Ok Ellen, I see your point. But couldn’t it have been kind of beneficial to let him make more of a fool of himself? Just saying.

“I keep telling everybody, don’t rush to judgement” -sean hannity….
who has already decided that zimmermans account and the polices account is true and anybody who disagrees with hannity’s belief of the matter is obviously believing a lie.
the point of these shows is to out-do any other opinion with the general opinion of fox news. anybody who shows up is going to be depicted as wrong from the start because these guys view news as a SPORT and not as a REPORT. it is a game of hockey where fox news goal is to win and they will brawl if they have to and use all dirty tricks for the other side to lose. Fox news makes news into a sport.

the media is disputing what happened in the treyvon case. The FACT is, that a 17 year old kid is DEAD, and some older guy (i honestly don’t know how old he is) killed this kid, and he continues to live as if it never happened. and the cops seem to have essentially told him to “fa’get about it” and that’s that.

but treyvon is DEAD and cannot defend himself, and they are siding with zimmerman’s account, who is still alive and well with no injuries. (if martin beat him so violently and zimmerman felt threatened, then where are the hospital records that conclude zimmerman was badly injured?)

plus i would think that somebody who had killed somebody might feel some remorse. I mean I would feel horrible if i ended somebody’s life, even if i felt threatened by them…even if they tried to kill me. zimmerman felt no remorse. kill or be killed is the only situation i would use deadly force…

if i had a gun. which I do not. and trevon did NOT have a gun. but was killed by a gun. here is a fact….humans want to stay alive and they will FIGHT to stay alive if they have to. if somebody pulls a gun on me and i feel i might be shot dead, of course, i’m going to try all i can to defend myself; to keep myself from being shot dead.

So if there was a fight, it had to be because zimmerman had the bigger guns. you know the old saying, “don’t bring a bag of skittles to a gun fight.”

Just saying treyvon MAY have had a chance to fight back, and if he did, there is no evidence that he was in any way successful in his attempt to protect what he held most sacred…his life. and zimmerman shot him.

and zimmerman walks free and may or may not regret that. but he should may or may not regret that behind bars.

Treyvon is innocent!!!!! yet they make him the guilty one and they try to make zimmerman a saint….

I think it is all because they feel threatened that “liberals” might be using this example to go after the “stand your ground law” (passed in FL and trying to be passed in many other states) that is lobbied by the NRA who buys republicons. CONS CONS CONS.

this is not our country this is not our world. we are the pacifist aggressors instigating decline of human decency and human compassion and they want to destroy that for the good of wealth.

Nobody here is defending Lee’s behavior. But once the damage was done, I’d say he did whatever he could to make amends. As I noted in my post, the McLains, the people he actually damaged, forgave him. What more could a guy do? And what more would you want him to do? I’m sure we’ve all made very stupid mistakes and all we can do is our best to make up for them.

That said, I have no idea whether Spike Lee is a good guy or a bad guy. But the point is that for Hannity to use the Trayvon Martin case to use Spike Lee to attack Obama says far more about Hannity than anyone else, IMO.

Colin, Josh was not commenting on anything related to the topic of the thread and he was pretty obviously (to me, anyway) just trying to bait and criticize my ethics. I warned him to behave respectfully and then he took a gratuitous swipe at me again. That tells me all he wanted to do here was make trouble. Plus, I’ve had some other contact with him that was similar.

Typical troll behavior is to try to distract and derail a thread, often by “just asking” questions that just so happen to denigrate and have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

No one’s endorsing what Spike Lee did; likewise, no one’s endorsing the copycat stunt where Roseanne Barr did the same thing with the CORRECT address…

What? Fox News isn’t talking about her stunt? Gee, I wonder why…

Rocky Lore:

He only apologized and compensated the couple when he was threatened with a lawsuit

Oh,you mean like your Big Poppa Bill O’reilly did with Andrea Makris?

The masses demands High End Hannocchio do his waterboarding for our troops. It’s been months since this Franklin Square street hustler promised to raise money for our troops.

President Obama don’t give a rats’ azz what this thin-skinned, paranoid, third-rate mouthpiece says.

NOTE TO HANNITY

We demand a waterboard for the troops.

KKKlannity is just a lot of gas spewing out of a bodily orifice.

Since when is Spike Lee the victim? It was Spike Lee, not Sean Hannity, who caused an elderly couple to receive death threats. It was Spike Lee, not Sean Hannity, who forced that couple to flee their home because he publicly posted their address. He only apologized and compensated the couple when he was threatened with a lawsuit. Of course, the one solution is to blame everyone else but the person responsible, and if that means blaming Sean Hannity, then that’s what the party of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will do.

Colin, I applaud Ellen for banning Josh, and yet, still letting his OFF TOPIC comments stay so that we can see why the dumbass was banned. Obviously, he wasn’t here to discuss the topic of the thread. He was only here to accuse, lie and take a daily crap like all trolls do. Josh shows us how stupid trolls are.

And on topic. kkklannity is too stupid to realize that President Obama is just not into him. kkklannity needs to realize that his bromance with Obama isn’t going anywhere. Obama has no interest in him and doesn’t care what he has to say. Good grief, kkklannity needs to get a clue already!

What the hell was spike lee thinking? He could’ve gotten someone killed! Disappointing

Um Ellen, I know this Josh guy is an idiot that doesn’t hear a word you say, but is banning him from the site him really necessary? Wasn’t this a forum in which to express our opinions, in some respects? I apologize if I’m missing something though, considering I’ve only been a member of this site for a short time.

Three quick points.

KKKlownnity – demand Mitt Romney rejects and denounces the other sack of sht, your good pal, birfher Donald Trump.

Same for Jerome Corsi.

Demand another of your vicious, gun totting “great ’murkans” Ted Nugent apologize for his vile comments.

I know there are more instances but I’ll be fine with my first example.

Like it is ever going to happen.

Werent there some questions about just how much money Seannie was raking off the top from those charity Freedom Concerts he used to run?

I mixed what I was gonna say with my post to him. Fox News should set an example and refund the money to the advertisers they lied to wrangling those deals.

It’s only fair.

Josh is leaving now. Please, let’s get back to topic.

You mean the auto-generated ads that she can’t control because they’re tied to buzzwords by the Alexa ratings system, Josh? It generates it’s ads off words used on this site, and Ellen has no conrol over it. She can’t even pick and choose who she accepts money from because that violates her terms of service with the provider. Get it?

Oh, and here’s a quick FYI for you:

Earlier this month, Fox News lied about their rapidly declining ratings to advertisers (-17% since March 1st!) to wrangle deals that will last until November 13th. They also haven’t made good on their deals to clean up the rhetoric on certain topics.

They obtained a contract lying about their stability, and they’re failing to deliver on one of the conditions. Why aren’t they setting an example by giving back their money? After all, they’re so hot for everyone else to give back thiers… except for Rush Limbaugh, of course.

Do you return the revenue generated by the ads that represent the polar opposite of what you express on this site?

Josh: get a freakin clue.

Ads are generated by an adserver. Newshounds doesn’t control that.

Secondly,no one cares about Limbaugh,but his followers. He’d be almost gone from any sphere of influence except for his moronic ‘Dittoheads’.

Limbaugh and Maher aren’t equatable. Neither are the two people they were talking about. Red-state morons need to stop throwing up false equivalences to excuse Limbaughs horrendous behavior. The only thing that’s equal about the two,is both of them are dicks.

Josh, if you knew anything about me or the blog, you’d know that a) I do not support a Rush Limbaugh boycott and b) the ads are placed on the page automatically, based on content. Because we write about conservatives and conservative issues and Obama, conservative ads frequently appear. While I can block an individual ad, it’s impossible to know in advance what ad will appear – and they are always changing, often depending on where a reader is logging in from.

Now, I get your animosity toward me. If you can’t or won’t debate with respect, you will be banned and without any further warning.
