As the story of the shooting of Trayvon Martin has developed, shooter George Zimmerman‘s side of the story have begun to surface. On tonight’s program, Sean Hannity interviewed Zimmerman friend and former CNN reporter Joe Oliver and Fox reporter Shannon Butler– who spoke to a witness that defended Zimmerman– on the new evidence that may help Zimmerman’s case.

Kimberly Guilfoyle and Leslie Marshall joined Sean Hannity last night for his hour-long special on the “hate speech” of the left, and Guilfoyle, perhaps even more so than Hannity, let President Obama have it for his affiliation with Bill Maher– namely, that the latter donated a million dollars to the former’s campaign. Accusing him for failing to “show respect as a man,” Guilfoyle railed that, as leader of the country, President Obama owed it to women to condemn that language.

For the most part, President Obama’s comments on the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin have been met with positive reactions from those who heard him say the tragedy cuts deep, given that “if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon.” The President failed to touch at least one heart, however: Newt Gingrich‘s, who called the comments “appalling” because they “suggest” the President is “OK” with the murder of non-black teens.

In light of the recent Rush Limbaugh “slut” controversy and its close cousin, the Bill Maher “c-word” controversy, Ann Coulter has emerged as one of the more tolerant of entertainment personalities saying whatever they want. On tonight’s Hannity, Coulter reprimanded liberals for being, among other things, “utter frauds, liars, and hypocrites” and “horrible people,” but warned conservatives not to follow suit and take up the “offended routine.”

As the Sandra Fluke controversy flounders along as one narrative along the greater opposition to needlessly offensive comments in the media against women, Sean Hannity updated his audience today on the reactions of liberal women to attacks by Bill Maher in contrast to the response to Limbaugh. It was surprisingly silent compared to the previous outcry, a reaction Kirsten Powers called “disgusting.”

Cee Lo Green caused a bit of a mild disturbance when news got out that he would be performing his hit single “Fuck You” in front of President Obama for a fundraiser– uncensored. The event occurred last night, and Green did eventually start singing “Forget You” instead, but not before giving the audience the finger while asking, “Can I curse?”

On Wednesday’s Hannity, Human Events editor Jason Mattera described the moment when comedian Chris Rock went after his camera crew in a rage in January. “What happened?” asked host Sean Hannity. “He goes berserk! Becomes unhinged and attacks my camerawoman, tries to wrestle the camera, finally gets it from her hands and launches it across [...]

Since leaving MSNBC, Pat Buchanan has made few appearances, some on Fox News, but many on the dangers of censorship of the airwaves. He made such an appearance tonight with Sean Hannity, warning that using language to “blacklist, stifle, and silence conservatives” was the left’s mission and the “inquisition” was dangerous for dialogue.

On the cusp of finding out which Republican candidates will be going home with the biggest chunk of Alabama and Mississippi’s delegates, a PPP poll showing a plurality of Republicans from the state believing President Obama is a Muslim led the headlines, and on tonight’s Hannity, host and panel delved into what they considered a classist bias from the media against the South, adding to that poll the very unflattering footage of Mississippi Bill Maher aired on Friday night.

Rick Santorum dropped by Hannity tonight live from his headquarters before tomorrow’s Alabama/Mississippi primary to discuss his strategy tomorrow, how he feels about the election and, in passing, how he feels about the comments made about his home-schooled children being locked up in a “Christian Madrassa” by Bill Maher. After making a super-retro “arugula” joke, Santorum challenged not just Maher’s style but his logic, declaring the Democrats “the party of emotion.

As host of the program to debut the full tape of President Obama hugging Harvard Law Professor Derrick Bell, Sean Hannity has been at the forefront of the attack on the President for his association with a professor he considers radical. On his program last night, he had Erik Rush– who broke the Jeremiah Wright story– argue the point that a pattern had emerged, and on his left Sally Kohn, who had been Bell’s student and argued that hugging someone doesn’t mean all their opinions transfer to you.

The video the late Andrew Breitbart promised of President Obama was delivered in snippets this morning– first by Buzzfeed, then by Breitbart’s Big sites– but on tonight’s Hannity, editor-in-chief of Breitbart.com Joel Pollak and contributor Ben Shapiro released the full tape– one held by Professor Charles Ogletree but released in a presentation after the 2008 election, where the professor is clearly heard saying he hid it during the election.

Earlier today, Sean Hannity gave his listeners a heads up on what to expect tonight from the highly anticipated unaired Obama college video hyped by the late Andrew Breitbart, with an interview with Breitbart.com editors Ben Shapiro and Joel Pollak. “On Hannity tonight, you will see the full tape of what we are going to reveal of this particular controversy — remember there’s a whole series of events, tapes and things that Barack Obama participated in that were not vetted, that were not searched for, we know where they are, we are going to be focusing on this particular controversy and we are going to release the full tape that Andrew Breitbart knew about was planning for and it’s not just going to be about Barack Obama and his views, although that’s a big part of it,” Pollak said.

After Ann Coulter appeared on Sean Hannity‘s program to discuss the legacy of Andrew Breitbart and the way the left responded to his death, Hannity invited liberal commentator Julie Roginsky to discuss boycotts and what he considered was a left-wing desire to silence dissenting voices. Roginsky disagreed by defending Coulter in the most backhanded ways possible, threatening to quote Coulter verbatim in a way that would result in federal communications fines.

An hour after Mitt Romney hit Fox News for his post-Arizona/Michigan take on the Republican primary, an optimistic Rick Santorum visited Sean Hannity to discuss his popular vote loss in Michigan and how he broke even in delegates. Santorum also had to explain some of his comments over the weekend, particularly his attack on John F. Kennedy, and took a step away from social issues to blame the media for bringing them up.

The Daily Caller’s Tucker Carlson spoke with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Tuesday about Media Matters and their allegedly shadowy ties to the White House.

With the Republican campaign continuing to roll on, ready to crash into March, Sarah Palin has been one of the more vocal figures sounding the siren for the possibility of a brokered convention, out of which any member of the Republican Party could leave the nominee. She told Sean Hannity that she didn’t expect “the establishment would come to me,” but nonetheless embraced the idea as “continuation of the process.” She also gave some support and advice to Rick Santorum on his faith comments.

On last night’s Grammy’s (which, Adele aside, were not much to write home about), famous person of some sort Nicki Minaj made some noise on stage. The noise was accompanied by some unfortunate use of Catholic imagery, however, which means that conservative commentators all over cable news had to show their requisite outrage at the same thing Madonna has been doing for decades, but without any actual music. Sean Hannity accurately diagnosed the performance as a copycat of Madonna c. 1989, and the panel compared her offensive performance to the offensive policies of President Obama.

Ann Coulter has spent much of the recent turn of the Republican campaign out and about campaigning for Mitt Romney, and today she took her mission to Hannity, where she even had a story about confronting Romney himself and warning him to be “as right wing as I tell everyone you will be.”

In an interview Thursday with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Mitt Romney expressed regret for telling CNN’s Soledad O’Brien that he was “not concerned about the very poor.” “I misspoke,” Romney acknowledged. I wish I wouldn’t have said it that way. I made the same thought part of my speeches over the last year or two, which is that I’m really concerned about middle-income Americans. I want to help middle-income Americans. I want to get people out of poverty, into the middle-income category.”

Sarah Palin was fairly busy over the weekend, writing an extensive post calling out Republican “Stalinesque” “cannibalism,” reappropriating the term “Rage Against the Machine” for Newt Gingrich, and all but endorsing the former House Speaker. On tonight’s Hannity, Palin continued to abstain from an official endorsement, but demanded of Republicans a vigorous nomination process that would guarantee a win for a “big dog” that could take down President Obama.

Charles Krauthammer reviewed the performances of the Republican candidates during Thursday’s CNN debate last night, discussing the issue with Sean Hannity. He did not find that either Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich won the debate, however, instead giving that credit to Rick Santorum, who he noted attacked Romney more efficiently on health care than anyone had before. He did note of Gingrich, however, that he was not fighting personal animus from Republicans, but the fear that he was vulnerable, even if he thought he was General Custer.

Appearing on Fox News’ Hannity, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin endorsed Newt Gingrich — but only in South Carolina’s primary, to keep the Republican nomination race going. “If I had to vote in South Carolina, in order to keep this thing going, I’d vote for Newt and I would want this to continue,” Palin opined.

Appearing on Fox News’s Hannity, Sarah Palin reacted in disgust to a clip from Gayle King‘s interview with First Lady Michelle Obama, where she said Americans were “confused” about how much had been accomplished by the President. “Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord — what are we just a bunch of numbskulls out here in the heartland of America?” Palin exclaimed incredulously.

Rick Perry had an indisputably rough night in New Hampshire. In fact, tonight, his eyes were entirely on South Carolina, and, on Hannity tonight, he didn’t even bother to talk about New Hampshire. But his night got worse as Sean Hannity challenged him on his claims that Mitt Romney was a “vulture capitalist”– going so far as to claim that Perry sounded like a member of Occupy Wall Street.
