RE: Hannity is a Cobra spy

Comment comment by mwhite on 25 May 2005

Hannity and Colmes is an opinionated program that digests the news and doesn't necessarily report it.

Whether they are 'digesting' the news or not, they should provide some kind of baseline to the issure before calling their guests names. If I wanted to see people get attacked without completing a full thought first, I'd turn on Jerry Springer. Actually, even Jerry let's his guests, no matter how whacko, speak their mind before being attacked from behind by an obese, bikini-glad ex-girlfriend. This segment speaks poorly of Hannity and Colmes and their guest, but more so of H&C.

The most frustrating part for me was that I had to visit this guy's website to figure out what it was they were so mad at him about. I resent being suckered into that site because they wouldn't let the guy explain in his own words how dumb he is. If he had been able to speak a little bit, I could have saved myself the trip through his ignorant and moronic web-thoughts.

RE: Hannity is a Cobra spy by markmcb :: NR7

I see what you're saying, but it's not entirely true. In Hannity's intro, he says something along the lines of, "Regardless of your political stance, you probably agree that troops deserve some sort of support. There is a man with a web site who thinks soldiers are overpaid, thinks wounded soldiers are leeches, and celebrates when soldiers are wounded and killed." He then reads a series of quotes from the site and asks Crook if those are his words.

If you couldn't figure out what Crook was "about" at that point, then I'm not sure what else would have helped. It'd be like Hannity saying, "so you believe that chickens are our overlords, correct?" Do you really need to hear the guy say anything other than "yes" to know he's not the most rational fellow?

I agree that Hannity went overboard on the offensive, but he did give the who, what, when, where, and how. The "why" was the only thing cut short, but even that was apparent by the end: money and poor decisions. I'm curious as to what you gained from the website that wasn't obvious in the interview.
