Why does anyone listen to him.

On his radio show yesterday, he kept repeating the following mantras:
1) Democratics and the media are ONLY engaged in the politics of personal destruction.
2) That Democrats have no ideas to run on , and thus the only thing they do is criticize republicans.

His entire program was dedicated to criticizing Democrats. He attacked Hillary, he attacked Bill, he attacked Pelosi, he attacked Reid, he attacked the democratic Congress, he attacked the Democratic Senate, he attacked Hagel.
He never said anything good about the pubs, just bad things about the dems.

He would frequently pull off this hypocracy within 2 sentances.

He calls his show the "Stop Hillary Express". That alone proves he is a major hypocrit.

Bill'O I can put up with because he's amusing, but Hannoity is a loudmouth idiot and him constantly yelling makes it unbearable to tune into his shows.


Remember back during Katrina when Hannity from his studio was trying shut out Shepard Smith who was on the ground in Louisiana... Yeah thats about the time I lost any respect for Hannity and gained some for Shep'

and don't listen. But there are plenty of Hannity equivalents on the left. Particularly the extremist websites. Michael Moore, Al Franken, Rosie O'Donnell, etc.

If you can't stomach Hannity how could anyone listen to that drug addict Maha Rushie.

Peace.

I listen to him all the time, and what he says is quite truthful.

Call him a hypocrite all you want but he is telling it like it is.

Can't find the link to the story on this scam but he only spends 30-40 minutes per hour on the air. He has a 3 minute intro/song 4 times an hour and 15-20 minutes of local and national commercials.

When he is on live he repeats what he said the previous segment for a few minutes.

What a wind bag.

His patronizing tone is very irritating.

I don't know of any true democrats or liberals who get their daily information from Michael Moore, or Rosanna, or Rosie O.
But Hannity has a 4 hour radio program followed by 2 TV shows. I am very happy for him and his success. As an economist, I think he is a genius businessman, and admire his committment to so much time spent on what he believes.

What I can't figure out is why a true conservative would listen to him?
He calls his show the "Stop Hillary Express" then spends 2 hours saying democrats suck because they don't put out new ideas, and just attack republicans. This is intermingled with Dick Morris coming on the air saying bad things about both Clintons.

Air America failed because liberals didn't want to hear conservative bashing all day long without substance, so they tuned out. Yes a few red meat liberals tuned in to hear about how bad Cons suck. But conservatives seem to revel in red meat politics. All bark, no bite, attack attack attack, and then throw in some hyprocracy for good measure.
Can you actually picture George Will or Buckley Jr. tuning into this garbage?
Do you think Reagan spent most of his day bashing Democrats, or did he just think up ideas that he believed in, then defend those ideas?

My memories of Reagan are about him being positive and putting forth ideas (Yes I disagreed with a few). Hannity is the polar opposite. His popularity at some level must be a reflection about the "politics of destruction" mentality that Conservatives possess.

P.S. If all Republicans were like George Will I would switch in a second.

I don't know of any R's or conservatives who listen to Hannity. Yet his show gets ratings. Rosie gets ratings as does Bill Maher. Michael Moore sells millions of movie tickets and DVD's. So you may not know them but it obviously is happening.

Some will listen because he reinforces their opinions, I'm sure the same is true of those like Moore. I don't like either. Hannity gets on my nerves even more than Colmes.

Liberals have their equivalents, they are just in different mediums.
