I know it's Hannity, but it really pisses me off when...
he tries to blame the war on Clinton, Kerry, etc...

Hannity can tell me all day long that Kerry and Clinton thought Saddam had weapons, but there is only one person responsible. This is Bush's war, Bush's problem, and Bush's fault.

Pretend that a police chief got a hunch about someone hiding drugs in a house. After the chief raids the home and almost kills everyone inside, do you think he would get a pass if no drugs were found? If he said, "well the former police chief said they had them", do you think he would still have a job? If he then tried to say he was helping those that were left alive, do you think anyone would buy it?

Hell no, the person who makes the decisions is responsible. This war is sham, the presidency is a sham, and the media is going right along with it.

2. It is only Hannity
but the problem is there are a lot of idiots who believe everything he says.

I agree. Whatever happened to their cries of "personal accountability" and "personal responsibility"? Apparently they've decided that the "person" in those phrases is any Democrat they want to drag through the mud.

3. but, but, but . . .
I thought every thing was Clintons fault.

Like the great economy of the 90's. Like no new wars.

What else?

5. To a degree he is right.
Every dem who enabled this POS by voting for the IWR is complicit, as is Bill Clinton for continuing to help validate the WMD hype which he knew was not true.

But hey, whatever it takes to back up your DINO wife!

10. He is not right...
The Democrats never agreed to wage a war this way. They gave Bush the permission to threaten force, or at most, send troops to control Saddam.

They did not give permission for this mess. Just because Kerry, Clinton, and others agreed that Saddam may have weapons, they never agreed with Bush when he promoted false intelligence. They never agreed in sending billions of dollars and all of our military to occupy Iraq.

This was always his to own. You know it, I know it, and Hannity knows it.

14. That's the spin to cover for Kerry's unconscionable vote in the campaign.
The campaign is over, so drop it.

We all knew that the Intel said there were know WMDs back then, and couldn't get the dems in congress to stand up and do the right thing. I will NOT defend their cowardice.

The fact that Bush is the chief mass murderer doesn't make Cheney, Rummy, or any of the spineless democrats who voted for this less culpable. They knew damn well what they were doing, and that Bush would NOT use the authority wisely.

Christ, why the hell do you think so many millions were protesting? Why do you think THOUSANDS of Hillary's constituents tried to get her not to vote for it. But she didn't care that 90% of her constituents were against it.

Hannity's a piece of trash, and the Congressional dems GAVE him this issue by validating Bush's lies.

6. Hannity is just a symptom
of a bunch of people who just aren't into reality.

My favorite one was when the shrub's military record was under fire. Hannity knows how to "ooooooooooo, dance a little sidestep." I was LMAO listening to that one.

8. I have one word for Hannity -- Jackass.
I listen to him on the way home as that station has the traffic reports every 10 minutes and driving in the Atlanta area, you need to know what is ahead of you. But at least I can focus my anger on him and not the other assholes on the road cutting me off and tailgating.

11. I don't understand how you could listen to Hannity over Randi...
I live in Atlanta, and I have never been helped by a traffic report. I would sit in traffic for two hours than have to sit through 5 minutes listening to Hannity.

You may not like Randi, but she certainly has to be better than dumbass.

You have a choice. Try 1690AM. It's worth it.

13. I can't pick up 1690. I work in Marietta and live in Woodstock.
I can't get reception from that station at either location. They only way I can listen is on the computer.

16. This is a very weird time for guys like Hannity.
It's weird to listen to them, anyway.

His brand of propaganda is very much of the Limbaugh variety. It's a product of the 1990's conservative movement, when Republicans could blame everything on Bill Clinton, and say that if only Republicans could have control, everything would be so much better.

But now they have that power. The Republicans have alot more power than Clinton ever did, but everything is worse.

So here's Sean Hannity, doing his old tap-dance, blaming Democrats and blaming Bill Clinton, still thinking it's all a matter of spin. Guys like him are still just trying to find that magic angle that will allow them cast the blame on their liberal bogeyman. He's a fucking joke.
