UPDATED: ABC News thinks Sean Hannity's anti-Obama screeds = news

June 04, 2009 12:16 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

We noted earlier that the news crew at ABC dashed to post a bulletin about how right-wing talker Sean Hannity hated Obama's Muslim speech today. Because at ABC, Hannity's important and insightful.

A couple hours later here's how the Note summed up the reaction to Obama's speech:

The instant reaction from Sean Hannity, to ABC’s Diane Sawyer on “Good Morning America”: “This is an extension of what has become an apology tour, that America is an arrogant country,” Hannity said. 

“There are a lot of questions about what his real motivations are here, but it seemed like a political speech to me.”

The instant reaction from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, per ABC’s Jake Tapper: It was a “wonderful speech,” she said. “He set forth a clear challenge to us and all in the world who share [our] hope for peace and security. . . . Now we have to get to work to translate that into concrete action.”

At ABC News, Sean Hannity's reaction to a foreign policy speech is on par with the reaction of the United States' Secretary of State.

Behold your liberal media at work.

      I wonder if ABC is aware that a close personal friend of Sean Hannity... Hal Turner was arrested for inciting the killing of elected officials in Connecticut, the killing of three federal judges in Chicago, and the killing of the doctor in Omaha, NE that wants to re-open Dr. Tillers office and take his place.

      Follow this link at your own peril... I kid you not when I say it is beyond hate filled. This scumbags site leave little to the imagination as to what he is talking about.

      His concept of 'change' is to kill rather than run for public office and make the change yourself. To speak up loudly and force the government to listen.

      No, this neanderthal wrote in his electronic blog, specifically calling for the murder of elected officials, federal judges, and abortion doctors.

      If Sean comes out and does the right thing by turning his back on his 'close' friend (which I doubt because this blog speaks the same, beginning to end)... that means Sean knew that his 'close' friend talked and thought this way for months, if not years!

      About damn time one of these hate-filled mongrels is finally being dealt with!
