"On last night's edition of his eponymous Fox News show, Sean Hannity briefly took a trip to his smile-time fantasy world when he had this conversation with Frank Luntz:
"HANNITY: I know the president will say, 'Well, we got bin Laden.' Putting that aside...
LUNTZ: And the public gives him credit for that.
"HANNITY: They do. The public does give him credit for that. But it wouldn't have happened if he had his way, and I think that can be proved as well on tape.
"Oh, really? That would sure be interesting. You see, if President Barack Obama really didn't want to take out bin Laden, he sure had an odd way of showing it. The easiest way to avoid going after bin Laden would be to say something like -- I don't know ... bin Laden is "one person" and that you "really just don't spend that much time on him, to be honest with you." Which isn't necessarily the height of awfulness, mind you, there's numerous ways to confront al Qaeda and the threat they represent."

(14,093 posts)Hannity, in 2008, arguing against the idea of a raid to take out Bin Laden:
"Fox News' Sean Hannity and Karl Rove repeatedly attacked Obama's remarks, saying over and over that Obama said he would "invade" Pakistan. Hannity called Obama's statement "frightening" and Rove said it was indicative of "the inexperience that he has." Hannity even claimed Obama's Pakistan policy could "potentially create a theocracy with nuclear weapons."
---
Hannity claimed that Obama has stated his "willingness to invade an ally against their will," referring to Pakistan. However, as Media Matters for America repeatedly noted, Obama never said he would "invade Pakistan." Rather, Obama stated in an August 1 speech: "If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets [in Pakistan] and President [Pervez] Musharraf won't act, we will."

(13,062 posts)I take that back; he's worse than Tokyo Rose, who was coerced into selling out. Hannity is a lying propagandist by choice.

(37,540 posts)SH, Rush, BO, and the rest of the RW porpaganda machine are paid huge bucks. No one makes that kind of money telling the truth. Spinning reality to dupe their audience is worth big money for have interests in keeping this country politically divided.
For 8 years that tried to convince us that George W. Bush was a great President. And the last 3 years trying to convince us that Obama is awful. Sucks to be saddled with crappy material to build your message on.

"Why is everybody looking at me like that?"
