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

[Indy Pendance]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[jimbo123]

Hannity is a thin-skinned lightweight.

[colorcountry]

Yeah, there are a bunch of people who joined up around October of last year who are a little off the wall. I am NOT off the wall - I am a fringe lunatic!

[bahblahbah]

All Your Kitty Vikings Are Belong To Us

[justshutupandtakeit]

Better yet Beethoven.

[scripter]

How does he back up his assertion? For example, what posters or posts does he define as "fringe?"

I was going to post similar questions. I'd like to ask him for specifics to have a better idea of where's he's coming from. For all I know, I'm the "fringe," and I'm sure there are folks here who would agree.

[mnehring]

I'll offer myself as a self sacrifice of a member of the lunatic fringe. Sean, I'll represent the self admitted Neo-Con fringe.

[b4its2late]

I corrected it in #97. His original e at the end must've thrown me off.... LOL.

[beyond the sea]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to Sean's radio show right now

Very fortunate.

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

LOL and BUMP!

[Vicki]

What is wrong with Hannity?? I stopped listening to him a long time ago.

[najida]

Uh oh.

[OldFriend]

And treating Scott Ritter with respect on H&C.....after the revelations about his pedophilia.

[radiohead]

He gives Charlie Rengal a pass but calls us fringe people ???

I was having fun reading the replies, but this one is right on.

This is Hannity's major problem. Every liberal is his 'good friend' but those of us who (once) gave him a base, are the fringe and not worth his time anymore.

I believe the 2 words I'm looking for are... 'ef him.

[TheOtherOne]

is the old 'BTTT' kosher?

[Fiddlstix]

Welcome to FR

[monkeywrench]

He was probably one of the recent bannished...

[katnip]

I've found a new home.

Well welcome home then.

MMMMMMmmmmmmm fresh new meat......

[Mudboy Slim]

Sean Sean Sean...when will you ever learn?! This sounds like Connie Hair's influence again...however, just as he's saying FR.com's being taken over by "the fringe" we've got those same "fringe folks" at LP.org and elsewhere complaining that FR.com's sold out to the Republican Party...LOL!!

I think they're both wrong...Fr.com's become too big and too influential fer one group to monopolize the debate, imho.

FReegards...MUD

"Hey Sean there are a lot of Hannity fans on Free Republic, don't bash us, man!"

I have much of what he said on tape. He specifically said that he wasn't talking about all "Freeps", because he said he gets to meet a lot of us in his travels around the country.

I have no doubt that he has been bombarded with an inordinate amount of email or other feedback that origionated from some of the screw-ball kooks that post here, and/or claim to be "FReepers". The same thing has happened to Rush in the past.

They employ people to monitor the internet and gather the bad-mouther's comments. I would too, if I was in their shoes.
