Two Comrades to Merge into ‘Obamalande,’ Says Hannity

PARIS (The Borowitz Report) – The Fox News Channel reported today that French voters have followed in the footsteps of their American counterparts by electing an openly Socialist man to the office of President.

According to Fox host Sean Hannity, the two Socialist Presidents, Francois Hollande and Barack Obama, are expected to work closely together because they share a common goal: “To make each of their countries the best possible version of France.”

Mr. Hannity said that he anticipates the two comrades to eventually merge into one transatlantic Socialist super-president called “Obamalande.”

“Remember, these two brothers-in-arms share a lot in common, besides being flaming Socialists,” he said. “They were both born outside the United States.”

1. “They were both born outside the United States.”

19. So was Mittens Rmoney's dad.

As well as grampy McSame.

2. Hannity will realize people aren't afraid of socialists

what they are frightened of is the 1% the greedy corporations that Hannity worships.

3. If Comrade Paul, wannabe Führer Paul gets his way

The republicans will elect neo-Nazi socialist Paul so Hannity will vote for Paul if r is behind his name. He should be spending time getting the Reich wing of his party lined up.

4. Umm. Ron Paul ain't hardly a socialist.

[FarLeftFist]

8. Don't tie neo-Nazi's to Socialism.

[TheKentuckian]

11. That must be a pretty damn interesting definition of socialist you have there.

Paul is essentially an economic feudalist, putting him at serious odds with any recognizable form of socialist.

5. I was about to give a serious response until I saw the link.

Funny funny.

6. andy is a hoooot.

18. Yep.

7. You go, Andy!

This is great. I was fooled until I saw the link.

9. So Speaketh

the dropout......his grandparents were born outside the US, so I guess Obama has one up on him. Somebody wake me up when he has something intelligent to say.

[Angry Dragon]

10. Hannity seems to be still eating all the shit he can find

[brettdale]

12. Hannity actually said "they were both born outside the USA"

Yeppers hes geting desperate.

[provis99]

17. no, he did not. This is satire.

[Lucky Luciano]

23. Sadly, it does not sound like satire! nt

[RZM]

13. I have to quibble wtih the Borowitz headline

This was commentary, not reporting. Though I didn't see the segment, I doubt that Hannity was reporting live from Paris or has anchored Fox's coverage of the French elections. Hannity is a commentator, not a reporter. Reporting and commentary aren't the same thing.

14. Andy is a comedian

This is satire.

[RZM]

16. LOL. Another example of how hard it can be to tell

My eyebrows were raised by the Hannity birther comment, but I bought it anyway. I should have known better. I've seen the Borowitz name before, but I'm not familiar with the site. I assumed it was a media watchdog thing.

This is why i rarely post satire on the DU

[patrice]

15. The Left hates Obama. I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that. nt

[MrModerate]

20. With regard to Hannity, it's very difficult to tell the difference between . . .

Actual quotes and total fiction. They guy has raised self-parody to previously unseen heights.

[Skittles]

24. his paranoia is running at full speed now

poor thang

[George Cauldron]

21. I'm trying to think of how Hannity could be more loathsome without him becoming a child molestor

and I'm coming up blank. He's a festering boil on the ass of humanity.

[saras]

28. Snot vampire

[sarcasmo]

22. Let's go to the fact checker.

[indivisibleman]

25. Hannity

Wow. Such insightful and brilliant commentary Mr Hannity. I am truly impressed by your persistence in continuing to say these things when they are patently untrue. And you call yourself a Catholic? Either you aren't a Catholic or being Catholic is something other than what I thought it to be. Perhaps the Catholic church should look at excommunication for you since you are unrelenting at bearing false witness. Fear God, honor the king. Oh, I suppose you missed that part.

[Grassy Knoll]

26. OMG... I Can't Believe People think this is real....

not far fetched but a still a joke.

[deacon]

27. Hannity is a pathetic ignorant loser. Go troll somewhere else hannity. n/t

[burrowowl]

29. Were that Obama

was a Socialist!

[lpbk2713]

30. Hannity is just envious because Hollande is a winner.

Unlike Hannity who is, and always will be, a pathetic loser.

[Chorophyll]

31. Holy crap people, this is satire.

I know it's hard to tell the difference between real Fox News and parody Fox News, but this one does happen to be parody.

Yikes.
