Any time you encounter someone who has spent the better part of their life preventing themselves from learning about the world, they are going to appear crazy to someone who has continued to learn, as they continue with ideas that have obviously failed. (definition of crazy, of course, being the continuation of failed methods)
Think of all the reports, documentaries, facts, people, events, etc. that he has summarily dismissed, but which the rest of us (the vast, vast majority) consider to be crucial to our understanding of the world.
Hannity, Orreilly, Limbaugh, Robertson, these are brains that might as well be made of swiss cheese.
So, my answer is that it is just you. You have allowed yourself to expand to a level of knowledge that surpasses his, so you don't understand his behavior, just like you don't understand crazy people.
But that doesn't necessarily follow, because children also do things we don't understand too and they aren't crazy.
So I would rather you view him like a child, as the kachinka doll inside of a bigger one.
His view of the world is just (near) hopelessly incomplete and he makes money by keeping it that way. History has already judged hundreds of his biggest statements to be blatantly incorrect, and as such he is a man that will eventually be forgotten or only mocked. Even if republicans rule the u.s. for another thousand years and he is given a nationally televised funeral.
Nothing in this life is the final score, don't forget.
The truth just has a way of working it's way out of the ground where people like him try to bury it.
And the truth is that Hannity wants you to call him crazy, because he wants politics to be about calling people crazy and summarily dismissing them. He needs things to always escalate, get excited so everyone is in a fuss and can't think straight.
I suggest just the opposite, treat him like you would treat a child. Tell him he's cute and quaint and that one day he will understand how the world works, but that you understand that he needs to be sheltered for the time being.
Then just become calmer as he becomes more and more irate, then eventually he will either change or have a heart attack and the good guys will have won.

Oh, he's not crazy. He's devious. He knows exactly what he's doing. So do I and probably most of the people in the U S.
I heard the show tonight and he stooped to a low that I wouldn't have thought even he would do. Someone (female, maybe the show's producer) was calling young people who knew absolutely nothing about who the U S politicians were. The background noise sounded like all of them were at a bar drinking.
One 22-year old female, college junior, said she was on her third drink. After Sean asked a series of questions, (who is the Pres, vp, etc.) which all couldn't answer, except one guy who knew the name of the sec'y of state. Then, his last question was "Are you a Democrat?". All of them said yes, except one male and he was neither.
And Sean Hannity had the nerve to refer to the Michael J Fox ad as "manipulation"!
That pep rally at the White House sure got through to those talk show hosts. Hannity and Limbaugh don't really need it. They do it all the time.

It is just you! Sean Hannity, although conservative, he is a great American. You may disagree, which you have the right to do, but you cannot put him down.
He stand up for the rights of all of us which is what The United States of America is all about. Freedom to do as we wish as long as we don't break any laws. I personally spent 9 years in the military and have fought in different conflicts to preserve our heritage. Sean Hannity is fighting in for the same thing only in a different way. Without people like him fighting for our right we may not be able to communicate like this or have the right to make individual choices.
We are a fortunate society, we are blessed to have been born in the USA, if you don't think so why are so many people struggling to get her?

Here's just one example-
Hannity was a critic of police brutality victim, Abner Louima, a black Haitian immigrant beaten severely by Brooklyn police officers in 1997. During the beating, Louima was forcefully sodomized with a plunger causing severe internal injuries. Hannity was criticized for charging that he had fabricated the rape, calling him "lying Louima", and using interviews with people alleging Louima had past sexual relationships with men to bolster the claim that he had sustained his injuries during a "gay sex act."[8] During the trial of officer Justin Volpe, Volpe admitted to sodomizing Louima and was sentenced to 30 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
Good grief, just one example of crazy. www.Mediamatters.org has a lot of his misinformation campaign. Most recently he supported Limbaugh's view that Michael J Fox was faking his symptoms.

Of course, the funny thing is here that Limbaugh & Hannity probably ensured a Democratic victory in Missouri and elsewhere. Without their national attention, hardly anyone would have noticed.

No, he's not crazy, just pretending to be crazy, so he will appeal to all his crazy listeners. Just like Rush Limbaugh pretends to be stupid, that is the only way stupid people will listen to him. They both know exactly what they're doing. Its straight out of the Right-Winger's playbook.
