Justin's Political Corner

Sean Hannity spent an hour on the radio today continuing to deny the many hardships faced by poor Americans — including hunger — by pointing in part to the prevalence of modern appliances and the abundance of cheap foods found on a health website to support his point. At one point he gave this advice to poor households, “Quit drinking soda and drink water.”

This was after spending the majority of his time attacking Media Matters and MSNBC for publicizing his original comments on the issue, when he insisted that “this idea that Americans are going to bed hungry” is not true because “you can survive” off such cheap food staples as rice and beans.

Hannity stated that MSNBC and host Ed Schultz were “lazy” for relying on a Media Matters item that highlighted Hannity’s comments to debunk his claim that millions of Americans aren’t going to bed hungry.

Fellow conservative talk radio host Mark Levin also called in to defend Hannity from criticism by similarly attacking Schultz. Levin stated: “First of all, Mr. Ed, that you call Ed Schultz, that guy looks like he eats for about three and a half people, doesn’t he?” Hannity replied: “Now, be nice. It doesn’t look like he missed a meal, I’ll say that.”

In reality, the poor in America face hardships in areas that deeply affect their lives, such as health, education, housing, and access to healthy food and legal services — regardless of their ability to purchase a microwave oven.

Sean HandTitty is an out-of-touch doofus!
