Right at the top of the interview, Ellison told Hannity, “You are the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen.” He scolded Hannity for trying to blame the president instead of providing accurate information on the sequester fight, and called Hannity a “shill for the Republican party.” Hannity invited Ellison to “keep ranting.”
After Ellison spoke for a bit, Hannity cut him off to ask another question, but Ellison fired back, “No, wait a minute, you said I could rant, and I am.” Hannity said he’s had plenty of time to rant, but before he could get onto the next question, Ellison kept loudly talking. Hannity asked, “Why are you so angry?”
Hannity told Ellison he was acting “comical,” and in response to Ellison’s bewilderment and light mocking, he said he gave him enough time to rant without getting another question. Hannity said that in the spirit of bipartisanship they should have a dialogue. Ellison shot back, “I thought you weren’t a Republican.”
Hannity clarified he’s a registered conservative.
Hannity then moved on to his question. He claimed the sequester was the Democrats’ fault, to which Ellison immediately insisted it was the Republican-led House’s fault. Hannity tried to call out President Obama for the massive debt, and Ellison fought back with a few suggestions for how Democrats want to lessen the debt, which Hannity practically laughed at.
As Hannity attempted to ask Ellison another question about the “immoral” debt, Ellison called Hannity immoral and accused him of telling lies. He insisted that the massive debt is not Obama’s fault, which led to a brief shouting match between the two men. Hannity cut Ellison off by telling him the interview was a “total waste of time.”
I have to tell you that it was beyond satisfying watching Hannity get called out on his partisan bullshit. And I damn near busted a gut when he claimed he was not a Republican.
The whole network is one giant propagnada arm for the Republican party and the more that people like Rep. Ellison call them out over it the better.
You know perhaps next he should invite Florida Congressman Alan Grayson on his program. I am sure he will let Hannity get a word in edgewise. Yeah probably not.
Wouldn't it be great if CHRIS "NEVER STOP TALKING OVER HIS GUESTS" MATTHEWS was on Hannity's "I Hate Obama Hour?"
ReplyDeleteI can picture Sean reduced to actual tears, looking over at his crew to help him, somehow.
Watching that was a kick in the ass!!! Sean, O'Reilley and others need to have it occur to them time and time again. Pretty soon they'd then go off the air!!! Their ratings are dropping, as was published yesterday or the day before.! Yea!
DeleteThat was a thing of beauty!
ReplyDeleteChris would slaughter that Sissy Hannity. Sean only wants guests that he can Bully or control like a Drugged out Sarah Palin.
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite interviews are when Stephanie Miller has The Once and Current Florida Representative on for "Face the Grayson." Almost tempted to move back to FL so he'd be my CongressCritter.
ReplyDeleteHannity is a bully through and through — Just like the Repubs who brought on the sequester and tanked the committee formed in 2011. They will yell until the cows come home that it "wasn’t their fault." I am convinced they have such little capacity for memory or self reflection it is an impossibility to reason with them. We are dealing with mentally challenged people. Common sense conservatives? more like people incapable of making sense.
ReplyDeleteI'm really surprised Fox let all that go out on their airwaves without cutting Rep. Ellison off entirely.
ReplyDeleteIn the crazy world of MN we have Shelly B and her dominionists and then we have Keith, Amy and Al. All in all we do pretty well. He's also used to getting slammed since the local Sunday conservative hack has him on her show from time to time as though to prove she doesn't have her lips stuck to Shelly's ass. She's never really polite with him and you can hear her undertone of nonacceptance of him.
ReplyDeleteJust had to share...
ReplyDeleteI read about this earlier today at HP and one commenter,signjay, wrote "Hannity is a journalist in the way that urine is water."
That is sooo GREAT!!
DeleteIntelligent sarcasm!
With that exceptional gay trill...
"LOVE IT!"
UMMMM. Mr. Hannity. There is no voter registration designation for "conservative." The choice you have for registration at your voting district is either Republican, Democrat or Independent. I repeat, there is no such thing as a "registered conservative." Either you don't vote. Or what??? You don't know what party you are voting with?? BWAHAHAHHAHHHHAAAA!!!
ReplyDeleteHannity *also* said: "Let's have a moment of Bipartisanship here".
Delete"Bipartisanship is a political situation, usually in the context of a two-party system, in which opposing political parties find common ground through compromise"
So...if the one gentleman *IS* a known Democrat, then HAnnity himself just called himself a Republican.
Idiot. And he still Protests!
No wonder he liked the lying, moron Palin.
YUCK!
Hannity keeps saying he's a "registered conservative" HA! a conservative is part of the GOP party. He is such an asshole. So now he doesn't want to be associated with the republicans? I cannot stand this idiot.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering what a "registered conservative" is anyway. There's a Conservative Party in the UK and in Canada but, as far as I know, there is none in the US. Or am I missing something?
DeleteBeaglemom
This is why no Democrats are ever on Faux....they simply cannot take the truth in any form. Hannity is lower than the scum at the bottom of the barrel. Every single day this country is under the brutal assault from Republicans...to drag us all back to the dark ages. How does the world view all this? We promote democracy like its the discovery of fire and yet the minority is ruling us, against the wishes of millions of citizens. When the corporations/rich people have it all....who will be left for them to rule, to rape and pillage? The voting acts right has my head spinning today...did no one follow this last election? The GOP are destroying us, they are terrorists...one and all.
ReplyDeleteWell the dark ages as you call them are what got us what we have today which includes freedom of speech or you wouldn't be able to spill out the garbage your spilling. if you think the republican or conservatives or libertarians are terroritst, then you need to do some research. your ignorance is showing.
Delete"if you think the republican or conservatives or libertarians are terroritst, then you need to do some researh"
DeleteUgh Duh! They are "Terrorists"! What planet are you from? The Alex Jones planet? You must be the resident NRA troll. Well fuck you, if you don't think they are terrorists than YOU ARE one yourself! Your flippin ignorance is showing, Trollie!
5:50 PM before you refer to another as ignorant, learn to use the word 'your' properly. As your Skanky Idol would say, "you are a Dingbat".
DeleteNow that is how you handle a bully. You step right up to them, and smack them in their fucking mouth. Way to go Congressman Ellison. Punk ass Hannity was humiliated on his own hate mongering show. Roger Aieles, were you watching? Your house boy got his ass handed to him.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to meet a 'conservative' who doesn't blindly follow the GOP party line. Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteWhat I do not understand is what is 'conservative' about loving war, guns, the death penalty, hating anyone not exactly like you, hating public education, not wanting peace, supporting the bloated and unnecessary military budget, hating teachers, unions, and anyone who actually works for a living in this nation, and being against the poor, the elderly and the hungry. None of that is CONSERVATIVE, but more like fascist. But then, these are are same folks who claim our American President is a commie socialist with fascist tendencies who hates the Bible, is Muslim, and hangs around the Muslim Brotherhood (by the way, did truthful Shelley ever find ONE Muslim Brotherhood communist member of Obama's supposedly infiltrated staff?) In other words, they will say anything to incite more hatred than they already have, and if someone gets shot, oh well.
Conservatism is a mental illness! Google it!
DeleteNow *that* was really enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteThis man put Hannity in his scummy place, and I thought he handled himself incredibly well (although you know there will be "angry black man" references somewhere. Whatever, morons).
In what country does one register as a "Conservative"?
ReplyDeleteClearly Sean knows he got spanked, he's now in major damage control, trying to ridicule Mr. Ellison any way he can. Clearly it got under his skin for him to have to use his 'bully pulpit' to address it.
ReplyDeleteHannity Follows Up On Fiery Ellison Interview: He Was ‘Ranting’ And ‘Incoherent,’ ‘Grasping At Straws’
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/hannity-follows-up-on-fiery-ellison-interview-he-was-ranting-and-incoherent-grasping-at-straws/
Hey Hannity, how does it feel to be 'PUNKED' on your own show?
ReplyDeleteHannity is like a rabid animal. And that music they put together on the Obama clips, sounded like some soundscreen music for an anti-christ movie. Fox really puts an angle and uses any wicked-sounding device for every reference to President Obama. It's disgraceful and they are the laughtingstock of news' networks.
ReplyDeleteThat demonstration showed Hannity to be the petty, bullyish, childish, popular kid in the school yard who met his match by a kid who stood up for the truth and didn't back off.
That was nice, but would have been much nicer to see Tameron Hall handle the little weasel.
