HANNITY: I do not think Barack Obama has been honest (attack point #1), and I do not think he’s made responsible decisions in his career (attack point #2), and I think we’ve been the victim of a bit of a propaganda marketing campaign (Clinton supporters might claim that, but not GOPeratives like Hannity, fer chrissake!), and I don’t think we know who the real Barack Obama is (recycled attack point #3). Do you agree with me?

So without an ounce of supporting evidence Hannity plants the notions of dishonesty, irresponsibility and untrustworthiness about Obama and of course Giuliani allows the charges to hang in the ether, unanswered, so that other surrogates can then develop the themes.

The formula is so easy, even proud college dropout Sean Hannity can do it.
