It obviates the need to engage in debate- one doesn't stoop to the level of debate with an EOS. Sean Penn is no great shakes as an actor, politiican, or person , for that matter, but why should he feel obligated, as Anonymous 1 stated, to go on and debate someone who has thrown down that glove. It simply gives SH and his little EOS schtick credibility it doesn't deserve.

The outrage is not that Hannity criticized them harshly. The outrage does not arise out of a claim that Hannity criticized Penn's views and actions unfairly.<BR/><BR/>The outrage is that he is calling Penn an enemy of the state.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just too patriotic, but for me, the term "enemy of the state" is a serious charge and carries the mandatory implication that said "enemy" <I>must</I> be imprisoned or worse. Hitler was an enemy of the state. McVeigh was an enemy of the state (before we even knew who he was). But an outspoken actor? This is unacceptable.<BR/><BR/>Have we really come to the point where this kind of hyperbole is acceptable to people like the anonymous commenters? It honestly reminds me of those "love the sinner but hate the sin" gay basher apologists.

He's <I>so</I> easy to despise, if you disagree with his politics.<BR/><BR/>You could almost say that Hannity's show is similar to a lefty blogger leading a post with heady words about Fascist/Stalinist threats to our nation from the right-wing, and then writing about...Sean Hannity. <BR/><BR/>To my knowledge, neither of our punching-bag Seans are in an actual national government; they're just loud-mouthed goobs. So no, it's not immediately clear how Stalinistic this this. <BR/><BR/>If the Evil Sean Hannity did actually have Super Fascist Powers, then I doubt you'd even be able to <I>submit</I> your post, much less have your site or yourself still be up and running the next day.

What he should do with each segment is to name somebody inconsequential or irrelevant, do his thing, and then move right on to a sit down with Michelle Malkin and have her react to his choice, on the spot.

I would have expected him to use the words "Enemy of Freedom". BTW, just what state is he in charge of cause I want to make sure I dont break any laws if I happen to be visiting there.

How is that fascist? How does that equate to totalitarianism? Either your political beliefs have gone so far to the Left as to not be believed or your education has failed you miserably. Other than differing points of view, how is Hannity any different than Penn? Nobody has ever cast a vote for Hannity either. Hannity is not the chosen representative of anybody either. How is he different? Oh, yeah, he has different beliefs than you do. That's what makes him crazy, Stalinistic, a fascist and a totalitarian, right?<BR/><BR/>Doug, if you do a little bit of research, you'll find that your post is a lot closer to having a fascist/Orwellian/dehumanizing tone than the clip of one jackass insulting another jackass for insulting him. If Hannity had any kind of legislative, executive or judicial authority, you "might" have a point. But he doesn't, so it just leaves your post as being hyperbolic ramblings that give evidence to the fact that you do not have even a basic knowledge of the imagery you invoke or concepts you employ. Neither historically nor contemporarily.<BR/><BR/>You should stick to sports commentary. It is where your creative strengths lie.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
