Hannity does it again (Clinton caused the recession)

On May 3, the very day that Media Matters for America released a report documenting repeated misstatements by Hannity & Colmes co-host Sean Hannity, among others, about when the recession began, Hannity asserted again on his FOX News Channel program, " did inherit a recession" from the Clinton administration.

Media Matters for America's report "Backdating the Recession" catalogued the numerous false references in the media to Bush's "inherited recession." In fact, as Media Matters for America's report showed, the U.S. economy went into a recession for the first time in ten years in March 2001, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private, nonpartisan organization whose business cycle announcements have long been considered the definitive word on recessions.

6. Hannity repeats that at least once a day.

Like he is trying to convince himself of his own lies.

8. Yeah, that's right up there with something a young freeper here at work

once told me: That the good economy the country enjoyed under the Clinton administration was not a result of Clinton's policies, but was a "direct result of the implementation of Reagan's trickle down policies". WTF!! Never underestimate the ability of these people to lie to themselves!:puke:
