Hannity Demands Obama Return Spike Lee Money Over Trayvon Tweet

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on March 30, 2012 · Flag

Apparently, Sean Hannity thinks he’s the campaign-donor police for President Obama. We’re still hearing shrieks on the show that Obama should return the campaign donation from Bill Maher (for having spoken misogynistically about Sarah Palin). Now, Hannity is demanding Obama return Spike Lee’s money for having tweeted to his thousands of followers what he thought was the address of Trayvon-shooter George Zimmerman.

I agree what Spike Lee did was wrong. Very wrong. But he has apologized to the family whose address he tweeted and he has compensated them to their satisfaction. He has also since tweeted, “I Deeply Apologize To The McClain Family For Retweeting Their Address. It Was A Mistake.Please Leave The McClain’s In Peace. Justice In Court.” Furthermore, the McClain family – the ones who were wronged – seem to have fully forgiven him. After a personal phone call from Lee, the Washington Post reported:

“He was really kind,” Elaine McClain said. “And when he called us, you could just tell he really felt bad about it. And it was just a slip, and I just know that he really, really has been concerned.”

But Hannity has shown no such charity. Instead, he’s playing the victim by demanding that President Obama return Lee’s donation.

It didn’t work with Maher, I see no reason why it will or should work with Lee.

But speaking of questionable relationships, doesn't Hannity owe an explanation as to why he continues to sit on the advisory board of a charity run by the slavery-loving, woman-hating Jesse Lee Peterson?

A few quotes from Peterson, via the above links:

“I’ve often said that, ‘Thank God for slavery,’ because, you know, had not, then the blacks over here would have been stuck in Africa… The ride over (in a slave ship) was pretty tough but you know, it’s like riding on a crowded airplane when you’re not in First Class. It’s a tough ride. But you’re happy when you get to your desitination.”

“Women’s rights are “a trick from Satan.”

“One of the greatest mistakes that America made was to allow women the opportunity to vote.”

“(N)ot all, but most (women) turned into little whores.”

Oh, and Peterson had a few choice words about the Trayvon Martin case, too:

"I’ve said for the last 22 years that most black Americans are brainwashed. The recent actions of these black leaders and their followers are not about justice—it’s about getting even with whites and gaining political power. This is black hatred of white people and a result of more than fifty years of brainwashing by racist civil-rights leaders."

So if President Obama should return Spike Lee’s money, should Hannity resign from the advisory board of Lee’s charity?

You can contact Hannity at [email protected] or tweet him @SeanHannity.

I’ll have more on this segment coming up in another post.

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…

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.

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?
Ellen commented 2012-03-30 01:21:45 -0400 · Flag
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.

Here’s one more thing to validate your (Ellen) hypocricy. You are displaying an “Overturn Obamacare” ad on the second page of your blog. I guess money is more important than anything else, huh?

Tell you what, Seannie Poo:

President Obama will gladly return Lee’s donation — right after you follow through on that promise to get waterboarded . . .

“We’re still hearing shrieks on the show that Obama should return the campaign donation from Bill Maher (for having spoken misogynistically about Sarah Palin).”

You certainly aren’t as cavalier about Limbaugh’s comments. Hypocrite much?
