Hannity Blames ISIS Execution Of Jordanian Pilot On Obama Not Saying ‘Radical Islamic Terrorism’

To Sean Hannity, the unimaginably brutal execution of Jordanian pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh – burned to death by ISIS – was all because of President Obama’s semantics. Or at least that’s what Hannity argued last night.

Hannity used to insist that criticizing our president during a time of war emboldened our enemies and undermined our troops. If he believes his own rhetoric, Hannity was doing a whole lot of emboldening and undermining last night.

But Hannity’s anti-Obama hysteria may have come to a head during his interview with Democrat Bill Richardson, a former ambassador to the U.N.

Richardson tried to tell Hannity that ISIS had made a “major miscalculation” in burning al-Kasasbeh to death because, “They’ve turned Jordan into a huge tiger.”

However, Hannity was so obsessed with using the tragedy to smear Obama, he could not have cared less about what the repercussions of the execution might be.

Richardson told Hannity, “What they have done with this execution of this young pilot is they have enraged the tribes in the surrounding area, the religious imams because the Jordanian, the Hashemite kingdom, is related to the prophet Mohammed. And what I think is gonna happen with Jordan is a huge, huge military effort. They’re gonna need more F16s…"

Hannity interrupted to make it about Obama and those magic words that Fox wants us to think keep us safe. “Governor, the president won’t even admit that the Islamic state is Islamic. He won’t say the words ‘radical Islam,’” Hannity complained. “Don’t you think this president needs to finally step up and recognize the simple truth that radical Islam is an enemy of western civilization and the United States? Doesn’t he need to say those words?”

“Well, I think we need more than words,” Richardson said.

“Say it! That’s a good start!” Hannity insisted.

Richardson continued to explain what he thinks should be done to combat ISIS.

RICHARDSON: We need a U.S.-led effort, a coalition effort. There’s over 60 countries. This is going to explode into more countries. Those countries like Jordan, like Saudi Arabia, like Turkey. I think you’re gonna get motivated now. Muslims have been killed. This hasn’t happened before in such a brutal fashion. I think you’re going to see a new dynamic. And the United States, I believe, is leading. There’s over 60 countries that are part of this coalition.

Richardson kept speaking calmly as Hannity continued to rant against Obama. Finally, Hannity acknowledged that he agreed with Richardson on some of his proposals. But he was still all about those magical words!

HANNITY: But the president needs to lead. He’s sat back and allowed this to happen because he’s afraid to say “radical Islamic terrorism.” …He seems paralyzed by Islam and radical Islamists. Afraid to say it!”

As he ended the discussion Hannity got in one more dig that he’d surely spend months attacking any Democrat who said such a thing about a Republican president: “It’s sad when the king of Jordan and the general running Egypt, al-Sisi, seem more courageous than our president. That’s not good,” Hannity said. This from the guy who chickened out of a promise to undergo waterboarding for charity, which he called "dunking."

Hannity closed the segment before Richardson could reply.

But Hannity might be slipping. He seems to have forgotten all about Benghazi!

Watch it below, from last night’s Hannity.

Thanks, Richard.

Ellen, no the former ambassador was on his radio program. I often wonder why anyone would appear on Hannity’s programs. Even guests who support his warped views often find themselves being told by Hannity what to think and say.

Richard Peterson, was the ambassador on the TV show? I missed some of the show last night, I think.

Jane S, I’m not a huge Richardson fan either but I think Richardson he usually does a pretty good job on Fox. I think it’s because he seems pretty pushy.

They should have cast Hannocchio as the lead character in “50 Shades of Grey”, Scooter. There’s your clue.

Please forgive my spelling (typo) errors in my previous post. Just discussing Hannity makes my brain and typing fingers go numb. It should say the guest’s (not guests) comments, the ambassador had lived (not loved) among those who practiced Islam, and Hannity was telling (not tewlling) the ambassador. And Hannity is still a colossal (not collosal) jerk – always will be.

Hannity is a worthless pig, and he doesn’t understand anything that he yells on and on about. Yesterday, he had a former ambassador to Jordan on. He just knew he could get this guy to pile on insults against President Obama. But the guy wouldn’t cooperate. Hannity would interpret the guests comments in the only way that would support his hate filled rhetoric. But the guest kept coming back saying that Hannity wasn’t understanding his statements. Then Hannity launched into the horrors of the Koran. He started out by saying he had studied the Koran fully and that it was full of death and destruction against Christians and Jews and infidels, etc. The former ambassador said that he had studied the Koran and had loved for years among those who practiced Islam. He then told Hannity that he was making up his own interpretations of the Koran, as many of the current crop of terrorists do. hannity was furious and went on and on tewlling the ambassador that he know more than the ambassador about the Koran and the hated Muslims.

What a collosal jerk!

Sean, can you please remind us again the time you called the married Tea Party couple who in Las Vegas last June launched a politically motivated attack with the words “Tell the police the revolution has begun”, and then the cowards shot the two police officers in the back of their heads while they were eating lunch as radical Tea Party terrorism? After which they covered one of the bodies with the Gadsden flag. (The Don’t Tread On Me snake, Tea Party flag)?

In fact I don’t think you mentioned it at all. You could have at least used the term, lone wolves who had a history of mental disorders. You know, the way white gun loving folks are described when committing these types of violence.

I hope and pray that someday Hannity receives his due. It will be ugly, but I will not have sympathy for him. He deserves every bit of misfortune that comes his way. He & Coulter should get married. Then they could be the world’s poster children for hate.

Is Bill going to run for VP with Hillary, what a winning comb.

Stage Actor Hannocchio is bitter that President Obama refused to sit down for an interview with him. That’s the problem.

This twisted cafeteria Catholic is vindictive, cold and evil. Hugh’s Omen son finds anything negative that would stick to Obama. That’s his nature.

Hannocchio is not innocent. He’s done things in his life that would never be forgiven, and he knows exactly what he’s done.

This short-tempered, aging man has three fears in life: 1. His hidden secrets become public knowledge 2. Losing his broadcasting career. 3. Merri Jill leaves his sorry azz. He would pass out cold on the floor.

His past habits have fried his brain.

Hannity’s obvious intent throughout this segment and others was to call President Obama a coward, something he would have violently attacked had anyone said that kind of thing about George W. Bush. He made a point of repeatedly inserting the claim that the President is “too scared” to use the terminology that Hannity wants to hear. The fact that Bill Richardson didn’t want to entertain that kind of nonsense just seemed to set Hannity farther off. This was frankly a strange segment to watch.

Richardson, of whom I am notnotnot a big fan, has been doing an increasingly good job on Fox. He knows Hannity’s tricks now and just ignores them instead of getting into an argument on Hannity’s deranged turf, he just keeps calmly talking sense. Good for him.

truman: KKKlannity, Hannity, Sanity not.
Hex him and vex him; respect him naught.
truman commented 2015-02-04 23:37:31 -0500 · Flag
What are the magic words we need to say to make KKKlannity disappear?
Steve Newton commented 2015-02-04 22:29:32 -0500 · Flag
Obviously, Hannity believes that there are magic words.“radical Islamic terrorism = abracadabra.

Yes, if only Obama had said those three magical words, ISIS would have turned and fled!
