Sean Hannity Waterboard Watch – 976 Days And Counting

Posted by Ellen -7842.60pc on December 24, 2011 · Flag

On the Hannity show’s special “Holiday” program last night, Hannity aired a moving profile of an American hero who had been profoundly wounded and permanently disabled in war. Ainsley Earhardt managed to present a straightforward account without the usual spin or distortion we have come to expect from her special reports on Hannity. At the end of the segment, Earhardt and Sean Hannity discussed how the wounded vets’ challenges made their own seem trivial by comparison. But not trivial enough for Hannity to meet the challenge he made for himself when he promised to undergo “dunking” – the word he used to describe waterboarding – for a charity to benefit the troops, as he promised on April 22, 2009, more than two years and eight months ago. Keith Olbermann even sweetened the pot by offering $1,000 to the families of U.S. troops for every second Hannity lasted.

“He changed your life,” Hannity said to Earhardt at the end of her report.

“He really brought me perspective to my life because he has such a positive attitude,” Earhardt said.

Hannity added, “You’re describing the exact experience I had when Colonel North took me to Bethesda and Walter Reed. I walked out of there actually a little embarrassed that I think I ever have problems. Because of what these guys are dealing with.” 

Well, in that case, you’d think Hannity would have been inspired to be “dunked” on their behalf.

The discussion with Earhardt is in the last video below but I’m including the full segment because it was in fact quite moving and the charity highlighted seems to be a good one. 

The first video is about Hannity's offer to be waterboarded and Olbermann's counter offer.

This is how you handle Hugh’s cowardly son. Tell every U.S. military personnel, their families, vets, and conservatives on the streets that Hannocchio said on the air two years ago that he would water board for a charity to benefit U.S. troops, but failed to deliver on that promise.

Use this simple script that we use:

YOU: “Were you aware that Sean Hannity said on his Fox News show two years ago that he promised to waterboard himself for a charity benefitting our troops?”

THEM: “I didn’t know about that?”

YOU: “He told a guest on the show and his audience that he would do it, but he never delivered on his promise. People have asked him about the waterboard for charity, but he refuses to respond to them. He just ignore’s people inquiries.”

THEM: “He must have said something about not doing it?”

YOU: Nope. Not a single word. You should call up his radio show and ask him why he renege on his waterboard for the troops, but I doubt his call screener would allow you to ask him that question. Here’s his number 1-800-941-7326."

In 2012, Hannocchio’s dark side becomes public.

It’s “dunking” only when it is done to some dirty Muslim who probably deserved it. It’s “torture” when it is done to a good Merkin like KKKlannity.

Anyone remember the formally freqent guest on Fox, the dj Mancow? He allowed himself to be waterboarded on Fox, live and only lasted a few seconds before he was gasping for air and said this is without doubt, pure torture.

The way he reacted disappointed Fox so much I haven’t seen him on Fox since.
