1. Harmless fraternity stunt....
Edited on Mon May-10-04 01:19 PM by Richardo
...oh, and not as bad as what Saddam did.

Great election bumper sticker: "Bush 04: Not as bad as Saddam"

By the way, the real problem is that the photos were taken and leaked, not their content.

2. Says it's no big deal...
People are making too much of it and it is no more serious than a frat-house prank. :puke: What did you expect from a "frat boy"?

8. Here is what I found
He "earned his Electrician's License in 1986 and
Associate's Degree in General Education from Sage
Junior College of Albany in 1993. His radio show can
be heard daily on WNUTS 450 AM Talk Radio."

9. Hannity is a LIAR. He DIDN'T go to college
Of course, neither did his Nazi analogue, Julius Streicher.

www.us-israel.org/jsource/biography/Streicher.html

So it doesn't surprise me that Insannity would make things up and pretend he has a fucking clue about college life in general or frat hazing in particular.

Lying is what he does for a living.

12. Ha! If Hannity is Streicher, then Limbaugh is Goering!
You must admit the similarities!

16. Insannity wouldn't know the truth
if it smacked him in the face. He even believes his own lies.

5. Frat house pranks
Never realized how much I was missing by not pledging the Hitler Youth.

3. Faminism is to blame
women wanted to be equal in the military - actually talked about Peggy Noonen's article about the WACS and WAVES in WW2 - they wouldn't be doing this stuff.

Also the military probably wanted these leaked to "scare the Iraqis" (into submission, I guess).

No one apoligized for flying planes into our buildings . . .

Blah Blah Blah

Yada Yada Yada

6. Let's go directly to the transcripts, shall we?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,118874,00.html

ROBINSON: Well, one thing that needs to be understood, is that there's also an impact on the torturer. This is not a long-term job. Now, I use the word torture, but that's not what's happening in these pictures.

HANNITY: What is it?

ROBINSON: I've seen -- I've seen worse than this at -- frat hazing is worse than this.

HANNITY: So in other words, this is not a big deal? What should the punishment be if these guys in fact are found guilty of whatever is going on over there, whatever is going on?

ROBINSON: Well, it's not torture. If it was, they'd be accused of torture. They're accused of maltreatment. I'm not making excuses for them.

11. who cares?
My wife cares. Her mother is a big fan of Hannity. Her mother recently waited in a line for over 5 hours just to get a book signed by him. M wife wants to better understand how Sean Hannity thinks so she can discuss his views with her mother. I am trying to educate her on Hannity. Thanks for your interst.

13. Have her watch "Manufacturing Consent" by Chomsky
The only way to counter TV Propaganda is by undermining it completely.

17. Get her a copy of
"Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" by Al Franken. He lays waste to Hannity again and again by exposing numerous Hannity lies. I guarantee you, your mother-in-law will never quite look at Hannity the same way... if you can get her to read it.
