    I've been watching his show a lot lately (not sure why? Self mutilation?) and I think he is. He's been harping on this arms deal to Egypt and hyping up the Muslim Brotherhood and how Israel is afraid of this deal because Morsi will use these planes and tanks to attack Israel.

    Yet, every reporter on Fox, Greta Van Sustern and Bill O'Reilly have all said on their shows, interviews, segments, etc. that Israel is not opposed to this deal at all and that Morsi doesn't have the power to control the military right now.

    That's on his own network. Yet he has been trumping this up as putting Egypt and Israel on the brink of war.

    I O' Reilly generally gets a bad rep but he is t that bad. I've said it before, hannity is the most vile piece of scum and hypocrite on this planet.

    If you call Coulter a commentator, she is even more stupid, if that's possible.

    I suppose it's sort of a Bose-Einstein condensate of dumb for the bottom-feeders of the right. Sorry.

    Is she though or is she just intentionally bombastic?

    Love Hannity. Makes me self reflect on every topic he has an opinion on and then realize the opposite is likely true.

    Ed Schultz gets the prize. Not that Hannity is any good at his job.

    A long time ago when he was only on radio, I actually respected Hannity. This is hard for even me to believe now. I actually thought he had some integrity. Now he's just a trash dispenser.

    Hannity is the worst of them all because he thinks and acts like he's a news man, and his audience buys it.

    Rush and O'Reilly and Coulter know that they are basically playing the role of a professional wrestler.

    I also hate Ed Schultz. When he starts his show, his giant head fills up the whole screen while he acts all judgmental. Ed is no Hannity, though. It's not even close.

    I first heard of Hannity when he was finishing second to Neal Boortz in the Atlanta market. He was a punk kid then and he hasn't matured much since.

    Amazingly enough, I don't entirely disagree with tallanvor on this (words I never thought I'd say). I'd put Hannity as #1 jackass on the conservative side and Schultz as #1 jackass on the liberal side. Which is worse probably largely depends on which side of that particular fence you're on. But both are epic douches.

    Is he still on TV? I thought he was done. If he was still on, he'd definitely win the prize.

    By the way, what does it say that the most influential commentators on the right all dropped out of college?

    Limbaugh
    Hannity
    Beck

    It makes perfect sense, considering they tried to turn having a Harvard degree into an insult.

    "You big city Harvard elites think you know everything!"

    I'm not sure why you guys watch that crap. Pretty much every person who hosts a show on the all-day news networks is a piece of **** tool.

    I'm no fan, but your best example is him being concerned about selling F-16s to the Muslim Brotherhood?

    Count me among that group. Guess I have no credibility
