John McCain Clashes With Hannity: You And Fox News ‘Were Wrong About Libya’
Mediaite ^ | 9/14/12 | Andrew Kirell

Last night on Hannity, Senator John McCain (R-AZ) clashed with Sean Hannity over whether the host predicted the Libyan violence when he had previously said their American-supported elections would result in a quasi-terrorist state.

“How is it that Sean Hannity and a few others of us out here predicted with pinpoint accuracy that the Muslim Brotherhood would be in charge in Egypt?” Hannity asked the senator. “Their first task when they took over the Parliament was to declare Israel, our closest ally, their enemy.”

“How is it that the administration with all their intelligence and the CIA — how is it that they didn’t see this coming?” he asked McCain of both Egypt and Libya, before disputing the notion that the Libyans had a free election: “They kept telling the American people, this is democracy. I don’t view the Muslim Brotherhood as democracy. They want Sharia law implemented now.”

“That’s not clear that that’s true,” McCain responded before accusing Fox of repeating a false claim about the Libyan elections:

It was you and people on Fox that said in Libya, “We didn’t know who they were and let’s not help these people.” They had an election and they elected moderates. They rejected Islamists. And yes, there are al-Qaeda factors and there are extremists in Libya today, but the Libyan people are friends of ours, and they support us, and they support democracy. So you were wrong about Libya.

“I don’t think I was wrong about Libya at all,” Hannity shot back.

“I know you were,” McCain responded. “They had a free and fair election, and a democratic non-Islamic government was elected. So you were wrong.”

“I was not,” Hannity said. “They didn’t think the Muslim Brotherhood would take over? This is a known terror organization. We say we are fighting

Look at McCain and the shower of liberal talking points coming out of his mouth. What next, will he talk about those evil Israelis “murdering Palestinians”? (or has he done that already and I never saw it yet?)

The masses in Libya and Egypt may very well support the US but we’ll never know it. If they speak up, they’ll have their heads cut

Another thought - there are no “radicals” over there - every one of them is equally radical and really is our enemy.

Think about how FUBAR things are with McCain endorsing and whispering advice to Romney on foreign affairs in the shadow of current circumstances triggered by an Obama inspired and encouraged Arab spring meltdown.
