Dispatches From Fox Nation: Sean Hannity’s Theater Troupe


VIDEO

foxnation_8-14Dispatches From Fox Nation:

There are a lot of ways to talk about the uproar going on at the town halls, and Fox News has certainly led the charge in finding more and more unique ways to show these angry viral superstars. Last night on Sean Hannity’s 9pmET program, he found a new way: theater! The Fox Nation, naturally, gave it a standing ovation.

With the headline “‘We the People…Silent No More!’” the Fox Nation post is an embedded video from the opening to Hannity. The rousing segment – a guy playing Thomas Paine reciting a monologue about patriotism with an American flag and a copy of the Constitution in the background, while town hall protesters shouted throughout.

Here’s a part:

The long sleep is over. In town hall meetings all over the country…a giant is awakening. A giant who has never been defeated. That giant’s name is ‘We the people, silent no more.’

Who knew Sean Hannity was a theater geek? The Fox Nation responded as only the Fox Nation can. Here’s a comment form Dave34: “‘Comrade Obummer’ has done and will have done SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much damage to this great and beloved country of ours that hopefully by the time WE THE PEOPLE boot his sorry butt out of office (by impeachment or the ballot box) that a Democratic candidate for POTUS could not get elect for the next millenium…!!!!!!!!”

And here’s the clip from last night:

AFP’s Tim Phillips Defends Protest Where Sick Man Was Heckled

video

After disturbing video emerged earlier this week from an anti-health reform rally where angry protesters screamed in the face of a sitting man who wore a sign identifying that he had Parkinson's disease (and supported the reform bill) MSNBC's Hardball brought on Tim Phillips, head of the grassroots organization Americans For Prosperity, which held the event. While Phillips condemned the actions of those individuals who berated the apparently disabled man, but said that it did not reflect most of his party's "civil" attitude during the Columbus protest.

Scott Brown On House Health Care Bill: “The Biggest Problem…Is Its Lack Of Transparency”

video

Last night when Chris Matthews discussed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's idea of a "Deem and Pass" to get the health reform bill pushed through Congress, his main concern was that it would open up Democrats to criticism of using evasive tactics. And he wasn't wrong: Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown was on The Situation Room tonight, already chomping at the bit to discuss the "backroom deals....political chicanery and parliamentary maneuvers" that the House majority was using to "ram this bill through."
