are representing some districts in Congress.

I´m with #7. Ellison did nothing but help himself with his lofo voters. It doesn´t matter how it plays outside his district. All that counts is that he was giving a wealthy white Republican (as they see it) hell. Far from being a liability, Ellison could use the video in campaign ads.

His was a pathetic display of the kind childish behavior we expect from a three year old when he is told he can´t have a cookie. If progs couldn´t FEEL, they wouldn´t have an opinion at all.

Poster # 36 we understand that all too well. I saw this exchange on Fox yesterday and on my way to work this morning the local talkshow host played it. Ellison is your typical liberal democrat politician. Loud, rude, combative, and not too bright. Hannity handed this nutcase the rope and he hung himself perfectly. Democrackheads like Ellison cannot deal with the truth and when confronted with someone who won´t back down and calls them on their B S they get all flustered. You people from Minnesota should feel so proud that you have the first Muslim(nutcase) representing your state. But then again you guys elected fellow IQ standard bearers like Ventura, Frankin, and Dayton so that doesn´t say much does it.

After many years of observation I have come up with one innutable fact. And that is theat liberals, everyone of them, will always cut in, talk over, yell at the top of their voice etc. any time they get into a discussion with a conservative. Happens every time and doesn´t matter who it is or where it´s at. I think it´s in their DNA. Any when the conservative just stops out of coustsey or just tired of hearing them, the libs will believe that they have won the "debate".

1. Who´s this "Ellison" guy? If he´s the Muslim House member who insisted he be sworn-in on a Koran, and who has used a "Muslim" name, when did he change back? Further, if you know Islam, you know Muslims are required, not simply "encouraged," to lie in advancing Islam.
2. "Ellison" is cheek-by-jowl with CAIR and MAS, the "Muslim American Society." In other parts of the world, the MAS is called the Muslim Brotherhood. MAS is a cover. As is CAIR.
3. I´m quite confident that in his heart, "Ellison" sees himself as "representing" the interests of Islam, not of American citizens. Priorities of colonization, y´know.
3. Hannity did a really poor job being a dhimmi. He´s on somebody´s list now.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

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

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. (Snip) Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5 million of these residences in the U.S., up from

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
