Is Sean Hannity running McCain's campaign?
He has been going on and on about Ayers since Obama got the nomination.

Lord help us if the McCain campaign is taking its cues from Hannity and his ilk.

He also was pushing for Palin before too many people know who she was.

It's so hard to know how many Americans listen to his crap and actually believe it.

1. The Ayers smear is the dumbest thing ever.
Poor baby...he's probably just figuring out now that the Michelle Obama/whitey tape does not exist. RADICAL! Hannity hates America. And likes neo-Nazis.

5. But will anyone buy into it?
Clearly they have no actual ideas to run with.

Will anyone fall for this nonsense?

Why are so many RW talk show hosts are so popular?

Do people believe their BS?

She's obsessed with Ayers.

13. The McShame base wants to have everything interpreted for them!
Just too lazy or ignorant to research and think for themselves imo!

2. Hannity gets his cues from the Rove crowd.
That's ultimately where all this shit is coming from. Rove or a protege like Schmidthead.

Hannity has the intellect of a can of tuna.

9. do you believe anyone who listens to that show is going to vote for Obama?
maybe a vanishingly small percentage of masochist liberals do, but Hannity is only preaching to the choir. If this is his strategy, all it succeeds in doing is getting his amen chorus nodding harder in agreement.

15. I think some Fox News people will vote for Obama
Maybe not the fans of his radio show, but some Hannity and Combs watchers, I think, could still be up in the air.

I think there are a lot of "independents" who watch that junk, and think Palin isn't too smart or are not crazy about Bush and would be willing to give Obama a shot in spite of the rantings of Hannity and friends.

7. Actually, it's just the opposite.
Hannity gets his talking points directly from McCain's campaign.

8. He wasn't the only one.
All the lunatic fringe RW talk radio hate-mongers have been doing this. And the fact that the sane wing of the repuke party hasn't shoved these guys and gals off a cliff in order to salvage something out of the rubble of their party, is truly remarkable.

12. RW hate-radio is going in-freaking-sane over Obama being ahead...
They've tried most every little shit/smack-talk: the Hillary gambit, the Ayers gambit, the fist pump gambit; it's all failed and failing even more before their twisted eyes. With 30 days left and a fresh ratcheting every 24hrs; be looking for some of theee most fucked up shit you'll ever hear come out of the mouths republicans and no...there are no limits to their cruelty.
