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.

It is the libs who play the gay card - like Al Gore's telling Jesse Jerkson to spread the rumor that Ralph Nader was gay. I could not care less what kind of "dating service" Hannity has on his website. Apparently, Little Mr. Stein is fixated on it.

He also labeled those pursuing the story as hypocrites.

As opposed to someone who is purpotedly a social conservative that decries gay relationships making money by offering gay referrals on his website?

Lol! I've often wondered, if you ask someone if they are gay, is it a queery?

Let's be honest here. While not exclusive, it is obvious that the vast majority of Republicans (as well as the majority of Sean Hannity listeners) do not support the expansion of homosexual benefits. I fall into both categories and do not support the expansion. Of course it would seem surprising that Hannity show would include the "male seeking male" option on the dating site. I don't have a problem with that, but it does sort of jump out and made for an interesting humor column.

>>He stated it was a no-win situation because he'd get criticized if he allowed homosexuals on the site or if he didn't. Apparently, alienating a good portion of his audience was less of a concern than homosexual activists and PC-types.

He also labeled those pursuing the story as hypocrites.<<


Interesting - I would have bet on him using canned software instead of making a choice to do it that way.

I doubt he spent much effort on the service and uses it as a novelty to draw in visitors/listeners. It is caveatted with disclaimers. And if he decided to disable the homo mode, I'm sure the ACLU, etc. would be jumping all over it. I'm sure the outsourced service does cull through the posts to keep it from getting too outrageous. After all it is a relationship site not a sex site.


I am not impressed with this excuse. That is the same as Walmart does with having a homosexual site on their online website and people were jumping up and down on Walmart. If Sean needs to attract that many listners or callers than he should at least practice what he preaches. This is not good IMHO.

And neither of us likes Hannity. Not that that matters.

That makes three.

I had no idea Hannity's soft on stool-stuffers.

I don't think Vanity belongs to the Fudge Packers Union.

Somebody shoved a mirror up Hannity's rear years ago and he's been admiring the view ever since...

lol

He's a sanctimonious, self-induldent airhead who is about the worst interviewer in the business. And ........ his nasally, grating voice and demeanor makes me want to barf.

It's more proof to me that Hannity's not real bright.

I feel like he's become the personification of a bad gameshow.

Ditto.
