Edwards could know absolutely nothing and would still be smarter than the completely clueless Hannity.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:07 pmIt’s that critical minute and half that Edwards spent, over what Hannity spends on his hair. In that 90 seconds, Al Qaeda could sneak across the border and blow us all up.
I wonder how much time Mitt Romney spends on his hair. Probably only 4.9 minutes, so we’re safe with him in the White House.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:08 pmSean Hannity is the personification of right wing stupid.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:13 pmLOL Hannity primps in the mirror for hours before his program, so hilarious that he attacks Edwards about his hair.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:13 pmgummitch > Romney is very in love with himself. Someday he will be outed as Gay and since he is Mormon then he would be required to commit suicide.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:15 pmI find it funny that the man that disses Edwards for taking a few minutes to do his hair supports a war that is a huge recruiter/motivator for the people that we are fighting against. Talk about not understanding the nature of the battle we have!!! This is what’s called a non-sequitur…he doesn’t understand apples so he cannot understand oranges.
Who are these people that watch FOX for facts?
May 26th, 2007 at 12:16 pmMr. Hannity’s assertion is evidence his consclusion does not follow logically from his reasoning.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:16 pmIf anyone has been visiting an expensive hair stylist and then doing whatever is necessary to maintain the finished “product,” it’s Sean Hannity. Who is this guy kidding?
May 26th, 2007 at 12:19 pmwell it holds true for Wolfowitz :)
May 26th, 2007 at 12:19 pm“primping†is evidence that he does not “understand the nature of the battle in the war
well it holds true for Wolfowitz ;)
May 26th, 2007 at 12:21 pmYup. By election time, the identification of Edwards and girliness will be complete.
Strap that codpiece on now, John, if you want to get elected.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:23 pmThis from a guy who wears makeup, eyeliner, and hair spray six days a week, every week, all year long, for a couple of decades. Primping?? What is he, jealous???
May 26th, 2007 at 12:24 pmDefinition of oxymoron:
May 26th, 2007 at 12:28 pm
I guess Sean should talk about his nose hair grooming to ensure us that he understands the war we have about his grotesqueness.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:29 pmIf ever there was someone who could understand pimping its slanthead Hannity
May 26th, 2007 at 12:32 pmAnd what of Romney and his $400 haircut?
May 26th, 2007 at 12:34 pmGood Morning RUCerious, favorite Credence, Susie Q….Your last post is way to funny, disgusting, but funny…
Did you write to any of our state caver’s?, just wondering. I wrote one gonna nail the other two soon…Blessings today and alway’s.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:37 pm“Does not understand….the war that’s being waged against us.” Give me a fuc#ing break. It’s a war waged by US against the entire planet and the rest of humanity. Jeez, talk about insane.
If there’s any silver lining to this cloud, it’s the encouraging fact that we’re losing this war against humanity. That’s what it boils down to, right? Either we win or mankind wins. Pick a side.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:38 pmHey Ben Dover, was that primping or pimping on the link sight.? Think you got it right, I need new glasses..LOL….Blessings
May 26th, 2007 at 12:41 pmSince when Hannity and Fox became ‘truth seekers’?!!
May 26th, 2007 at 12:42 pmHmmmm. Now, how different is this alQaeda manual from the CIA manual found with the Contras 20 years ago? Indeed, how much of this terror manual is based on CIA methods? Didn’t the CIA train alQaeda and the Taliban during the war against the USSR in Afghanistan?
I find Progressives, as well as Neo-cons, are all racing to damn Islam and speak of its Evils in the same manner that one spoke of the Red Menace, the Yellow Peril, and various other “international conspiracies” to control the world. It all seems to invovle defending “Western Values” which I find maddeningly vague and perhaps not worth saving if they’ve given us Global Warming and Gitmo.
I become increasing alarmed by stories in major media such as the NYTimes & Washington Post that tell of the hopelessness of dealing with Iran or the miracle of feminism in Algeria. It reveals an ignorance and an arrogance that is deviously driving us to hate and to destroy. It’s racist. And it’s no different than painting African-Americans as “separate”; the racist tries to tack on “but equal” until they’ve worked up a case for “not equal”. And then, look out.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:51 pmSean Hannity and other moron-cons have turned reasoned political discourse into the equivalent of elementary school playground put-downs. This puerile b.s. is the kind of thing many modern Rethuglicans seem to enjoy.
May 26th, 2007 at 12:57 pmHow long, pray tell, do all the faggy fascists inbedded in the Bush crime family spend primping each morning, Mr. Hannity? Got to look your best for the visits of Mr. Gannon, ace “reporter,” huh?
Right on, Commenter #18. Actually, imperialism is a very long tradition for the western powers, England, Spain, Portugal, France, Holland and Portugal: hundreds of years of attacking, invading, and occupying foreign lands and stealing their natural resources and exploiting their people. The good old USA is a later comer at imperialism: we didn’t start our extraterritorial occupations until one hundred and nine years ago in 1898 when we snagged Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Phillipines and Hawai’i. The people of the Phillipines were very tired of the brutal Spanish colonial occupation, and they didn’t relish U. S. colonial occupation, and they resisted mightly. We slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Philipinos until they cried “uncle (Sam).” We still have militiary bases and some troops there to this day. Now we are “fighting terrorism” there or in plain English, resistance to corrupt rule from Manila, the capital.
Bush I (an old CIA hand) tricked the stupid and greedy Saddam into invading Kuwait (the Kuwaitis were doing illegal slant drilling into Iraqi oil fields, but never mind that…), which gave Bush I his little war to liberate the Kuwaiti ruling class from the grip of Saddam (another USA/CIA long-time appointee). About that time Bush I got permission from the Saudi rulers to put in U. S. military bases into Saudi Arabia. This pissed off Bin Laden and his clique and the rest is history (sanatized of Cheney’s rolling out the red carpet on 9-9 and 9-10…).
The rest (to date) of the dismal history of the 21st century you know only too well (or you can look up on the Internet, if you are curious…).
Cheers.

Then the next time we see Hannity on TV, his hair should be a mess. Otherwise, he’s a hypocrite.
hyp·o·crite
–noun
1. a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess, esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs.
2. a person who feigns some desirable or publicly approved attitude, esp. one whose private life, opinions, or statements belie his or her public statements.

May 26th, 2007 at 1:28 pmThat’s it. My and my team are sneaking into FOX News studios. I will catch that Hannity combing his hair and then post it on youtube for the world to “study” for the next 2 years.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:35 pmRight. if he really understood the nature of the battle we’re in, Edwards would wear uniforms that mean nothing, and a huge cod-piece, just like Sean’s beloved “Commanderer-in-Chief”. Amazing how guys like Sean are impressed by an oversized artificial appendage.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:53 pmInshannity is totally irrelavent.
May 26th, 2007 at 1:56 pmBack at ya Uncle Ho, good to see your print, yep! good one’s…Blessings
May 26th, 2007 at 1:57 pmIt is interesting to see that a group, whom every member has helmet head from all of the product they use, focusing on Edwards hair.
May 26th, 2007 at 2:01 pmGeorge aWol Bush’s IGNORING and CHERRY-PICKING of intel says that HE is a LIAR and a TRAITOR to the USA.
Hannity is another piece of garbage from the Rupert Murdoch clan.
What would one expect from him?
May 26th, 2007 at 2:04 pmShort version of Sean Hannity’s blather:
“But.. but… I don’t primp! Edwards take five minutes to comb his hair, and I take three… three and a half! So, there! I don’t primp, he does!”
FoxNews: Always doing the utmost to bring down the level of public discourse.

May 26th, 2007 at 2:07 pmIrrelevant propaganda.
*yawn*
May 26th, 2007 at 2:23 pmOK $400 haircut does not mean that Edwards does not understand the war on terror. The fact that Edwards has sat his rich white ass in D.C. and NC says he has no knowledge of the war we are in.
Besides, who needs a $400 haircut? I am so glad that Edwards is intouch with the “common people”.
May 26th, 2007 at 2:32 pm#35 Unlike Chimpy who holds the common man’s interest close to his heart…give me a break.
May 26th, 2007 at 3:28 pm“The fact that Edwards has sat his rich white ass in D.C. and NC says he has no knowledge of the war we are in.”
Uh, hacker bob, “rich white ass in D.C” would actually be an incredibly accurate description of Bush, Cheney, Frist, and half of the Rescumlicans in DC today.
So, the “valid” point you’re making is…?
May 26th, 2007 at 3:31 pmComment by the republic of stupidity — May 26, 2007 @ 3:31 pm
Not to mention that Hannity himself has never “sat his rich white ass” anywhere near the MiddleEast, so his criticism of Edwards as someone who has “no knowledge of the war we’re in” smells a little like utterly rich irony, if not blatant hypocrisy -given that Hannity also “primps” before appearing on camera, by his own admission.
All this posturing would be really funny had it not so tragic consequences for the people of Iraq.
May 26th, 2007 at 3:47 pmI love how all these draft dodgers like Cheney, Bush, Hannity, Kristol, and Rush all seem to know exactly “the nature of the battle” and what needs to be done to “achieve victory.” I guess armchair generals know best.

Is this war a motivator for the muslims who attacke our embassy in Beirut in 1982?
Is this war a motivator for the muslims who blew up the Marine barracks in 1983?
Is this war a motivator for the muslims who seized the Achille Lauro in 1985?
Is this war a motivator for the muslims who blew up the disco in Berlin in 1986?

Comment by the republic of stupidity — May 26, 2007 @ 3:31 pm
And Edwards has gone to the ME how many times? How many times has he visited the troops in theater? None that I can think of. Hell, Edwards was a Senator from NC and has yet to even visit the military personnel in his home state. I have been stationed here in NC for 4 years and have yet to see him pay a visit.
He knows only of the war on terror from reading briefing papers. How about at least talking to the people that fight the war (that he approved) and he might get a clue.
At least Hannity had the balls to go visit troops in Iraq.
May 26th, 2007 at 5:49 pmComment by hacker bob — May 26, 2007 @ 5:49 pm
——————————
There is no war-on-terror. That “theater” you talk about is the venue of an unjustifiable criminal invasion, destruction and occupation of a country that posed no threat to anybody, much less to the world’s only superpower.
The problem is here at home. Our troops are dispatched from here. Our leaders are stupid and want to send the troops to achieve the impossible – to kill an invisible enemy that cannot be identifed. That is an objective an army cannot acheive. You might as well have ordered the army to flap their arms and fly to the moon.
What did Hannity’s visit achieve except more Iraqi and American deaths? Edwards visiting the troops in the “theater” in the ME would be nice political theater of the Hannity kind but would achieve what exactly?
BTW, a visit to Iraq does not take “balls” – all it needs is for the troops there to take a few extra risks keeping your ass safe. Ask McCain.
May 26th, 2007 at 6:28 pmComment by Abby — May 26, 2007 @ 6:28 pm
Just so you know, the “theater” I speak of, I have been there twice.
Remember, the “stupid” leaders that send us troops over there, your hero Edwards is one of them. Did he not vote for the use of force in Iraq?
My point: How many times has Edwards talked to military members that are serving or have served over there? What efforts has he made to get the “ground level view”? You know, the troop level view? None that I have seen. He does not understand what is going on. It is all an academic practice to him.
But I will give you this one. War on terror is a bad name. Because terror is a tactic. It is more of a case of a war on Islamic radicals.
May 26th, 2007 at 7:04 pmRepublicans are insane and Edwards is no hero of mine nor are any of the “leading” Democrats. I am one of the 60% who have no representation in government.
That aside, Bush was given authority to use force AS A LAST RESORT if all else failed. Bush did not wait to try anything else. As soon as Bush got that authorization, he pulled out the inspectors, wasted no time waiting for the 2nd UN resolution (which he knew he was not going to get on a weak case) did not form a proper coalition (a stupid speech like “with us or against us” is not worthy of anybody too old to be in junior primary) and jumped into an ill advised war everybody had warned would have bad consequences for both Iraq and the US. “The last resort” is supposed to mean something.
Lastly, it’s not a war against Islamic radicals. Bin Laden did not attack us for Islamic reasons. Of course “they” are Muslims! Our interference in Muslim lands and our biased support of the terrorist state of Israel was supposed to make our enemies ………what? Hindus? The Bantu?
May 26th, 2007 at 8:00 pm45,
The phrase ‘War on Terror’ ignores the responsibility the US has of helping developing nations rather than implementing policies detrimental to their interests.
Terrorism is an extreme solution to an intolerable situation. Mass support for terrorist solutions decreases as soon as there is a peaceful and acceptable alternative. Why do you suppose that terrorism is on the increase in Iraq and Afghanistan?
It is true that terrorist action predates the ‘War on Terror’. This is because the problems that lead people to terrorist solutions don’t go away. Terrorism doesn’t exist in a vaccum.
The only real way to combat terrorism is by marginalising extremists through making real improvements to people’s lives. Bombing never works in the long term: it’s like cutting a head off the hydra.
May 27th, 2007 at 8:44 amDo people on the right even take Hannity seriously? That guy is moronic by anyone’s standards.

No, but people on the left take him too seriously. They whine and cry every time he open his mouth.
May 27th, 2007 at 11:40 amYet Hannity didn’t throw his career away over a haircut. So how’s that worked out ?
May 28th, 2007 at 10:27 amSean Hannity is a clown.
He is just another NeoCon lapdog undulating for fame and the buck by spouting the party line. He never served one day of military service but cheerleads the lives of our young people into constant and never ending warfare.
Like so many of the FoxNews clowns, the guy would have zero staying power on his own.
HaniClown, “The Great American” joke!
