I take issue with Hannity on this one. I for one, do believe that Barack Obama is a long-legged mack daddy pimp sending out his vixens with 54 DDs.

 
Code_Archeologist [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 08:47:30 AM  
Have to give Hannity credit where credit is due. But really Rev. Manning is just an attention whore looking to get some notoriety as black pastor who is against Obama.

That pastor is one of the reasons that I don't go to church. I'm not voting for Obama, but only because I believe him to be a socialist.

Really? I think compared to Kucinich he's very conservative. He admires Reagan for fark's sake. I don't think he's liberal enough.

Leftism and socialism have much more to do with economics than with military issues. It's not like leftists throughout history have shied away from violence anymore than any other ideologies.

That's true, to some extent. But the whole leftist ideology was redefined in the US during the Vietnam era. At that point, supporting military intervention was a type of litmus test for defining who was "Right" or who was "Left".

...and the sad part is...he knew he was going to put on "a show" of it, beforehand.

he is a dimwit...with a 'network'.

-and a agenda.

a network that panders to morons.

it does, actually. but don't let that stop you from spouting GOP talking points.

obama is a "new" democrat. in other words, unlike george w. bush and the neocon republican party, he's for smaller government and more personal freedom.

here's his "plan," including his economic policies (new window, PDF). please indicate how he's socialist, or as GaryPDX shrieks, "He's far more Left than that."

 
FlashHarry [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 11:12:13 AM  
difficulty: you can't scream, "ZOMG!!1! Socialism!!1!!!" because he doesn't want to dismantle social security or medicare. last time i checked, neither bush nor mccain were suggesting that either.

A few years back Utah Valley State College invited Hannity to speak. He wanted $100k. The college couldn't afford that, so they invited another windbag, Michael Moore, to come speak. He charged $35k or $40k, can't remember which.

When the community found out, there was an uproar. Donors to the school threatened to pull any future contributions if Moore wasn't uninvited. One moron offered the college $25k just to cancel the event. Hannity's cronies found out about it and Sean decided he'd come counter Moore a week or so later, for free. The only catch: the college would pay his travel expenses.

So Moore spoke, then Hannity spoke, and idiots worshipped both. Moore got his $40k and Hannity sent UVSC a bill: for $65k. Those were his travel expenses. And included was a trip from Phoenix to New York on a private jet, that had been planned months before his initial invitation to Utah, and completely unrelated to the speaking event.

So that should tell you something about his character.

I'm so sick of idiot religionists being given air time. BTW, Obama is fairly moderate. When I hear right wing whack jobs call him a socialist, I find it hard to take them seriously.

Hobodeluxe [TotalFark] 2008-04-20 12:56:21 PM  
Hannity does this to give himself a reference to go back to to show his impartiality. he's done it before. so when he's called on his bias later on he can go back and say "Oh I defended Obama" and suddenly he's totally objective absolved on any prejudice at all.


/one of the oldest tricks in the book

Did Bill Clinton foresee this when he moved his office to Harlem? Is that why this Harlem pastor hates Obama and is a clinto Supporter?

Gary, you're retarded. I'm not going to address your "claim" because you've not made one. I'm just going to attack you. fark you. You are retarded. You hurt civic discourse with comments like this, because I make comments like this as rebuttals. You have no substance to your thought, therefore you get slanderous comments like this that attack you instead of your argument. You're retarded. Shut the fark up.

Alphax 2008-04-20 01:07:07 PM  
I can't view video here, but it sounds pretty typical of Hannity. Inviting on black men to attack other black men he doesn't like, and pretending it's not him doing it. I hear he does it fairly often, but especially on MLK Day.

well Fox accomplished what they wanted. They let this man have a national audience to spew his hate and bring up negative things about Obama and they came out looking like the good guys.

I have not gone to church for over a decade. Is that how things are now? Jesus Christ, I was a kid and the Lutherans just talked sports and then had good food and drank beer.

Christ almight how can the African American Community stand for that vile spewing racist ignorant retard?

That paster is no different than the godhatesfags group or the KKK.

Its not the politicians that are the scum, its the assbackwards religions that back them and warp their minds.

that pastor, and wright for that matter, are not preaching the word of God. that is all.

 
Suicidal Writer 2008-04-20 01:14:18 PM  
I don't believe most of the Fox News personalities are as bad as they are on tv (John Gibson probably is). Really, they have to appeal to their mainly ignorant and bigoted viewers, so things must be black and white and simple, but I do believe it's often an act. In the case of Sean Hannity, he has always been friendly to blacks, and even started a black Republican website. He defended Kobe Bryant. It's refreshing to know he isn't a racist even though his political views are otherwise atrocious. He has friends with views that differ form his, and honestly he reminds me of a few people I knew and got along with really well. He seems like a decent dude that plays up his personality to get paid.
