Hannity bragged that some of those millions got their information from his program.
In my mind, theres no doubt that so many people showed up to support you, and I would even argue a little bit that the media coverage that myself and some other people have given to this case played a part in this because none of it made sense, Hannity said.
Then he asked Bundys son, point blank, if he worried federal agents would kill his father or another family member.
This battle has been going on for my whole life, almost, and if death were our main fear, we wouldnt be here today, Ammon Bundy said, as the TV screen showed the Gadsden Dont Tread On Me flag. Freedom is much greater than death. People have to understand that.

Hannity is a dangerous idiot

(16,423 posts)What they don't want to understand is that "freedom" is a complex social construct.
If you are alone, you are free to do whatever you want.
If you enter a society, this totally changes:
- You provide society with something. (e.g. manpower, intellect)
- Society provides you with something. (e.g. security, access to resources)
That's the social contract.
Unconditional freedom becomes conditional freedom. You are only allowed to do what you want as long as it doesn't conflict with other people's desires to do what they want.
You are not free to violate the rules of a society, because that's a breach of contract.
(e.g. using public resources without reimbursing the public)
You are not free to violate other people's freedom, because that's a breach of contract.
(e.g. taking away other people's freedom because of your religious freedom)

Hannity and Cloven-Hoof Bundy need to be arrested for conspiracy to commit treason.
