RE: Poor Hannity
Saw this in the video comments.
Quote:Under Bush, 37% of Democrats agreed with NSA surveillance tactics. Under Obama, that number jumped to 64%. Republicans agreed with it 75% under Bush, but only 52% under Obama
Politics as usual.

RE: Poor Hannity
I can't stand Hannity. He is nothing more than a Republican preacher. Nothing he says...I take seriously or am interested in listening to.
See Tom...We do agree on some things.

Yeah, I stopped listening to Hannity a couple years ago. He is the republican equivalent of those dolts on MSNBC.

I listen to him about once a year because that is about how long it takes him to recycle through the same material.

RE: Poor Hannity
Hannity is the same as Rush Limbaugh, they would both defend the party to the death. I listen for entertainment only.

At least Rush comes up with new material for every show. Hannity literally says the same thing every day.

Haven't listened to Rush longer than I haven't listend to Hannity. Fortunately for me, my car antenna blew away and I no longer get the AM station he is/was on.

Agreed. He doesn't think on his feet well either, he just talks over everyone who doesn't have the same viewpoint as him.

OReilly is even worse in that regard. If his guests did any less talking his show would be a monologue. But he's entertaining.

RE: Poor Hannity
A lot of nationally syndicated conservative (and I'd imagine liberal as well) talking heads are seemingly more about who they know and protecting their club. Like anyone, they reached the mountain top and they are not going to rock the boat. Rush, Hannity, Bennett, Medved, etc. I want someone to call out Boehner for being milquetoast, not laugh with him about that time they say in the owners box and watch the Indians lose.
Bill Bennett in particular. He's all about "my good friend Senator so and so" or "when I was in Nantucket" or "those damn Beatles, bring their rock and roll to America."

So Republicans who supported it are dropping because of it's ever expanding nature. Dems were opposed and now after massive expansion and far more intrusion, they are for it.
Agreed, politics as usual.

No way, Rush has chastised the RNC and the Republican power-brokers more than a few times...
Hannity, however, is an RNC water-carrier through and through as he claims they can do nothing wrong in his eyes. On occasion he'll make valid points, but more often than not if Boehner or McConnell says it, he goes right along with it.
However, if you want someone however who is conservative and REALLY calls it like he sees it.. Mark Levin is the guy you need to listen to. He gets hard to listen to when he starts yelling on the radio, but the man knows what he talks about, and isnt' afraid to rip on ANYONE who deserves it. (I honestly think Mark DESPIES Boehner...)

The statistics assume the programs have stayed the same, and they haven't.
Politics, yes... but it's not quite as simple.

I wish his voice wasn't so nasally, but he gets angry like no one else on the radio, that's for sure.

RE: Poor Hannity
Never have watched Hannity. Haven't listened to Rush in more than a decade, and even then, only rarely. iirc, he was on talk radio during the day and I was rarely in the car at that time. almost NEVER watch Fox, except occassionally when there is some big event like a bombing or the towers or PERHAPS elections (though I don't REALLY care that much) and I'm channel flipping to get the breaking news from different perspectives... which is what makes it so funny when the libs on here assume that I do. I learn more about what Rush and Hannity and Fox say from the democrats on here.

I sometimes catch Mark Latrine on my way home from work. The guy cracks me up!

It is FAKE anger most of the time. I can't believe you have bought his shtick.

His voice is a bit odd for radio, but he rips both sides when he feels the need. Have to respect that.
