My Dad hit me with a "strap" and I'm OK - Sean Hannity

[kentuck]

Can we get a second opinion?

[joeybee12]

1. Ok compared to what?

The ironic thing is that this is probably the one and only time Hannity has ever defended what any black guy has done.

[Gothmog]

2. I disagree-Hannity is not okay

The beatings no doubt account for his stupidity and the fact that he dropped out of college

[knownow]

35. You hit that nail on the head

I don't think he's "okay" either!

[MohRokTah]

3. No Shawn, you are NOT "OK".

You advocate using violence against hildren simply because your father abused you. You maintain the cycle of violence.

That is NOT "okay".

[JHB]

4. Well, in fairness, if he said "my Dad hit me with a strap and...

...I turned into a dirtbag lying huckster" it would contradict the "lying" part.

Plus it might (just might, mind you, no guarantee) cut into his business model.

[Hoyt]

5. My dad hit me with a belt, I'm sorta OK. But, I would never treat my kids like that or encourage

others to do so.

Love the OP. I can't imaging being Hannity's parents.

[packman]

6. Thing is his dad hit him in the head

instead of his ass. Then again , maybe daddy saw him as a complete ass. This guy should be the poster child for Unresolved Anger Issues.

[Paladin]

8. I always figured his head was his least-vulnerable location. (nt)

[madinmaryland]

33. I think that would explain why he has the nickname "slant-head". Well there are other reasons also!

[11 Bravo]

27. In fairness to his Dad, how is one supposed to tell the difference?

[Coventina]

7. Wow! That's high comedy right there!

[immoderate]

10. Yep. That headline made me LOL!

9. No, Sean. No you're not. [n/t]

[kimbutgar]

11. Ironic most righties I know tell me they had a rough childhood and were beat

They were taught you need to be tough and They had no role models in compassion, empathy and humanity.

Take a poll of conservatives you know and you will find they were not cherished children.

[Initech]

13. So that explains why conservatives have no empathy.

[Initech]

12. Oh it's merely a flesh wound!

[951-Riverside]

14. Well, he is a multi-millionare and a household name

Sure, for all the wrong reasons but his dad's investment physical abuse paid off big time.

In fact a large chunk of successful people have been victims of sexual or physical abuse.

[FSogol]

15. and it left Hannity paralyzed from the neck up.

[treestar]

38. DuZy!

[oldandhappy]

16. Reeeeealy, Sean???

You are rich, maybe that makes you OK. For me, there has to be depth of personhood, morals, caring about people.

[pokerfan]

17. Converted to gifs...

Why do I get the sickening feeling that this is the way he "rules" his house?


"I got hit with a strap. Bam, bam, bam. And I have never been to a shrink."


"I think he went far. But I don’t want to see (Peterson) get a felony. I don’t want to see this guy lose his job."

[kimbutgar]

18. I had a step Grandfather that used to threaten us with a strap like that

Mt Mother would send me to Chicago during the summers to visit my Grandmother. My step Grandfather had a leather razor strap like the one Shitty is holding.He never hit me though just threatened. I told my Mother and she told him to never threaten me like that again. The next year when I went that strap was gone.

[deutsey]

20. LOL

[Atman]

22. Never been to a shrink? What is that supposed to prove?

I've met plenty of drunks and junkies who never went to rehab. Didn't mean they shouldn't have.

[pansypoo53219]

19. i'd say he is far from 'ok' since he turned into a dick.

[gerogie2]

21. Is that why he hates...

poor people, medical insurance for all Americans and de immigrants?

[bullwinkle428]

23. I beg to differ, asshole. (Referring to Hannity if there's any question.)

[LiberalAndProud]

24. That's just funny!

Sure he's okay. To the extent that lunacy is tolerated, he's fine.

[Taitertots]

25. "OK" is not very reassuring.

My parents didn't abuse me and I'm doing much better than "OK".

[Enthusiast]

26. Hannity's dad hit him in his head. Too often.

[underpants]

28. Herb Tarlek beat his kids with a strap??

[KinMd]

29. Republicans in the House will probably introduce the "Freedom to Beat Your Children Act"

[BeyondGeography]

30. Not good, not ok

The main thing it did to me was make me afraid of my father. I think all kids are the same that way and I don't think they ever get over it.

[louis-t]

31. Musta hit him in the head a few times.

[lame54]

32. and he hasn't told the truth since

[JaneyVee]

34. You're not ok, Sean. You turned out to be someone who

Defends hitting kids with switches and belts.

[rustydog]

36. Sheeiittt! That explains EVERYTHING about you Sean!

You were seriously f+++ed up by your abusive father.
I still dislike the shit out of you.

[treestar]

37. Um, no Sean, you're not

[Liberal_Dog]

39. Oh, Sean...

I beg to differ.
