More common pleas for survival
Sean Hannity lies, and lies again
I was listening to Sean yesterday, and its not like in the last few weeks when I didn’t blog he didn’t lie, I was just so overwhelmed by the lies and the fear coming out of his show I could not put it up here; it was too overwhelming. So anyway, yesterday Sean was speaking too Bortz and Pat Buchanan, a true brain trust of angry white guys. So they were talking about the economic slow-down (i.e. Recession) and instead of saying what most are saying, there is plenty of blame to go around, they are focusing on a particular bill (you can look it up I am not going too) made into law in 1995 By Bill Clinton from a democrat and it was to give low income people in the inner city loans that were sub-prime and they would qualify etc. etc. and this is the true reason why this whole economy is in toilet. Not the 10 billion a month in Iraq, not the huge tax breaks given to billion dollar companies, but the poor is to blame for the rich getting screwed. Ironic twist I know.
Before I really get into the problem here is really what’s at stake, see after Reagan when the poor was screwed, no one cared since it was just the poor, I was one of them. After Bush 1 when the poor were screwed, no one cared it was just the poor, I was on of them. After Clinton the whole country did so well in collecting of taxes we had a surplus…still complaints by the rich. Now after bush the problem isn’t the poor or the middle class that’s getting screwed, no one cares I am one of them (middle class about) but the RICH are getting screwed and that’s why their is an urgency. If the Rich don’t contribute to candidates, they don’t get their nice dinners etc., or trips or whatever, so they write out blank checks to their buddies, Bernake sure is.
Ok all that aside, IF, now for the sake of Devils advocate lets say this is true the bill in 1995 set up by a democrat and signed off by a democrat is the Root of these bad loans, here we are 13 years later. IF this is the case and it started a huge ripple effect that is bringing our country to its knees, are we then to also believe that is happened over night, or are we to believe it was a slow moving process; if it is a slow moving process, we would have SOME indication its coming would we not, so lets say 6-8 years after this horrible bill was introduced we would see some indication of it hurting our econonmy (forclosures would be increasing, defaults would be increasing) there would be some warning of the underlying issues and some caring member of Congress, lets use John McCain for sake of argument, would say, “hold up. There is an issue here and we need to rescind this law.” and if Senator McCain (put your fav senator, congress person here- Dem or Rep) cared so much he would have stopped this bad law and reversed to some extent the issues with the sub prime mortgage bust.
In fact 6-8 years after the 1995 law went into effect was 2001-2003 when a complete republican congress and President were in power and if anything like this came to the floor, which it didn’t, it would easily pass and all the Democrats could do was sit and cry in their beer, or wine spritzers or whatever. But it didn’t. In fact if it happened in the last 2 years ( not just the last two months) when the senate was about 50/50 with a few persuasions and decent bill I am sure this could have slid past and ended some of these issues. But it hasn’t happened.
So whether this 1995 bill was to blame for the sub-prime debacle or not remains to be seen, but there has been ample time, in fact its been almost 15 years since it was made law, and nothing removed it from the books. Hannity is very good at the magician tricks, look over here while something is going on over there. Look behind the curtain on this guy and you will see he does indeed lie everyday. Its like PT Barnum says, ” Say it loud enough long enough and people will believe it.”
TMZ
I haven’t updated in a while and I got this guy at work who thinks I should update like he does, during work hours. I mean its hysterical, you ask him what he’s working on and he says whatever then you go to his blog and its was updated within the hour. So I gave him a great video with John McCain, flash and all, and I told him I would do a guest bit each week, and i don’t update here. SO this is an update…duh, and I embedding one of my favorite YouTube series and since Felicia is doing real acting now, the guild will probably not update anytime soon. So I am going with Ponch in this one.
Anyway, its odd I am up this late but I am confessing. I have a horrid secret. I don’t watch much trash TV. I don’t watch reality TV and I don’t waste a lot of my time getting into celebrity lives. But I tell you I love TMZ. It’s ridiculous. Its people’s jobs to watch for stars and video tape them or photograph them doing nothing. That’s the whole show, random off camera pops yelling at the stars to get a reaction.
Anyway…heres RP #20:
Faux news #2
SO I read on faux news this article on McCain and how he wants to postpone the debate Friday so he can focus on the economic he and the republicans started with deregulation. So I write this:
coward!! He screwed it all up with his deregulation and now he thinks hes the only one that can help!!! as bad as Palin thinking she is the only one that can help the country when she has no clue how to run her family, they obviously need her more than we do. I can’t wait until nov 5th when she can focus on her children and grandchild’s birth like a good parent
and send it out to a friend here who is voting for McCain, and I tell her how Faux news never post my comments, they are always screened, fair and balanced my newts. But this time they do. SO I send out the link to people here who are political this is the link:
I refresh the page, my comment is gone and only positive ata boys are left. So it looks like everyone who commented is all in favor of this move, and there were plenty that were against this. So it funny you hear so much how Fuax is fair and balanced, and how the NY Times and CNN are all mouth pieces for the dems, well here is proof of how Fox is a propaganda machine for the Republicans. DO not be a status-quo anything, listen to the other side. Even if you do not agree do not let someone filter the info to you and tell you what to think, think for yourself. DO not get your news from Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh or Neil Bortz…they are liars drug addicts and atheists figure it out on your own. See with the eyes God gave you and see how bad we are getting screwed.

Sean Hannity Lies #4
OK I haven’t done one of these is a few weeks. Not that I haven’t heard them, not that I couldn’t fill all the electrons on the internet with this stuff, but as I am watching Hannity and Newt talk about that Woman from Alaska, I will get to her soon enough, but Newts new book, “Drill here, Drill now, Pay less”.
How many times have you heard Hannity talk about Barrack speaking, thumping bumper sticker politics and how they don’t listen to people and these sound bite politics do not work; Its one of those everyday kinds of things. Well tonight as Newt came on Hannity said, and I am pretty much quoting him, “Drill here, drill now pay less, hey I have that bumper sticker on my car.” Now wait a minute; McCain said that at the RNC in his speech, that’s Gingrich’s book and Hannity has said it many, many times on his show. That is bumper sticker mentality, which he reels against almost everyday on his show. Double standard, lies and dishonesty this is an everyday thing with him and the kool-aid drinkers don’t pick up how everything he dies is ok BUT if you disagree with him you are not patriotic and not an American.
This may not be class warfare, that they accuse Obama of doing, but sure is a firing up of us and them. In these I try not to take it personally, I think Hannity is good man, a true American and a Patriot. But these are areas that he uses double standards, lies outright and makes politics a muddled mess. These are things that guys like Hannity speak with such force you think they are honest and they know what they are talking about and I try to show you what they are really saying.
I will get on Palin maybe tomorrow, I gots some to say about Ms. Moose hunter 2k8.

Fox news
And they never print my stuff so here is what I think of this story
Wow someone other than Fox misusing quotes to make the person look stupid. Making the person look ridiculous in some lights…much like Hannity does everyday, misquoting Rev. Wright, Obama himself, cutting the quotes to make them look ridiculous. How about this…instead of all the unnecessary crap we talk issues, not banter over context and intent. Why is any of these guys fiddling while Rome is burning?? Galveston may be washed off the map, my area is in a drought, our economy sux, lets not bring that up to any of these guys. Our country is actually crumbling and all we are talking about are pigs in lipstick, hockey mom BS and what Palin meant by this or that. ENOUGH!!! Fix this country without the infighting or get the hell out of politics, and FAUX News do it without the constant finger pointing and talk about this S@$% Hitting the fan and actually be fair an balanced and say HEY, Every day a major corp comes forward with books that are several million dollars in the red, our country has a huge debt owned by China, Muslim nations are buying property in this country, unemployment and inflation are up, and all the News corps and politians are doing about it is kindergarten actions. GROW Up!!!
Sean Hannity Lies #3
This is the third one not counting the extras in my stuff on the Palin addition to the McCain ticket.
Rev Wright was a big deal for a while, he said some things that were taken out of context but still pretty shocking and he didn’t back down. Sean has a habit of repeating this kind of stuff, since like PT Barnum says if you say it loud and long people start to believe. I am not going to defend what Rev. Wright said. I go to a very conservative southern Baptist church and my pastor is not up for disappointing the Republicans, he has an autographed picture in the office of GW, so I think should Sean come in one Sunday morning he would be pretty happy with what my preacher says; well maybe not last week when he kind of went off how Catholics pray to idols and add things to the bible to keep their denomination going…other than that I am sure Sean would be fine. BUT I digress, Sean repeatedly, and that’s not just every day it like every fourth caller, goes off on the Reverend Wright stuff, saying Obama sat there for 20 years and did not notice this kind of stuff in the sermons.
Now if you watch the clips that were main stream and if you haven’t seen them I am sure you could find them on Youtube, but the earliest one that I have seen at the time this blew up was 2001. Not sure which one this was, or what he was saying, none of them were really great but they were what they were and I am not going to get into Wrights side of them, its for him to answer too not I. But the earliest is 2001 that I heard and saw. All of them seemed to have some sort of date on them and that was the oldest. 7 years ago. So what has Sean done, almost from the start of this scandal…if you can call it that; he lengthened the years of these statements to the entire time Obama was at this church. There is no proof to one side or the other what Wright was saying more than 7 years ago. I would give Hannity the benefit of the doubt and say Wright probably was saying this stuff 8 years ago, since that was about the time Bush took office and the voting debacle etc. But it was stretched to 20 years by Hannity and now is accepted as truth, even though there is no evidence that Wright was saying these disparaging remarks over 7 years ago.
Obama may have been in that church for 20 years, but the fact that there is no public evidence of what Wright was speaking about more than 7 ago, at least in the sermons that were picked up on by the Hannity crew. Also consider this. Suggesting Reverend Wright missed few Sundays preaching, I know my pastor misses maybe 5-10 a year with travel, sickness guest speakers etc. Wright we’ll say preaches 42 Sundays a year. Excluding special services, funerals, weddings holidays we will say he has preached in that church about 840 sermons in the 20 years Obama has gone there. That’s a lot. That’s just Sunday but let’s move on. I think I saw 7 clips of comments that Hannity and his cronies were putting out but let’s say I am wrong and err on the side of 10. 10 incendiary over the top political sermons that pissed off Sean Hannity…and if there were more they would have aired them and continue to air them until the election. So if Rev. Wright made a sermon of this caliber over a 20 year time span at the pulpit, he gave one of these sermons on average once every two years; that’s just an average but it’s all we really have at this time looking at the math. Now with Obama could it not be possible for him to miss a Sunday or two. I am very involved in my church, I work in our sound booth, I am in special meetings during the week that the pastor does not go to but I am there and I miss here and there, one or two a year. Rarely but it does happen I think everyone does. So with the average so low as to what this guy has said that pissed off Hannity and the possibility that Obama could have missed one or two of his sermons, with Senate business and what not; its funny how Hannity says Obama was running for prez the day after he was sworn in and how during that time he ran all over the country but he has been in the Church with Reverend Wright every weekend during that same time…ridiculous. So would it not be possible that Obama only saw half of these nasty sermons that got Hannity and others up in arms?? I think so. I think that is a reasonable number, especially since in the last 4 years Obama was in DC, and a lot of this stuff came over the last 7; in fact that would exclude him from seeing at least two of these speeches just in that time by our original average numbers.
So during Obama’s time in this church he saw 5 sermons that were offensive to Hannity and taken out of context and insulting to America. I bet I sat through about that many at my church that would be offensive to some and I was like-Whoa during my time in the past 5 years at our church. Once I put a prayer request in at my church where our pastor was going off on how wonderful Bush was and I put a prayer request in that we need a true Christian in the white house…I was pulled aside and talked to about that one. But none the less I go to the Church…because I go to hear about God. I read Fox, CNN and a few other things to learn about politics. And the two are different. I keep my politics out of my church or I could not go there. I am a moderate at best, and I somewhat liberal environmentalist and socially so I have some issues with what this government has done over the past 8 years. But I do not hold that against my pastor, and maybe Obama didn’t either.
You can say I am nuts, but you really can’t argue with the numbers. Prove, or ask Hannity to prove that these sermons went on more than the last 7 years. Otherwise its another lie…and this is one he says every hour of everyday. When you really start to listen to what Sean says and how he does what he does, you start to see this stuff and it is so infuriating. I am not saying that Obama is the second coming…hell according to the Bible this may be the beginning of the Anti-Christ with the world coming together one world Government and all that. I do not care, I am ready. I am ready for the reckoning. I don’t think Sean is so maybe that’s why he hates Obama so…I don’t know.

Sarah Palin
Ok so John McCain, the maverick, pulls this one out of his butt. Was it a good move…absolutely. Why?? Well it tries to steal the woman vote of all the people pissed off Hillary is not on Obama ticket and that in fact it is not Clinton Obama…which I thought it should be in Jan, that he should step aside because He is under qualified and he could get some training backing Hillary. I called that a 16 year ticket. He didn’t and we are where we are. But you can not call Obama inexperienced and call this woman, Sarah Palin, Experienced. She was elected Gov in 2006; so she was sworn in 2007 and its 2008…21 months later. She doesn’t have 2 years on the job and she could be president. She is one Hooter’s dip inspired infarction away from being president. Just because she could tell a bunch of loggers and truckers what’s what in Alaska does not make her any more qualified than Obama…lets be clear; and Hannity IS saying this so this counts as a Hannity Lies as well. I am not knocking her; I like what I read about her in wiki-pedia. She has fought corruption, IN HER OWN PARTY. This makes me laugh since guys like Hannity act like there is no corruption in the republican party and when there is it’s a figment of the democrats imagination and they made it all up. I am sure her getting rid of scores of crooked republicans is still Bill Clintons fault. But she does seem honest, pro-life, but ultimately this is more of the John McCain pander party 2008. He pandered for an hour with Rick Warren, and now he is pandering to woman voters by this nomination. And do not act like his age is an issue, that if he dies in office all will be well, Pittsburgh had that and now they have the countries youngest mayor in a major city. If he wanted to pick a woman the top of my list for that from repubs is Condi Rice. Smart, on the job training done, knows foreign policy, well with economics, although the rest of this admin is not. And that would be a bit pandering to the black vote, but not as much as this is for the women who are disenfranchised with the democrats right now.
This right now is a flip flopped ticket on both ends, but that addition of Biden sures up foreign policy and some economics, this woman brings little to the table and I would like to know how that can not be considered, by guys like Hannity, and inexperience under qualified VP. If what Obama lacks is real world experience when he has worked with real Americans, not the clones that call into Hannity , around Chicago, he has an impressive degree he has been a senator for about 4 years, twice as long as the Palin has been Governor, not running fro President the second he was sworn in as Hannity and Dick Morris said today on the Hannity drive time(Hey another lie, I am on a roll) and has been a part of some legislature, one of which I highlighted on a You tube rant, raising minimum MPG that was Vetoed by Bush and I think overridden by the Senate, a bill he actually sponsored. You can check Barack’s Wiki and please check out Palin, although I do believe a good woman and a good leader, a lot like Obama I do not think she is ready for this run and to be one bad heart beat away from President. I think people like Hannity said Hillary would be weak in foreign policy since most Muslim nations do not respect woman. One thing Hillary is NOT is weak. Palin does not look like she has an ounce of foreign policy credentials and she is going to be expected to handle some of that and should, God forbid, her and McCain get in for one let alone two terms he will be 80 at the end and she will be more seasoned but at what cost during HER on the job training.
I think every criticism of Obama, accept for the obvious personal lies and slander, that Hannity, Dick Morris, Karl Rove ( the dark one) and others have been made need to stop if they are not going to honest about this woman. They can not say, “She is not ready to lead but, she’s only VP. “That position needs to be ready at any second to step in and take over. A weak VP is not an option. I do not think Obama is a weak choice. I think he is a good man and will with dignity represent this country if he gets a chance, and if anything happens, God Forbid, Biden can easily step in. I think McCain is a good man, I do not agree with what he is doing at this time with his obvious pandering to the voters trying to be something he is not ( a republican) but this woman, Palin, weakens his ticket more than strengthens it. I think it was weak to begin with I think McCain is very beatable, I think he will beat himself in the long run, with Bush helping all the way until November, but I think Palin does not raise much interest only questions of his admin and I think he made a mistake. A wonderful woman, at least on paper, but not a great choice and not what his ticket nor this country needs.

Sean Hannity Lies
Sean Hannity Lies #2
This is the second one I am doing, I want to touch on the speeches from this week, so I will have to get back to that this long weekend…not that I don’t have other stuff to work on, but I think since its history and all I should do something. Anyway, since Obama spoke last night and Hannity always says Obama speaks in “Bumper sticker slogans” I would point out, no cross reference necessary on this one, that so does he. Obama supporters will yell out, “Yes we can”, which I think is a good slogan, a positive message, like him or not. Well Sean has his own, he says it at least once a day and McCain echoed it when he did as he was told at the Rick Warren Forum (say that 5 times fast) which of Course is, “Drill here, Drill now, Pay less” total bumper sticker, and totally untrue.
If the oil companies got all the oil from shale, from the continental shelf, which the amount there is unknown its from a 20 year ago study of that area and they are not sure how much was there then, its an estimate and not a good one, but if they could get the oil from our country safely, cleanly, saving every drop. Then they would say they can not afford to contain it and prices still need to stay high. Once we build what they need for that, then would say well we still don’t have refineries, we haven’t built any in 30 years. Once we build that they would have another excuse and we (common folk) would still get screwed. Exxon is making 40 billion next year, guaranteed, they will make more the year after. They do not care how they make it but they will make it at or expense, so first do not believe the slogan and second do not fall for the Obama camp is the only with Bumper sticker logic, Sean is actually guilty too.

Sean Hannity Lies
Hannity Lies #1
I am going to break down some common lies spoken about everyday or at least several times a week on the Sean Hannity talk show. He often speaks of people “drinking the Kool-aid” of the democrats or Obama or the Clintons. So let’s talk about people who drink Sean’s Kool-aid and just accept these lies and think they are the truth and goes on believing instead of looking into things for themselves.
Sean is the second most listened too talk show host and that number is in millions so 11 million people listen to Sean everyday.
CNN who he hates (the Clinton New Network) he calls it in prime-time gets under 1 million as on July 1 of this year. Yet Sean regularly talks bad about the mass media . I got news for him and all his kool-aid drinkers **whisper** he is the mass media.
I like Sean, I agree with maybe 20% of what he says, I am being very generous there. I Think he’s a nice guy and I do listen to about an hour or so a day, not the 3 he suggests. I am not Hannitized, I see through the crap he spews. Read this blog for a few weeks, I will not just throw junk up here and not prove it, read and do the research and see how much Sean Hannity lies.

Political Comparison
I am a pretty political person to begin with. I read a lot of Fox, cnn, don’t really follow the blogosphere, but I do watch some on truth dig and they are so far left they are creeping up behind you. So with under 70 days to the election I am in a constant state of ready about politics.
My cube neighbor sent me some stuff yesterday and it was straight propaganda from the McCain camp. the normal fear mongering that the Republicans do each and every election cycle. I sent to her a link to cnn about some thing to counter her assertion of how bad our economy and all that will be under a Obama regime. I think if you do what you always did you are going to get what you always got. Right now we got a recession, we can’t keep going the direction we are going in, we are heading down fast and needing to start digging.
We also discussed military spending since her husband is in the military, and she told me they are doing better under bushie than under Clinton. I can respect that, looking at self interest is extremely important to me as well; and the sacrifices she and her husband do go through they do deserve more money. SO I did some digging as to the military budgets under Clinton and bush one and found some interesting stuff. Clinton did raise military spending toward the end of his 8 years, and as it was said, it was to appease republicans trying to impeach him, and this thread shows spending over a few years, and up to the current level.
I do feel under Obama military spending will go down, I think it should to some extent, we definitely need to do something. We are totally drowning in the debt the last eight years brought us. Bottom line with these two guys do your homework. I listen to Hannity a lot and he is so full of crap, I am going t start to highlight his lies which he accepts as truth and spew everyday or at least several times a week about Obama, himself and the left. Thats a different post. I want to post on how I think the dems need to shift their platform and purge some of this left wing influence to rise back to a credible party.
Bottom line, if right now IF you could vote for Bush would you?? Would you accept another 4 years of record bankruptcies and record profits for oil companies-and record gas prices for us. Would you vote that back in or take a different approach. That is pretty much the voting going on soon. McCain is the same, he wasn’t until he became the front runner. Now he is a Bush clone and I for one cannot take another 4 year of a bush wannnabee. Go Obama.
