If you are right, then the free market should take care of Sean Hannity's show in short order. It's not like his show is a race to the bottom like Jerry Springer. Some 12+ million people seem to find something from Hannity that escapes you.

....words designed around a specific ideology, hardly objective or original.

It's called having a core value system.

It's called putting on a radio show.

It's done for ratings and money.

You can play 15 minutes of his show in a continuous loop and people would be unable to tell the difference.

I remember when he was beaten like a drum in a 'debate' with Janeanne Garofalo. It was embarrassing to listen to Hannity utterly unable to come up with a counter-argument that didn't involve playing old sound-bites of Al Gore.

Pathetic. Haven't listened to the little dimwit since.

Rather than sounding humble, you sound like the kind of person who is afraid to have his beliefs and views challenged.

You know something about Humblegunner? He's my friend even though he knows I listen to talk radio.

And he's anything but afraid of challenge. Trust me. I challenge him all the time. Sometimes he even wins. (But that's usually when we're thumb-wrestling.)

Ack, that is sad. At least Scarborough (spelling?) ran her through the grinder. In Sean's defense, he may not necessarily feel the need to argue, then to point out that they are left wingers and don't like America. In the end, thats dangerous. The logic and facts being being a lefty and anti-American need to be challenged.

Hannity is just a rube construction worker with no substance.

Actually, I wear a tool belt every day. Just don't listen to someone that sounds like George Castanza on Seinfeld.
But you're "a Great American Sean!"

I think Hannity provides a sanity check. I end up listening to Beck, Rush, Sean, Levin and Savage almost daily through the week. My absolute favorite host used to be on WRVA his name was Jerry Lund. He emphasized intellectual honesty which I think has mostly been lost in today's political climate. Sean is clearly biased(who isn't) but he has stood against the administration on several issues. He just doesn't try to beat the President to a pulp and go off the cynic deepend when things don't look good like too many conservative has-beens who have taken to parroting liberals because they aren't in the limelight like they used to be.

Sean does a good job. He holds the left to the fire and is willing to debate even the most rabid of them. I think we need more of that because the left can not stand when confronted by a conservative unafraid. Bush has enough rabid critics and we should be ashamed for allowing so much of the leftist propaganda to go unanswered. They do not love the America we love. What they love is European socialism and urban "moral" relativism. Sean is exposing them for what they are and doing it will a smile. I can't fault him for that.

Hannity's Freedom Concert is in a class by itself. Hey, he is a Conservative commentator and freely admits to it. When he disagrees with the administration he says it.

He takes the left on every day and he can argue with the best. However, he isn't the most entertaining person. Both Rush and Levin are stronger, but Hannity can hold his own.

What I find distressing about Conservative talk radio is that they are calling Democrats Liberals. I want one of them to get a set of cajones and call Michael Moore, Streisand, Reid and Pelosi Marxists. That's what they are.

It almost seems that they were told calling someone a Lib is as far as you can go.

The fact that millions of people listen to him doesn't make his show intelligent, or the same could be said of Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, or Bill O'Reilly. All of these are primarily entertainers, with varying degrees of substance.

While I can't listen to Sean every day and I'm sure others can't or won't either, you have to give it to him. He has a very successful radio and T.V. show. He is a patriot. He supports our troops greatly and has been a greater support with his Freedom Concerts.

Criticize all you want, but at the end of the day you've got to ask what you have done with your life and what have you done for conservatism?
