Bullyboy Hannity Challenges Jim Acosta To A Schoolyard Brawl

[left-of-center2012]

Like some overgrown character from West Side Story come to life - and to broadcasting - bullyboy Sean Hannity announced on the air he wants to meet CNN’s Jim Acosta “privately in a mutually agreeable schoolyard, alone.”

Acosta has a new book out, called, “The Enemy of the People: A Dangerous Time to Tell the Truth in America.” Apparently, Acosta wants to go on both Sean Hannity’s and Tucker Carlson’s show as part of his book tour but also because the two loudmouths have made disgusting attacks on him. For example, Carlson laughed heartily when his guest suggested an immigrant do “one of the jobs that Americans won’t do” and “drag Jim Acosta out of [the White House briefing room] and kick him to the sidewalk.” Hannity gave his explicit approval to a mob’s frightening harassment of Acosta at a Trump rally.

And let’s not forget that Bill O’Reilly once “joked” about how much he’d love to strangle Acosta.

Yesterday, Acosta ripped the two hate mongers:

“The likes of Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson, they’re willing to go off on me on their shows, but they’re not willing to have me on in person to defend myself,” Acosta said. “What’s with that? If you’re so darn tough, why don’t you give me an invitation to come on your show? What I’ve found over the last few days is that they’re not willing to do that. They’re willing to shoot spitballs from the sidelines like the class clown, but they’re not willing to meet me on the schoolyard. And that’s on them.”

I’ll suggest that Acosta start reminding everyone that it’s been more than 10 years since "tough-guy" Hannity promised to be waterboarded and would do so to raise money for the troops.

1. Acosta looks like he can handle himself...

I wouldn't eff with him!

[MurrayDelph]

2. If Acosta were to meet Hannity alone

Either Hannity won't be

a) Alone, or
b) There.

This is, after all, the guy who claimed that waterboarding isn't torture, and bragged that he would subject himself to waterboarding to "prove" it, then stopped talking about it when someone called his bluff.

3. "someone called his bluff."

I think it was Herr Olbermann... He backed out like the coward he is..
Prolly do the same thing for a childish fist fight... or a one on one on his show.. He's not mentally or verbally equipped to deal with Acosta...

6. Acosta should call his bluff so

we can all watch chickenshit Hannity crap his pants.

4. Better yet, let's see Hannity and Acosta compete on a Quiz Show...

...where all the questions deal with FACTS: Government, Politics, American History, the U.S. Constitution, etc.

Acosta would "beat" Insanity to a pulp.

5. Al Franken actually accepted a challenge

I can't remember from whom (his books are in storage), but he called some conservative guy who either mouthed off like this about Al or made some sort of general challenge to liberals and offered to meet him in a parking garage to throw down. The guy said, "I'm not going to fight you, Al." His son was actually impressed with Al until he saw the guy on television and then felt Al would come off as the bully for picking on someone so feeble.

7. I remember Blockhead Hannity once said he would volunteer to be waterboarded.

He reneged on that challenge. I guess he would do the same with Acosta.

8. Why are republicans so juvenile

and exhibit junior-high mentality? It is astounding.

9. These guys are all a bunch of liars, bullies and assholes.

And the sad thing is they won't be going away any time soon.
