Let me first say, I absolutely love watching Sean Hannity. I disagree with almost everything he says and even more with the way he says it, but I, nonetheless, love watching his show for nothing but its comediac element. The hypocrisy that spews from his mouth is absolutely priceless. In a recent piece on the actress/comedienne, Janeane Garofolo, regarding comments she made accusing the "anti-tax tea party protesters" in Washington as racist. Although she may have went overboard in accusing "all of the protesters" as racist, she certainly had a point in referring to the slogan "What You Talkin' Bout Willis" as racist.
Naturally, this comment is completely overlooked by Hannity and instead he attacks her comments as "ridiculous and insane" and "gross generalizations." This from the same man who, later in the piece, asserts that Garofolo's isolated comments "seem very characteristic of the left." Hannity is the king of generalizations. The guy can't go more than two minutes of air time without placing a comment, figure or event within the context of some kind of grandscale, ambiguous problem, often characterizing them as products or results of a situation created by "liberals" or "the media" or "society" (can we get more general?).
Please, Sean Hannity, try a little bit harder to be more specific so you can atleast uphold some semblence of responsible journalism. When one makes comments like, "Now America's moving from a free market economy to a socialist economy; I don't think that anybody who understands economic systems can deny that," one usually has to substantiate such a bold assertion with some kind of evidence, even if it is contrived (which I'm sure it would be if it were even presented). I guess Sean Hannity's "gross generalizations" are acceptable, though.
