Sean Hannity, desperate little pr**k

While Claiming ‘I’m Not Bringing It Up,’ Hannity Repeatedly Brings Up Obama’s Cocaine Use»

Yesterday, Rudy Giuliani echoed the McCain campaign’s attack on the media for supposedly failing to research Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) youthful drug use, which he discussed in his memoir. “God forbid somebody would do some reporting on Barack Obama’s use of drugs,” Giuliani said. Minutes later, however, he claimed, “I don’t think the Times should” report on Obama’s drug use.

Last night, Fox’s Sean Hannity attempted a similar sleight of hand. After condemning a Times article about Cindy McCain, Hannity suggested discussing Obama’s cocaine use would be similarly inappropriate — all the while, repeatedly discussing Obama’s cocaine use. Even Fox News contributor Bob Beckel called Hannity out on his blatant double-speak:

HANNITY: Do you think it’s fair if I brought up that I started asking you questions tonight, Barack Obama has admitted to using cocaine? Do you think we should bring up issues of where did you buy your cocaine…Did you ever sell it? Would that be fair? <…> And the only reason I was asking a question that way, Bob, is because you know what? You would say to me, Hannity, 15 days out of an election, go take a hike. You’re desperate. So I’m not bringing it up. <…>

BOB BECKEL, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Let’s be a little careful about you saying you’re not going to bring up the cocaine issue, because you just did.

HANNITY: I’m asking if I did bring it up, is it OK? And do you think if they’re going to raise these questions about Cindy — but go ahead.

BECKEL: But you did bring it up.

Later in the segment, Fox News contributor Dick Morris declared he needed to know if Obama had “trafficked” in cocaine. Watch it: http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/21/hannity-cocaine/


Of course, the New York Times has run an extensive article on Obama’s use of drugs, relying on “three dozen interviews” to conclude that Obama “seemed to dabble only with marijuana.”

This is hardly the first time Hannity has sought to use this “desperate” tactic. On Oct. 5, he mentioned Obama’s admission to having “dabbled in drugs” as part of a segment on the senator’s “controversial past.” On Sept. 3, Hannity complained “nobody ever talks about” Obama’s drug use, and on Aug. 12, he asked, “Do know if he ever sold drugs?” But of course, Hannity’s “not bringing it up”; he’s merely wondering that if he did bring it up, “is it OK?”

1. The whole thing is struck just about...

n.t.

2. Sean Hannity has surpassed Limbaugh as the worst of the worst.

Coulter, Limbaugh, Levin, Crowley - they are low, disgusting, appalling people.

And they all take a back seat to Hannity, who has come closest to calling for the killing of Obama.

3. I wonder when Hannitys testicles will drop? n/t

4. Also off limits: Hannity's child-sex vacations in Myanmar

The age of consent is 7 in Yangon. Viagra is sold on streetcorners for 30 cents a pill. The Burmese people, Buddhists and Christians alike, avoid it, but the corrupt government makes too much money from it to stop it.

So it wouldn't be fair to make that an issue about Hannity. We really don't know whether he is a sex tourist, let alone a sex tourist who travels to a cruel dictatorship to seek out underage Burmese orphans to tie up, beat, and rape.

It could all be a monstrous lie. Poor Sean would then be accused of the sexual torture and rape of children -- AND condoning tyranny.

Similarly, Rick Santorum's Canine Capers should be off-limits.

Personally, since I am the Very Model of Modern Liberal Ethicality, I would never do such a low-down thing as to accuse Sean Hannity of sexual tourism in a dictatorship for the purpose of sodomizing and torturing innocent children.

Bad people might do it. Me, I'm just talking about hypotheticals.
