Hannity: Obama ‘Harbors Deep Resentment’ Of America, Just Like Dixie Chicks
Hannity: Obama ‘Harbors Deep Resentment’ Of America, Just Like Dixie Chicks
On Friday, President Obama told a town hall audience in Strasbourg, France, that America’s tendency to dismiss Europe — as well as Europe’s tendency to blame America for every problem — had to end. “On both sides of the Atlantic, these attitudes have become all too common. They are not wise. They do not represent the truth,” Obama said.
That evening, Fox News’s Sean Hannity truncated Obama’s speech, cutting out Obama’s criticism of Europe’s anti-Americanism. Hannity was apoplectic that Obama would “blame America first,” declaring the president was just like the Dixie Chicks. What’s more, he insisted, the speech was proof of Obama’s “deep resentment” of America:
HANNITY: You know, I’m going to — I resent this. When you consider…all we have done just in the last century alone to save Europe from themselves. I resent this. I think it’s outrageous, the media’s ignored it. But don’t you think this is like the Dixie Chicks? [...]
HANNITY: But didn’t we see all of this in the campaign? As I was bringing up — didn’t Reverend Wright give us a little insight into his thought process? Didn’t, you know, Michelle Obama, America is a downright mean country. … But I’m thinking, didn’t we get some insight? When you sit on a board and give speeches with Bill Ayers, didn’t this — Do you think he harbors deep resentment that he just hides? Because I believe he does.
Watch it:
In 2003, the Dixie Chicks caused a firestorm when they told a London audience that they did not support the Iraq war and that they were “ashamed” George Bush was from Texas, like them. At the time, Hannity was outraged, slamming them for going to “foreign soil” and “taking a shot not only at the president, at their country as well.”

Here’s a joke for everyone; Sean Hannity!
April 5th, 2009 at 5:05 pmBwahahahahahahahhahaha!!!!!
HANNITY: You know, I’m going to — I resent this…
– - Pffffft. It’s your metier, Sean my boy.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:06 pmThis is the kind of talk that is triggering crazed murderers.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:08 pmI watched this online. Anybody notice how Angry and Resentful he is in this video? Do you think he’s been harboring it and he just hides it in public?
April 5th, 2009 at 5:11 pmHannity harbors a deep and intractable stupidity. Just like Limbaugh, Doocy, O’Reilly, etc…
April 5th, 2009 at 5:13 pmFlag the troll. Do not respond. E-mail TP.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:14 pm“But in Europe, there is an anti-Americanism that is at once casual but can also be insidious. Instead of recognizing the good that America so often does in the world, there have been times where Europeans choose to blame America for much of what’s bad.”
That was the rest of what Obama said. At least Billo the clown showed the WHOLE clip and not just part of it. Oddly, this was Billo’s favorite part of Obama’s speech where Obama criticised both countries.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:15 pm“you must respect the president” lasted how long over at faux? that’s right, until the second 43 stepped onto the helicopter leaving the white house forever.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:16 pmIt never ceases to amaze me how far this man will go to smear Obama, but its okay Obama will come out on top in the end just like he did in the campaign. Hannity tried as hard as he could to stop Obama and failed miserably. This will be no different. No wait, this will be different. Hannity will look EVEN MORE STUPID,SILLY, AND OUT OF TOUCH! Anybody seen the countdown to 2012 on Hannity’s website? Poor guy doesn’t realize all he’s doing is counting down to Obama’s second term!:)
April 5th, 2009 at 5:20 pmSean Hannity trying to read Barack Obama’s mind is like a dog trying to understand his master.

April 5th, 2009 at 5:20 pmsean, i harbor a deep resentment of midgets pretending to be newscasters. i find them creepy with their napoleonic complexes.
These guys are so desperate, about what i don’t know – it’s not like the bush trials have begun yet – that it would be hilarious if it wasn’t so counter-productive and i’m afraid to say dangerous.
If they are desperate to find right-wing storys i say stop it! It’s too destructive.
It’s time for the MSM to tool a whole new news format! Legitimate people, not republicans all the time. What a disgusting waste it is now.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:21 pmActually, all the anger, hatred, and resentment is broadcast 24/7 on the ‘main stream media’ from people like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bill O’Reilly, and William Kristol. No wonder why Republicans are killing innocent people all over America.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:22 pmYou know Sean, you’re gettin’ a little vein there..

“Hannity: Obama ‘Harbors Deep Resentment’ Of America, Just Like Dixie Chicks”
Transmitting the usual garbage from Planet Wingnuttia. Seriously, Hannity is an ex-bartender and wannabe journalist wingnut. Still spews distortion, crapola, and stupidity.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:25 pmOne way to look at it is that we are watching America’s taliban in action. The biggest difference is that they own their own TV networks and their own TV personalities, thanks to the freedoms they enjoy in America.

April 5th, 2009 at 5:31 pmYou look like a totally scared weirdo when you do not engage in polite conversation. Do you wish to be taken seriously or do you prefer playing the clown?
i wonder how long it will be before that midget hannity removes the pillowcase from his couch’s throwpillow and appears on “hannity’s america” as the good little klansman he is?
April 5th, 2009 at 5:31 pmThe more these people (and I use the term loosely) keep putting out garbage like this, the less chance this country has of ever healing. I really believe that is what they want. I went on a complete rant yesterday on another thread about this, and it just goes on and on. I have given up trying to “reach out” to these folks – unless it’s to punch one of them in the mouth.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:32 pmToday’s GOP is a genetically and or psychologically depraved menagerie of morally and ethically defective mutants, miscreants and kamikaze loyalists who are crashing and burning all things Republican. They are the buzzards and hyenas fighting over the last scraps of a carcass that’s riddled with maggots and festering clumps of rotted flesh. They are the opportunistic scavengers whose very survival is and always has been dependent on the leavings of alpha predators. Today’s GOP represents nothing more than the dying gasps of a failing species that nature has selected for extinction.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:33 pmBuh-bye, sick troll. AGAIN. :-D
April 5th, 2009 at 5:38 pmWow, he just loves projecting all kinds of things onto Obama. I swear this guy is a menace to society.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:38 pmStir up the base Sean, that’s what they need ,another dose of hate served right up. The fortress America crowd believes in deriding the rest of the world. Obama to his credit understands that to be respected as the lead country in the free world , we need to show that we understand and respect our allies. We do need allies despite the arrogant disregard of Hannity and his devotees.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:43 pmAlso, I just realized that Sean Hannity acts like the kid in high school who spreads rumors and lies about the popular kid in the school because he’s jealous.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:45 pmObama talked straight. The Dixie Chicks talked straight.
Little Seanie Vanity is exactly one of those people Obama has in mind when he uses words like arrogant, dismissive and derisive. And that’s what so pathetic about Little Seanie — he doesn’t even realize that.
Vanity is nothing more than an insignificant little p*ss-ant who projects an aire of humility and patriotism that is the exact opposite of who he really is. There will be a very special place in hell for puffed-up a**holes like little Seanie and he will be there with all his friends who are just exactly like him — Limpballs, Rove, Coulter, Marky Levin, Gingrich, et. al.

buh-bye republican party!

April 5th, 2009 at 5:48 pmI think the worst thing about this is the “editing” of what Obama has said to fit the hate machine. Someone would have a hard time linking all of the shootings and violence that is happening around the country to this kind of “news”, but what purpose does this kind of “reporting” have other than to incite people to do something stupid.

Hannity your such a bully and a coward. It’s amazing this moron even gets paid to twist and manipulate the facts of Obama. But what Hannity and even the Republicans fail to realize is that all their smear crap is only helping Obama. Hannity is past resentment he’s downright hateful and he gets paid to hate.

April 5th, 2009 at 5:56 pmThis is a common thread on Fox News TV and radio. You are either with us or you are with the terrorists. And the Republican politicans cower at the thought of criticizing such extremism. More business as usual in this regard.

April 5th, 2009 at 5:59 pmAlso, I wonder what BillO would think about people like rva posting abhorrent posts like that in his name. Ambush “journalism” and ambush blog interruptions. Typical tactics of those with no basis or intellect for sincere debate.
April 5th, 2009 at 5:59 pmHannity is a calamity, which is, unfortunately, not waiting to happen.
April 5th, 2009 at 6:01 pmHannity is showing once again it takes a brown shirt mentality to put a Klan agenda on the table.
April 5th, 2009 at 6:03 pmSome people may find this of interest:
Libel is “any Defamation that can be seen, such as a writing, printing, effigy, movie, or statue.”
Defamation is “Any intentional false communication, either written or spoken, that harms a person’s reputation; decreases the respect, regard, or confidence in which a person is held; or induces disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against a person.”
The key is that what is said is false. Truthfully saying that Bill O’Reilly tells lies is not libelous. I think some trolls should be more careful what they post here. That’s all I’ll say about that.
April 5th, 2009 at 6:03 pmLeave to a disingenuous, fear-mongering propagandist such as Hannity to parse a speech in order to try to sell his extremist vitriol.
April 5th, 2009 at 6:03 pmInsHannity is an azo, as well as a stoopid bully. This is just SOP for him. He’d be glad to foment a second civil war if he thought he could.
Cheers,

So they are being intimidated. It follows that their cowardice towards that intimidation is perpetuating it for them. The republicans just need to grow a pair – pass through puberty if you will. Problem solved.
Speaking of which, the Waco/OKC anniversary is coming up on April 19th. Look for some numbnutz to do something violent.

April 5th, 2009 at 6:11 pmI like to remind everyone that Sean Hannity is a Community College dropout and a former construction worker who got a job as a talking head. He has no more business advising anyone on life situations as Joe the Plumber who is not Joe and who is not a plumber and who is dumb as dirt. I did not think the president was doing anything wrong by admitting that the financial crisis started with our banks.
April 5th, 2009 at 6:13 pmOur founders never accepted this country the way it was, and that’s why the constitution exists.
An improvement process, including an improvement in relations, is part of loving one’s country.
Hannity, you don’t want solutions because it would solidify your ideology as one giant problem.
April 5th, 2009 at 6:13 pmHANNITY:I THINK ITS OUTRAGES AND THE MEDIA IGNORED IT!
Maybe because they listened to the VERY NEXT SENTENCE!
“But in Europe, there is an anti-Americanism that is at once casual but can also be insidious. Instead of recognizing the good that America so often does in the world, there have been times where Europeans choose to blame America for much of what’s bad.”

April 5th, 2009 at 6:20 pmSo Hannity claims Obama will blame Amerca first.
Who was it that manufactured a war in the Middle East which inspired even more terrorism ?
Who was it that partied while their country drowned ?
Who was it that sold worthless loans to the rest of the world creating a global financial disaster ?
Sure as hell wasn’t Europe.

April 5th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
Amerikkka, and especially the Busheviks (with the glad complicity of most of the US Congress) IS responsible for just about everything in the world that is phuqued up at the moment.
and if we are not directly responsible, we are at least indirectly the source of most of the bad in the world, from pollution to climate change, to species extinction, to war and famine and plague and the financial elt-down of the global economic system because our elites couldn’t be bothered to check on the shenanigans of their gambling pals…
April 5th, 2009 at 6:38 pmFairly Unbalanced
They bloviate viewers reiterate
April 5th, 2009 at 6:47 pmhammity appeals to many americans.
that is the danger in america.
hitler appealed to many germans that was the danger in germany. not once but twice.
it took two wars for germany to learn its mistakes in mentality. ie war mentality.
how many wars will it take for americans to learn its war mentality?
the problem is not hannity the problem is an american mentality of america first right or wrong.
how many americans lost sleep over the one million vietnamese we killed in that illegal war?
how many americans lose sleep over what has happened to the iraqis since we invaded them illegally?
look into a mirror americans we are imperialists.
until we figure that one out nothing will change in america.

Wright didnt say anything different than Robertson or Falwell who blamed Americans for hurricanes, floods or attacks.
April 5th, 2009 at 7:01 pmThat pretty much sums it up for me!
April 5th, 2009 at 7:04 pmDuring a discussion about whether this crisis might bring revival to America, Jerry Falwell said God may have allowed what the nation deserved because of moral decay and said Americans should have an attitude of repentance before God and asking for God’s protection. He specifically listed the ACLU, abortionists, feminists, gays, and the People For the American way as sharing in the blame. Pat Robertson responded with agreement.
Blame America Firsters…Teh Horror!!
I tire of FOX with their inane non-correlated events. Rape and Mel Gibson, Protesters, child molesters and the internet. The Dixie Chicks and Obama.
I find Hannity is more akin to a poor comedian than a ‘news’ person.
April 5th, 2009 at 7:08 pmI remember when Dubya blamed Americans having freedom and its why we were attacked…..isnt that a blame America first statement?
April 5th, 2009 at 7:11 pmresearcher;#66
Sadly, I completely agree. And I bet if you asked most Americans over 50 how many Vietnamese died in that tragedy, they wouldn’t know, and couldn’t give a rat’s posterior.
Same as the Iraq debacle.
Only American casualties matter.

And where is Hannity’s outrage when Limbaugh, etc. say they hope the president fails? Or when Michelle Bachmann told people to become armed & dangerous towards the government? Or— well, the hate/fear/violence mongering by Republicans lately is so frequent that it’s truly difficult to keep up with their attempted destruction of the U.S. They actively promote violence.
April 5th, 2009 at 7:16 pmThe really sad thing is how many people listen to Hannity, Beck, Savage, Limbaugh and so on and actually believe and agree with them.
If anyone needs evidence of a failure of our educational system the fact that these guys have the audience they do should be enough to convince anyone that we are quickly becoming a Nation of Idiots.
While they have every right to spew their stupidity and falsehoods it still scares me to death that so many accept it.
April 5th, 2009 at 7:17 pmWhy does Hannity think Obama harbors deep resentment of the Dixie Chicks?

Have TP post the IP addresses of “the bad guys.” Surely O’Reilly’s fans would never object to the principle of justice served, especially when TP would be doing exactly as O’Reilly advocates: “when the bad guys won’t come forward, we go after ‘em.”
Right?
Hey TP, waddya think? Why, if TP adopted that policy, I bet a bunch of O’Reilly fans would just flock here to show how courageous they were.

April 5th, 2009 at 8:05 pmRemember folks, this is Sean Hannity who recently had a poll on his website asking his readers to let him know which kind of a rebellion they approved of to “take back America”, as they put it. They were actually talking about armed rebellion like Michele Bachman.
My question is, advocating an armed rebellion against your government is considered to be sedition. Why is Michele Bachman not under arrest?

The scary part is the 1% that bite. They are starting to show up at an alarming rate. I really don’t want to see an armed revolution in our country.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:15 pmThinking about an “armed revolution”. I find it interesting that for the 8 long years of the Bush Crime Family’s rein of terror, I never remember any Democratic legislator or leader talking about “taking back our country by any means”, or wanting their supporters to be “armed and dangerous”, or “strap it on”, or “we have to get rid of him by any means”.
All we Democrats did was grit out teeth and work very hard to take back our country by the only legal means available to us, through elections. And now that we have prevailed, the right wingers want to take back the power by force, rather than at the ballot box.

April 5th, 2009 at 8:19 pmI harbor deep resentment towards Hannity and all the other GOP pigs who care more about their pathetic, margenalized, racist party more than their country.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:19 pmI was sitting here trying to think of what to post as a response. After much thought I just could not find the words to describe the stupidity of Hannity. All I can say is amazing, how could God create something so stupid.

yes, the warnings are out, and i’ve brought back in some plants i set out to get a spring drink, but i think the freeze and snow will stay just north of me… i heard, so far, 41, and if the clouds hang around, it’ll be ok…

That’s why right-wing ideology appeals so much to these suicidal gun-flakes. Their favorite solution to rejection is to self-destruct rather than figure it out and evolve.
Must also be why they’re so against evolution. Sh-sh-SHA!
April 5th, 2009 at 8:24 pmI don’t think Sean Hannity understands yet the deep resentment we feel towards him and Fox News. Sad. The neocons have not grown up yet. *sigh*
April 5th, 2009 at 8:27 pmI walked into this thread a little late. Just how vile IS today’s troll?
April 5th, 2009 at 8:28 pmKnow wonder all these Reich wing nuts are going around shooting up everything in sight, I would do the same thing except i don`t watch or listen to the Reich wings at all.Shut the F up Hannity and take your spin machine to hell when you go!
April 5th, 2009 at 8:36 pmThe president of the United States resents America? The America that put him in office? The 60%+ who think he’s doing a good job? What America is Obama supposed to resent?
These clowns think they define America, and therefore call anything they want unAmerican. They are so shallow and hateful that they don’t have a clue what the real America is.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:38 pmHannity thinks Dixi Chicks harbor deep resentment – Hahahha. They are having the time of their lives. I would not blame anyone if they harbored some resentment of Hannity, however.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:38 pmWhat’s ironic is that the Dixie Chicks were ahead of the curve. Natalie Maines stated her oposition to George Bush and the war in 2003 and by 2006 the majority of Americans came around to share her view. Sean Hannity is behind the times and at odds with most Americans.
April 5th, 2009 at 8:40 pmHannity is at the height if irresponsibility, if not sedition.
The only thing bigger than his ego is his head.
Desperate people, the insane, and the those who would like to see us destroyed lap this up and feel validated to take action.
This is not free speech, this is inciting a riot, this is encouraging lawlessness.
Yet, his hypocrisy is not apparent to him — what he decries in one person who disagrees with a president, he encourages in another.

April 5th, 2009 at 9:02 pmHannity is an absolute ignorant buffoon who loves to insult people. The Dixie Chicks never EVER resented America– they resented Bush, his war, & his lies. They should receive a medal for standing against dishonesty, war-mongering, & the murdering of innocent people. What does Hannity the chickenhawk stand for?

What a patriot. The daily shitstream from the right’s talking heads has me pissed beyond words at this point. Their attempts to discredit Obama are just pathetic. I don’t agree with Obama 100%, but with all the shite were in right now, give the guy the freakin benefit of the doubt or STFU and get out of the way.

April 6th, 2009 at 12:34 amThe irony, of course, is that the comments of Hannity and Huckabee are exactly the kind of American arrogance President Obama was referring to. Hannity is just proving Obama’s point!
April 6th, 2009 at 1:16 amIt’s not like the Dixie Chicks, it’s worse because he’s the president. What kind of true American looks up to Europe? Our ancestors rejected their defunct socialistic caste-enforcing ridiculousness hundreds of years ago in favor of the pursuit of individual betterment guarded by laws not kings and queens which has been proven the right course of action generation after generation. If your ideal is mountains of ineffective bureaucracy, incoherence, indecisiveness, pandering and more bureaucracy (not to mention the worst cases of genocidal brutality in history), they are the masters to emulate. That’s some drastic change alright.

That was dumb. We disgarded the monarchy long before there WAS any such thing as socialist. Your post is inane and doesnt even make sense.

April 6th, 2009 at 1:46 amHi Keith, while that might be true, it’s easy to pump up an economy when all your defensive spending is offset by the US first investing in and then defending your country with blood, sweat and cash for 60 years. Apologizing for arrogance is one thing, stroking their egos is another. Thanks for the ad hominem Eugene, I think you’re swell as well.

I wasn’t expecting much from you and I got a heck of a lot less than I expected. We are in 177 countries because we want to be in 177 countries to control every part of the world. It ain’t altruism. We have had many dozens of invasions because we want to control every part of the world. It ain’t altruism. It didn’t decrease with the fall of the Soviet Union.
I have lived in Europe for twelve years and have read history books for fifty years. I know of what I speak. Why did we lead the world in most economic categories in 1980 and have fallen so far behind Europe since then? Since 1981 we have had a liberal/socialistic takeover of the USA? Try again.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:41 amSheesh… the troll’s babble makes so little sense at so many levels it’s hard to know where to even begin.
Can someone please remind the troll that the US has never invested, nor defended “with blood, sweat and cash” Switzerland, or Norway (to name two) for any amount of years, yet they have higher standards of living than the US?

Sorry to tell you but you are a brainwashed moron. We are NOT paying for them. YOUR poor job choice isnt our problem. I get five weeks paid vacation a year.

April 6th, 2009 at 2:43 amIf you want to have a counter-argument it requires first that you rebut my actual argument, not the one you created for me. Are you saying that Europeans do not have far more entitlements than the average worker in the US has? Do you think that they somehow have done more to earn that or is it possible for them because they do not have to be as productive as we do since our taxes go to pay for their defense? If we are not defending Europe, you might want to call up the solders on all those European bases and tell ‘em to come on home (and bring the gear) since they don’t actually exist.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:46 amIt is sad that one like Hannity that basks in the benefits of America by claiming to be the one and only that knows “American values”. Spends his media time trashing American people.
Hannity must think that American freedom means Jackboot lockstep with the Republican party or your somehow anti-American.
What a waste of media time that could be used for so much of a betterment. I do not think people like Hannity, Rush, Cheney, Gingrich, Coulter or the likes will ever understand what it is to truely serve your country or for that matter sacrifice something dear for the betterment of Americans.

….CEOs get paid 400 times what their workers do.
Before Reagan it was 40 times. And for the last 60 years, the share of federal revenue paid by corporations has declined while the shre paid by individuals has increased. Individual top marginal rate has fallen from 91%. Therefore, the burden more and more is falling on the middle class—while their wages and benefits go nowhere.

If you want to have a counter-argument it requires first that you rebut my actual argument, not the one you created for me.

You haven’t said anything to rebut. You seem vaguely angry at “Europeans” and anyone who dares disagree w/ your pronouncements, but you’re not making the least bit of sense.

Haven’t you ever wondered how they are able to have all those entitlements while if we’re lucky we get 2 weeks off a year? Sorry to tell you but you’ve been suckered for a long time.

The productivity of European workers is shared with the actual *&^%$#@ workers—instead of going to the corporation and a few fat cats. Their government provides things that are beneficial to them—like education , HEALTHCARE, retirement, nursing home, public transportation, peace, etc.
The US began doing away with manufacturing under Reagan. We don’t make things anymore—just investments and speculation. The bubble kinda burst.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:56 amstage coach Says:
You didnt make a point. You took a stab as some stupid baseless assertions. The most productive workers in the world are the FRENCH. Since you dont really know what you are talking about and just spew out these generalaties I dont feel any need to do point by point rebuttals I mean YOU HAD NO POINT. We dont pay for Europes defense that is just stupid. Who are we defending them from? Yeah. Your delusional fantasies do not define reality and your baseless assertions do not become the truth because you repeat them.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:56 amWe spend a Trillion dollars every year on the military not counting the two wars. The rest of the world combined spends about $550 billion. Iraq spent $1 billion before our invasion.

WTF does this silliness mean? I doubt seriously the govt keeps troops all over the planet as a gesture of good will to all those countries they’re in. Could it be American interests want those troops where they are for their own reasons?
On one hand, you apparently despise what you like to refer to as “European entitlements” but then immediately turn around and sneer at the same Europeans for their “defunct socialistic caste-enforcing ridiculousness”… not too consistent, are you? Uhhh… are those entitlements, by any chance, a RESULT of those “socialistic” aspects?
And do you feel those “entitlements” are wrong or are you just angry that you can’t get the same treatment?
April 6th, 2009 at 3:00 amWhen it comes to dealing with a dissenting opinion, you guys are far worse than Reps. I said nothing untoward against anybody yet you have attacked my job choice, my intelligence and my opinions with vitriol as if you knew anything about me. Is nobody allowed to have an opinion other than yours? I would understand if I had attacked your character or opinion or called someone names but this response is a bit much, no?

Ah No. Am I going to have to take your hand and walk you through the most elementary points that any reasonably bright six year old would understand. YOU brought up European vacations as some kind of measure of how pampered they are and how WE arent so lucky. I pointed out that YOU werent that lucky which doesnt mean all Americans arent that lucky. It also showed that American companies CAN give their workers the same kind of standard of living. Remember YOUR brought up vacations. What part of this simple point are you finding confusing?
April 6th, 2009 at 3:01 amEurope really is not counting on the altruistic US to save them from the invading Russian Army or al Qaeda. They agree with our sixteen intelligence agencies who said our war in Iraq built up our enemies.

Sorry to tell you but you’ve been suckered for a long time.
Why yes you did and NOW you are snivelling like a punk that WE didnt treat YOU with enough respect? Grow up. See it isnt that we have been suckered its that YOU have been brainwashed and dont have the first idea what you are talking about.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:05 amEugene, please read what I actually wrote, not what you think I wrote, I said we are lucky (that is those of us in the US since I’m guessing most of you are not in the US) if we get 2 weeks vacation.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:07 amstage coach,
Pulling out of those 750 bases in 177 countries is really a very left-of-center policy! Do you realize that? Do you realize that most progressive would agree with that?
April 6th, 2009 at 3:07 amYou didn’t treat me with ANY respect. Commenting that I think the US worker has been suckered is somehow me attacking you?

Wrong again. I believe everyone speaking here is in the US.
April 6th, 2009 at 3:10 amThe reason our pay and benefits are poor is due to conservative policies that progressives oppose. Republicans didn’t even want the minimum wage to be as high as $5.15 per hour for Christ’s sake!!!

And that was some wierd delusional fantasy of yours. I AM an American and get more than TWICE that so YOU. HAVE. NO. POINT. It isnt LUCK. Our companies COULD treat labor better like they do at my job. Europeans workers demand and GET better treatment THAT isnt luck either. You may THINK, and I use that term in its broadest possible application, you had a point but you never did. You flat out arent making sense. Also your snivelling about how we treat an opposing opinion is just embarassing. Did you think we were obligated to agree with you and hail you as a guru when you spout such obvious inanities? Make some sense and see if that works better for you

You made some dumb comments and I called them dumb. They were dumb its that simple. I think you came in here with a predisposition you were going to be attacked while being reasonable. When that didnt really happen you told us we had been suckered. I threw some mud back and you have been whining ever since. So tell us which radio screechmonkey told you how mean we are on these lefty sites. If YOU are reasonable and keep away from being rude to us I will certainly stop being rude to you. I do wish however you would try to make a decent argument and make some sense for goodness sake.

ABSOLUTLY. I think the basic flaw in the Libertarian mindset is they think that there is a finite amount of power which is true. THEN they think whatever they take from the government will naturally flow to the people and that is NOT TRUE. When there is any power up for grabs it is competed for and those WITH the most power are in the best position to get what is available and in this country that is wealth and corporations. The government is the ONLY entity with the power to stand up to corporate power. The government is at least somewhat responsive to the people because of elections. Corporations are inherently fascist top down entities that will poison our environment. Sell a toxic waste dump as a housing tract like they did at Love Canal. Build a car that is a deathtrap and they KNOW will kill people like the Pinto ALL in the name of profit. What power we take FROM the government to the extent it will impair their ability to protect us from such actions will be a detriment to the public good
April 6th, 2009 at 3:29 amI didn’t read the whole blog,I just saw the part about the DIXIE CHICKS,and remembered that when it happened I went out and bought all there recordings.I think that the best thing that happened to their career,was when they said they were ashamed that Bush came from texas.Looking back I bet there are a lot of people in Texas who feel the same way now.When are we going to start prosecuting from the top down.

April 6th, 2009 at 8:24 amShit!
Hannity’s on to us! I didn’t think he would catch on this quickly.
April 6th, 2009 at 8:28 amThank you for running the piece on our client Sean Hannity.
We appreciate your continued support of all our right wing extremist clients. It is important to keep them in the limelight so as they can remain a high public profile.
Look forward to Rush saying something “outlandish” on Tuesday, Bachman on Wednesday, and Tony Perkin will finish out the week with some gay bashing that you don’t want to miss.
Please keep up the good work supporting our extremist. They wouldn’t be who they are or where they are without folks like you.
April 6th, 2009 at 8:37 amI don’t understand why anyone would watch Sean Hannity or Keith O. You already know what they think about everything.
April 6th, 2009 at 8:43 amYeah, the same goes for many of our fine wingnut contributors.
April 6th, 2009 at 8:54 amGood we agree.
April 6th, 2009 at 8:55 amLooks like ThinkProgress is one of the few sites with courage enough to even broach the subject of Hannity’s irresponsible behaviour. Night after night Fox News has wingnuts promoting hatred of this administration. The election is over and in this 70+ day period since, GOP, Hannity, Beck, Dobbs, etc. have done nothing nor contributed anything TO THE COUNTRY. Nada, rein, zippo … They offer their viewers, constitutents, etc. nothing of THEIR OWN CONTRIBUTIONS. However, their followers and dittoheads know ALL ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT. Geeeezzzzzz
Hey Hannity, Beck, Dobbs … put up or shut up! STOP THE MADNESS … you’re not helping America.
April 6th, 2009 at 9:07 amEven though they’re in the minority 66-33% and even though Obama and the Dems are running the country, they still think that THEY’RE America and we’re not.
Go F yourself Hannity.
April 6th, 2009 at 9:30 amGetting it wrong is Hannity’s mantra. The Dixie chicks are entertainers, not the defacto leaders of the Obama supporters and it wasn’t the Dixie Chicks, it was Natalie Maines, their lead singer, who was ashamed of George Bush.
What is Hannity ashamed of?
April 6th, 2009 at 9:33 amThe Reason why the msm “ignores it”, as Hannity Insanity protests is because they aren’t into broadcast fantasy…they are not a tabloid like your show is. Hannity’s cheap shots and misleading rhetoric only gets one so far…..My local radio station, thankfully removed the Hannity radio show of its airwaves….apparently others were protesting Hannity
April 6th, 2009 at 9:36 amHannity; even the Dixie Chicks are more patriotic than you and your ilk are.
April 6th, 2009 at 10:09 amIsn’t Hannity acting just like the Dixie Chicks here?
April 6th, 2009 at 11:01 amAli, Hannity is just a shill. Why give him coverage?
April 6th, 2009 at 11:08 amI’m thankful for the voices of sanity on Fox News. Our President went on foreign soil and, I guess in an attempt to be even-handed, ended up yet again bashing Bush and America.
Much worse than this tacky behavior, President Obama is single-handedly seeing to it that we will lose sovereignty in our domestic monetary policy.
April 6th, 2009 at 11:21 amDidn’t Hannity also take a shot at our president for being born in Hawaii?? On top of that, he’s always taking shots at President Obama and his efforts to rebuild our economy.
Sean Hannity is just like the Dixie Chicks, lol. What a hypocrite to the core.
April 6th, 2009 at 12:18 pmThere’s a huge difference here -
Sean Hannity is voicing his opinion of the President and the Dixie Chicks on TV and radio.
Worse, the Dixie Chicks did so on foreign soil.
Worse yet, our President did so on foreign soil.
April 6th, 2009 at 12:25 pmNotice how this article leaves out that our President called his constituents “arrogant” and “dismissive”? That is disrespectful and should inspire anger.
April 6th, 2009 at 12:57 pmWow! Those last two from the stupid trolls are amongst the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard.
April 6th, 2009 at 1:56 pmYou know, I think I would agree with the trolls. Obama should not have run down the United States like that.
April 6th, 2009 at 2:35 pmHe should have said, “When the Republican Party hijacks the American government, it can act arrogantly…”
Why should we have to share the blame with those jingoistic egotistical fatheads?

The GOP has nothing substantial to offer the American public regarding economic or foreign policy, so instead they resort to the same juvenile name-calling that failed them during the 2008 election campaign. All they can do is point their finger at Obama, sneer, and smugly proclaim “Don’t trust him. He is not one of us. He is un-American. He is a socialist….or a communist…..or a fascist…..or a Muslim…or the son of Satan.”
And their right-wing base jumps up and down and gets their blood boiling.
And the other 85% of the American public shake their heads, give a heavy sigh, and go about their business trying to help Obama make the world a healthier, safer, more economically vibrant place to live.
April 6th, 2009 at 9:37 pmWhat I find most disturbing is the rancor in most of the postings here. Lots of name calling. It would be much better if people would be a little more mature in their discourse and actually listen.
