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

[Darnright]

>"Free Republic is childish. Come to MY board instead".<

Uh-huh. I've been to his board. It's full of trolls and barking moonbats. No thanks, I'll stay right where I am.

[XRdsRev]

I listen to Hannity when I want a 2nd class retread of Rush's show.

[OldFriend]

Whiny baby.

He's busy kissing Charlie Rangel's tush and he criticizes us?

[beyond the sea]

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

He really blew it today, but he's never been what anyone would call intelligent.

[1Old Pro]

Even as I type, slavering members of the lunatic fringe have entered my home and established complete control over my activities. They're even dictating which pajamas I must wear when FReeping. It is horrible.

I'll ask Jim to send an adminMod to your house to calm things down.

[slapshot]

He tries to have it both ways. Talk aboot media bias then have a kissy face interview with Russert, Rita Braver, ad nauseum.

His begging dembots for a Hillarita interview is sickening...I can see the "rumble in da jungle now" Here is my look into the crystal ball-

Hillarita (doing an evil Jedi mind trick , with a flick of her hoof whispering) "Hillary is the smartest woman"

Hannity: Hillary is the smartest woman...

Hey Hannity- Your either with us or against us. Remember the old hockey saying Keep your head up?

[KiloLima]

Maybe we should check out his *message board*.....hmmmmmmm

UGH, don't get me started.

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

FR has gotten pretty shrill over the past year and I say this as a long time member. The loudmouths and people calling each other trolls for no apparent reason have gotten to be a real turnoff.

[Age of Reason]

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

Bingo.

[68 grunt]

If he is able to keep his board clear of this type of infiltration, it will be because it is so slow and insignificant that it can be managed.

I don't think he'll have any better luck keeping the whackjobs out than anyone else. All we can do is to judge the posters by the comments they make. If it looks whack and sounds whack, it probably is whack. Doesn't do any good to contribute to whack, nor to debate with whack.

[Stopislamnow]

Yep.

Savage may be beligerrent(sp), angry, and might make a few outrageous statements, but he definitely identifies the right problems and attacks them unmercifully.

And he don't perform on-the-air ego fellatio on the likes of Rangel, Kennedy, and thier ilk.

[BibChr]

< grumbling >

Well, you started it!

D

[Indy Pendance]

Just wait until his bulletin board hits 200,000 posters. I'll bet he'll have a couple kooks on board too. Oh, wait, he'll ban anyone who doesn't stroke his ego. Too bad Sean, Freepers are great people, and you just lost a ton of possible posters, radio listeners, and viewers to your show.

[mnehring]

Well, Rush still refers to us as his "friends over at FreeRepublic.com" doesn't he?

Yep, because RUSH knows not 100% here will like him. Sean just has thin skin and frankly I think is a liar if he claims he hasn't logged in to FR in "years".

Rush seems more secure and knows just because not everyone here likes him, we all have the same goal.

[oldbrowser]

I can't BELIEVE what he just said about us!!!!!
"tendency to eat their own"???????
"engage in petty squabbling"???????
%^*^#!@% to YOU HANNITY!

That's just how we communicate with each other. Just because we don't agree on everything doesn't mean we are not together on the most important things.

[Walkin Man]

...says we taken over by fringe people...

LOL thats rich! Seeing as how Hannity is a mouthpiece for the RNC and the Whitehouse, is this how the Repub party and its leader view Free Republic???

See what happens when you cross the business interests that control the Republican party and are pushing for illegal alien amnesty and open borders? They cut you off at the knees!

Have fun pulling the knife out of your backs freepers!

[hsmomx3]

Sean:

You are getting old to many conservatives I have spoken with because you are the same old, same old. No joke. They say it is because it is always "republicans good, democrats bad" and how you and Rush are always touting how wonderful the economy is. Well, to many the economy is not as great for them as it is for you.

What can I say?

I think FReepers are gaining ground on you professionals as we can break news faster than it comes out of the mouths of the media.

Where do I go for the latest news? Right here on Free Republic, the source for trusted and verified news.

[Palladin]

...the comments, the articles, the wonderful FReeping events, and the PEOPLE!

[Viking2002]

C'mon, look at me. Do I look and sound fringe to you?!?!?
