1. Any Friend Of Hannity Ain't A Friend Of Mine nt

2. Agreed. Why would those of us here care?

4. He was well liked, even by the opposition

He used to give W Bush Hell.

3. Damn that's way too young. He used to give 'em hell, as they say.

[Farmer-Rick]

5. He was a failed Democratic campaign Manager

And then a Fox commentator. He was abusive towards minorities and women, much like all fox commentators. As he got older, he got more religious and conservative.

Not a man many people here will admire.

7. Beckel

Beckel used to brag on air that he had a pass from Murdoch to say whatever he wanted, without consequence, even if it was a lie.

Then he'd go on Fox and, on occasion, lie rather than doing research and refuting what they said with the truth.

That just jumped on every last nerve that I had.

When you're on the right side, you should never have to lie, in my opinion.

9. He was great on Crossfire though

Man, I miss that show. He had some classic wars with Pat Buchanan.

6. Cal Thomas and Sean Hannity. . .throw in Michael "The Savage" Weiner and you have a trifecta of scum

I have nothing more to say.

8. Even my parents thought Cal Thomas was creepy

and they were Goldwater Republicans.
