You know, I'm not going to name names, but there are a few freepers who seem to make a hobby of bashing certain conservative radio hosts. Specifically Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin. If there's a live thread about something happening on one of the shows, there they are. If another poster on an unrelated thread mentions one of their names in passing, there they are. And it's the same "bash" every single time. By now I can recite their posts from memory.
And despite their claims that they find the above-mentioned hosts so annoying and unsatisfactory, they sure seem to LISTEN to their shows a lot more than I do (and I'm a fan of all three). They know when there's a guest host, they know when the call screener leaves to go work for someone else, they know who was interviewed and have a long list of how the host "blew it", they know who calls in and is "treated rudely"---how on earth could they have such a litany of complaints unless they're by the radio every day HANGING ON EVERY WORD?? Why don't they listen to some friggin' music instead of constantly criticizing people who are on our side?
Hell, I wish *I* had the time to listen to Sean and Rush and Mark as much as their FR detractors apparently do. Especially Mark Levin. I love the guy but his show comes on at the least convenient time possible for me.

"Is he hawking his book again?!" or some variation of the sort...fact is, there are many BushBackers who don't believe any RightWinger has the right to question Dubyuh's judgement on any issue. Funny thing is, I don't believe Bush himself even believes that...I suspect he enjoys the company of folks who question his wisdom on this issue at that. That's how you hone your positions and make them stronger!!

Yep, I witnessed it just yesterday in a thread. And they get pretty defensive about it whenever anyone calls them on it, too. What cracks me up is what you mentioned, having nothing but scorn for Rush, Sean, or Levin yet spending the *hours* and *hours* many of them obviously do listening to every word they say. I wouldn't waste five minutes with a radio host I didn't like, but they can cite chapter and verse from practically every show ever aired. Odd, to say the least.

Count me in as a Hannity fan (as well as a Rush and Mark Levin/The Great One fan).
I've been really busy this week and missed Sean's show about "FReepers eating their own", and didn't get a good look at that pulled thread about Hannity. Can someone clue me in with the details of what Sean said on the air?
I have a hard time believing he is swearing off FR forever because of a few stupid comments directed at him...
