With support from Russian bots, Sean Hannity supporters smash Keurig machines in response to boycott

[Go Braves]

They're mad Keurig pulled their ads from Hannity's show after he defended accused child molester Roy Moore, so they're destroying the machines they own.

With support from Russian bots, Sean Hannity fans smash Keurigs

They'll do anything to single serve Sean.

As Keurig and other companies abandon the Fox News talk show host for his defense of Alabama Senate candidate and accused child molester Roy Moore, Sean Hannity can take some comfort in knowing that at least one white nationalist and a swarm of Russian bots still have his back.

Seen promoting the #BoycottKeurig and #IStandWithHannity hashtags Sunday was Angelo John Gage, who Newsweek reports has previously tweeted about "white genocide," indicating involvement with the white nationalist movement.

Gage and other Hannity adherents posted videos of themselves online attacking their Keurig machines, which generally retail for about $100, to literally send a message to the coffee machine maker.

And this affects Green Mountain how?

And it continues. Sigh.

Just a note on how Twitter decides something is a Russian bot: If it's ever connected to twitter via a Russian internet connection, even once. If it has Cyrillic in the user name, or has ever used Cyrillic. If you do any of that, but state that you live in America, congratulations, you are now seen as a likely bot.

Reminds me of that scene in Straight Outta Compton when NWA is watching people burn their records and Eazy E says "They can do whatever they want with them. They bought them"

Yep, they are free to destroy their own personal property as much as they like. It's just funny they think that's a boycott, when the company has already got their money.

You have a citation for this?

We're not exactly dealing with rocket scientists here.

You know they are all going to go out a buy a new coffee maker. Mr. Coffee is worse than the Russians.

Hannity offered to replace the coffee makers the morons destroyed.
Hannity offered Moore the opportunity to tell his side of the story. Anyone who thinks that is unfair should really be stripped of their voting rights. We don't need idiots making such decisions. This is a McCarthy era tactic; making accusations with no time to investigate and set the record straight.

Maybe we should all go public and say that we sold Doug Jones cocaine 30 years ago. The media isn't interested in truth, only in electing Democrats.

On more than one level.

Well, duh. It shouldn't take anyone too much time to figure out that if the customer does not have a Keurig coffee maker, he won't be buying any Keurig coffee--and it's the sale of those little cups that makes Keurig most of its money.

His morons... whatever it takes to make nice with the sponsors, I suppose.

Nobody's saying that's unfair -- but many of us who actually watched the interview were appalled by the softball questions Hannity kept tossing... and worse, that Moore kept whiffing.

Moore had the friendliest "interview" one could ask for and still managed to make it worse for himself.

As KWCrazy was kind enough to point out, Hannity's going to replace the coffee makers -- so Keurig will be selling its little cups again soon enough in spite of the fans' little tantrum.

But what if the morons break the new ones as well?

Hannity will just have to replace them (the coffee makers, not the morons).

 

[Sistrin]

Hannity's point was simple and direct, therefore I am not surprised it escaped partisan leftist screaming and wailing he lose his show. Moore, just as with anyone else accused of a crime, has a right to due process and the establishment of innocence or guilt via proof before punishment is applied.

What the liberal/progressive left wants to do is destroy Moore based only on the accusation itself while at the same time ignoring the actual proof against guys like Mendez, Clinton (either), or any other Democrat proven to have broken any law or engaged in amoral behavior anywhere at any time.

And Hannity has a right to lob softball questions to make Moore look like the innocent victim... which he did.

...and Moore has a right to bungle such a fluff interview and make himself look even more guilty than he did before... which he did.

...and the viewers have a right to express their disapproval at such a transparent (and shoddy) farce... which they did.

How many times is Hannity going to do that and is Kuric that evil to hire Russian trolls to convinve morons the destroy the coffee makers know Hannity will replace them?

Good questions -- how long will conservatives and Russian trolls fight for the hearts and minds of morons?
