What did Hannity say that caused him to be called an anti-Semite? What is the basis of the allegation?
Hard to take this stuff seriously sometimes.
Fine. Now that the Obambi campaign has called Hannity an anti-Semite, Sean can do a whole segment on all the things Obambi has said about Israel.
Including facts such as these:
How Barack Obama Learned to Love Israel

Over the years since I first saw Obama speak I met him about half a dozen times, often at Palestinian and Arab-American community events in Chicago including a May 1998 community fundraiser at which Edward Said was the keynote speaker. In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.
As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, “Keep up the good work!”
But Obama’s gradual shift into the AIPAC camp had begun as early as 2002 as he planned his move from small time Illinois politics to the national scene. In 2003, Forward reported on how he had “been courting the pro-Israel constituency.”

Sorry, Semitic.
The guy was trying to make a nuanced argument about guilt-by-association by taking a comment from a guest on Hannity's weekend show, and saying that by allowing it to be aired Hannity was tacitly supporting it and therefore was an anti-Semite.
The problem is, this guy didn't stop once the academic point-of-distinction was obvious. He went on for his entire segment by pounding Hannity as an anti-Semite.

Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told FOX News on Friday that Obama did not know of Ayers' history when he held a campaign event for him in 1995.
Barack Obama didn't know that William Ayers was a terrorist when William Ayers introduced him to Chicago politics in 1995 in his home! What a liar!
Everyone in Chicago knew it because Ayers is an unrepentant TERRORIST to this day!
This is what I thought was good about what McCain did tonight. He laid the groundwork for controlling the discussion over the next days and he laid some traps for the Obambi campaign that they won't be able to resist falling into.
What a fat faced puke.

It started with the Boma water carrier claiming Hannity interviewed a person who he claims is an anti semite on his program exposing Boma.
Hannity said he has interviewed all types of people over the yrs. including Boma’s pastor.
This was Boma’s water carrier’s way to twist around the argument.
Just Posted for Robert Gibbs.

LOL - What? Skeletor.... I missed something; but it’s funny.
Gibbs needs his butt kicked.
Gibbs served as a spokesman for Sen. John Kerry’s (D-Mass.) presidential bid.”
After leaving the Kerry campaign, in December 2003 Gibbs became spokesman for Americans for Jobs, Health Care and Progressive Values, a Democratic group formed to stop the 2004 presidential campaign of Howard Dean.
Obama’s mouthpieces are cocky because they think they won tonight’s debate and they think they are up in the polls.
This guy is a total moron. Anybody who can lie that blatantly is a loser who should be shunned.
Obama Camp Takes Bracelet War to Fox
9/30/2008
Anchors Brian Kilmeade and Steve Doocy asked Gibbs why Obama would discuss the bracelet after family members asked previoulsy expressed discomfort with his doing so.
“Let’s get the facts straight before we start making stuff up on the news,” Gibbs told them.
“Don’t say we’re making stuff up!” Kilmeade said gesturing to an array of news articles on his couch. “We’re telling you quotes from both parents!”
Gibbs refused to acknowledge Sgt. Jopek’s mother and father had been made uncomfortable by Obama’s use of the bracelet in the past. “She didn’t want the memory of her son politicized and Barack Obama respects that…I’m not going to get into a family situation where there’s been a divorce.”
“Unbelievable,” Kilmeade huffed.
Excellent points, mockingbyrd... Imagine interviewing the Hitler of Iran or bin Laden.
In absolutely no way has Sean Hannity ever been an anti-Semite. I would've loved to have seen Sean take that piece of paper Gibbs gave him and shove it down Gibbs' mouth! ;-D
