I listened to Sean Hannity on the way home. I don’t know why. I mean the Huffington Post distorts and smears enough on their own, but conservative media on radio and TV has been dominant. The rise of the right in the late 1970’s both politically and religiously did so with a big help from these media outlets.
Now I thought Rush Limbaugh was a liar, but smart on occasion - especially when not hopped up on Oxycontin. Ann Coulter is a liar, and just not so up to par with the issues or facts - drenched in her ossified fideism and spaghetti straps. I think Sean Hannity thinks his listeners are stupid and he will continue to lie to them in even if his lies are clear and unambiguous.
1) Obama has not had one accomplishment.
As far as I can tell this must mean he was not a POW and was not in the Hanoi Hilton - especially since those were referred to in the same frame of reference as “not one accomplishment”. Moreover, Hannity was clear that McCain’s record “speaks for itself”. Of course this “no accomplishment” line is what the McCain campaign apparently told Hannity. It’s like a dual dismissal of record - on on the negative and one on the positive. So what has Obama done as a junior Senator?

Obama says he would hike several taxes on people making more than $250,000, including the amount they pay on capital gains. Currently, the top income tax rate is 35 percent. Under Obama, that would go back up to 39 percent. Obama’s staff told the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center he would raise the rates for people in the top two brackets — about 2.5 million filers out of 100 million-plus. People in those high tax brackets would see the tax rate on their capital gains hiked from the current 15 percent to 20-28 percent.Whose tax plan is better for you? Obama vs. McCain :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Barack Obama.
So here he is raising taxes on himself, certainly McCain, but not me, my pastor, the police chief, or construction foreman for sure.
Limbaugh calls his faithful lemmings “dittoheads” because all they can do is mindlessly rattle of the same lies that he spouts on his show. We hear the same untrue lines over and over and over again with no evidence to support his absurd and untrue claims.
But Sean Hannity drills this stuff relentlessly and for hours every day and none of it is true. He’s a liar spreading lies. So if this guy is blasphemously referring to the Lord’s Prayer as a book title that has nothing to do with the Lord’s Prayer, who will deliver us from the kind of evil swill he puts out to brainwash people every day?
Oh yes, and a couple of highlights from McCain’s early Senate career:
- Supported Robert Bork
- Opposed MLK’s birthday as a federal holiday and then reversed his position later on
- For his first two years in the Senate he sponsored 102 bills none of which became law.
Hmmm. Some lapses in judgment there and not quite as active as Obama eh?
People should really look up even a little bit of this before making all these stupid claims.
