My e-mail to Hannity
I began listening to your radio show on the way home from work about two months ago. I don’t know why I would waste my time doing this but I actually have found your spin to be amusing and can only assume that that is why anyone would listen to it, to think that anyone would take it seriously is in itself humorous.

The lack of professionalism and your inability to utter complete sentences, or read material, confirms that you are clearly a manufactured commodity to add to the chorus of the right wing “big lie” machinery. I find it strange that in a competitive business you would repeatedly cite and refer to another radio host by linking yourself to Rush Limbaugh it is proof of your involvement in the above mentioned machinery. If the supplier of your daily “opinions” hasn’t informed you the “big lie” works like this:

Regardless of how ridiculous the claim (and the more ridiculous the better) as long as it is stated as fact over and over and over and by as many different voices as possible the claim either:
a. is regarded as the truth
b. no longer questioned
c. allowed to enter into the discussion
All aim to steer the conversation away from the relevant issue and distract attention from fact.

I disagree with almost everything that Mr.Limbaugh has to say but at least he has the ability to control his show, something that you evidently lack. It is also strange that you and he and all of the right wing hate machinery have exactly the same opinion everyday immediately. The criticism of the 9/11 widows for using the same common language as evidence that they are being coerced or fed lines by you and your fellow tools of the right smacks of projection on your part and the irony is unmistakable but then conservatives don’t really “get” irony.

Just yesterday (3/23/04) I listened as you and Ollie North whined about how the “mainstream media” is promoting Richard Clarke’s book and how neither of you would receive such coverage. Why anyone would believe a convicted felon like Mr.North is hard to understand unless you realize that he hasn’t changed his lying ways much, you might want to inform him before he continues to air his ridiculous claims of the press hating George W. Bush because he said that Jesus was the person he most admires that Ralph Nader was never invited to any of the debates and that leading off with that part undermines his credibility such as it could be. You yourself repeatedly try to justify the claims of Mansour Ijaz about the Sudanese offer to hand over Osama Bin Laden which has been completely discredited and was again yesterday at the 9/11 Commission hearings. I notice that Mr.Ijaz is not going to testify at that commission and is not heard on any outlet other than those of the right wing disinformation association (See “big lie” above). The reason is that he and his story are not credible but that won’t stop you and your kind from repeating (See “big lie” above).

This is just one example of what is clearly evident. If you would like to discuss this (or if you need any help reading this letter on the air) or any other topic I have included my e-mail address, feel free to e-mail me and I will be glad to call into your show (or you can call me). It could be fun for your listeners to be able to enjoy a fair and balanced discussion of any topic you feel comfortable with and have done enough research on or have your talking points handy to address. Your listeners might also enjoy some coherent thought that ability to express it. I doubt that you will take me up on this as your cover can so easily be blown by a regular guy such as me. Maybe it could become a regular segment say form 5:30 to 6:00 on a given day of the week, you can tell me the topic or you can just let me go “on the fly” thereby leveling the playing field for you.

I look forward to hearing your ever so entertaining lies this afternoon.

13. Yes, it amuses me, too.

Especially when he continuously repeats the same old lies as if he is trying to get himself to believe them.

I listen to him on the way home from work, also. Mainly so that I focus my anger on the radio and not on the other idiot drivers.

3. Good email. But he probably has rules in outlook that automatic delete
emails that don't say he is so handsome and smart and witty. Hanity is a complete idiot who has master the art of fake outrage about issues.

5. Great e-mail, he'll NEVER take you up on your challenge
But why bother?

If you were a German Jew in 1933, would you tune in to listen to the "Julius Streicher Jew-Hating Show" on AM Berlin?

Save your sanity. Don't give that scumbag an extra viewer (yes I know that your set isn't connected to a Nielsen device).

There is only one thing you need to know regarding professional liars such as Hannity and, if he was still alive, Julius Streicher.

And that's where to put the (COMMENT REDACTED BY ORDER OF OHS).

7. Whoa, Jeff
Bravo.

Fucking Bravo!!!!!!!

You know what?

I too, have been listening to him during my drive home in the evening.

I don't know why -- I just tuned in one day and was amazed, yes, amazed at the lies and the filth and the bitterness this guy spews in the form of "infotainment".

You're right -- he repeats that lie about the Sudanese offering up Bin Laden to Clinton every day. Every damn day. And yesterday, he was even pissed that the 9/11 panel discredited it.

And whenever a liberal does get through, he falls back on his patented attack mechanism: fill the conversation with trivial bullshit questions, and try to take the person off balance by responding to the trivia, instead of the substance.

Good job.

Fuck Hammity.

10. Yeah that Sudan story is his trump card...he thinks
I should say WAS his trump card. I missed that part of his show yesterday.

YOu should have heard Ollie North. He started with that story about the debates- I actually laughed outloud when he started talking about Nader at the first debate.......HE WASN'T THERE.

Ollie made sure everyone knew that he created the system that Clarke initiated (according to Clarke but there has been no repudiation of what he states as fact) on 9/11 to get the planes down. Ollie reiterated (regurgitated) the blasting of Clinton for NOT using the military.....ah revisionist history.

8. Nicely Done. One of his complaints is that
the 'liberal media' hasn't helped him sell his books. They haven't hyped it up like they do Dick Clarke's book. He's outraged that someone who's trying to discredit 'our President' gets more press coverage than his book (where he uses the word Liberalism in the same sentence as Despotism and Terrorism). He says that it is a liberal conspiracy that he doesn't get reviewed in NUT. I don't understand why he needs validation for NUT since they are part of the big liberal bias mechanism. He's pissed off that Clarke's book has knocked him off his perch on the Amazon.com and NUT bestseller lists.



:crazy:
