    the video evidence isn't just obvious - it's obnoxious. the fact that Fox still parades as a news organization is only outweighed by the millions of americans who watch/believe/devote-lives-to Hannity's and Fox's programs #seanhannity

    Did anyone watch the Michael Moore interview with Hannity? He pulled the same bullshit. They were talking about health care (even tho the topic was ostensibly his Capitalism movie) and how it was better, or more accessible in Cuba. Sean ran some footage of what looked like an abandoned building (ie: there were no patients/doctors walking around, just dirty empty rooms) and tried to pass it off as a hospital. Moore just started cracking up and calling him out. Hannity promptly changed the subject.

    here's some video

    I sense some oncoming righteous indignation.

    His main point will be that it doesn't matter when the footage was from (they labeled all of it "earlier" and it was earlier!), what matters is that 50,000 people turned out and goddammit if Jon Stewart isn't an unAmerican terrorist jew bastard if he questions the will of the people! #seanhannity

    He'll just continue to lie. That's all he, and everyone else on Fox News does: lie, lie, lie. And they know they're lying. They all but admit they're lying. Because they learned long ago that if you just continue to lie long enough, it seems close enough to the truth that people just accept the lie as approximately the truth, just with a different bias. It's pretty much the basis for Fox News and the conservative movement as we know it. #seanhannity

    @Mediahohoho: But what will the lie be? I'm totally intrigued. No way he says, "Sorry. That was misleading. My fault. Won't happen again," right? But what can he say? Is he a big enough dick to blame his staff? Well, of course he is, but will he stoop that low? I can't wait. What time is this man-ape on? #seanhannity

    @Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: I think he'll brazen it out by just showing the clips that don't include the 9/12 images. Because his is an audience that will take him at his word when he says Jon Stewart is a liberal and is using his liberal bias to liberal bias me, and that's why liberals are bad and I'm good. And his audience will nod their heads and agree. And the head of everyone with a brain will explode simultaneously. At about 9:12 tonight. #seanhannity

    @Richard Petty Bourgeoisie: It will just be deflection. All he has to do is convince his stupid viewers to believe that there's a liberal witchhunt, and that they're "playing a game of gotcha when they should be addressing the concerns of real Americans that were voiced on that day."

    I'd love for this to harm his career in some way, but it won't. #seanhannity

    @momof3wildkids: Sure. That's a sucker bet. Like most conservatives, he only believes in personal responsibility when it comes to other people. In his own eyes, he is flawless and this is persecution by the liberal media establishment. He will ask you to shed a tear for him in the beer that you drink when you buy mine. I'll take mine sans salt, thanks, this guy is a major ignoramus and hypocrite and has never uttered a factually accurate sentence in his life.

    not that it will happen, but if a plain old "I'm sorry" actually happens, I guess that means some SERIOUS shit really did go down in that truce between FOX and the white house.

    The only way he should address it is: "I'm sorry." Of course, being the hot air balloon he is, he will change the terms of the issue and launch into an attack on Stewart's bias (which bias is, of course, toward the truth). Commenters, sharpen your pixels for the inevitable Hannity post later tonight or tomorrow. I'm already drooling on my keyboard. #seanhannity

    Dear [Redacted],

    I am a professional writer. Not only that, I'm capable of watching news clips and actually writing about what was said during the news clip.

    I understand that your current staff may have problems with television comprehension and using the written word to accurately describe events.

    I'd be more than willing to provide coaching services for your bloggers and/or take up some of their responsibilities

    Love,

    Bart

    P.S. Unlike Glenn Beck, I am proud to say that I didn't kill a girl during a cocaine fueled rage in 1990.

    It was 1992.

    @drunkexpatwriter: Dear Bart,

    Glenn Beck has a better sense of humor than you. I understand that sometimes things on the internet have subtext. I'm sorry you can't accurately understand it. Maybe it wasn't placed close enough to the surface, as evidenced by some smart commenters below! It has since been changed. But at least they didn't invoke the Holy Name, or were complete dicks. I'm not going to cater to morons, or asshole commenters. Thanks for losing your star, and in fact, your ability to comment.

    Watching this video without being adequately prepared (perhaps a blow dart laced with curare?) is like channel-surfing and falling into a wormhole that radiates some mutant strain of reactionary porn. For the first few seconds, you're aroused in the worst way possible--moved to potential violence. Which then gives way to an ever-increasingy slack-jawed, dull-eyed state of stupefaction, leaving you simultaneously numb and raw at the same time.

    As if it was ever in doubt, Evil exists. It leers as it drowns in its own bloated sense of self-satisfaction and iimportance, only coming up for air to make one more butter-knife observation for the rabble in the cheap seats...

    Then....hey--Wait a second! What happened? Last thing I remember I clicked on the little white triangle, and the rest is all a bad dream, right? Fellas? Back me up here....

    Ummm, the summary directly contradicts the content of the clip, and the clip itself is mostly devoid of content. Beck does not say that he won't get the shot and ridicules the idea of a conspiracy behind it. That Kamer decided to blog on this clip at all is...odd. That he decided to make up craziness about individuals who demonstrate actual, demonstrable craziness on a daily basis is...sad.

    Truthiness is for the Right, Mr. Kamer. Isn't it?
