real men don't hit and yell expletives to get their point across. That's what immature assholes do. But then, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree in your family.

'seem' more rough around the edges for his braindead audience? Hannity is a craven coward and a serial liar. I bet he was a spoiled rotten brat that got everything he wanted.

The Rutgers players are grown-ass adults.

Would Hannity feel the same way if his boss was allowed to hit, shove, and throw things at him in an effort to motivate him to do his job? Somehow I'm guessing he'd have a problem with that if he was on the receiving end of such treatment.

A couple years back, she was on the panel of This Week, and, at one point, I thought she was gonna leap over the table and physically attack Paul Krugman.

What is it about FOX hosts that makes them display some hyper-exagerated form of what I imagine they perceive as masculinity/machismo when they're unwilling to back up their talk by subjecting themselves to the same treatment they claim is "no big deal".

Parents are parents, supposedly, because they are more fully developed than children, which would imply that they are capable of, and therefore RESPONSIBLE for, figuring out how to avoid acting like children and that includes hitting. Violence against a child's person teaches ALL of the wrong stuff about problem solving and, therefore, results in infinite problem propagation.

One of the sad things about physical abuse, is that the victims often end up being serial abusers themselves. Like, for instance, Sean Hannity.
