Hannity Crowd Cheers As Neal Boortz Calls Obama “A Bigger Disaster To This Country Than 9/11”
Once again, Special GOP Victim Sean Hannity – so upset over harsh rhetoric coming from the left – proved himself a complete and utter hypocrite. And a purveyor of hate worse than anything he’s ever complained about from the other side. The latest case in point was the special 15th anniversary Hannity show last night (10/6/11) in which Hannity hosted his old hate-mongering pal Neal Boortz (but excluded his 12-year co-host, Alan Colmes). Boortz “celebrated” by telling Hannity and the live audience that President Obama is “a bigger disaster to this country than 9/11.” The audience cheered the pronouncement. And Hannity? He had no complaints. Neither did the other guest, that uber-patriot Oliver North.

Hannity Exploits Paul Krugman As An Excuse To Spew His Own Hatred For Americans
As we’ve repeatedly posted, Fox News has used Paul Krugman’s recent blog post about the exploitation of 9/11 as little more than an excuse to attack Krugman and the usual liberal, Democratic targets. But Sean Hannity took the phony-patriot hypocrisy to new heights last night as he simultaneously blasted Krugman and then proved his own hatred for Americans seconds later.

Fox And Friends Are No Friends To Paul Krugman
It was another hefty helping of hypocrisy on Fox & Friends Monday morning when The Three Stooges went after Paul Krugman for his NYT’s opinion piece on the anniversary of Nine Eleven. While it was a predictable show of outrage, where was the rank hypocrisy? On two points, actually. As Priscilla pointed out in “Megyn Kelly Advances Right Wing Attack On Paul Krugman” there are many topics on which Fox and Friends believes no one should have an opinion unless it gibes with their opinion. “But don't ya love how the Constitution loving right wing loves the First Amendment? Gretchen Carlson says that it shouldn't apply on December 25th. And now, the Fox News First Amendment free zone has been extended to September 11th.” However, the Stooges seemed more concerned about the fact that Krugman wouldn’t allow comments on his column. Yet Fox News Dot Com and Fox Nation are forced to close comments threads constantly because of the hate generated by the Fox “News” audience. As Ellen pointed out, the most recent example of which was on the thread called “9/11, Ten Years Later: Share Your Thoughts and Memories,” which specifically asked for comments in the headline. OOPS! I guess that comment thread got a bit too heated.

Bill O’Reilly joined the Fox News pile on against Paul Krugman Monday night (9/12/11) from his hypocritical high horse where he pretended Fox News would never allow the kind of America bashing Krugman’s publisher, The New York Times, did. Well, I guess if you don’t count Fox’s daily attacks on liberals – who, last I checked, were still part of America – O’Reilly might have a point.

Too Much Patriotic Fervor On Fox Nation's 9/11 Anniversary Thread?
Co-authored by Vermont Dave
There must have been a heck of a lot of love in Fox Nation today. In a post called, 9/11, Ten Years Later: Share Your Thoughts and Memories, the comments are now closed. Yes, a post specifically asking for readers' comments has now specifically rejected them. We can just imagine what kind of comments were received before the moderators decided to shut it down. Were the readers talking about assassinating President Obama? Taking up arms against the New York Times and Democrats? Or just wishing for deaths of Muslims?
