For years, I've listened to Sean Hannity. Since 2007, I've listened to and heard the repetitiveness of him. I think he has adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. I'm not a doctor but I can certainly tell you how he acts on television, radio and social media is typical of a hyperactive man.
Every August, I often get to do another edition of The Sean Hannity Word Vomit.
It's dedicated to the country's most hated far-right agitator. He is by far the most annoying, condescending, bigoted and downright stupid media personality. He has an audience of millions and profits yearly off the divisiveness of this country.
He waited a long time to become the most watched and listened to media personality. Believe me he had to follow Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly for years as the second.
Now as the reigning king of talk and cable news, the agitator has more clout. The media has been focusing on him and his close relationship with the President of the United States. They believe that he is influencing Trump's governing. Many in the White House grumble that Hannity is causing chaos.
His years of peddling bullshit helped elected Donald J. Trump to be our president. Now he's lavishing in being the unofficial advisor of the president. Hannity is doing so many unethical things as a media personality it's mind-boggling. Many other personalities were punished doing far less than what he's done.
No one is willing to stop him over at Fox News, Cumulus Entertainment and iHeartMedia.
Rupert Murdoch is relishing in the revenue of Fox News and its primetime line up.
Fox Corporation which owns Fox News Channel hasn't reign in on Hannity.
Hannity was caught up in numerous controversies and not once he's been either suspended or fired out the cannon.
What will be Sean Hannity's most notable controversy? (Expect far-right trolls to pick the dumbest answers)
Hannity failed to disclose that he had personal dealings with Cohen. He has hosted Cohen on his program numerous times without acknowledging him as personal attorney. Hannity quickly denied he ever had any affiliation with Cohen and spoon fed Trump during his trip to Vietnam about Cohen apologizing to him personality about that.
Hannity has failed to acknowledge Trump's other attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Jay Sekalow, Victoria Toensing and Joe diGenova worked for him as well.
Hannity also was featured in a campaign video without proper acknowledgement to Fox News.
Hannity and Jeanine Pirro were special guest at a rally in Missouri. Trump announced that future senator Josh Hawley, Mike Pence, Rush Limbaugh, Pirro and Hannity would be guest at his get out to vote rally. Hannity quickly denied that he would be on stage at a political rally. He said that he was doing an interview with the president. That turned out to be a lie. Trump immediately called Hannity onstage to give statements. When Hannity appeared on stage, he immediately called the media "fake news" and it pissed off Fox News hosts and people behind the scenes. Hannity got a stern talking to but no punishment.
Hannity has a history of promoting the far-right/white extremist QAnon kookspiracy. He has been on this fixation of the "deep state" and how Hillary Clinton, the losing candidate rigging an election to ensure Trump would never win. He has hosted numerous agitators on his right wing carnival and television program without checking credentials. He has hosted Sara Carter, an opinion contributor who he touts as an "investigative journalist" numerous times on his show. I don't want to start rumors but I believe that Hannity and Carter had an affair.
He invited her to go with him to Singapore, Vietnam, the United Kingdom and Sweden. During those times, Trump met with Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin. Hannity never took his wife or children with him on these trips.
Hannity was told many times to not call Sara Carter, The Hill's opinion contributor John Solomon and Greg Jarrett as "investigative journalists." He ignores the rules and keep calling them "great journalists."
He also continues to allow Sebastian Gorka, a disgraced White House official on his show despite Fox News banning him from the building.
Hannity's children also got a leg up from Trump and his administration. Hannity managed to pull strings and got his son and his tennis team a visit to the White House. Hannity is hoping to get his children into elite conservative-leaning colleges with the help of Trump and U.S. Education Secretary Betsy Devos.
It was revealed that Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson gave Hannity a sweetheart deal when it came to refurbishing homes in the metro Atlanta area. Hannity and his partners made $100 million selling off apartments and rental homes. Some residents complained that their properties are dilapidated and didn't know that far-right agitator was one of the main landlords.
He has hosted Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks on his program. Assange, at the time was living in an Ecuadorian embassy in London was warned numerous times to not speak publicly to the press without permission from the government. Assange ignored the rules and allowed far-white troll Chuck Johnson, former lawmaker Dana Rohrabacher, Pamela Anderson and Hannity into the embassy. Assange continuously promoted the notion that a former Democratic National Committee worker gave him the John Podesta emails and helped Wikileaks hack into the DNC's emails.
That led to Hannity running the Seth Rich murder kookspiracy. For weeks, Hannity has ran the notion that Rich gave Wikileaks the DNC emails. That was proven false. The Russian government and its intelligence agencies ran a campaign to tarnish Rich. The former DNC staffer was murdered in Washington, DC in a botched robbery. To this day, Hannity, Alex Jones and others continue to believe that Rich had a part in the Wikileaks scandal.
Sean Hannity is the number one talk radio host and cable news host in the United States. With that power, he has managed to indoctrinate millions of listeners and viewers.
Those listeners and viewers will likely become potential white terrorists.
Some of those terrorists often cite far-right agitators like Hannity as one of their influences.
Nevada rancher and militia movement leader Cliven Bundy got media coverage over his cattle grazing into a federal protected land. In 2014. Hannity led the way in a federal standoff where Bundy and his armed supporters were vowing to attack U.S. government agents who wanted to serve him a warrant for violating federal law. Hannity at first believed that Barack Obama was punishing the "forgotten man" and believed Bundy had a right to do whatever he pleased. A week later, Hannity had to distance himself from the rancher after he made racist remarks about Black people.
Bundy as well as former caller and known white extremist Hal Turner believe Hannity is a closet racist and huckster. They believe he comes into a controversy with all the grandeur and backs away when it suits his purposes.
I remember Hannity got a woman fired from a call center. He and his producers made a prank call to the Affordable Care Act Marketplace. He talked to a woman named Earline and asked her personal and unethical questions about the ACA (Obamacare). He force the woman to tell his audience that Obamacare was not living up to its expectations. He got her fired from her job. He promised to help the woman get another job. He even offered a measly $20,000 to help with her rent and child's expenses. He promised to keep up with her in the future. Five years later, no mention of Earline. He never got in trouble for that.
I had to take a break from his word vomit for nearly two months. I had gotten tired of him constantly reminding his audience of Hillary Clinton's emails, FISA warrants and the Christopher Steele Trump dossier. I bet you some of his listeners get tired of him bringing up Clinton everyday on right wing carnival and cable news program.
It's like he's still stuck on 2016 and not today.
Now in the wake of two mass shootings in the United States, as expected, Hannity would run to the defense of Trump.
He immediately went into the political views of one of those white terrorists. This is one of the usual asinine themes of far-right agitators. They often try to label mass shooters and potential terrorists as "registered Democrats" in order to deflect from the fact these terrorists have easy access to firearms.
Matter of fact, the far-right and the National Rifle Association claims that all white mass shooters have mental illness. That's a deflection from addressing white nationalism and gun violence.
He claims that the Democrats and the junk food media "rush to judgement" when it comes to tragedies in America.
Given that Trump has whipped up his supporters with rhetoric many see as racist and divisive, Hannity has been constantly trying to denounce those who criticize him. Hannity constantly brings up Barack Obama, the former U.S. president he's demonized throughout his two terms.
Just today on his right wing carnival, he brought up Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Stormy Daniels, immigrants, radical Islam, Jeremiah Wright, Fast & Furious, Freddie Gray, Bill Ayers, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Chicago, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), shithole, Henry Louis Gates (and the Cambridge Police).
None of them had anything to do with the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton.
Hannity was trying to repetitively point out the "hypocrisy of the left."
He offered the tired old "hiring extra security" when it comes to mass shootings. The police in the Dayton mass shooting were there within 30 seconds. The white terrorist managed to shot 40 people with a high powered firearm and got nine within seconds.
Trump today flubbed on Dayton by saying "God bless the people of Toledo, Ohio."
Fox News pretty much buried the flub while CNN, MSNBC and other cable news outlets panned Trump for the mistake and the lack of substance in his presser.
Even Hannity choose to avoid the gaffe. Hannity would bring up Obama and Joe Biden's gaffes in response.
I've dubbed Hannity as the "official softball" of the Donald J. Trump administration. I did it for good reason. During his feud with Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NE), Hannity said that he "goes easy" on Republicans and offered Sasse an hour on his right wing carnival.
I've often noticed that Hannity has a history of name-calling opponents. So I decided to give him a nickname as well.
Some folks are starting to pick up on his nickname and I hope that folks start calling him "Softball Hannity."
Because you notice that every interview with Trump, Hannity has often tried to spoon feed the president bullshit without fact-checks. Matter of fact, the questions are so stupid, even Trump has questioned why Hannity is such a lapdog.
I remember in the 2016 Republican primaries, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and John Kasich have openly complained to Fox News about the way Hannity's interviewed them.
They figured that Hannity and his old boss Roger Ailes were full-blown Trump supporters.
Cruz got into a heated feud with Hannity when the agitator brought up an allegation made by Trump on delegates being stolen and a brokered convention. The two made peace during the 2018 U.S. Senate reelection against Beto O'Rourke. The senator didn't address Hannity for nearly two years.
Hannity has also been notorious for peddling bullshit. It's caught the attention of groups like Sleeping Giants and Media Matters for America, a progressive media watchdog group that tracks conservatives and white extremism on television.
Media Matters for America has a lengthy track record of Hannity. The progressive media watch group has asked advertisers to make consideration to the kind of products that are being sold during Hannity's program.
Angelo Carusone, the president of Media Matters has launched a boycott against Hannity in 2017 during the Seth Rich and Roy Moore controversies. He managed to get 50 advertisers to sever ties with him. Carusone and Media Matters are going to go hard on Fox News. They are hoping to convince advertisers, Rupert Murdoch and his stockholders that Fox News is bad for business.
Yet, Hannity survived the boycott and continues to strive.
We all agree that Hannity is a well paid agitator. But in fact, he's by far the most annoying and condescending media personality to ever exist. His right wing carnival is nothing but a screamfest.
He is a serial name dropper and within a two minute rant, you'll hear Trump, Obama or Clinton come out of it.
The man has a crazy obsession with dropping names more than he can drop an actual sentence.
Now I will be pretty blunt when I say this about him.
SEAN HANNITY IS FUCKING ANNOYING. HE IS PRETTY UNBEARABLE TO LISTEN TO IN PUBLIC. HE SOUNDS LIKE HE HAS ADULT ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER. BECAUSE OF HIS DEMEANOR AND THE WAY HE SNIPES AT PEOPLE ARE NOTABLE SIGNS. MIND YOU I AM NOT A DOCTOR BUT I JUST SENSE IT BY THE WAY HE ACTS.
I MEAN HE IS SUCCESSFUL FOR HIS SCHITCK. YELLING, INTERUPTTING GUESTS, REPEATING HIMSELF CONTINUOUSLY AND DEHUMANIZING AMERICANS IN SUCH A NEGATIVE FASHION IS VERY PROFITABLE.
THIS FORMULA WORKS SO WELL FOR HANNITY, RUSH LIMBAUGH, MICHAEL SAVAGE, MARK LEVIN AND GLENN BECK. THEY ARE OLD WHITE MEN WHO ARE STUCK IN THE 20TH CENTURY. LIKE TED KOPPEL, JIM ACOSTA AND JOHN MCCAIN SAID, "THEY RELISH ON PITTING AMERICANS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER."
THEY ENJOY WATCHING GRIDLOCK AND CONGRESS TO GRIND TO A STOP.
THE ONE THING THAT MAKES SEAN HANNITY STICKS OUT IS THE FACT HE IS JUST LIKE DONALD TRUMP. HE IS EVERYTHING WRONG WITH CONSERVATISM.
RUSH LIMBAUGH AT LEAST GETS HIS OLD ASS OFF THE BLAME EVERYONE OBSESSION FOR A MINUTE OR TWO. HANNITY IS GOING ON AND ON ABOUT HOW BARACK OBAMA, HILLARY CLINTON, JAMES COMEY, ROD ROSENSTEIN, PETER STRZOK AND LISA PAGE ARE PART OF THE "DEEP STATE" AND SERIOUSLY WANTED CLINTON TO WIN BY LEAKING AN EMBARRASSING DOSSIER ABOUT TRUMP HIRING TWO RUSSIAN PROSTITUTES TO URINATE ON A BED OBAMA WAS PLANNING ON SLEEPING IN. NONE OF THIS IS PROVEN TRUE.
SERIOUSLY, I HEARD EITHER TRUMP CLINTON OR OBAMA'S NAME IN EVERY MONOLOGUE. HE SPENT A HOUR OF RANTING ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON ALLEGEDLY PAYING FOR A "PHONY FAKE (BOUGHT AND PAID FOR) RUSSIAN DOSSIER" AND HIS OBSESSION TO FIRE GOVERNMENT WORKERS WHO ARE INVESTIGATING DONALD TRUMP AND HIS ALLIES. MIND YOU, HANNITY IS UNDER FEDERAL INVESTIGATION AS WELL.
Hannity seems like a nice person in public. However whenever he opens that mouth either you want to walk away from him or you want to sock him.
Hannity claims he's not a journalist but attacks journalism.
Hannity claims he's not a Republican but promotes Republican policies and Trump's the standard bearer of the party itself.
Hannity claims he gets his sources from credible groups. So far he's gotten his "sources" from his alleged mistress Sara Carter, John Solomon, The Drudge Report, Infowars, The Gateway Pundit, Breitbart and World Net Daily.
They promote fake stories and propaganda.
Fox News is truly becoming Trump TV. Every night, the network delivers the agenda and the potential threats made by Trump. Even the kookspiracy about the "deep state" is being played night after night on the cable news shows.
That's why Hannity is successful. Fox News (in particular Hannity) is peddling bullshit to Trump and in return, the president promotes a bullshit agenda. As a reward, Hannity is given unprecedented access to Trump. Hence forth the "softball" interviews and Freudian slips.
Hannity's cult believes the junk food media is out to get him and Trump. There's nothing we can do to change their minds.
I predict before 2020, we will likely see a lot less of Sean Hannity.
It is time for Fox News to cut him loose. I call upon Rupert Murdoch and board executives to fire Sean Hannity out of the cannon. He is a toxic figure who is getting paid to divide Americans. We should not be subjected to divisiveness on the public airwaves.
Note, I usually call him Sean "Softball" Hannity. I don't often say President Donald Trump. I despise calling the former reality television star and billionaire, President of the United States.
I will refer Trump as president whenever necessary.
