1. Watching Hammity "sparring" on video is still one of the funniest things I've seen. nt

2. Be Bad-Ass?

He went to Hannity.

3. Yeah right! Most likely had to run home everyday after school to keep from getting the shit knocked out him

by classmates.
Remember when he said he let himself be water boarded for charity?

[Ocelot II]

5. And he never actually did it.

4. Seriously? Justifying fisticuffs as an adult solution

to a disagreement? Oh I forgot, we're not talking about adults here.

7. Grown Children

Hapless idiots = Republicans.

That party has devolved at such a rapid rate that even science won't be able to explain.

11. Science can easily explain it by pointing out that

They weren't all that far up the evolutionary ladder to begin with.

8. He was probably the type of bully

that if you gave him one punch that would shut him up for good.

[multigraincracker]

9. I wonder if he went to a public high school?

Like TFG, I went to military high school, reform school as referred to by Mary Trump. Saws lot of that there.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

12. I suspect he went to Catholic school

But I don't want to be contaminated by looking up anything about him on my computer.

10. If you play games with your friends and end up "throwing fists" every day then you are an asshole.

13. "Tough-guy" Hannity was the wimp that refused to be waterboarded. (Media Matters)

Gina Haspel’s nomination to be director of the CIA has reinvigorated the long-simmering controversy over the George W. Bush administration’s decision to turn America into a torture state. Haspel, who oversaw the torture of one detainee at a CIA black site in 2002 and later engineered the destruction of videotaped evidence of torture, is being held up as a hero by conservative pundits who celebrate her “toughness.”

One of those pundits, Fox News’ Sean Hannity, has spent the past week defending Haspel and advocating for the torture techniques she implemented. “We can't have evil exist in this world without doing something to counter it,” he said on his March 13 show. “And if it means that terrorists caught on the battlefield are forced to answer questions, well, sadly that’s what you have to do because you are dealing with evil.”

This line of argument resurrects an issue related to the torture controversy that has remained conspicuously unresolved for nearly a decade: Sean Hannity promised to be waterboarded but still hasn’t done it.

Hannity has long been an advocate for torture, and one of his more curious pro-torture strategies is to dismiss its unpleasantness while simultaneously lauding its effectiveness. Back in April 2009, while speaking to actor Charles Grodin on his Fox News show, Hannity said: “Is it really so bad to dunk a terrorist's head in water and make him talk? Tell me what's wrong with that.” Later in the program, the two had this exchange:

CHARLES GRODIN: Have you ever been waterboarded?

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): No, but Ollie North has and I've talked to him about it.

GRODIN: And how -- would you consent to be waterboarded?

HANNITY: Yes.

GRODIN: So we could get the truth out of you?

HANNITY: Yes. Sure.

GRODIN: We can waterboard you?

HANNITY: Sure.

GRODIN: Are you busy on Sunday?

HANNITY: I'll do it for charity. I'll let you do it.

GRODIN: I wouldn't do it.

HANNITY: I'll do it for the troops' families.

14. When I see Hannity, I see the face of anyone who said nasty things in school to me.

That's probably why I can't watch or stand Fox News. Fuck Fox News.

[Ohio Joe]

15. I don't buy it for a second

Hannity doesn't have the stones to even play those sports much less 'drop the gloves'. He is a coward.

[redqueen]

16. Bad enough that he's defending that behavior among children

who are most definitely old enough to know better but society is still stuck with so many espousing 'boys will be boys' type defenses for what is simply toxic bullshit

But defending it between grown ass men?



How is anyone not ashamed to support these troglodytes?
