Hannity bashes Free Republic (February 2005)

[1Old Pro]

Just now on his radio show...says we taken over by fringe people

listen to the audio

[jasoncann]

what a jackass

[Cboldt]

Taken over? Hahahahahaha.

[ambrose]

Sean Sean Sean... you don't have to turn on us just because we're sick of hearing you plug your book all the time.

[add925]

Hey Hannity!

[Sir Gawain]

"And now back to talking about my favorite subject...ME."

[sarasota]

Anybody got further details?

[1Old Pro]

says he hasn't signed on in two years....yeah right.

[Always Right]

Fringe? I am not fringe! When do we start the attack?

[Borges]

Only if Hannity regards educated 'high falutin' people as fringe.

[Sertorius]

wow, you are fast!!!

[Floratina]

"Free Republic is childish. Come to MY board instead". I really liked him a lot until now.

[najida]

I thought that was what I heard!

[boomop1]

The whine of his voice is like finger nails on chalk board.

[sarasota]

Which one of his lackeys does it for him?

[DCPatriot]

He's just peeved because he's recognized as an egotistical bore primarily interested in selling books.

[Pittsburg Phil]

Hope this is not so. If so, what prompted Sean's rash comments?

[Hildy]

there's an element of truth in that.

[thoughtomator]

Really, Sean? That's quite the bomb to throw... care to name some names?

[cody32127]

I just heard it too, He wants to have His own FR on Hannity.com of course.

[Conservababe]

He also said he left as did a lot of his friends. Also, he has established his own forum, if I heard correctly.

That is it for me, Sean.

[jasoncann]

I guess Tony Snow and Rush are on the fringe as well.

[mnehrling]

When did I become a fringe person? I thought I was a run-of-the-mill NeoCon.

[Always Right]

says he hasn't signed on in two years....yeah right.

It's been about that long since I watched his show, so I guess we are even.

[najida]

He also said we eat our own, and all the people he knew left long time ago.

[Dolphy]

I'm not a Hannity fan though I respect how much of himself he devoted to the reelection of President Bush. But the comments he just made were cheap and not supported by my own experience here. Secondly, he says he doesn't read this site...I don't believe him.

[1Old Pro]

Fringe? I am not fringe! When do we start the attack?

LOL, perhaps we should visit his message board on his sebsite if we can get thru all the "book for sale" pop-ups.

[Xenalyte]

Now perhaps some FReepers will quit posting stupid breathless vanity threads about "Are you listening to Batchelor?" or "Rush is ON today!"

[NormsRevenge]

fringe people?

They aren't related to shadow people, by chance?

I'm watching a car chase on Fox and listening to Jeff Katz on KNEW 910 san Francisco myself.

[Dan from Michigan]

Hannity bashes Free Republic

So what.

[clyde260]

I can't BELIEVE what he just said about us!!!!!

"tendency to eat thier own"???????

"engage in petty squabbling"???????

%^*^#!@% to YOU HANNITY!

[1Old Pro]

there's an element of truth in that.

Free republic HAS NOT been taken over by the lunatic fringe. I simply do not buy that.

[Salvation]

So he is just advertising his website?? LOL!

[SlowBoat407]

Yeah, fringe people who blasted Rathergate open... You're welcome from FR, Sean.

[tx4guns]

Personally, I cannot listen to the guy anymore. His show is boring, and his ego is just too much. I've switched to The Savage Nation instead. Mike is more in line with my thinking.

[Borges]

RUSH?? ON TODAY?????

/sarcasm

[Paradox]

The sad fact of the matter is that a message posting board is always remembered by its most extreme members. Thats just how it goes. There ARE quite a few here whom I would consider "out there", but by far, the majority here are pretty reasonable type, it just so happens that alot of those with the more extreme POV tend to post alot...

[add925]

Fringe? I am not fringe! When do we start the attack?

Right Now!

"Hey Hannity!"

[MEGoody]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to Sean's radio show right now, but I find this a bit hard to believe. He may have been quoting what someone else said, but I very much doubt he said it himself.

[1Old Pro]

all the people he knew left long time ago.

So that's where all the disruptors went.

[Hildy]

But it has changed.

[Xenalyte]

Seems like I saw a thread or six about it. I'll find 'em and ping you. ;)

[Hank Rearden]

Then we're even. He's a repetitive book-hustler and not the least bit entertaining as Rush is almost every day.

Listen to Michael Medved instead, at the same time - your brain will actually grow if you do that.

[joesbucks]

I thought this forum morphed into his show. Nothing critical about the President was allowed unless the kid gloves were on.

I guess we didn't hawk his book. You knew he had one didn't you?

[Borges]

Oh I believe you. :)

[sarasota]

How's it changed?

[najida]

I may wear fringe.
My sanity may be on the fringe.

But otherwise,
I ain't fringe (poor white trash mebby, but not fringe).

[GSlob]

"Free Republic is childish. Come to MY board instead".
Well, to be fair, sometimes there is a whiff of childishness, true (and even more than a whiff on occasion). But it is not the same as being taken over by the fringe types, not even close. So what is his complaint?

[southparkNationalist]

hannity is a sellout. I new him for a fraud the day I began listening to the Savge Nation.
