Hannity: The Go-To Show For Race-Baiting Against African Americans
Recently, Ann Coulter made a lot of waves when she announced on the Hannity show that “Our blacks are so much better than their blacks.” Did host Sean Hannity object? Heck, no. In fact, he implicitly endorsed the sentiment with his accepting response. Sadly, this is just the latest example of race baiting on Hannity. In several other instances, guests have accused the majority of African Americans of being racists – without receiving so much as a question in the way of a challenge. In fact, in one instance where a guest accused “most blacks” in Tennessee of being racist, Hannity refused to allow his other guest an opportunity to rebut.

Hannity And Beck Making A Killing On Hate
Though Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck like to market themselves as great patriots, they're rich guys getting ever richer exploiting the polarization in our country. As an article from MarketWatch notes, "The nastiest political climate the United States has seen in 40-plus years isn’t negative for everyone. For hosts of conservative talk shows in particular, as well as for the companies that syndicate their programs, things couldn’t be better... Premiere Radio Networks, the syndicator of the top three talk-radio shows — hosted by Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck — are on pace to see advertising sales increase for those programs by 10% to 40% from last year, the company told MarketWatch."

Palin Too Chicken To Rebut Vanity Fair In The Mainstream Media?
Just a few days after media coward Sarah Palin whined that Obama should get tougher questions from NBC, she took to Sean Hannity's radio show (where she was assured of nothing but sympathetic air time) to complain about a scathing article about her in Vanity Fair. Did Palin rebut any of the allegations in the article? Not that I heard. Instead, she came up with new insults about the media, calling them "Impotent, limp and gutless." Yet who's running from whom?

Hannity Eager To Cut All Entitlements And Call Democrats "Cheapskates," But Still Not So Eager To Discuss Freedom Concert Finances
Sean Hannity told his "Great American Panel" Friday night that he'd cut spending by cutting "everything across the board. I would end entitlements." As guest Jacques DeGraff noted, not even the Republican Governors Association would go that far. But then Hannity, facing accusations about how little money from his pricey Freedom Concerts actually goes to charity, had the nerve to attack VIce President Joe Biden for being a "cheapskate" in the amount he gives to charity. With video.

Freedom Alliance, Hannity And North's Favorite Charity, Has Been Downgraded By Charity Navigator
We've been following with great interest the complaints filed against Freedom Alliance, the charity run by convicted liar Oliver North and promoted by Sean Hannity via his pricey Freedom Concerts that fail to tell you how much of your $100 or so ticket price actually goes to the charity. Apparently, the charity watchdog organization Charity Navigator is paying attention, too. Joe Conason in Salon reports that Freedom Alliance has just been abruptly downgraded from a four star rating to two stars.
