Hannity And Allen West Salivate: Syria A Good Reason To Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran

Sean Hannity may have weaseled out of his pledge to undergo waterboarding for charity, but that doesn’t mean he can’t talk tough about going to war with Iran instead of "merely" bombing Syria - when other people will be feeling the pain.

Tonight, in a stomach-churning discussion about military strikes against Syria, Hannity argued that rather than a limited attack on Syria, we should go all out and attack Iran. You may recall that chickenhawk Hannity has long been salivating for war against Iran – with other people doing the fighting and dying – for many years.

First, Hannity agreed with guest Juan Williams that Syria is really a proxy for Iran. Hannity reiterated an old lie, that Iran wants to “wipe Israel off the map.” Considering that Hannity has a history of palling around with anti-Semites, his concern for Jews was less than convincing. Nevertheless, he declared with melodramatic sanctimony:

Their ideology is - they are the modern day Nazis. They want a modern-day Holocaust. So if you agree with me that they are the proxy here, wouldn’t it make sense that if we really wanted to have an impact, rather than lob a few cruise missiles in to Syria, which I don’t think would be very effective, based on days, not weeks, and no boots on the ground, why don’t we do what we should do and that’s take out Iran’s nuclear sites?”

Williams replied, “Well, that’s a provocative act against someone who has not attacked us, not attacked any of our allies or threatened our national interest, Sean.”

That was no biggie to Hannity! He turned to his other guest, the deranged Allen West: “Colonel, if people are outraged (at Syria) …If you take the sick, twisted ideology of Iran and you marry it to a nuclear weapon, I have zero doubt they’d use it. So that seems to me to be the bigger issue that we really need to focus on.”

West agreed. He said, “Well, that’s the whole point. …Iran is really the center, the nerve center and sometimes you have to go after the head and I think that if you want to do the right thing strategically, you maybe want to focus against Iran so that you don’t give them the initiative.”

Later, as Williams said that attacking Iran would bring on “big time World War III action,” West replied, “We will probably start a WWIII if we go in just with cruise missiles.”

Hannocchio the RINO knows a thing or two about bombs. What was the name of that forgettable film he was in last year?

Hannocchio is in no position to talk about military strategies, given his lack of military experience. He would think a “hop” was from a bunny. If Hannocchio did sign up for the military, he would not make it past the written tests.

Jockey West is a insult to the military. How he was able to rise from the ranks with his mindset is baffling. Jockey belongs on Hannocchio’s manicured lawn, if he gets our drift.

Hannocchio is a brand: God, country, guns, pro-military, pro-family, pro-life, apple pie, etc. This image markets to a segment of the population. Other hosts do it too. They brand themselves for career purposes only. Their private lives are opposite of their public image.

Broadcasting secret: Consultants are hired to create an image/brand for their clients in radio and television.

NOTE TO JOE MARSH

Two former employees at WABC radio have proof of Hannocchio’s friendship with Turner. They also saw Turner at the studio with his kid.

The saying goes, “you are who you hang out with.” Racists hang out with other racists.

@visitor 55. Absolutely correct. This is all so typical for Fux Noise…KKKlannity in particular…and Repugs…teabaggers in particular. Whatever our President proposes, they are adamantly opposed to it. Even if it is something that they were screeching for just weeks earlier.

@ Joe Marsh After reading your post, I can’t help but think of this parody of the late Dean Martin’s signature hit “That’s Amore” — it’s called “That’s a Moron” — it certainly fits Sean KKKlannity to a T:

When you spew right wing views,
And your friends all hate Jews,
That’s a Moron,
When you lie with such glee,
With an IQ of three,
That’s a Moron,
Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling, ting-a-ling-a-ling,
And your friends will salivate,
Hearts will play tippy-tippy-tay, tippy-tippy-tay,
Don’t peddling hate pay so great,
When the spin makes you croak,
Like a nutzoid on coke,
That’s a Moron,
When you bitch and you moan like a paranoid clone,
You’re insane,
When you rally your troops with your big piles of poop
Jesus weeps,
‘Scuse-a-me, can’t you see, here in reality,
That’s a Moron, that’s a moron, that’s a moron!

:^)

I didn’t realize that Sarah Palin had registered with NewsHounds under the name “Shein Areily.” Either I’m reading “Shein’s” comment relatively late and I’m more tired than I thought, or that is the biggest batch of word salad since Palin’s last public speech.

Nope. After rereading it, it’s word salad.

Ellen, IMO, Slanthead has never been concerned about Jews. Yes, over the years, he’s been one of the more vocal supporters of Israel, constantly egging on all-out attacks on Iran and other Muslim states. This is because he believes — like most of the Christian right — that the resulting conflagration will quickly bring on the end times they want so badly.

More disturbing to me than Hannity’s anti-Semitic pals, his coziness with them and his efforts to rehab them (e.g., Gibson), is his own subtle brand of antisemitism, with the little “little” jokes and digs over the years of his sordid broadcast career.

Slanthead is far removed from the loud-mouthed Jew bashers of yesteryear (and even some today that we encounter online, in forums like this, etc.). And that’s what’s so worrisome; the loud-mouthed ignorant, idiots can be ignored, Hannity is the real danger.

And BTW, did anyone hear him (on teevee or the radio) wish his Jewish “friends” a happy and healthy new year? I didn’t. In fact, I never have (but of course I don’t tune in all the time, less and less these days). By comparison, he never forgets St. Patrick’s Day.

It’s just not fair when nobody wants to go into another perfectly good war. Only foreigners will get hurt, and a few brave soldiers. And we need the money for the industrial complex to thrive. That’s what’s really important.

""The west has no stomach for a long fight. The only western power still capable to resist Islamism is the USA""
Quote form Sheik Abu Bakar book": “Government in the wilderness”", one of modern Islamism core stones.

Islamist Iran is testing in Syria the world determination to confront and prevent the use of mass destruction weapons by a terror sponsoring country.

Islamist Iran ideology:

Will Russia ever learn that experience is a great teacher?

Ahead of WW2 German army has been trained and rearmed in USSR .
USSR has coordinated with Nazi Germany slitting Poland.
Despite USSR help Nazi Germany attack USSR..
Russia should know that:
Helping doctrines wishing to destroy your culture have never stopped that to try to implement it latter:
(Russia remember that Islamism is your ideological enemy as well

I find it interesting that Hannity took time to interview a congressman insisting that his constituents were 95 to 1 opposed to military action in this case. It’s not that I believe we should be throwing bombs at anyone – it’s that I find it interesting that Fox News suddenly cares what congresspeople’s constituents think about the issues.

Because in 2003, there were giant protests about our imminent attack on Iraq, and I was hearing that the sentiment was running anywhere from 10-1 to 100-1 AGAINST that invasion in correspondence and calls to Congress. Fox News called the protests treasonous and happily laughed when Bush referred to the protestors as a “focus group”.

So once again we have the scenario of Fox News opposing an action because it is what President Obama is doing, regardless of whether it is consistent with any actual principle or practice.

Fortunately, neither of these guys has any sway with our Commander-in-Chief. Let's hope they never get it with any of his successors.
