OK, Hannity is total idiot. I know you know that, I do. I know you know it. I do……
Hannity: It’s not that any of us on the conservative side like war, Phil.

Has he checked his stock portfolio lately? Let’s grab his good pal Joe Liebermann or the neocon’s main man, Bill Kristol.
War, war, war. Ahhh, say it loud with me now. W-A-R!
Hannity: Nobody wants to see innocent people die. We don’t want to see our neighbor’s lose their legs and suffer for the rest of their lives.
Could he be talking about the thousands of innocent Iraqis that have lost their lives and limbs in this war? A man like Hannity would never think about something as humane as that.
So you are arguing that we are safer that we attacked Iraq?
You’re darn right. Absolutely.
We are safer?
Yes. And it was the right thing to do.
And we’ll be even safer when we bomb Iran, hmmm?
Well it all depends. blah, blah, blah…
Listen, I have to post these GOP mouthies that get their material from Drudge/Limbaugh/Rove and Co. because that’s one of the major reasons why our nation is so screwed up. Controlling the messaging has been imperative to the wingnut cause. They hate it that we can fight back now…
No Trackbacks To “Phil Donahue to Hannity: ‘So you are arguing that we are safer that we attacked Iraq?’“
Do you think we are safer?
I mean a no BS answer yes or no?
By “fighting back,” do you mean:
a) the quaint, make-believe idea tha blogs are accomplishing anything for progressives, or have halted any of Bush’s policies?
b) the spineless and ineffectual democratic majority? or
c) the coming election that Dems are working very hard at losing?
Clarify please!
Curtix@1
Your not safe and you will never be safe. Life goes on.
It never ceases to amaze. Obtuse doesn’t even come close to describing these clowns. How can attacking a country that had nothing to do with the attack of 9/11 make us safer? It seems so obvious that it has caused al Qaeda to be able to recruit more people I guess Hannity didn’t learn anything from being a schoolyard bully
Safer??? How are we safer I would like to know. We are deeper in debt! We are hated around the world! But how are we safer? Hanity is one crazy dude!!!!
Funny, I don’t feel safe knowing that the United States has little to no ground forces available in reserve for anything else. Having a reserve force might be helpful since the Bush Administration has managed to piss off most of the world with their Iraq invasion and other actions.
Safer from whom, Sean?
Wanted to watch the whole clip. Unfortunately, as soon as I heard Hannity start with how he believes “Fascism is evil” I had to turn it off. Can this man go more than ten words without lying?
And if I knock that hornet’s nest off from under the eaves of your house, I can claim you’re safer in that respect, too.
Except for the pissed off hornet buzzing around your yard … but don’t bother me with details.
We were buddies with Saddam when he gassed the Kurds. Then, decades later, we avenged the Kurds by ousting Saddam. Then we let Turkey bomb the crap out of them a few months ago without batting an eyelash. I guess it’s OK to kill the Kurds when you’re an ally, but after the fact we have the right to use it as justification for invading your country.
I don’t feel very confident any of the right-wing actually gives a damn about the Kurds. Am I wrong?
Nice going, Phil: If Hannity was in a barrel today on his way
over Niagara Falls I would feel safer otherwise I guess not.
Shadowgm Hussein @ 9:
I don’t know, I think it’s really more like sending your children to babysit the damaged nest and try to keep the hornets as pets.
God these Faux News people are crazy! Honestly, they think if they repeat something lokng enough it will become true! Why is Donahue on Hannity’s show anyway? What a friggin joke!
Hannity only likes to see guilty people die.
According to Al-Qaeda the people in the Trade Center were guilty.
Therefore Hannity likes Al-Qaeda.
When do I get my own tv show?
Hannity is insane, seeming more concerned about Israel than Amerrka. Israel can take care of itself very well.
Hannity, OLiely, Limpballs are all losing it. They have built up this whole right-wing mania, only to see it come crashing down. They have backed themselves into a corner and alienated every moderate and progressive with their hatred for anything beside their rigid views. If there was any justice the Repugs will be out of power for decades.
I always wondered why Sean Hannity didn’t enlist. He’s the right age. He BELIEVES in the war. Perhaps, just perhaps, he is simply the next generation of the “Dick ‘5 deferments’ Cheney style” of Warmongering chickensh**t …
I still say contact their sponsors and stop buying their products.
I’ve heard Sean Hannity say that we need a war like World War II. That our current generation hasn’t had a chance to show their mettle.
AQI is an evil empire?
I bet Bush’s buddy René Préval down in Haiti isn’t feeling any safer. After all, just yesterday I read that a riot made up of Haitians angry at the rise in inflation stormed the Haitian Presidential Palace. I bet René Préval was calling his good buddy Bush for aid. So Bush got on the telephone and ordered troops to Haiti to prop up his stooge and the reply from the U.S. military Command Staff was “What troops Mr. President? You’ve committed them all to the Middle East you moron.”
Hannity may be safer, but it’s because his salary went up and he can afford a higher wall around his gated community. Meanwhile, in the real world…
Ahmadinejad is the new Hitler, Islamofascism is the new nazism and criticism of Israel (or zionism) is the new antisemitism. Good vs Evil. America is Good and pure, free from guilt. Leader of the free world bla bla bla and they who oppose America are Evil.
So sick of these ignorant fools who never ask the question WHY
Hannity can’t shut up, because then he would have to listen.
“Can’t win this one chum…
In Sean Hannity’s world, if you give a child a gun, and that child shoots someone, then you’re blameless.
Woah dang, John. You have no idea how many times I heard that phrase growing up in Texas (aimed at welfare, immigrants, and “librals” or course).
You wouldn’t happen to be a Republican spy now, would you? :D
I am SO glad that FOX is not broadcast Via satellite to S.E. Asia. The Administrations acts alone are more embarrassing than most of us can take over here as it is broadcast over CNNInternational, but having FOX also?
Many days I am glad I speak Italian.
It’s disturbing that while people are being murdered in the horror that is occupied Iraq, the only “debate” on the subject goes on between ineffectual tv bobbleheads. And most people don’t even watch THAT much.
The rest of the noise we get comes from the war house and it’s occupants who are trying to find a subtle way to tell the US population to go fuck itself so they can trot off and bomb another foreign nation that has no connection to the world trade bombings [remember that? The supposed reason for all of this?]
Ahmadinejad never said anything about “wiping Isreal off the face of the map.” Hannity won’t know the truth if it slapped him up side the face!
Go here to see what Ahmadinejad actually said:

I’m surprised Hannity didn’t use the argument that we’re feeding them Americans to kill there, so they won’t kill Americans here.
galmud @ 23:
And that’s only if you happen to be on OUR side.
Good for Phil for not letting Hannity talk him down. Has Hannity even seen any part of the film?
I have a feeling if Hannity has teen aged kids he’d be one of the first ones to raise hell if the draft were reinstated. War might not seem such a grand idea to him then.
O’Liely and Limpballs and Hannity are nothing but rich, elite WASPS who pretend to be the average Joe. The have not wanted for nothing for a long time. They call themselves true patriots, but when it comes down to helping the average Americans with a array of programs, they scream socialism! Not only are these guys for dismantling Social Security they are against any regulation of programs that protect the Middle Class. They are frauds.
pissed off patricia @ 32:
I don’t see how the draft isn’t coming, if we want to keep Halliburton pumping Iraqi oil.
Totally off topic. Does anyone know what is happening to icasualties.org. Everytime I go there from any computer, I get forwarded to some random website. I’ve sent them an email when this started happening over the weekend, but haven’t heard from them. It ONLY happens to their website and I’ve tried to get on from 4 different computers. Anyone else having this problem?
Correct web address: http://www.mohammadmossadegh.c.....e-century/
I guess if they don’t LOVE us; they are evil. If they have a different opinion they are evil. They MIGHT do this; they MIGHT do that. And of course American never does anything less than perfect. Hannity has an emotional sense he is safer. But its fraudulent. We might have heard Phil Donahue earlier if they right wing had not taken him off the air. Shame.
Hannity: It’s not that any of us on the conservative side like war, Phil.
Of course chicken-hawks never do.
That’s why the send everybody else’s kid.

Safer from the enraged citizenry!
Weaseldog @ 34:
If they want a war with Iran where will they get the soldiers to fight it? Fighting three wars at one time would break our soldiers in half. They just can’t do it. Mess with Iran and watch the Iranian rested soldiers move over the border into Iraq like ants from a disturbed anthill.
Bravo. That almost brought tears to my eyes.
Surprised Inannity actually gave Donahue the last word. Must be an Irish thing.
Hannity is a waste of space.
Hannity is such a tool, as is O’Reilly, Limbaugh, Savage, Coulter, et al. God help us from these people who have such sway over the masses of the Right. But then again, people on the Right don’t think, don’t want to think, and certainly don’t want to hear anything that will make them think. All they want is to be told that ‘Murica is the greatest and we’ll kick anybody’s asses who thinks otherwise.
hannity is one insane asshole, dumb as a rock.
Listen, I realize that this is Hannity’s schtick. He is paid to be a right-wing nutjob and say very idiotic things to keep those morons over 60 in line, but since when is it the USA’s responsibility to fight wars for Israel? He talks about bombing Iran and Hamas before they get us, WTF! If we used that logic in 1962 during Cuban Missle Crisis, there would not be a USA today!
Phil has still got it. Come back with a daily show.
Ellen @ 35:
It took almost 3 minutes but the site did open for me.
Maybe a backbone provider is trying out metering on particularly troubling website.
“conservatives” don’t like war?! Maybe regular working people who call themselves “conservative” (never understood the phenomenon), because regular people are the ones who fight the wars, but the “conservative” cheerleaders in the media can’t get enough of it. They and their kids don’t fight the wars, they just profit off of them and sell them to the public to guarantee their profits and power. Might sound cliché, but it’s the truth.
If we KILL enough A-rabs, we will eventually achieve peace.
When our country is the brink of an economic collapse, there is your proof that this “war” did not protect us.
What terrifies me is the easy glibness with which guys like Sean Hannity throw around the word “evil” - like their saying it makes it so. Most people are neither truly good, nor evil, but their actions (which are often taken without sufficient thought or out of fear and ignorance) might be…do you think Sean Hannity has the personal courage to examine some of the actions of our government and our allies, to see if there’s any “evil” there?
Does abandoning Afghanistan to Al-Qaeda and the Taliban after it was no longer politically expedient to prop up the country against the Soviets seem a little…EVIL to you?
Does England’s imperialist restructuring of existing borders in Mesopotamia, throwing three ethnically and religiously diverse communities into one crazy melting pot we now call “Iraq”, just because it was economically and politically convenient for them seem a little…EVIL?
Does our knee-jerk, uncritical, unquestioning support for Israel, while blithely ignoring the deplorable treatment of Palestinian Arabs (not ALL of whom are terrorists) at the hands of the Israelis seem…well…you get the point.
People aren’t usually evil, Mr. Hannity. ACTIONS are. And when you invoke “evil people” to justify your actions, I wonder immediately about the quality of those actions.
No one wants to see innocent people die? No one wanted lives to be counted. No one wanted the consequences to be considered. No one wanted to show the flag draped coffins on television. No one wanted to see the rodent infested hospitals. Don’t argue the cost, don’t discuss the the waste and the profiteering. Cover from our eyes the torture and abuse. Speak not of the debasement of what it means to be an American. Then it will be as though all those things never happened.
Paint us a pretty picture. Give us the good news, purple fingers, whitewashed schools.
