Hannity Refuses To Prove His Claim That Killing Of Bin Laden “Wouldn’t Have Happened” If Obama “Had His Way”

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on February 10, 2012 · Flag

Sean Hannity is ducking Ed Schultz’ challenge to prove that Osama Bin Laden would still be alive if President Obama “had his way.” Although Schultz captured Hannity saying on Fox News that he could prove that on tape, now that he has been challenged, Hannity has decided to play the victim in the hope that nobody will notice he hasn’t come up with any tape. Well, Sean, we noticed and we’re not falling for your victim routine.

On his radio show yesterday, Hannity played the clip of him peviously saying about Bin Laden’s death, “It wouldn’t have happened if (Obama) had his way and I think that can be proven as well - on tape.”

Schultz did a great job of coming up with lots of tape proving otherwise. In the same segment, he challenged Hannity to “show us the tapes proving President Obama didn’t want to kill the Number One terrorist in the world, Osama Bin Laden, responsible for 9/11.”

Instead, Hannity whined on the radio that he was “dealing with nonsense” and with people “trying to throw me off my game.” He reiterated, “I will stand by this point – that if Barack Obama had his way no Gitmo, no rendition, no enhanced interrogation, no Bin Laden. Wouldn’t have happened.” Funny how Hannity didn’t say anything about being able to prove it on tape this time.

Hannity boasted that he gave Obama “a lot of credit” for capturing bin Laden and then went on to provide an analogy about a passive father taking all the credit for a mother’s work convincing an overweight daughter to lose weight - a not-so-subtle suggestion that President Bush is the one who really deserves the credit for Bin Laden’s death, not credit-hogging Obama.

But while he went to the trouble of “standing by his point” and drawing up an analogy to go with it, Hannity never came up with any tape.

Ed Schultz, on the other hand, debunked the claim that we should thank “enhanced interrogations” for Bin Laden’s death with another load of tape.

You can listen to Hannity and then watch Schultz in clips below. Both are via Media Matters.

By the way, don’t forget that waterboarding fan Hannity still hasn’t fulfilled his promise to be waterboarded for charity. Feel free to remind him either via email at [email protected] or via Twitter at @SeanHannity.

Don’t do Twitter, Brian… If someone is part of a major news story I’m following, I’ll keep their page temporarily in my favourties for if they slip up on there. But that’s it.

Hannity is a flat coward, Brian. Even Beck lasted longer when I debated him on his FB wall. Which is really, really sad because Beck (or someone on his behalf) replied twice to insult me, then let his fans run the ad hominem marathon until he was bored and blocked me from there.

So if we captured and tried Bin Laden…?

What really creeps out & scares the Fux Nuze Morons is the fact that had Gore been POTUS there would not have been a 911.

The only game that KKKlannity has is to say as many evil things about President Obama in the course of one hour.I have no idea what is truly wrong with this guy but a psychiatric evaluation wouldn’t be a luxery.It amazes me that he has two shows that are all about lies,insane accusations and hate.Freedom of speech goes a long way in this day and age,exersised extremely well by the likes of Seanie,Bile and the rest of that sorry lot..

Kudos to Ed Schultz and Keith Olberman for calling out KKKlannity for his lies and cowardice.

if hannity had to prove any of wild acusations
his head would explode and his followers would all wander from one end of the country to the other is a lost and cloudy haze.

High End Hannocchio is a bold face liar and a coward all rolled up in one.

This disgrace to his father will never waterboard himself for the troops, and will never produce a tape proving his point. As always, his audience will fall for his lies.

The Stop Hannity Express continues to hit the streets and expose this imposter to the masses in the streets. Many people are unaware of Hannocchio’s dark side and his past. He would lose half his audience if his other side became public knowledge.

NOTE TO HANNITY

Genius, your audience are the real victims.

I say that if Hannity hasn’t put up by March 1st, we boycott both his shows off the air. You do NOT make a claim like this against a sitting president, then refuse to put out the proof.

Instead of coming up with the proof, Hannity played the victim.
