... As the host of one of the top radio shows in the country and with a prime-time television slot on Fox News, Hannity was easily the most visible member of the Trump-boosting media, making him a popular target.
Conservatives have publicly and privately trashed him for supporting the New York billionaire, something they have argued required him to betray the very principles he had for years vowed to protect. More and more, he has found himself on something of an island, punching back at critics who say he has made a colossal mistake.
And in recent weeks, the conservative talk-show host seemed to have had enough, not only moving to declare war on the Never Trump faction of the conservative news movement but also deciding to do so in a scorched-earth manner.
"Months before a single vote was cast, Sean threw his full support, on both his television and radio programs, behind the most liberal candidate in a field of 17 Republicans," John Ekdahl of the popular conservative Ace of Spades blog said Monday. "Ultimately, he realizes this was a gigantic mistake, and now he's attacking those who continue to point it out." ...

Hannity, Savage, Ann Coulter, Jeff Kuhner, Howie Carr are looking like bleeping geniuses while the rest of the TDS talkers look like fermented milk product Richards.
Could the BI be more freakin' off?....
Agreed. Sean Hannity is one of the few shows I will watch on Fox any longer. I used to poke a bit of fun at him, but he’s been a brave guy and up front about his support for Trump. I like him.
Who gives a crap about some sanctimonious bloggers saying negative things about Sean Hannity? How is this a news article?
Conservatives have publicly and privately trashed him for supporting the New York billionaire, “
Conservatives My ASS, These are Globalist Elitist members of the Ruling Class desperate to hold on to their Power to Make themselves and their friends Wealthy on the Backs of the American Taxpayer.
No one has ever heard of Oliver Darcy. Sean must be doing something right.
“Months before a single vote was cast, Sean threw his full support, on both his television and radio programs, behind the most liberal candidate in a field of 17 Republicans,” John Ekdahl of the popular conservative Ace of Spades blog said Monday. “Ultimately, he realizes this was a gigantic mistake, and now he’s attacking those who continue to point it out.”

The entire article is complete BS, but this part takes the cake.
Trump was the only candidate of the 17 who was clearly on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
The rest were all in favor of some kind of accomodation for illegal aliens. Some of them wanted to give them the country (Rubio, Graham).
There is nothing more conservative than conserving the nation.
Those who claim to be conservative and support “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” are not conservative.
Mr Wemple! PLEASE don't squeeze the Charmin!
Before he showed his true colors, a lot of us supported Ted. Including a slew from Texas. He fooled me. I wonder how many from Texas still support and believe in him?
How do you spell woop de doo?
Whoop de doo
Me to I thought he was the butt boy for the GOP but he’s been cool to listen to lately
How about the Never Trump movement cease their war? The RATS didn't nominate an acceptable alternative, they nominated Her Heinous, Hillary Rotten Klintoon. What is the purpose behind continuing the fight? To be part of completing Obama's fundamental transformation because they weren't in on it at the beginning?
I voted for Cruz in the NY primary (I know, me and nine other people) but I wasn't ever a Never Trumper. The primaries are long over. Trump kicked everyone's behind including Cruz and is the nominee. And he's a good nominee who is taking the fight to them, something we all said we wanted and never got from the likes of McCain and Romney. In every instance, Trump grows to the moment and she shrinks from the moment. Again, what is the point of the Never Trumpers continuing their fight?
It happens that Hannity is on during my drive home commute, so I listen to more of him that I’d really like. I’ve grown sick and tired of him railing against the Never Trumpers. It was interesting during the primaries, especially when it came down to Cruz v. Trump, but at this point, they represent nothing in the electorate. Yes, they’re way overrepresented in conservative media, but come November 7, the number of conservatives who fail to vote for Trump, even if only to stop Hillary from getting into the White House (again), will approach absolute zero. They aren’t worth the airtime at this point.
Ta, ta, they’re mad at Sean for calling out the Never-Trumpers. Big ole’ babies. LOL
The GOPe is too busy staring and glaring at Hannity. They should take time to look at the HUGE crowds showing up voluntarily at Trump rallies and appearances. “SHE” cannot fill a small meeting room while Trump supporters ties up traffic blocks around.
I know nothing matters until election night, but Trump’s rallies are drawing support even in place where such crowds are a huge surprise.
The denizens of the GOPe are busy speaking to each other, echoing the same garbage over and over.
Donald J. Trump seems to be quite busy speaking to AMERICAN citizens and voters, and in ever increasing numbers.
Pic of Oliver Darcy pegs the Gaydar.
Just by having no problem with McAmnesty and Mittens and somehow finding Trump too liberal shows that these idiots have jumped the shark.
I’ve been stating that fact for years, is us vs them and stupid idiotic lying frauds keep mucking up the waters.
Screw lowry/goldberg et al - their tweets are the stuff of middle school kids.
Hannity had my respect 8 years ago when he was the ONLY ONE who dared to make an issue out of the vile preacher and his ‘goddamn America’ crap.
To your other point, in what world can these freaks claim that Jeb/Kasich/Rubio are more conservative than Trump?!
I’ve stopped reading/commenting because it’s really truly the same old tired bs over and over. Other than hillary being squirreled away, what else is new?!
I feel the same way. Kind of a whiny NYer but I just can’t fathom people like mr no spin zone, who’s too lofty to be on Trump’s side.
I’m in hill country I don’t get am radio at all so I’ve never heard Levin, Savage, Shapiro etc.
Just found this; Hannity Radio show https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEknnA8ZvxbpwPEqnV2qIufyT—yd4pV9
At least I’ll be able to listen to it in my shop now.
These people throwing the conservative word around have no idea what it means .
When President Trump make Sean his press secretary, we will see some sudden 180’s and kissing of Sean’s butt by the liberal mediots.
