Discuss amongst yourselves. ; )
Seriously, I'm wondering what some of the conservative types that read here think about him.
Seems like a hard working guy - probably a decent guy. But way too shrill for me.
And you? I'm curious.

I happen to like Sean. Rush Limbaugh is the one I can do without.

Personally, never listened to him. I'm a Limbaugh fan also. Above all though I couldnt do without Tony Snow. OReilly I could live without.

Oh, and , Hey tf!

Hi, Dan.
I used to watch Sean religiously, but I can't stand to even look at him anymore. It started with the Peterson case. His hard-nosed, "if the cops think you're guilty, then you must be" attitude makes me sick. The fact that he never applies that same standard to LE is even more galling. He ALWAYS advises a "wait and see" posture when confronted with wrong-doing by the cops; even when the evidence is staring him in the face like that video where they beat that 14 year old kid to death, and the cop who shot that unarmed soldier three times at point blank range. Sean is just too much of a hypocrite for my taste.

I absolutely love Rush.
Posted by: Max | Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 09:34 PM
Shrill is a good word. He's like Fran Drescher.
Can you imagine waking up to that voice every morning?
Posted by: sigmund, carl and alfred | Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 09:35 PM
Sean reminds me of someone who never changed the oil in his car, or mowed the lawn. Just a boring squeeky clean guy who wears preppie clothes and only knows how to dance the "Footloose" white-man dance move.

Sean Hannity bores me to death and I never know what he's saying because I'm fighting going into a coma. The guy on with him has the ability to incite violence in me due to his arrogant attitude.

I already spouted off about Hannity, but I just remembered a tactic he's used quite a few times that just infuriates me. I quit watching him after seeing him do this once too often. He gets a guest to listen to him read off a litany of talking points germane to the evening's topic and then asks the guest to respond. As soon as the guest responds, Sean says.... "So and so wrote this..." Whoever the the guest is 'for' is who wrote the talking points but Sean makes like it's the opposite side. It is duplicitous, mercurial and the class A tactics of a bully. Humiliating a guest on TV ??
He's probably never once in his life uttered the words, "I'm sorry."

Sean Hannity,Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly...... all started off OK, but then they started to read their press clippings and build their empires. Nothing wrong with a little capitalism, but what happened to class?
The only ones I can watch/listen to are Brit Hume, Tony Snow and Bill Handel.
Posted by: Gahrie | Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 10:15 PM
anything is better than Combs
Posted by: COLUMBO | Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 10:16 PM
What everybody needs to understand about Hannity, Tony Snow, Ann Coulter, Limbaugh, is that they are entertainers......they don't believe what they're saying half the time; they're just doing it for ratings and to get under everybody's skin. It's TV !!! Ann Coulter is great pals with Bill Mahr, Mr. ultra liberal. The only one with the ego as big as the pacific ocean is Bill O'Reilly.
Posted by: Kenpo | Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 10:23 PM
there is something abrasive about Hannity and Combs, Sean Hannity is difficult for me to follow because I'm not into a point/counterpoint. As far as his opinions? There's a way to make your point, he doesn't do it that way. I do prefer Bill.
Posted by: FloridaPatty | Thursday, February 23, 2006 at 10:28 PM
Listen to him every day on my way home from work. And, on a late night, Larry Elder, too.

I'm with Max, Rush Limbaugh is a class act. He is nothing like the hypocrite Sean Hannity. I used to watch Sean several years ago, but like Max his white-washing and no rush to judgment with the cops but anyone else the media wants to frame for ratings he all for the hang him high and ask questions later. This man needs a taste of his own medicine. He pretends to be a political news caster when he reality he is nothing more than a male version of Nasty Graceless and FU Fat Rita Cosby. I do not agree with Alan Colmes politics, but you have to hand it to him, he's not tabloid like Sean and he gives everyone an even break when it comes to justice. Rush Limbaugh doesn't stoop to the tatics of the trash radio and TV to get ratings, he sticks to the political scene and leaves the tabloid news to the tabloid reporters, like Greta, Sean, O'Reilly, Geraldo, FU Rita, and Nasty Graceless, and Catherine Liar. Lets face it folks, aside from Brit Hume, the entire Faux News Station is tabloid. I'm am just sick of this reality soap opera TV. Mega Ditto's Rush, your're my man.

don't enjoy hannity at all. don't listen to rush, he annoys me, but he is right, lol. don't listen to laura ingraham, she pissed me off a while back. let's see, i like tony snow, hume is good, hugh hewitt of all people (i say that because i'm not religious) - however, this guy kept me from freaking on election day. (there's some other guy from southern california that's good, a jewish guy, that i catch on the radio every now and then when i'm out on the highway). That's about it, the others reak.
Posted by: kim | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 12:44 AM
The Jewish guy is probably Bill Handel.
Posted by: Gahrie | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 05:42 AM
Whiny Hannity, water boy for the republican party. Basically he's an ass. My favorite is Michael Savage, ust cause he's so nasty about his opinion. O'Rielly? well, in my area he's on opposite Hannity, nuff said. I'm back n forth on Rush. He is the best with debating people who disagree, an actual debate. Hannity sticks on an idiotic question and shouts down opposing views, as does Neil Boortz. "I dont have to have a valid argument, backed up with facts. I have this red button" Someone mentioned Little Willie Mahr. The guy who should have PUNK tattooed on his forehead. His hair looks like it was permantly formed from too many swirlies back in school.
I like the nick name "Nasty Grace" I'd use Grates though, because she grates the nerves. Rita Broken voice, wtf?

Actually Sean is a country music fan...he even wears his cowboy boots, has had country music stars on his show too.
I wouldn't call him shrill, maybe overly vocal. I love that he and Alan are taking the eminent domain issue head on. I think he is a good guy, in the same scope as Tony Snow.
Posted by: A55HAT | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 09:20 AM
Rick, you have to admit that Neil Boortz is funny though; he even says not to belive anything he says until you do your own research. He's another entertainer.

What about Shepard Smith
Posted by: Mary Williamson | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 11:04 AM
Rush is da man! I can't stand Sean Hannity's voice, so rarely watch his program. Ditto Rita Cosby. I watch Greta b/c I'm into the 'tabloid' cases, but mute it when her panel comes on - I don't like people talking over one another, especially late at night (I retire after her show). Don't y'all knock Nancy - I love her sarcastic comments when those defense idjuts spout nonsense.
Posted by: transplanted Texan | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 11:10 AM
I really like Hannity. More people should emulate him. He is a good Christian conservative. His voice is not shrill, far from it. I think that is a complete mischaracterization. He is a good man with a good heart. AND THAT'S THE MEMO
Posted by: Melanie | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 11:18 AM
Sean is a waterboy like someone previously mentioned. That and his occassional sophmoric digs, makes his points diminished from an intellectual perspective.
My favorites are: Michael Savage and Jerry Doyle. Why, they are not water carriers for either party. They consistently bring up how party people destroy our country because it's party first, then country second. It's the independent thinkers that are going to save this country. Hooo-rah!!!!

Good Christian conservative??? I like conservatives and Christianity, but you show me in the bible why Jesus would have been a Republican or a conservative and I'll pay you $10,000. Jesus was a trouble maker at the time....he challenged the conservative institutions of his time and religious leaders invoking the name of God. He would be considered a hippie or a malcontent if he were alive right now, doing what he did then.
Posted by: Saigon | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 12:24 PM
I can't stand Sean Hannity. He doesn't seem to think his **** stinks!! He'll ask a guest a question and the talk over the guest. He's a little too self-righteous for my taste in TV.
Posted by: punkingale | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 02:14 PM
The guy's an idiot that makes my blood boil. Doesn't know the first thing about the Constitution and sticks his head up his butt every time he opens his mouth about it. He parrots party line backing the republicans even when wrong. Oops, they're wrong just about all the time just like the democrats.
Take him as an entertainer not as anyone with any common or good sense.
Posted by: Bill | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 03:31 PM
oooo Saigon, you're gonna get soooo pounced on it'll actually hurt. No, it doesn't matter that you're right. Jesus was quite liberal, more "christians" should try to act Christlike and make the world a better place. .....but when people use the term "liberal" nowadays they really mean humanist-pinko.
Posted by: Rick | Friday, February 24, 2006 at 07:12 PM
He's a hack. Just an empty suit serving as an ideological mouthpiece....nothing more. I don't have a problem with that, just with the fact that he tries to portray his show as an unbiased news program. I would respect him more if he just admitted what his show was really all about....he's entitled to his misguided opinions, but don't insult us by trying to act like you are fair and balanced.

Sean Hannity just reminds of that guy who refused to take his argyle socks off when he'd be having sex, and, he would insist on keeping his boxer shorts because he could just "slip it out that front opening". Moreover, he probably had a lot of friends named Todd, Chad, and Scooter.
Sean's idea of decorating a home probably consists of framed art of bald eagles, statues of the flag raising at Iwo-Jima, a big poster of Top Gun on the ceiling. And you know that back in the eighties he wore that nasty Polo after shave and he also had a collection of Members Only jackets.
