Uh, Kirsten, I like you a lot, but Liberals can say almost anything, and not get criticized by the media. The only exception of late was Alan Grayson calling his opponent a terrorist and other wonderful names.

Of course, Hannity isn’t telling the truth, either, as Rush Limbaugh (as much as I like Rush) has made awful and distasteful comments about liberals/Obama. I remember listening to Rush compare the Democrats to the Axis Powers and the Kamikaze pilots during the healthcare debate. There’s no excuse for that.

Hannity says the most vile, hateful comments every night..He is the biggest phony on Fox…

Hannity is a whining crybaby.

How do any of you Righties identify with this Puss?

Well, he’s a good balance to most of the other media, sometimes, I’ll add. I’ll also say this: Compared to Limbaugh’s heavy bombast, and people like Levin or Michael Savage, Hannity’s among the tamest on the right.

Beck says hi!

Ms. Powers damaged herself with this exchange. She looked less like a thoughtful analyst, and more like the typical Democrat hack.

Hannity is a smug whining hack. At least Bill O is entertaining and can be objective at times. Republican talking points are shoved up Hannity’s ass and come out his mouth.

Anybody who thinks Democrats get away with more name-calling than Republicans is a terrorist and can go straight to hell.

So the man from God’s greatest gift to mankind, the United States of America, can’t handle freedom of speech in a form of name calling.  Never mentioning the fact that his show is an hour long name calling mudslinging fest.  Hannity is the king of Fox News ad hominem attacks and posing questions that no one is asking except his morning memos. 

He’s also the reigning champion for conservative victims, always playing the victim to liberal media, liberal talking points, and even liberal ads.  If not for Sarah Palin, he wouldnt have much competition in the playing the professional victim.

“”he asked, noting that toll hikes continue throughout the country but arguing they’ve done little to improve the infrastructure.”"  He asked, failing to note that these “toll hikes” going up across the country arent due to government, but due to the private sector.  You know that same private sector that are signing contracts with states and municipalities to transfer control of roads to private businesses to maintain and collect tolls.  That invisible hand of the free market wont keep its fingers out of my pocket. 

Name calling on the left and right is stupid, stop acting like kindergardeners and start acting like grown ups who can get things done.  Telling me the left gets away with more name calling when this president alone has been labeled: muslim, anti-christ, socialist, marxist, fascists, compared to hitler, compared to stalin, unpatriotic, anti-american, anti-religion, anti-free speech, teleprompter dependent, arugula elitist, job killer, economy killer, anti-business, ON VACATION WHEN THE WORST EARTHQUAKE EVER WAS TO HIT, and so on is absolutely comical.  Let me know when the tea party has a rally where Obama isnt portrayed as a monkey, hitler, or african tribal witch doctor.

/wont even attempt to get into all the names the president has on the internets
//fartbongo is pretty awesome tho

I’m so sick of thin skinned sissies mistaking and over-reacting to adjectives that describe one’s behavior as name-calling.

‘Unpatriotic’ is not name calling. For if it is, than so is ‘patriotic’.

name calling, is far more direct, tinged with metaphor, and makes no mistake in its meaning. As in, Sean Hannity is a whiny dickhead.

Is Hannity is now lecturing on name calling and nasty rhetoric?  what the..is this real life?

I think the point is Republicans DO NOT get away with calling Obama all those names. Keith Olbermann openly labelled Bush a Facist, and was praised, instead of reprimanded. Both sides do this garbage, and they go after personal attributes, not policy. These guys and gals should take a hint from Huntsman.

Unpatriotic and patriotic are both “name-calling”. Bush was constantly labelled a “patriot” for “liberating” people in the Middle East, but his war policy was extremely controversial. Anyone who questioned the war was (and still is) unpatriotic. The liberals are the same: Anyone who questions Obama’s policies must be a racist, bigot or a neanderthal.

Again, as I said before, compared to Limbaugh, Levin and Savage, Hannity’s a saint. And besides, Moore, Maher, Garafalo, Schultz, Olbermann and Matthews are no better. They’re all children playing in the sandbox.

Dry humor? LOL? I’m lost…

dude Rush plays Barrack the magic Negro on his show all the time. Are you out of your freaking mind? This whole gotcha game of who calls who names more is stupid. They both do it. Listen to any conservative talk show any day of the week and you will hear name calling.

sorry one more think GLENN BECK said Obama was racist towards white people. This is blatant name calling one of a thousand examples i could list. Ann coulter called John Edwards a FAG. Honestly i could go on all night.

Find my other posts. I clearly point out Limbaugh’s vile comments, and have said that both sides are guilty of it. The difference is a Republican making those comments will get media attention, while a Democrat’s comments, not so much.

Make that the litter box and I agree.

I do listen to Conservative radio, and I constantly call up and try to ask why they don’t stop the name-calling. Of course, I never get through… However, Limbaugh does get called out by the media, while someone like Lawrence O’Donnell does not.

ehhhhh i agree to a point but When Ed Shutlz called Ingramn a right wing slut he got plenty of attention and suspended for it.

Sean is a complete stooge.  Has he EVER mentioned that our revenues are running >$0.5B below normal, and that recession spending on entitlements by their very nature MUST RISE substantially?  I knew more about the U.S. budget, accounting, and economics in high school than he knows now.  Pitiful.  And Mercedes Viana Schlapp made a predictably fact-free appearance.

Only because it was so vile. Schultz also accused Republicans of wanting old people and cancer patients to die and nothing was said and nothing was done. Sarah Palin was rightfully attacked for her infamous “Death Panels” nonsense.

I’ll have you know that my cat is very mature and always tries to keep his litter box as clean as possible.

hannity is just about the least intelligent person in television news

Its vile but no more vile than a hundred comments right wingers have said and not been reprimanded for. One thing I have noticed is that a lot of it is about context. Conservatives are masters of this. And in some ways liberals are to. If Ed calls ingramn a slut in an angry manner such as he did he gets blasted for it and rightfully so. But if you are using humor while saying it like Rush and his cohorts do then it can be passed off as just that humor. Not really sure how glenn beck got away with calling the president a racist cause he wasn’t trying to be funny. I think that has more to do with calling a president names is ok but calling a private citizen names is off limits. Although Levin calls everyone names all night long so im not sure how he gets away with that either. He has callers on who say two words and literally attacks them personally for 5 minutes at a time. No to mention all the nicknames he has for everyone its childish if you ask me.

The FOX and Friends people are dumber.

“Magical Negro” is a phrase invented  by Spike Lee. It was first applied to Obama by David Ehrenstein, a liberal columnist, and Limbaugh picked it up from there. But which of these three guys is the only one criticized for using it? 

I blame Bush, corporate jets, Fox, tea baggers, ATM machines, and Rambo part 4.  Those are the reasons that the civil discourse is so bad.

We can’t we all just play bongos in a stinky drum circle with the rest of the hippies?

regardless nesondra I don’t care who invented it. Its wrong period.

You forgot racism and capitalism. Derp.

Is this the same Kristen Powers who “dated” disgraced former Rep Weiner? Well,she’s got that going for her,anyway. No name calling necessary!

If Sean is so concerned with name-calling, it might be a little easier to take him seriously if his whining wasn’t followed by “coming up at the top of the hour – Ann Coulter!” or “after the commercial break, Ted Nugent.”
This is just more whiny, double standards from a guy who has no problem with name-calling and profanity when it comes from someone on his Republican team.

I don’t know what’s more immature.  Name calling or crying about name calling.

And Hannity never has the guts to debate anyone of the opposition. FOX News fake democrat sell-outs like Kristen “I love Joe Lieberman” Powers and Susan “I’ll criticize the Dems for a dollar” Estrich don’t count. This guy wouldn’t last 2 seconds against Maddow or Hartmann.

The same Sean Hannity who brought on a self-proclaimed rightwing anti-semite to get quotes for his anti-Obama special back in 2008.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/06/hannity-quotes-anti-semit_n_132236.html
Yeah, there’s a guy who’s in a position to elevate the discourse.

LOL And you’re gonna tell me that no one on FOX ever called Obama a communist without getting fired? 

Oh please. OxyRush just used that column as a green light to play that racist ditty, complete with some lame white comedian’s impression of black voices. I guess next you’re going to tell me Rush’s Oreo joke last week wasn’t racist either?

Name one time Rush or Coulter have apologized for anything they’ve said. There’s your difference. Left holds its guys accountable if they go over the line. The right hypocritically defends theirs no matter what.

It always goes both ways. Liberals dont complain about liberals namecalling, while conservatives don’t complain about conservatives doing it. Partisans and apposing idealogs are generally hypocrites.

Very true. They make Hannity look like a Mensa member. 

Hannity doesn’t debate. He just spews out RP talking points thinking that if he talks loudly enough…he wins.

Sean Hannity is a vile deceitful pig.

The way the libs handled Anthony’s weiner, especially the reaction from his equally degenerate constituents tells ” real ” Americans ALL we need to know about the state of liberalism and the democrat party.

Don’t kid yourselves as God isn’t dead…he’s only dead to you…….your loss losers.

Duh! Which one has a radio program to spew this out?

Kirsten Powers rocks.

Both sides name call. Both sides get away with it in some cases and most of the time both sides call eachother out for the name calling that both sides take part in. Both sides are guilty of name calling and so people on both sides shouldn;t be pointing fingers and saying only the other sides name calls and gets away with it because both sides do it

I don’t identify with him. Hannity’s ideology may line up with mine but I just don’t understand how he is so popular. He has a terrible personality. We have a rule in my house – No one watches or listens to Hannity. He’s just……terrible.

As much as I despise Sean Hannity, he could hold his own against Maddow very easily.  The problem is the viewing audience would flick channels after a couple of seconds since both Maddow and Hannity are strictly party-line parrots.  All they do is spout their respective party talking points  and interrupt their guests.  If you wanted to really punish someone, just lock them in a room with Maddow and Hannity for about 30 minutes, they would come out raving mad.

The left is very quick to laugh at the hypocrisy of the “family value” republicans when they get cought in a bathroom stall doing things other than using said stall for things other than their intended purpose.  And the right is just as quick to point out when the “tolerant” democrats call names just because others disagree with them.  However, in my opinion the press seems to jump on the conservatives while giving the liberals a pass.  Not saying that there aren’t exceptions but for the most part its true.

name caller!

name caller!

I don’t agree with the argument that liberals DO get called out for innappropriate statements when its only conservatives who call them out on it – since the conservatives would disagree with almost anything they said anyway.  The media primarily needs to call them out but also other liberals. 

name caller!

name caller!

Kirstin, I don’t think you have recovered from dating Anthony Weiner. The fact is that libs are consummate hypocrites. They call TPs “terrorists” and then become lachrymose when Perry says printing more money is treasonous!!

dude Rush plays Barrack the magic Negro ”

And who coined the term “the magic negro” about Obama?

A  black lib writer for the LA Times.

I love how you don’t allow facts get in the way of your talking points!

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,3391015.story

Hannity the reason Liberals get away with name calling is:
Conservative name-calling is based on LIES and Liberal name-calling is based on TRUTH!!!

David Ehrenstein, a liberal columnist”

a black liberal columnist!

That’s it;spin it you ignoramus.

So repeating what a black lib  says is “spewing” things out?

You are a racist!

Francis, why do you could stuck watching these “shows”?  Hannity is dreck and anyone who has to watch it on a regular basis…well, I feel sorry for them.

It’s funny that Sean’s little fee-fees are hurt yet again, since he spends four hours a day calling liberals names.  If irony were a force of nature, it would have raining quite heavily in Hannity’s studio

Savage may be the only person in the national media spotlight who is both weirder than Levin or as big of a phony as Hannity.

Levin is an old man yelling at clouds; Savage is an old man yelling at ghosts only he sees. 

I haven’t watched Rachael in awhile, but I can NEVER recall her interrupting her guests.  Challenging them, yes, but not interrupting

There is NO chance that Hannity, whose IQ is either just north or south of 100 (we can’t tell b/c Ailes tells him what to say) could handle himself in a debate with Maddow, a Rhodes scholar.  Maddow does background research for her program segments and actually has exchanges with her guests (Nicole Wallace & Michael Steele regularly) w/o feeling the need to shout over them.

Bill Maher just called him out-”say it to my face”.  You think Hannity will have him on?
No freakin’ chance.
And his constant referring to Pres Obama as “the anointed one” is not only stupid but disrespectful to the office of POTUS.

that’s an intelligent response….are you 8 years old?

Did you guys not notice Hannity’s big lie… claiming that he never
questions Obama’s patriotism? He repeated it throughout several
segments. Have you guys not noticed that questioning Obama’s patriotism
is as much a part of Hannity’s schtick as calling him a “radical,
socialist?” Which, by the way, is another way of saying, “Un-American.”
Either you guys are not familiar with Hannity’s tactics or you turned a
blind eye to the hypocrisy.

This is a silly discussion, as NO ONE is guiltier than the liberals of cruel name calling. I have not forgotten James Carville wanting Kenneth Starr’s kneecaps broken with a baseball bat, nor the glee with which the news of Tony Snow’s death was met in the democrat chat rooms!  One poster even said he wished more Republicans would “get cancer and die.”  No, you can argue all you want, but the liberals are much more cruel, and get away with it many more times.  I have limitless examples, but no one wants to hear the truth. The comments about Sarah Palin’s baby shows the vitriol is over the top, and no comparison can be made with those types of comments.  Chatter on, lib defenders, but you are wasting your breath and time.

Any examples?

True, how can Hannity compare to that lineup of MENSA members on MSDNC like Chris Matthews, Al “Resist We Much” Sharpton, and Ed Schultz? I would’ve included Contessa Brewer, but MSDNC finally realized she was too dumb for even their network.

That last statement says so much about the right wing in America. You believe you’re all God’s chosen people.

Powers had the better of Hannity on this exchange last night.  I rarely watch Hannity anymore ’cause he’s just blathering right-way junk with no substance or background, ad frickin’ nauseam.

Whenever anyone disagrees with Hannity, he’ll just laugh and say they’re wrong and say something really stupid like “57 States” or “Jeremiah Wright” to change the subject.  Has anyone ever seen him debate any Democrat in a real debate setting where you need to have “real facts” on hand to argue your points?  I didn’t think so.

Cry about it while you call someone a socialist in the same breath, loser.
