Hannity Hates Common’s Anti-Bush Rhetoric, But Defended Ted Nugent’s Violent Anti-Obama Rhetoric

video
» 214 comments

On Tuesday night’s Hannity, host Sean Hannity joined a chorus of conservative objectors to rapper Common‘s invitation to a White House poetry event. In particular, Hannity objected to a line from a Common poem that said “Burn a bush for peace,” and said that “If this was somebody who used the same type of rhetoric about violence against President Obama I would be against it.”

So what did Hannity have to say when rocker (and regular Fox News guestTed Nugent suggested that then-Senator Barack Obama “suck on” his machine gun? Do you think Nugent, who also called the future POTUS a “piece of shit” at that August 21, 2007 concert, got Hannitized for his remarks? Let’s watch: (From Hannity and Colmes, 8/21/07, via Media Matters)


That’s right, when Bob Beckel asked Hannity if he was “prepared to disavow this lowlife,” Hannity’s response was “No, I like Ted Nugent. He’s a friend of mine.”

Of course, any regular viewer of Fox News knows that Nugent continues to be a fixture on the network, including Hannity’s show.

Common (formerly Common Sense) has also come under fire from conservatives for lines from that same poem which are suggestive of violence against police, such as “Tell the law, my Uzi weighs a ton.” (The Daily Caller helpfully informs readers that “‘Uzi’ is slang for a compact machine gun.” Uzi is actually the weapon’s official name, an unwanted tribute to its designer, Uziel Gal.) The line is a reference to the Public Enemy song “Miuzi Weighs a Ton,” from the group’s debut album “Yo! Bum Rush the Show.”

Common’s reference, it should be noted, appears to be a warning specifically directed against police who would criminally brutalize the character in the poem, as it is followed by the line “On the streets, they try to beat us like a drum.”

As it turns out, Common could apparently dispose of this part of the controversy rather inexpensively. Departed NWA rapper Eazy-E, for whom violent rhetoric about police constituted a pre-breakfast warmup, scored an invite to an event headlined by then-President George H.W. Bush on the strength of some charitable donations. The National Republican Senatorial Committee’s then-Director of Communications, Wendy Burnley, said of E’s appearance, “Democrats, eat your hearts out!”

Of course, being a rock star carries Republican perks that even Eazy-E probably couldn’t buy. Elvis Presley famously visited President Richard Nixon in 1971, scoring an honorary membership in the precursor to the DEA, and gifting the President with a Colt 45 pistol. Can you imagine Common, or Eazy-E, bringing a gun to the White House?

That contrast really goes to the heart of this feigned outrage. When Ted Nugent talks about putting guns in the President’s mouth, he’s a 2nd Amendment hero, and a friend to Sean Hannity. When Common talks about defending himself from police brutality, he’s a menace to society.

    No I can’t. But then Elvis didn’t want to or sing about killing cops. But that seems to have escaped you.

    Common has no thug history he is a poet and writer and actor I think producer—he sings songs of empowerment and life not a word is used to devalue any human but does call out a system that is not working for the betterment of the people,

    I hate it when Hannity ( I really want to say white men but there are a lot of white rappers so that statement white man would not apply to this) use hate for a rapper as code for racism and bigory and that was the action of Hannity

    Ted just gets repeat invites from Hannity. On the other hand, Fox reports that Common’s music is “very postive” one day, then makes him out to be a gangsta another.

    Actually dipshit, the fact that you’re pointing out that some moron at FOX heaped praise on that illiterate thug one day, only to have Hannity bash him the next kind of destroys your whole arguement against FOX being a mouthpiece for Conservatives.

    Tommy states “then Common talks about defending himself from police brutality”

    Very, very insulting statement.

    So, it’s okay to murder a cop as long as you feel it’s in defense from police brutality. Well, I drive down a highway every day named for a murdered cop, who was doing his job and responding to a call. Feigned outrage implies there isn’t a REAL ISSUE with police safety. Cops are killed on the job, and it is a truly horrible tragedy. The White House should listen to his words and act accordingly.

  • tatboy

    “Common’s reference, it should be noted, appears to be a warning specifically directed against police who would criminally brutalize the character in the poem, as it is followed by the line “On the streets, they try to beat us like a drum.””

    You may take it that way Tommy. I do not. I take it as a threat to any police officer that touches a black man or woman in ANY way. I’ve seen what people like “Common” consider “beat on like a drum”. And it usually involes a cop defending himself. So believe and make excuses all you want Tommy. In “Common’s” mind and yours it appears every cop killed had it coming.

    Just a question, tough guy. If you weren’t projecting don’t worry about it.

  • JasonMays

    Why any police officer or even a union would support Obama at this point is beyond any reasonable comprehension.

    Liberals love the Police Union when they think it will support their arguement for unfunded pension and health benefits for Public employees, but don’t mind someone who thinks killing one of the officers for percieved social slights.

    Democrats are ridiculous hypocrites whose behavior standards fluctuate on as little as who sits in the white house. Utterly pathetic losers.

    Because Tommy needs to cover Obama’s ass as much as possible.

    Apparently at some point these liberal journalists decided that whoring what little journalistic integrity they had to begin with, by haplessly defending every idiotic move Obama makes, was worth every penny.

Just watch what happens in 2012 when Obama is back on the ballot. You’ll probably want to start pinching up right now!

    Maybe you shouldn’t follow media matters.

    The New Jersey police union says “The young people who read this stuff, hear this stuff, are getting a very dangerous and deadly message,” David Jones, president of the State Troopers Fraternal Association union, told NBCNewYork.com. His anger stems from the lyrics to “A Song for Assata,” which praises convicted cop-killer and former Black Panther Assata Shakur.

    It’s not the White House’s fault for inviting him. However, it is time to send the right message that supporting cop killers is reprehensible. Media Matters is a joke, and a sad one at that…

    TC,
    if you are providing moral equivalency and balance for Common, explain how Assata was defending herself from police brutality…

    Assata did not fire a gun that day. The officer who testified that she shot Forrester admitted that he lied, no gun residue was found on her hands, no weapon at the scene had her fingerprints, and medical experts at the trial stated that the second gunshot wound she sustained severed a particular nerve that made it impossible for her to fire a trigger as well as that her wounds could have only occurred the way they had if she had her hands up.

    I’m as right wing as they come and my issue with Common isn’t his lyrics, it’s his music in general. I’m a big fan of hip-hop and Common is a joke. His music blows as do his tired, left wing views. If the WH is going to embroil itself in a rap controversy the least they could do is invite a decent rapper. This faux poetry BS makes me want to vomit. Invite Lil’ Wayne, 50 Cent, or Jay-Z. The whole “socially conscious” thing Common plays is freaking gay. Plus, he’s a racist. He’s against interracial relationships. I suspect if a country singer came out against interracial relationships he’d be called a racist and driven from public life. But if you’re a “socially conscious” douche you can say anything.

    And no, I won’t apologize for using the word gay. That would be gay.

    Obama Approval Rallies Six Points to 52% After Bin Laden Death
    Increase typical for rally events
    by Jeffrey M. Jones

    PRINCETON, NJ — Americans’ approval of President Barack Obama is up six points after the death of Osama bin Laden in a U.S. raid on the al Qaeda leader’s Pakistan compound. Obama averaged 46% approval in Gallup Daily tracking in the three days leading up to the military operation and has averaged 52% across the three days since.

    A new Quinnipiac poll out today echoes Gallup’s findings: Obama’s job approval is at 52 percent, 6 points higher than polling conducted last week. But not unlike the NYT/CBS poll, the Quinnipiac survey found voters dissatisfied with Obama on the economy. Fifty-seven percent of those polled think Obama is doing a bad job on that front–unchanged from last week.”

    Ouch!

    Just 6 points?

    Two things to be learned about polls:

    1. A single poll does not mean anything. What matters are polling trends. Many polls have population disparities like this. There are two ways to solve this problem. First, you can make your population larger, but that can be difficult. You can also compare that one poll with all of the others being conducted at the same time.

    2. Anyone who interprets survey data without looking at the demographic data of the sample polled is asking to be called intellectually dishonest.

    Latest AP Poll Sample Skews to Democrats by 17 Points
    May 11, 2011 8:55 A.M.
    By Jim Geraghty

    Wow! The AP poll has Obama’s approval rating hitting 60 percent! And 53 percent say he deserves to be reelected!

    And on the economy, 52 percent approve of the way Obama’s handling it, and only 47 percent disapprove! He’s up 54–46 on approval of how he’s handling health care! On unemployment, 52 percent approval, 47 percent disapproval! 57 percent approval on handling Libya! Even on the deficit, he’s at 47 percent approval, 52 percent disapproval!

    It is a poll of adults, which isn’t surprising; as I mentioned yesterday, you don’t have to be a registered or likely voter to have an opinion on the president.

    But then you get to the party ID: 46 percent identify as Democrat or leaning Democrat, 29 percent identify as Republican or leaning Republican, 4 percent identify as purely independent leaning towards neither party, and 20 percent answered, “I don’t know.”

    I wouldn’t be saying anything because I don’t expect their opinion to be a reflection of everyone in the Whitehouse. To assume that is the case is just stupid. You weren’t invited so if it offends your senses, it will be from a very safe distance. That’s not what’s really bugging you is it?

    Hannity is just that loud thing with no neck who yells a alot. His contribution to anything is non-existent.

    His hypocrisy in this is quite simple:

    Ted Nugent bashing Obama = okay.
    Obama inviting Common to WH = not okay.

    Of course, it’s easy to clear up – Common attended same church as Obama, had Rev. Wright as a pastor. Therein lies the problem. Doesn’t matter about his activism, his music/acting/author career, etc. He’s a black dude from Chicago who attended Rev. Wright’s church.

    But to be clear for your little feeble brain with an offensive jewfro avatar —

    Hannity’s hypocrisy was that is is acceptable that Ted Nugent can say what he said, while unacceptable that Common said what he said. The bitter white *sshole talking about a gun in black man’s mouth is cool, while the black dude rapping about police/gangs is not. Oh, and Common’s comments were a few years prior to Nugent’s.

    Of course, if you get into Nugent’s personal life, then it reads like any rocker — underage girl, many children with different baby mamas. not paying enough child support, etc.

  • TfT

    Just gotta laugh at this story; I snicker when Tommy gets all concerned about a double standard on the right when he endorses, indeed, participates in the double standard on the left.

    And hey – when was Ted put up on a stage and hosted by the President or First Lady as a role model? Hmmmmm, Tommy,,,anyone? Did that happen?

    Oh well, I guess Common can rap away when he is done at the white house about all the bitches and hos he met at the peoples house and celebrate the death of marines and cops who guard the peoples house, or something.

    A nation of cowards indeed; people are actually defending the Obama’s for their outrageous selections, and the do so only so their fellow lefties don’t call them racists.

  • OxyCon

    Tommy, you forgot to include Common’s tribute song to cop killing Black Panther Assata Shakur.

    Assata Olugbala Shakur(born July 16, 1947[1] as JoAnne Deborah Byron, married name Chesimard[2]) is an African-American activist and escaped convict who was a member of the Black Panther Party (BPP) and Black Liberation Army (BLA). Between 1971 and 1973, Shakur was accused of several crimes, of which she would never be charged, and made the subject of a multi-state manhunt.[3][4]
    In May 1973, Shakur was involved in a shootout on the New Jersey Turnpike, during which New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster and BLA member Zayd Malik Shakur were killed and Shakur and Trooper James Harper were wounded.[5] Between 1973 and 1977, Shakur was indicted in relation to six other alleged criminal incidents—charged with murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, bank robbery, and kidnapping—resulting in three acquittals and three dismissals. In 1977, she was convicted of the first-degree murder of Foerster and of seven other felonies related to the shootout.[6]
    Shakur was then incarcerated in several prisons, where her treatment drew criticism from some human rights groups. She escaped from prison in 1979 and has been living in Cuba in political asylum since 1984. Since May 2, 2005, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has classified her as a “domestic terrorist” and offered a $1 million reward for assistance in her capture. Attempts to extradite her have resulted in letters to the Pope and a Congressional resolution. Shakur is the step-aunt of the deceased hip hop icon Tupac Shakur (the sister of his stepfather, Mutulu Shakur). Her life has been portrayed in literature, film, and song.[7]

    Also, Hannity isn’t the President of the United States or his spouse and he isn’t inviting people who pay homage to cop killers to the White House. The Obamas are deservedly being criticized for inviting Common as a special guest to the White House.

But if a white country singer “winced” about the same thing it would be portrayed as the second coming of the Klan.

    It’s wrong in both situations and it’s disgusting that one is accepted and one is not.

    “They are both; black and racist.

    BTW, the WH has clarified things by saying” come on, you can’t base your feelings for these people on what they have said or did. That would be unfair!””

    Sorry but no their not haveing listened to both Artists since their first albums they are thoughtful and positive people. You just now found out about them and taking small lines from big metephors and taking them out of context. I bet you didn’t have a problem when Bush1 invited Eazy-E to the WH.

    Jill Scott:

    My new friend is handsome, African-American, intelligent and seemingly wealthy. He is an athlete, loves his momma, and is happily married to a White woman. I admit when I saw his wedding ring, I privately hoped. But something in me just knew he didn’t marry a sister. Although my guess hit the mark, when my friend told me his wife was indeed Caucasian, I felt my spirit…wince.

    Our minds do understand that people of all races find genuine love in many places. We dig that the world is full of amazing options. But underneath, there is a bite, no matter the ointment, that has yet to stop burning. Some may find these thoughts to be hurtful. That is not my intent. I’m just sayin’.

    Ive said this before and ill say it again. How bout Billy Graham, and his son? He is an evangelical christian born again who hung around the white house for years with bush and reagan. He preaches that all people who don’t take Jesus as their personal savior are going to burn in hell for the rest eternity. Thats about as divisive as you can get, but for some reason people look at him and his son as some sort of respected figure. Common is a rapper nothing more and nothing less but Graham has far more influence and is far more dangerous.

    That is total BS, the Rev. never preached anything like the white supremacist crap you hear at your Klan rallies.

    well, I think the history of the white person POV over interracial marriage actually involved laws prohibiting such. so when a white country singer does it, they are reinforcing the centuries long treatment of Africans by white America. as the Klan? not unless they are a Toby Keith or something.

    plus, country singers and some of their fans are crazy. look what happen to the Dixie Chicks when they make a comment in London about GWB. there were death threats to those women (who had small children).

    I think you would have to clarify your definition of “conservative”. ;)

    Because you and I know that the Reagans, Nixons, GHWBush, etc., would be RINO’d and primaried out of their district these days by the likes of a Christine O’Donnell, Sharon Angle, or a HolyJeebus Louie Gohmert-type creature.

    I certainly wouldn’t give any credit to a David (f*cking) Brooks or modern Bob Woodward, etc. Jonah Goldberg is consistently intellectually dishonest in his writings. Most of the PJMers are horrendous.

    Sane, rational conservatives might as well call themselves a Democrat, athiest or Muslim. Because its not like the current crop of “conservatives” would ever listen to them.

    lemme get this straight… if gayle king looks like whitney houston (i don’t know one way or another), and since obama announced his candidacy on oprah, you conclude that “whitney houston” actually means “white house”?… but what if they don’t resemble each other?… in that case, might “whitney houston” actually mean “whiny ho”?… that would really f-up the whole space-time-continuum-thingy… my pea-sized brain is about to explode… and what about oprah’s man, steadman, who does he look like that would mean something because obama announced on her show?…

    Fox was for him before it was against him. Roughly half-a-yea­r ago, Fox News had a different tone about Common. In an October 2010 report for FoxNews.co­m, reporter Jason Robinson interviewe­d the “rap legend” and told him, “your music is very positive. And you’re known as the conscious rapper. How important is that to you, and how important do you think that is to our kids?” As for Ted Nugent, a draft dodging coward, who on stage ranted about shoving a gun up the nether regions of Democratic politicians.

    While I do agree Hannity is displaying a good amount of hypocrisy here, I do want to point out two things.

    1. Ted Nugent is not being honored with an invite to the white house, is he?

    2. I was under the impression the big uproar over Common was his Song for Assata, the aunt of Tupak Shakur, who was convicted as an accomplice in the murder of two policemen, escaped and fled to Cuba.

    In fact, the NJ police unions are outraged about the invite, as well.

    http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/NJ-State-Police-Outraged-Over-Rapper-Invited-to-White-House-121596869.html

    I am not a fan of poetry, and don’t really care about this event. I just find it hard to believe that with all the poets, in all the land, there isn’t one more deserving of the honor of a WH invite….One that doesn’t write about cop killers and hasn’t apparently written about burning the former occupant of the very White House where he is invited.

    Aren’t there better role models, for kids, these days? “So apparently Sarah Palin and Fox News doesn’t like me.” really?

    Why are oil companies charging so much for their oil? Main reason is, because they can. Why can they? Because all the oil companies formed a CARTEL, a Cartel is a group of companies joined together and cooperates to STOP COMPETETION, a sort of clever method of PRICE FIXING. There is abundance of Crude Oil and they continue to raise the price until a large number of buyers stop buying, they then lower the price again until they start buying again. “They call this what the market will bear”. The people using these barrels of oil are (captive customers) which makes the business men suppliers look like greedy hard core profiteers. This does maximize their profits but they are killing the bees that make the Honey. Do they also think; “there are plenty more bees where they came from”?
    The Gasoline prices are pretty much the same. They raise the price of a gallon of gasoline until a large number of people quit buying, then they lower the price until everyone starts buying again. This is a sensible way of arriving at a price for products not related to the necessities of life. Price gouging on products produced for the necessities of life and economic stability and progress should be classed as a heinous act and unethical in all business. On the necessities of Life, people will buy till they go broke or die. That is no civilized way of setting prices.
    The only thing greedy business men understand is legislation. Legislation is like a contract. Every business man will tell you, when doing business never work without a contract. New Legislation should be implemented and adjusted frequently to keep business fair and running smoother.

  • Truth

    Why does Hannity always surround himself with bobble heads. He is afraid to have someone on his show that would disagree with him because in a battle of wits he is a dwraf.

    Ted Nugent Quote: At a concert on August 21, 2007, Nugent made controversial comments about Democratic Party presidential aspirants Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and California’s senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein. He complained, “Obama’s a piece of shit, and I told him to suck on my machine gun.”[43][44] Referring to Michigan governor Jennifer Granholm (in office 2003-11), during performances he would frequently interject “Jennifer Granholm, kiss my ass” into his songs, and shoot an arrow at her likeness. In a 2007 interview, in discussing running for governor of Michigan, he stated that Granholm “is not doing an ugly job, but as the perfect woman, she is scrotumless”.[45]

    I can’t stand to watch Hannity anymore because it just the same thing every night.
