18. Hannity Fuels Right-Wing Terrorists, Suggests Feds May Kill Cliven Bundy

It’s hard to know exactly where to start with this clip from Sean Hannity, Cliven Bundy’s biggest fan, and the only person on Fox whose name ironically triggers the spellcheck auto-correct “Humanity.” What makes that especially ironic is that in this interview, it’s pretty clear that Hannity A) takes credit for making Bundy a household name, and B) would love to incite some violence in his name for extra-great headlines.

At this point, we’re starting to wonder if Rupert Murdoch and his scion reporters run on blood as utterly as any mythical Carpathian count, made ever youthful by life-sustaining gore, and powerful by human suffering. Apparently dissatisfied with the notion that he won’t have dead martyrs to talk about, Hannity spends the entire segment giving Bundy and his children quotes from Harry Reid and the BLM meant to provoke panic and violence on the part of Bundy’s militants. He begins, of course, with the “Fox! News! ALERT!” graphic, to the sound of bells tolling for thee.

For the next several minutes, Hannity chats with Cliven and his two children, working the “they’re coming to get you, Elanor” angle as hard as possible. He succeeds in getting Bundy to effectively commit to a violent response, if anyone but the Sheriff of Clark County comes to arrest him.

Hannity seems satisfied with the declaration of willing bloodshed, though it remains to be seen whether Bundy’s clan is planning on using their (apparently swimming) women and children as human shields again. Or, whether they’re planning on extending their little camping trip forever, because there’s just so much work and means of support for 1,000-plus people in the middle of Clark County, Nevada. Maybe they’ll eat the cows.

But, as is standard procedure for Fox, Hannity is content for the moment simply to consume the miasma of impending bloodshed, while Bundy sits back, does interviews, and consigns his tools to die for “his” New Deseret.
