Can anyone give me an example of when Sean Hannity has ever been hateful?

Question

Now be specific no general statements I want quotes.

Answer 1

No one can, because it has never happened!

Answer 2

Last year Hannity claimed that he had proof that Michael Schiavo had been abusive to Terri Schiavo. On June 15, 2005 he said "We have a mystery. Twenty six year old and we don't know why she collapsed. Her heart was healthy." while Schindler family members claimed the autopsy that had just vindicated Schiavo was some kind of liberal conspiracy (?).

Actually through the whole thing Hannity constantly berated something called "the liberal culture of death." To this day I still don't know what the hell he was talking about.

Answer 3

He had a professor on his show the other day, Kevin Barrett (University of Wisconsin), who is partial to "other" theories about 9/11. Sean Hannity called him a nut, said he was a wackjob and thought that he had no right to be a professor. I truly believe he had him on his show so he could play to the ultra-conservative wing of his listeners. He must get props every time he bashes and belittles an opposing player.

Answer 4

Here is a fairly recent example:

FOX News And Sean Hannity Distort Reality Of Israeli War Protest
Reported by Ellen - July 28, 2006 - 52 comments
Sean Hannity and FOX News portrayed what seems to have been a peaceful protest in Boston against Israeli actions in the Middle East as a violent pro-terrorist rally.

The protest was described as prayerful in both the Boston Herald and Boston Globe. Neither paper mentioned any violence or support for terrorism. Yet Hannity described the event thusly on last night’s (7/27/06) Hannity & Colmes: “Muslim and Christian groups stepped out to protest Israel’s action in defense of its nation. Now according to our next guest, that was advertised as a pro-Palestine, pro-Lebanon rally and it turned into a frenzy of violence and harassment as the crowd quickly transformed into a Hezbollah support group.”

Hannity played video of a confrontation between the protesters and pro-Israeli guest (is there any other kind on H&C?) Seva Brodsky. Brodsky claimed to have gone to the protest just because he was curious and, as he told it, he was going to be in the area anyway. There was no explanation why he happened to have his video camera with him, too.

While Brodsky spoke, “Harassed at Pro-Hezbollah Protest” appeared on the screen. This, less than a week after a liberal blogger was scorned by Hannity and ejected from his own “Freedom Concert” for the sin of having a different political opinion. I’ll bet that’s not included in the “highlights” from the concert on video on the Hannity & Colmes webpage. I couldn’t stand to watch.

During his portion of the interview, Alan Colmes said that the protest was not pro-Hezbollah, that it was sponsored by a moderate Muslim group working to find commonality with the Jewish community. This is in keeping with both the newspaper accounts and the webpage of the organizers, the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation.

But Brodsky said, “That may appear so on paper oftentimes and this is what they may say to the media. Very often, it turns into something else.” For example, Brodsky said, “From what I have heard, (one of the speakers, name unintelligible) he’s very soft-spoken, he’s very presentable. However, he was caught on video by other people with very hateful messages.” Brodsky added accusingly, “People need to know about that.” Unlike, say, frequent FOX News guest and Freedom Concert notable Ann Coulter?

No spokesperson for the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation was there to rebut the accusations.

“Freedom loving” Hannity said ominously, “I can only hope that our government identified those people holding up their pro-terrorist signs that are in the United States of America. I hope we pay attention to that.”

Later, at the end of the second part of the interview with Bill Frist (on video), Hannity boasted about the tolerance of Republicans. “Republicans don’t go try and torture somebody who has a different point of view, like Senator Lieberman.”

Answer 5

Hannity is one of the most militant warmongers in the public spotlight. Not only was he overwhelmingly in favor of the war in Afghanistan, not only is he supportive of the current war in Iraq, not only does he encourage an endless war against terrorism – he ends his book with a virtual declaration of war against China, Iran, Syria, and North Korea. He only apeals to low brow white trash.

Answer 6

The problem with him is not hatefule remarks so to say, it's that he intends to demonize Democrats with lie after lie in order for others to hate the Democratic party. He is spreading hatred..

Answer 7

He is no more hateful than what Colmes is.He speaks the truth, and to liberals thats showing hate

Answer 8

maybe possibly the discussions about the lame Dixie chicks.

Answer 9

he's never been 'Hateful' just tells it like it is
