Hannity responds to news about his real estate holdings:

"It is ironic that I am being attacked for investing my personal money in communities that badly need such investment and in which, I am sure, those attacking me have not invested their money."

1. "criticism from poor people is meaningless to me!"

[manor321]

2. Disclosure

He's again trying to deflect from his disclosure problem, which he never did.

3. Personal money?

He’s probably been helping the Russians with their money laundering.

5. THIS!

9. And didn't he get HUD assistance from the government?

I'm not certain how this works, but it sounds rather shady that with all his "personal money" he deserves a handout. I may be misinformed.

12. Im not sure either.

I thought you had to personally live in a HUD home for a certain time period, too.

4. Now, I'm not a bettin' man...

...but I bet there is a lot more to this story than that!

6. Another example of just how HORRIBLE our version of capitalism is, look who is rewarded!

7. He doesnt even understand what ironic means.

It would be ironic if they DID have money in the same things.

8. He probably thinks "it's a Wonderful Life" was a tragedy

They came so close to getting the Pottersville paradise

10. Why the need to hide his identity through shell companies?

If he’s investing in poor communities, why would he not want anyone to know?

Republicans know how to lie, cheat and spin the truth, not much else.

11. He's not investing in communities

He's pillaging them

[hueymahl]

13. To be fair (and I am not sure why we need to be)

Merely buying foreclosed real estate is neither illegal nor unethical. If we try to make it more than what it is, we kind of look foolish.

That said, he his hardly investing in poor communities out of a sense of Noblesse Oblige.

I fully expect there is a lot more to this story.

14. ...
