Speaking of Racist Republicans, Won't Some One Properly Shut Up Hannity About His Being Such a Colossal Hypocrite?
Before I run off on a potentially inaccurate tangent, I have seen The Rev. Sharpton on his show, and lets just face facts; Hannity can not keep up with The Rev. on just about any topic (and I am not now nor have I ever been a fan of The Rev. Word.) So every now and then, he gets some heavy reistance to his witless moron-mongering. (Ok. I admit for a neologism, I could and should do better than that, but for now, it stands.)
Recently Hannity has dragged his favorite dead horse back on stage, and I mean that other Rev., The Rev. Wright. I mean really. How pathetic. Didn't Wright become irrelevant to the national conversation about a year ago? And here is Hannity bringing him up, like a rabid dog digging up a corpse from a shallow grave. Did I say pathetic already? I did. Sorry for the redundancy.
Let me set this up, now. As reported over on Newshounds, on a recent broadcast Hannity was already adrift in an ocean of insanity, trying to draw a parallel between the cult of personality style public displays of communist leaders in such countries, and a recent display at a Barnes and Noble store, featuring a looping vid of Obama.
Now before I get the the rotting corpse of a dead issue, The Rev. Wright and his, "Chickens coming home to roost," remark, let me deal with this Barnes and Noble thing. Barnes and Noble is in the business of selling books and what-nots. There are many books and DVDs and what-nots on their shelves dealing with Obama, and the history of the first black president being elected; all that stuff that they would like to sell. Now I am not saying the Mgr. or Ast. Mgr. of that Barnes and Noble store doesn't have the slightest bit of like for Obama, but get real Hannity. Even if they love Obama, they would love to see the books and DVDs and what ever the hell other Obama related merchandise bought up. Ya think? Um. Ya actually got it ass backwards there, fella. This is not about socialism, but it is about capitalism.
Their on-line store has 308 Obama related items for sale, for crying out loud:

Or 310. The number went up from the time I first looked. That number could be significantly higher in a week's time, for all I know. Anyway (and sorry for the aside), I am not even sure how things got from there to The Rev. Wright. Damn. I will have to re watch the video.
Opps. There was a jump cut to the later segment. I did not see how he got there. But as good a job as Tony Danza does in trying to get Hannity to try to look on the other side, he does not at all stop the wind bag from pontificating further.
Here is how I would stop the wind bag. As soon as Hannity got cranked up about how awful Rev. Wright is/was, I would look for and use the chance to drop the following.
"Well Mr. Hannity, I guess there is a major difference between the way you look at that sort of thing and I do."
I would hope he would take the bait and challenge me to what I meant there, and I would reply something like,"Well I guess I am just more used to listening to sometimes angry, sometimes crazy people. I mean I have been listening to your radio show for years, off and on, and Rush, even longer."
And assuming I get the chance to finish the thought, I would say."And I do know that the mere fact someone says something angry or crazy sometimes, does not mean that that is the whole story. Take you for example. When you go on about how you think Obama is a socialist you seem to be angry, coo coo coca puffs. But I 100% agree with you when you say New York is the greatest city on the earth. See how that works? I agree with you, but only when you make sense."
Ya. I would like to see someone finally put him in proper context on his own show. But this is America, in the year 2009. The perversity is that people (few, yet some) can make a living by being such a total hypocrite. Some even become multi millionaires, being a total hypocrite. And in the case of Hannity what we have is a human being of little talent who is making a living acting like a crazy angry man in public, in some cases by directly criticizing other people who act crazy angry, in public.
Perverse!
Oh, and before I end, let me respond to that question Hannity asks Danza about whether he would sit in a church and listen to . . . bla bla yadda yadda?
Since I am a strict separate Church from State kinda guy, I am not in favor of any preacher going off on their own political opinion from the pulpit, no matter what those political opinions are. That is not to say preachers are not entitled to have opinions on political things. Just keep that stuff out of the church.
But those you who have been keeping up with my blog (if there are any such people out there) know that I have a deep and fixed loathing for preachers who preach politics. Sickens me, the very idea of it.
