Hannity's Enemy of the Week

[MachZer0]

I'm looking forward to Hannity's show tonight to find out who will be his choice for Enemy of the Week. Here are three good candidates. Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and of course, the resurgent (rhymes with insurgent) Jane Fonda. If he chooses Jane Fonda, I'm hoping he at least temporarily returns to the Enemy of the State format.

Jane Fonda. 2007 is turning out to be a flashback that never ends.

Just like a quagmire that never ends. Oh, Iraq is NOTHING like Vietnam



Guess the thousands and thousands of war protesters should be the enemy of the week along with Fonda. Hanity has enough "enemies" to last his show a lifetime.

Sad but true. It promises to be a long running show.

It will probably be John Kerry, after his performance at the world economic forum

Do you have a link to that? I missed it.

Can't see the OP, but it seems like Hannity never has a hard time slapping the 'enemy' label on people. Yawn.

Thanks, Kerry certainly belongs on the list

It's nice that the Hannitys and O'Reillys and Frankens are taking the time to identify people wholly with one or two of their actions, and to use labels with maximum emotional impact. We consumers just don't have the capacity to deal dispassionately with discrete facts.

As we have seen, purely emotional arguments are the backbone of rational political discourse. Thus, we need to be told who we should be mad at, not what we should disagree with.

Would you consider Limbaugh for his line "halfrican American" against Obama?

 

[MachZer0]

Would you consider Limbaugh

No. Rush exemplifies American ideals

for his line "halfrican American" against Obama?

I didn't hear that one, but I like it. People need to decide if they are African, Mexican, etc or if they are American.

Could NeoCons even exist if they couldn't?

Is "halfrican" offensive now? Back in the day, one of my biracial friends referred to himself as that. He thought it was clever, and funny, I thought it was corny. I assume you think its racist?

If Obama is offended by it, then it makes Rush insensitive, but it is hardly on par with the borderline treasonous statements made by Kerry.

If this is so, then America needs all the "enemies" it can get.

Oh, excuse me. I didn't realize that Hanity was only going after traitors. I guess that is why he changed it from "enemy of the state" to "enemy of the week"

Does this mean you have no problem with the phrase "halfrican American"?

Depends on the context. Consider the difference when an African American used the n-word and a white person does...

If Obama is offended by it, then it makes Rush insensitive, but it is hardly on par with the borderline treasonous statements made by Kerry.

Such as?

I could name a few choice words that black people call themselves but throw out the "racist" label when a white says the same words. Do you believe those choice words, and you know which ones I am talking about, are racist?

What I believe is that we're seeing another double standard.
