Seans comments should be a lesson to those who have let the current election consume on various levels. Sean mentioned the vitriol from some quarters and hatred displayed by some after the recent election.

In a statement this morning, Hannity called Alan Colmes "one of life's most decent, kind and wonderful people you'd ever want to meet."
"When Alan and I started 'Hannity & Colmes,' there wasn't a day that went by where we didn't say we were the two most fortunate men in all of television," said Hannity.
Despite their political differences, Hannity said the two "forged a deep friendship" over the years.
"Alan, in the midst of great sickness and illness, showed the single greatest amount of courage I've ever seen," he said.
"We had a deep, abiding friendship. It was never personal when we disagreed," said Hannity, saying it feels like a "part of me left today."
Hannity said there is a lot of "infighting" in television, but "everybody" in the Fox News office loved and respected Colmes.
"The world is a little darker place today because a really great human being left us," he added.
Sean called Colmes one of the funniest people he ever met, noting that he started his career in stand-up comedy.
"I want people to know: this was a good man with a great, huge heart. ... I have a hole in my heart today."
