The Hannity show covered the violence in Ukraine by – how else? – using it to smear President Obama. That’s not too surprising. But then Sean Hannity took it a few steps further and suggested that Obama is to blame for violence in Syria, Venezuela and elsewhere, too.
At the beginning of the discussion, Hannity “asked” if Obama’s foreign policy is "responsible for fueling unrest at Ukraine, Syria, Venezuela, beyond?”
On hand was Hannity’s lying pal, Oliver North. Sure enough, North thought so. North said:
Putin has been handed this by what is essentially Jimmy Carter on steroids. If you could have imagined that someone is happy that Obama is president, it has to be Jimmy Carter because he’s no longer the worst president in our history.
I’m also going to record Hannity’s phony-baloney response to Juan Williams who tried to argue the other side. As Williams said that the U.S. has been trying to end wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hannity interrupted to sneer, “Oh, blame Bush, blame Bush, blame Bush. It’s like a broken record. It’s year six of (Obama’s) presidency, Juan.”
Well, let’s just take a walk down Hannity’s "blame Clinton" memory lane. Hannity was blaming Clinton long past year six of George W. Bush’s term. As I wrote in August, 2010:
As recently as May, 2010, Hannity was blaming Clinton for 9/11;
In 2006, Hannity tried to make the Mark Foley scandal about Bill Clinton.
In 2008, Hannity even tried to blame Clinton for the health problems of our troops in Iraq!
In fact, Hannity so fixated on the Clintons, that former co-host Alan Colmes once quipped, “Enough already with the Clintons! ...You can’t even say hello… I’m gonna say ‘How’s the weather?’ You’ll say, ‘The Clintons.’”
Can there be any doubt that if our next president is a Republican Hannity will blame everything on Obama? If so, I hope you’ll be in a position to remind him of his newfound statute of limitations on blaming presidents.
She just wrote a piece in which she laments the fact that they cut out scenes with Satan because “someone made a comment that the actor who played the devil vaguely resembled our president, and suddenly the media went nuts.”

So there’s a black devil in the White House! Hell (no pun intended), everyone who watches the slimeballs on FNC already knows that.
Anyway, here’s that short trailer I found:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WcIXCok9HPg
Obviously no way to judge the accuracy from this, but the look and style was more than enough to turn me off.
For those of you who don’t know the name… Do you remember that History Channel miniseries on the Bible that was so inaccurate and whitewashed that religious scholars condemned it as borderline blasphemy? Yeah, Lightworkers did that, too.
For my money, if I see any of the bible story movies coming out, I’ll go see “Noah” -That one looks decent, and isn’t sanitizing the era to the point of gag.
I wasn’t really aware of this film, but I just watched the trailer and the fact, IMO, that Jesus there looks so NON-Semitic should warm Slanthead’s heart!
Maybe he’ll gush over this the way he did “Passion…” and his idol, Mel Gibson (whom he defended against all criticism ("Don’t pay attention to Frank Rich, he’s one of ‘those’ people!).
“Jam packed” is often the first words out of Hannity’s mouth on his failing radio show. But ever Jan 1 (when he lost his better stations), more of those three hours are filled with trivial drivel, usually with his producer Linda on air much of the time.
\
Hannity’s doing his entire hour Friday evening on — wait for it — the movie “Son of God.” With one of his pretend “studio audiences,” of course.
One of the show’s tics I find very amusing is the proclamation at the top of every single show that it’s “Jam-packed.” Sure.
He’s probably crying in his Mickey D double cheeseburger, French fries, and large soda, or in his New England clam chowder, medium-done rib-eye steak and buttered potatoes at Prime – An American Kitchen and Bar in Huntington Harbor.
If the Fox “News” suits were smart, they let his contract expire, and replace him with a younger host who can double the ratings, like Legs Ailes.
We don’t think old man Ruthless Rupy can make it up those stairs, and down.
Some more (OT) real estate news:
John Boehner will be Hannity’s neighbor in Florida:

Marco Island is just a few klicks down the Gulf Coast from Slanthead’s condo at the Moraya Bay in Naples. But with the way Slanthead has been trashing the speaker lately, don’t hold your breath waiting for an invite to a beach picnic (besides, Hannity’s probably serving take out from Mickey D’s).
Maybe this will clinch Slanthead’s decision to make his permanent move to Texas — just in time for that state to seceed!
Meanwhile, Rupe has just shelled out big bucks for a condo in Manhattan:

Can Slanthead expect an invitation soon? Will Murdoch serve Big Macs?
This aging media hack thought he was invincible, and thought he could crush Savage in the same time slot…wrong! Reality has set in, and it’s driving this Long Island Lolito crazy. Well…he is already crazy.
Savage is destroying Hannocchio at every major market. That is NOT good news in the radio industry. Soon, his affiliates will drop off knocking him to #3 or #4 spots. That would drive him off the cliff.
Joe, Savage has dirt on Hannocchio, and we hear it’s a whopper.
The article below explains the dust up between Hannocchio and Cumulus Media.
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/hannitys-had-it-host-will-ditch-cumulus-compete-against-replacement/
Of course, we know Hannocchio can’t take rejection, or criticism very well, so he publicly smears Dickey. Today, Dickey is having the last laugh.
Hannocchio’s dark side is the real reason people are turned off by him. He’s conniving, vindictive, demanding, and a two-face fraud. Some conservative talkers can’t stand the clown, and talk about him in private, and in public. The GOP establishment has distance themselves from him as well.
Hannocchio’s broadcasting career is in trouble, and he knows it. The clown is old, and he fears being replaced by a younger host-which will happen anyway because he has no control over the suits’ decision.
The old guy is desperately trying to salvage his declining career by doing more personal appearances in public, in films, and television shows.
The Stop Hannity Express says Hannocchio has a new faith-based film coming out this June, “A Long Way Off”, which he plays himself. He also is eyeing more television and film roles down the road. If his broadcasting career tumbles there is the entertainment industry, except the clown can’t act. He’s should stick to construction which is the only thing he’s good at.
NOTE TO HANNITY
Genius, you should be more concerned about your declining ratings-and broadcasting career-than President Obama.
1. Are you going to blame Obama on your declining ratings?
2. How about your children’s lackluster performance in tennis tournaments? Is that Obama’s fault?
3. The Fox “News” suits moved you to a later time slot. That must be Obama’s fault.
4. The GOP has written you off. That has to be Obama’s fault.
5. Savage beats you in every major market. Blame that Obama, too.
6. You have on-going, deep personal issues. That’s your parents’ fault.

Then again… no one commented on my comment the other day about Slanthead significantly loosing radio audience share to Savage.
Tomorrow: Rush Limpballs claims President Obama is “an incompetent man-child”
.
And I was going to ask him how Obama could be responsible for the violence (as he’d commented on the “deaths” caused by Maduro) when the Venezuelan gov’t ordered several US embassy workers to leave the country for “fomenting” the very opposition forces that Maduro’s people have allegedly killed. (However, I would like to know how Hannity and that criminal Ollie North would explain that little contradictory fact.)
However, would you care to comment on THIS story for half a second?
And might I ask, Carlos, where you were when the ~300 Venezuelans died during the Caracazo riots in 1989 during Carlos Perez’s time? The man ran for the Presidency of Venezuela on a pack of lies, promising to continue the reforms of his left-leaning predecessor and turning around and implementing IMF “reforms” (Perez had compared the IMF to a neutron bomb and called the World Bank “genocide workers”). Perez suspended a number of Constitutional guarantees (including the right to individual liberty, the inviolability of the home, freedom of speech, freedom of public assembly and the right to peaceful protest). The whole problem with Venezuela right now lies in right-wingers who are dissatisfied with being forced to be treated as no better than the rest of the public (you know—the “peons”). Maduro was DULY elected by the Venezuelan people and invested as President by the Asamblea Nacional (Venezuela’s Congress) and his election was upheld by the Venezuelan Supreme Court but that’s not enough for Venezuela’s right-wingers.
As to Ukraine, far from something that Obama gave Putin, it’s PUTIN who’s behind the current problems. Ukraine’s leader unexpectedly pulled out of talks with the EU to join—pressured, in no small part, by Putin who does NOT want any EU interference in what Tsar wannabe Putin considers his sphere of influence (the EU already includes the Baltic states which has to piss off Putin to no end, but Putin will not abide either Belarus or Ukraine to fall under “western” influence that he doesn’t permit).
Now, go back to whatever troll site sent you here and get your new instructions.
(Incidentally, the “thank you for your comment” is a nicety, something you wouldn’t understand if your life depended on it. I’m sure—especially in your case—if the comments were able to be read during the “saving” and “posting” process, the site would tell you what you could REALLY do with your comments.)
