Apparently, he sucks ass. At least, that's what a man has written on a sign which he held up behind Hannity's partner Alan Colmes during a live segment of Hannity and Colmes that was captured thanks to a Tivo user. The veracity of Hannity's alleged ass sucking notwithstanding, I think we can all agree it's just plain rude to do something like this in public. The best way to tell someone they suck ass is to write it inside a card, seal the card in an envelope, don a top hat and tails, and present it to them while bowing politely. This is all laid out in chapter 13 of Emily Post's 1922 book Etiquette; it's right after the chapter on how to inform someone they're a douchebag by sewing the word into a cloth napkin. Seriously, people.Hannity does what now?

That's a typical liberal, socialist, Democrat, what ever their called. When you can't debate the facts and only the facts with someone smarter, they go to name calling and personal attacks.

1st: Those words mean three different things.
2nd: You just negated your point by doing exactly what you accused the other side of doing.

No I didn't negate my statement. Because that's what their called. I didn't call anyone an ASSHOLE or another derogatory term.
I called then what they consider them shelf.

My favorite Hannity quote was this: "No goal, no objective, not until we have those things and a compelling case is made, then I say, back out of it, because innocent people are going to die for nothing. That's why I'm against it." - Sean Hannity, 1999.
That was Hannity talking about Clinton's war in Kosovo (with 0 troops lost). What do you think he'd call somebody who said this about Bush's war (with 2,500 troops lost)? He's call them un-American. What a joke that guy is.

I'm a conservative, and I think Hannity is a douche bag. Also, Obed, "their" is possesive; they're = they are.

Sean Hannity IS a joke, just like all these other "pundits"... Regardless of political colors/labels/animals, these guys are all doing the same thing: shouting a quasi-informed opinion and getting upset when someone doesn't agree. They're entertaining at best, but certainly not to be taken seriously. And regardless of what you think of Hannity, you ought to be able to laugh at the fact that: 1) The guy went through the trouble of making that sign for a TV news host at a political rally, and 2) it's light-hearted and funny.

I wonder what's worse... name calling or making up facts and deliberate lying to the public? Hm.

I disagree. Hannity - despite the popular notion and alleged evidence to the contrary put forth by his supporters and associates on Fox News, including Alan Colmes himself, who it should be noted can't even be trusted since he is the only journalist to have ever even been seen in the same room as the suck-ass-sign-holding-guy, who incidentally, as it turns out, is in fact an amateur Sean Hannity investigative reporter and historian of sorts, which I might note is a growing and popular area of study amongst historians of all political stripes - ...does in fact suck ass.

If Hannity wasn't such a name-caller himself and such a right wing toady to the Repuglicking Party, the sign might have been inappropriate.
