Okay, hate is a strong word, so instead of using it I must resort to quoting the band The Plain White T’s in saying, “Hate is a strong word, but I really really really don’t like you . . . .” That’s right, Sean, I’m talking to you (lol if he read my blog I’d gush . . . geez – the way I’ve been neglecting this blog, I’d gush if ANYONE stumbled upon it!).
When I’m driving home and I’m bored, and I’m looking for “entertainment” I put on the Sean Hannity radio show . . . I don’t do it to listen to what he has to say – for godssake I know what he’s going to say . . . it’s the same old right-wing rhetoric every-fucking-day – I don’t tune in for that. I tune in to hear the new ways Sean finds to get out of responding to people who call up with differing views and valid counter-points. It’s actually quite interesting . . . .
The other day, Sean spent a great part of one phone call talking about the caller’s famous BBQ restaurant in Georgia (apparently he’s a frequent caller, and they know each other) – which is all well and good – they seemed to like each other and free advertising is great for anyone! But when it came time to talk about health-care, Hannity exclaimed his desire to debate the caller . . . let me repeat the important word here: DEBATE . . . so the caller went on to make his point, which, was a damn good one that I happen to agree with, but of course, Hannity didn’t like it . . . he cut the caller off (interrupting is what he’s great at!) and lambasted him for “demonizing” health-care companies (oh because they’re soooooooooooo innocent!!) and insinuated the caller meant something other than what he actually said . . . I was outraged, and was desperately waiting for the caller to correct Sean and clearly make his point for the second time, but every time the caller tried to say something Sean just talked louder, eventually hanging up on the guy because he just HAD to go to break – oh – how convenient . . . the guy had a different opinion than Sean, and he stated it, so Sean brought up points to discredit the guy and ended up finding any reason to get him off the phone, leaving the caller no time to debate . . . I’ve heard this happen more times than I can count, and I fucking hate it. The “debate” never happened. It’s as one-sided as it gets on the Sean Hannity show. Oh, but there was plenty of time to talk about BBQ . . . .
Today, I was in a parking lot, parked (that’s important, and you’ll soon find out why) and a guy called up stating how he feels conservative republicans spend so much time caring about “pro-life” when it comes to babies, but don’t care about “pro-life” when it comes to people that are already living – so – for instance – in terms of health care – Hannity would back a health care plan that keeps millions of Americans uncovered . . . so if they were to get sick and die . . . oh well . . . they’re not unborn babies . . . so what does it matter!? But I digress a bit . . . the caller’s point was that Hannity needed to be more balanced (oh, that’s a wild notion!) when he calls out Democrats for being “pro-choice” in the abortion issue, but not in other issues . . . while Republicans are pro-life in the abortion arena, but not in others . . . let’s just say directly after the caller made this great point the very clear station, which was coming through on a very clear signal, suddenly crapped out rendering any words that were said to utter mush . . . now, at first I thought it was the caller’s cell phone sucking at life, but not even Hannity’s voice was coming through . . . by the time Sean’s voice came through clear and true, the caller was gone and Hannity moved on to the next topic . . . mmmmm . . . keep in mind – I was PARKED – so it wasn’t my reception that suddenly went bad . . . could something technical have gone wrong? Absolutely, but I highly doubt it . . . especially from someone (Hannity) who has been known to present one “truth” in spite of the actual truth . . . fair and balanced my ass.
