Paulists menace Fox News guy
January 8th, 2008 at 09:17am Pat Cunningham
Fox News creature Sean Hannity, who’s even more smug than I (we’re both Irish, you know), had the misfortune of coming across a pack of Ron Paul enthusiasts up in New Hampshire the other night.
The Paulists were P.O.’d because their guy had been barred from a Fox News debate among the Republican presidential hopefuls.
I guess the folks at Fox, most of whom consider George W. Bush our finest president since Lincoln, didn’t want to hear Paul spewing any of his disparagements of Bush’s glorious war in Iraq.
Another likely factor is that Roger Ailes, the guy who runs Fox News, is very tight with Rudy Giuliani, the great hero of 9/11.
Anyway, here’s a video of the Paulists chasing after Sean Hannity:

i looked @ the video of ron paul supporters “chasing” hannity. looks like radical, young punks to me, waiting for hannity to address them, so they can spew more hate filled venom. paul is a socialist in republican clothing. he has as much chance as billary or bam bam; who, by the way, is the flavor of the month. (please don’t ask me to “change” my mind. i am so tired of that word. can we get it taken out of the dictionary?????)
who will be the dem nominee? i don’t know. don’t know who the rep will be either. but i’ll bet you a beer it won’t be bam bam, billary or ronny. like you said, fred is gone. rudy needs a transfusion. the huckster better get moving. my money is on romney, but, again, this is american politics; and we will see.

Pat: I’ll take you up on that beer bet. “Bam bam,” as you call him, is indeed going to win the Democratic nomination. As for your characterization of Ron Paul as a “socialist,” nothing could be further from the truth. He’s a libertarian who votes against virtually every social program that comes before Congress. He’s no more a socialist than George W. Bush is a silver-tongued orator.

Whoa, first it was “Nigel” now your calling people “creatures”.
Just because you disagree with them is no reason to demean them personally, that is just immature. I can’t stand listening to the guy, think his show is so full of hot air it is virtually fluff, but he is still a person.
Seriously Pat, is it a personality flaw? Why can’t you just post items without the insulting characterizations?

You’re right. I shouldn’t have called Hannity a creature. A better word would be fascist. I’m sick of creeps like him impugning the patriotism of people who think the war in Iraq is a huge mistake. He’s the one who has a “personality flaw”

I am sorry that this is the level of discourse on blogs, particularly blogs here on the Register Star. As one who shares many of your frustrations of late I can only offer the advice to beware you don’t become that which you hate.
If name calling in place of intelligent discourse and observations is what modern liberals are about then I fear for the future of America.

Come on. All of this arises because I called Hannity a “creature”? Oh, well. You’re probably right. I guess I better promise to take your advice and guard against becoming what I hate. I solemnly swear to never become a jingoistic, pseudo-patriotic blowhard on the Fox News Channel. Whew! That felt good. I’m a new man.
