New Record, 21 Minutes

Well, I just wanted to take a sec and report that I have set a new record for sitting through an episode of Hannity. I made it a whole 21 minutes until I had to turn off the television. Normally I can sit through a ton of bullshit and hypocrisy, but Hannity seems to revel in it. This episode, they had that idiot of a woman at Arlen Spector's town hall on to comment about the attacks that the "left wing attack machine" was targeting her with. 

Just as a little bit of information, for those of you that don't know who this woman is. This woman basically showed up at Sen. Specter's town hall and ranted about how the government is "Dismantling the country" and how she doesn't want to see America turn into a "Russia" or socialist country. 

They started the segment with a few quotes about how she appears to be uneducated and is the poster child for the uneducated right wing town hall-er. Well, I hate to break it to you, but it's true. She is a complete moron. Just listening to her made me cringe. And during this whole thing Hannity is just egging her on, lapping up the bullshit. Socialist, really? Have any people nowadays actually looked up what Socialism is? Anyone? If any of these idiots had, then they would know that this health care bill is not Socialism at all. I just wish I could show up to one of these shows and just ask them point blank if they know what Socialism is. But, Hannity literally turns to her and says "The reason that everyone is so worked up about what you said is that it resonates with so many Americans." Really? Earlier, I was really mad that people could be so stupid that they just repeat everything that they hear from Rush Limbaugh and Fox News. But, after a while, I feel sad for them. They really do believe that they have the correct information. They really do believe that the government is dismantling this country. It's a sad thought. The even sadder thought is that these people vote. 

People like Sean Hannity that bring people onto his show, and use that show as a platform to spread misinformation should lose their show. There are people that really think the Sean has their best interests in mind, while he truly does not. There needs to be some sort of law where people who spread this kind of stuff have to have some sort of truth disclaimer, or have to identify themselves at the beginning of their show as a "radical right wing commentator with a truthful rating of 0 percent." I'm thinking kind of like we do with sex offenders in this country where they have to identify themselves. People that tune into Hannity might be lead to believe that he is not lying to them, and people need to know that he is.

Now we end yet another post where I start on topic and end somewhere completely different.
