So late last night / early this morning, while listening to Air America, I was alerted to a web poll being run over on Hannity.com asking “Who should be President of the United States?”
I stopped by, voiced my opinion, and saw that the results of the unscientific web poll to that point — with some 11,000+ votes cast — was about 65% Kerry, 33% Bush, 2% Nader.
This morning when I woke up, I checked it again. It was then at 75% Kerry, 22% Bush, 3% Nader.
Checked back about 20 minutes later to find that “This poll has been disabled.”
So presumably, there’s a kink in the well-oiled GOP Media Spin Machine. Was the poll taken down because it was soiled after Air America alerted listeners to it’s existance? Presumably, Hannity either did, or would have told his 10 million or so (largely Republican) listeners to stop by and vote on his web poll and then reported the Fair and Balanced results later on his show.
Yet the “inconsequential”, “failing”, “nobody listens to it” Air America informs it’s American listeners about the poll which resulted in numbers — I guess — that Sean didn’t care for. So the poll comes down.
It’s a rather small point, nothing as outrageous as repeatedly playing the uncut audio of an American screaming in horrific agony as his head is sawed off “live” on the air (as I reported in “Sean Hannity: American Shame”) but it does serve to illustrate the desperate and deceptive Anti-American nature of the #2 GOP Spokesperson who is given free reign on the Public Airwaves coast-to-coast across the nation.
Perhaps it’s time for another look at the FCC’s “Equal Time Rule” which is seemingly now wholly ignored as it applies to the political propoganda being shovelled out under the guise of “entertainment” on America’s Public Airwaves. I’m not holding my breath.
UPDATE: After listening to the first two and a half hours of Hannity’s show today, he has not made one mention of his aborted poll. Down the memory hole, I guess…
🙂
:)Hooray for Sean, A voice heard that sheds light on the dark pages coming from the left side

😥 I am so happy I found your Blog, Brad. I for one can hardly tolerate Sean Hannity. Yes he is one of the biggest smug Hypocrites on the airways. The other is Rush Limbaugh. They are pompous, deceptive brainwashers only a Dito head who cannot think for them selves could listen to their bloviating, without becoming ill. God help America if these guys can captivate so many people. I’m a DEmocrat a Christain, I love the U.S. and I’m sick and tired of being insulted by Sean and Rush!!!
Keep up the good work Brad Peggy
Sean is a great guy. Yeah!!!

IF MR. HANNITY WOULD STOP TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE COMENTS AGAINST THE BUSH MAN,HE MIGHT CHANGE HIS WAY OF THINKING. OH WAIT, HE’S GETTING PAID TO MUCH BY THE G.O.P. .
Open letter to Sean Hannity:
Sean,
I rarely can listen longer than five minutes to your AM-talk radio program before changing the channel or actually turning the radio off.
It’s long past time that all people of good will and having historic American values organize campaigns against the advertisers that sponsor your horrible behaviours.
I’ve no idea whether the ‘Mr. Cringle’ at whom you were ranting and canting, and filibustering over, is in personal behaviour an asset to the United States or not. In a truly free country this decision is neither in your or my purview. But nobody hearing your ad hominem attack on him could do anything but sympathize with him and his conferees.
The issues in Toledo have nothing to do with Cringle, or with ‘white’ racial separatists. The people -black, white, brown and yellow- who are suffering in Toledo are doing so due to the ‘black’ gangs who render the streets unsafe and who drive down property values. Another caller was quite correct in citing ‘white flight’ as hollowing out America’s cities, although it’s not just ‘whites’ who are fleeing.
A flight of the middle classes and of those aspiring to middle class status from urban locales has a knock-on effect of increasing America’s petroleum and other energy uses. That then drives up the cost of employing Americans, for the employees next need more money to live. Perhaps you’re getting payola from those obscene oil-company profits?
The immediate issues in Toledo and other urban centres have nothing to do with any false ideal about equality. Equality is at best a legal fiction, for in the real universe it doesn’t exist, and the French cry of "Libertè, Egalitè et Fraternitè’ was very defective. A daily and omnipresent Equality cannot be delivered via State action.
Liberty cannot exist where a government is committed to using force to ‘guarantee’ equality. Fraternity must certainly disappear where people are forced, not persuaded via moral suasion, to show a fraternal spirit.
The issues in Toledo and like urban locales aren’t religious in any sectarian sense either. The black caller who tried to get you to acknowledge the oppressive behaviours of the governments of the United States, local, state and federal, was treated to an astonishing display of intellectual dishonesty.
The incarceration and murder rates of the U.S.A. is comparable to the worst of the Communist horror States for reasons, and these reasons have nothing to do with the availability of weapons. Afghanistan under the Taliban featured automatic carbines (AK-47s etc.) in nigh every abode and hovel, but the murder and general crime rates were far below that of the U.S.A. The Swiss are heavily armed, and are divided into Francophone, Germanic and Latin tribes, but they haven’t the violence of Americans.
The problems in Toledo are caused by the centralized control and hypocrisy of American governments. That tyranny is generating an underclass, not all black, that is similar to the slaves who staffed the latifundia of ancient Rome. Except the slave-masters and -mongers of America feel no obligation whatever to anything except Egregious Profit.
You are so disgusting that after you die that your remains will need to be disposed of as toxic waste.

If it was, as you said, an unscientific poll, what is your point? Why would Air America tell you abou it?
Why would a buch of folks that listen to Hannity cast a vote for Kerry over Bush?
Obviously Air America told a buch of people about it to get them to say Kerry, and bet that you were one of them, right?
Hannity was wrong since he figured it would give Bush as the winner since, again, Conservatives listen to his show.
Love your pix with the fag in your mouth, no pun intended. Maybe if you ever tip the scale at 300 plus you could post a pix with you stuffing a cheeseburger in your mouth.
I do thank you for letting me air my views.
Your a real American my friend!
Duker
you are such a moron. someday you pull your head out of your ass long enough to recognize what a chump you are. libs….
:laugh: Where do I start with so much untruth? So much that I won’t justify it with any comment… :hehe:
Sean is a moron. It’s not about supporting the troops or loving Bush, it’s about respect of the truth. Its one thing to send our troops to get Osama bin ladin in Afganastan to kill the terrorists, but why did he attack Iraq? Lets get our troops out and build up our own country. Thousands of homless and sick americans are dying on the streets in American cities, lets help them.
It’s amazing how naive you & most of the posted comments are. Hannity has most of it right yet you don’t have the common sense (nor the humility) to see it. How comic, yet how sad.
