Hannity goes for Brokeback (Hannity Has a Dating Service?)
LA Times ^ | 28 November 2006 | Joel Stein

Posted on 11/28/2006 10:38:15 AM PST by shrinkermd

HAVE I EVER wondered what a wonderful world it would be if only my fans could get together, talk about how great I am and fall in love over their joint love for me? Sure, but unlike Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, I haven't done anything about it. At Hannity.com, in addition to enjoying the book club (Newt Gingrich, Jeff Foxworthy), song club (Charlie Daniels Band, Martina McBride), photos (Hannity's Insanity in Phoenix) and comic books ("Liberality for All" is set in 2021 and has a bionic Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North and a man born on Sept. 11, 2001, fighting to save a U.S. controlled by the U.N., including Ambassador Osama bin Laden), visitors can log on to Hannidate.

Conservatives need late-night, out-of-town hookups just as much as liberals. They also, it seems, need some hot man-on-man action. If you pull down the menu on Hannidate, you can select "I am a male, seeking a male." This was surprising because not even eHarmony allows same-sex pairings. Stranger still for a Fox News commentator's site, you can select ZIP Codes in Beverly Hills, Provincetown and San Francisco.

Ummm... I think the preferred 'wear' for the day is spandex!

You see? You see? One visit to Hannidate and you're already an expert! ; )

Don't be reading anything into it.

It was just a 'casual' observation!

Okay. But I'm going to say a prayer for you at bedtime. Just in case.

I understand I'm transgender now. Why would you mockk people like me? Hannity understands people like me.

ROFL. I checked out the site and put in a query...

--Female seeking female, between age 18 and 60
--Within 500 miles of Los Angeles Airport

Search Results: "No profiles has been found for your query. Please try again."

Explains a lot.

I did and thank you. I don't know what to think, but it still doesn't prove that he asked for this option to be included in the set-up. Maybe he just is honestly concerned about the gay lobby.

I read your link some good points there. I guess I am torn though, as both "sides" have some good ideas. I would hope though that people find a way to allow both groups to coexist in the Republican Party.

Well yes, as a libertarian I agree, but I do believe the principles of social conservatism, while I often oppose the government getting involved. For example, I oppose gay marriage on a moral basis, but would not vote to make it illegal for gay people to live together. I would never kill myself, but oppose suicide bans. Etc.

Hannity, OTOH, claims to be a social conservative but spends all his time on the radio and TV putting down anti-war people, and occasionally defending property rights. He literally shrinks from any debate over gay marriage, abortion, etc.

Not sure about that, but Stein is a Gen-X "humor" writer. And, if I'm not mistaken, was a big winner on Idiot Savants, a very tough quiz show back in the mid-90's. While I disagree with some things he says, I find him to be very funny and intelligent. Of course, I'm about the same age so that might have something to do with it.

So in addition to being a goober, Hannity is now a homophile. I've noticed that he no longer talks about his wife and children much. Perhaps there's a connection.

NOt an oversight. See post 58 (or 59?).

What is Hannity thinking? I'm not a homophobe, I don't care what people do with each other in a free society, and I don't think just being homosexual damages this nebulous public morality every always talks about. However, I don't try to promote or facilitate homosexuality, so I certainly wouldn't allow the homosexual option if I were setting up a dating site just for kicks.

You might be able to find one at Hanni-date....

LOL. I never looked at the term "packet sniffer" like that.

Stein is the guy who said that HE DOES NOT SUPPORT THE TROOPS - actually said it, which makes him a creep - and a homophobe to boot. Quiz: which groups really hates gays - libs or conservatives? Answer: LIBS!

Here is the column that Stein wrote regarding supporting the troops. Please understand, I DO disagree with him. But, I have been, am and will continue to be a strong supporter of the war. I tend to be a bit hawkish.

IF I did not support the War, Stein's article makes a lot of sense.

I DON’T SUPPORT our troops. This is a particularly difficult opinion to have, especially if you are the kind of person who likes to put bumper stickers on his car. Supporting the troops is a position that even Calvin is unwilling to urinate on.

I’m sure I’d like the troops. They seem gutsy, young and up for anything. If you’re wandering into a recruiter’s office and signing up for eight years of unknown danger, I want to hang with you in Vegas.

And I’ve got no problem with other people — the ones who were for the Iraq war — supporting the troops. If you think invading Iraq was a good idea, then by all means, support away. Load up on those patriotic magnets and bracelets and other trinkets the Chinese are making money off of.

But I’m not for the war. And being against the war and saying you support the troops is one of the wussiest positions the pacifists have ever taken — and they’re wussy by definition. It’s as if the one lesson they took away from Vietnam wasn’t to avoid foreign conflicts with no pressing national interest but to remember to throw a parade afterward. ...

I do sympathize with people who joined up to protect our country, especially after 9/11, and were tricked into fighting in Iraq. I get mad when I’m tricked into clicking on a pop-up ad, so I can only imagine how they feel. ...

I know this is all easy to say for a guy who grew up with money, did well in school and hasn’t so much as served on jury duty for his country. But it’s really not that easy to say because anyone remotely affiliated with the military could easily beat me up, and I’m listed in the phone book.

I’m not advocating that we spit on returning veterans like they did after the Vietnam War, but we shouldn’t be celebrating people for doing something we don’t think was a good idea. All I’m asking is that we give our returning soldiers what they need: hospitals, pensions, mental health and a safe, immediate return. But, please, no parades.

Seriously, the traffic is insufferable.

Stein is just tooooo cute for words. He is offensive - and a homophobe to boot when you deconstruct his stupid article.

Yeah, I remember when I realized I had heard nada about the "lovely and gracious Marta" in a long time. A short time thereafter Rush announced their divorce.

Sure hope that doesn't happen to Sean.

I think you're looking to find something. I don't see anything homophobic . . . or offensive. Plenty I disagree with, but nothing offensive.
