How dare lib'ruls respond to these brave character assassins!
Listening to the swift boat imbeciles on the radio right now

The gyst of Hannity's 'interview' with them. He said 'whether you think their story is true or not, you should respect that they've earned the right to tell it"

going with that premise, let's say i think it's not true (as I do). One could say that this position would imply that I think they're liars (as I do, and rightwing hack ones at that). Then, foloowing Hannity's logic, the right thing to do is respect the right of these men to go on cable news nonstop and tell lies

pricipled conservtism rears it head yet again!

1. Nobody "earns" the right
to spew lies about a candidate or anyone else for that matter. What an idiot.

6. Right, and if that book ever really gets printed and distributed,
they're going to find themselves at the wrong end of a really nasty libel suit.

Since the book has pretty much disappeared off the radar, except at the Regnery Publishing site http://www.regnery.com/, one wonders if they will actively distribute it to anyone but right wing stink tanks.

Regnery Publishing seems to be a house devoted entirely to producing smears against Democrats. Anybody know who owns them?

2. Criminals have earned the right to commit crimes
Rapists have earned the right to rape.

Liars have earned the right to lie.

Bullshit.

They are lying and hurting America in the process.

They are lying traitors who are making things up for money and to hurt the United States and its people.

7. I'd like to earn the right to lie
Edited on Tue Aug-10-04 05:13 PM by calico1
about my age, my weight and whether or not my haircolor is natural. At least I wouldn't be hurting anyone's reputation.

:grr:

5. So why doesn't Hannity follow his own rule?
He doesn't have respect for others whose viewpoint doesn't fit with his own infantile outlook.

These, Hannity and his ilk, are very sick and willfully stupid people.

8. Didn't know Hannity.
Never watched him. Now I'm reading Franken's "Lies and the Lying Liars..."
Al has introduced me to the man.
Hannity isn't just an idiot. He's a stupid idiot.
Even more, he's a stupid lying idiot who seems totally unable to comprehend that what he says is stupid idiotic lying.
Pay him no mind.

9. You can't get a real feel for the man's colossal stupidity
until you see him on TV. However I must warn you, it could be bad for your health.
