What a Dumbass!

Good old Sean Hannity….I guess I considered him too easy of a target to put him on the site earlier, but recent comments from him have made me really mad.

Anywho, so here it goes.

Sean Hannity has his own TV and Radio show and who knows how else he is influencing people. Prolly in PLENTY of ways.

Why does Sean Hannity suck?

Beyond his politics, which I’ll get into later, he is so smug and thinks he always knows what is right. Open minded? he’s not.

…just look at that “smile” that says: I’m right your wrong!

So this is Sean’s latest comments on a teacher that is holding a mock trial for Pres. Bush as a war criminal on that crappy show Dayside on Fox news.

The segment began with a conversation regarding the High School in Parsippany that is holding a mock war crimes trial, where Bush is being prosecuted. Both sides are being presented through the “lawyers” and the class will not be issuing a verdict in the case. Surprisingly, Hannity actually agreed this was an ok thing to do, but had to add his personal opinion about Bush, “You know, as long as they give both sides, I don’t really have a problem with it, although it’s, you can tell by the way war crimes. This President is a great liberator, as long as that case is being made, that women that could never work before can now work in Afghanistan, that women could not go to school can now go to school. Maybe we can remind the students and show them images of the mass graves with hundreds of thousands of dead bodies, and maybe we can ask the question is Iraq better off. As long as those questions are raised, and the kids get both sides, I don’t have a problem.

Sean Hannity goes on to say:

“The problem is around Universities and High schools, and we see it in this case in Colorado, is literally that you have a captive audience of students, you have teachers not educating, like in the case in Colorado, the teacher is supposed to be teaching about geography and is referring to the President and comparing him to Adolf Hitler. He’s making excuses for Al Qaeda, quote ‘it was a military target’, the World Trade Center. America is not the best country on the face of the earth. They come in with these conclusions, the kids are a captive audience, they don’t have the ability to challenge him. If they do, they get a lower grade or they get mocked and made fun of in school. It really is a problem. The great news out of this Colorado case, and I’ve said this for many years, tape these teachers. If they’re proud of what they’re saying behind closed doors, in private, to 14 year olds, why should they be afraid to debate these issues publicly.”

There are so many problems with his statements. 1st off, aren’t we suppost to be making free thinkers of our children?
Also, Hannity’s claim that the students were a “captive audience". If they felt they were held captive by this teacher, they could walk-out or complain to other administrators.

This is what the teacher said to the students (paraphased at first):

“He started off his speech by talking about how America should be the country that dominates the world. That we have been blessed, essentially by God, to have the most civilized, most advanced, best system, and that it’s our duty as citizens to use the military to go out into the world and make the world like us. Sounds a lot like the things Adolf Hitler used to say. We’re the only ones who are right, everyone else is backwards and it’s our job to conquer the world and make sure they all live just like we want them to.”

…yeah a rhetorical statement in the old idea of Manifest Destiny…remember that crap idea? You know Sean thinks this way each and every day, I’m right and if you don’t agree u suck and I won’t listen to any other viewpoint.

Here is what’s funny, Fox News had earlier aired a version of speech by the teacher that included this line at the end of the aforementioned speech.

“Now, I’m not saying that Bush and Hitler are exactly the same, obviously they’re not, ok? But there are some eerie similarities to the tones that they use. They are very ethnocentric.”

I case you didn’t know or forgot for 1 second….FOX NEWS spins what people say to meet there right wing agenda. THIS IS A FACT!

The Dayside host then posed an excellent question to Hannity, which he managed to avoid answering “What if he was praising President Bush as a great leader? Should he not be saying that either?”

After a few more audience members siding strongly with Hannity (total plants in the audience), he finished with, “What bothers me too is when you put it in the context of history of what this man is saying about the American flag and comparisons to the Nazi flag, what is your knowledge of Nazi Germany, and what is your knowledge of former Stalinist Russia, and what is your knowledge of Pol Pot and the Killing Fields? Why haven’t you shown your students the mass graves that were in Iraq, you know there has been evil in the last hundred years of human history, on a scale that is unimaginable, and yet, he’s going to make these superfluous comments about America. I look at America, and if it were not for the United States the sacrifice, the blood, the sweat, the tears and the financial burden, I don’t see a lot of freedom in the world at all. That’s the lesson that ought to be taught.”

So apparently Hannity wants nothing more than pro-American propaganda taught in our schools. No critical thinking, no attempting to think of how others feel, just plain, simple propaganda to create more little Hannity-esque dumbasses running around.

What can be done? Contact Sean here and ask him to resign from all media and be an Alaskan crab fisherman or something more dangerous http://hannity.com/index/contact-form
