I’d NEVER thought I’d see the day deranged kook Sean Hannity support immigration reform.

Hey HandTitty, if anyone is going to steal elections on November 6, it’s your buddies in the GOP, NOT Obama or the Democratic Party.
MMFA: Hannity Pushes Akin To Drop Out Of Senate Race After “Legitimate Rape” Comments
Contrast that to Dana Loesch, Erick Erickson, and Bryan Fischer, who have defended Akin.
The participants and content of five prominent conservative talk-radio programs contribute to increasing hatred against certain minorities, according to the report entitled “Social Networks for Hate Speech” released on Wednesday.
The study, carried out by the National Hispanic Media Coalition and UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center, analyzed the themes and content of “The Rush Limbaugh Show,” “The Sean Hannity Show,” “The Glenn Beck Program,” “The Savage Nation” and “The John and Ken Show.”
“Our study found that the ideological content of conservative talk radio has helped cultivate a social network built around talk radio hosts and their guests,” NHMC President and CEO Alex Nogales said.
“This social network targets vulnerable groups in content that is spread across affiliated social media web sites. The result is an echo-chamber of voices, both online and off, that promotes hatred against ethnic, racial, religious groups and the LGBT community on social media web sites,” Nogales said.
The investigation emphasized that 89 percent of the 102 guests on the five selected programs over a six-week period were white and 81 percent were men - like the hosts.
Among the 88 issues of interest identified during the broadcasts studied between April 2 and May 14, 2010, immigration was by far the most frequently discussed, occupying 23.9 percent of the time analyzed.
Regarding the language used, the programs referred to undocumented immigrants as “illegals,” and the comments about Muslims frequently associated them with terrorism.
Cabrera, as a result of his activism, was the victim of incitements to harassment by the hosts of The John and Ken Show.
Hosts John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou, in criticizing a bill in the state legislature to offer economic aid to undocumented students in California, announced on the air Cabrera’s cell phone number and invited their listeners to call him and express their opinion.

On The Sean Hannity Show, Fox’s Karl Rove Accuses Obama Campaign Of Attempting To Buy The Election
On Sean Hannity’s radio show today, Fox contributor Karl Rove said that the Obama campaign will attempt to win the election by ”trying to take their wallet and buying it.”
Karl Rove, of course, is the co-founder of a large Republican Super PAC.
Rove has frequently used his Fox News platform to distort the national debate and further hiscampaign to defeat Obama.
Hannity AGAIN defends birthers.
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!
