Black helicopter alert! Hannity promises to "expose" Obama's "campaign" to "forfeit our national sovereignty" in new book

February 16, 2010 3:39 pm ET by MMFA Staff

From the Hannity.com description of Sean Hannity's forthcoming book, Conservative Victory: Defeating Obama's Radical Agenda:

In Sean's first new book in six years - he issues a stirring call to action. Hannity surveys all the major Obama players-from the president's affiliation with radical theology to his advisers' history of Marxist activism, repression of the media, support for leftist dictators, and worse.

He exposes their resulting campaign to dismantle the American free-market system and forfeit our national sovereignty. But he draws on the examples of Ronald Reagan and the GOP's Contract with America to show how conservatives can unite behind this country's most cherished principles and act now to get America back on the right track - while we still can.

      Capn Jack:

      ___________________
      The above post was on FoxNation.com under a story about Van Jones. Now with Hannity's new book, the violent and hateful rhetoric towards anyone remotely associated with the Obama Admin will only get worse. I really believe Faux News wants to see someone get hurt- they are hoping for bloodshed.

      But you can get this book at half-price in paperback right now...six weeks before it is coming out.

      For the past three months, Mr. Hannity has been telling his listeners about his plans to set America straight, to give Cons and Repubs direction on how to win back America(from who is still the question). Now, three months later, it is a BOOK which they must buy but SeannietheSissyBoy doesn't want them to have to buy it in hardcover(which wouldn't sell anyway). He demanded it be in softback cover. I really thought he was working on a real plan, not a real scam. He should include an 8-pack of Crayola crayons and add pictues to be colored.
      And Sean, for you information, you better move up the release date because I am sure most of it will be MORE outdated when Newsmax buys their 200,000 copies.
      Nice try silly man but your plan is a scam.

          they cant answer you because they dont know what the agenda is, they just claim there is one because they cant accept that a half Caucasian/half black man was elected Potus and they never will. they dont like anything he has done including AGREEING with Bush's TARP and continuing HIS policy toward saving the economy. There is and was NO MASK. More GOP Reps and Sens have resigned than Dems...they cannot even get that right...and they are going to revolt against Palin and the tea baggers or vice versa so their party is in far worse shape than ours and they are spinning that. With Steele as the token leader of the rnc and rush the so-called voice of the GOP they have FAR WORSE leadership issues than we do as well. We will get it in gear in time to save the Nov elections and then save 2012 so the windbags can save their breath (and save the atmosphere)

            Taking over corporations? Talk to Sarah Palin about getting the oil companies to cut a check - to the tune of a couple thousand dollars a piece - for every citizen of Alaska. Talk about rank socialism!

            Socialized medicine? How is a health care plan without even a basic public option in any way socialist? A give-away to the private insurance companies I'll agree with but hardly socialist.

            Tax increases? 95% of Americans received tax cuts under Obama and Obama's proposed increases on people making over $250,000 will take them back to the level they were under Clinton (what an economic hellhole we were in then!) and still considerably lower than they were under Reagan.

            Increasing the size of government? Like two huge UNPAID FOR wars and an equally unpaid-for prescription drug program?

            Tax and spend? As opposed to borrow and spend like the Republicans do? At least Obama reinstated pay-as-you-go after that fiscal conservative Bush and his Republican enablers in Congress got rid of it.

            You mean the Bush programs,voted on by Republicans..like Tarp and "Socialist" Medicare Prescription Bill..2 unfunded Wars left off the books to hide the deficit impact..and a 1.6 trillion dollar tax cut...but hardly a peep outta future Teapartiers ,Liberatrians,Conservatives and Right Wingers.All of a sudden everything not a tax cut or war spending is Radical!!!Tax and spend is not good but taxcuts and spending is a lot worse!! No one has seen a tax cut since Obama has been in office but 95 % of Americans had a tax cut in 2009!!!The government has not taken over any corporations(Bailouts are not takeovers!!) and no one has proposed truly socialized medicine.The current health reform bills don't even have a single payer plan. Obviously the Conservative Obama critics expected him to perform miracles since in a few months they expected him to have the economic/government-spending crisis (decades in the making) to be be totally corrected by now!!Otherwise how could they criticize him alone for our current situation.My question is what would we face with no Stimulus Bill and John McCain/Sarah Palin in the White House...My guess is 25% unemployement and another war..no not Yemen..IRAN..both would have bombed Iran by now ..right!!?What's one more war on a bankrupt treasury in a country with a crumbling, neglected infrastructure and out of work citizens!!

        This could just as easily read "the GOP incumbents that are up for reelection are dropping out like rats fleeing a sinking ship. And why you ask? Their hypocrisy and the potential that they might have to answer for it. The mask has been lifted and the people are seeing these GOP politicians for the spineless, hypocritical obstructionists they are. Not even FOX can cover and spin for them like they did before."

            There's no point in any further debate. Let's just shut it all down now. There's no way for us to counter such an argument.

            Oh, except for how we count all the other arguments that spew from the loyal lap dogs of Hannity and Beck--with their own words, their lies, their over the top hyperbole, and, of course, their rabid ignorance.

        Since the right wing nutz can't understand history, it comes as a surprise that in an off-year election the party in the White House might loose some Congressional seats.

        This is a news flash?

        But these same idiots thought is indictitive that the mini-off year elections in Virginia and New Jersey had the same result, despite the fact that this has been the pattern since 1985. And 1977. We progressives would call that a trend.

        Geez, isn't it astonishing that independent voters are, well, independent? And that first-time voters might have more interest in a Presidential election that one for the governorship or the House?

        Astonishing. Although not very surprising...

      I find it ironic, and funny that Hannity quotes the Contract with America as a principle that they should follow, or go back to, seeing as how most of the folks who signed onto that are still serving, long past the time they said they'd quit.

      And what "radical" agenda Mr. Hannity? You guys keep saying that he's a radical, and yet, I'm not seeing any kind of radical agenda. Actually, the health care bill closely resembles the republicans' ideas from 1994 during the Clinton years (also part of the Contract with America remember that?). Back when republicans had ideas.

      I all sincerity "GOP" and "Conservatives" offer NOTHING. But the Democratic Party must realize governing is their responsibility. Mr Hannity has only the power the Democratic Party surrender to him.

      It is time. The Democratic Party has exhausted every possible excuse to avoid doing the right thing. The people voted for members of Congress to govern.

      The members of the Democratic Party have run out of excuses, it is time. No more half-stepping, no more posturing. It is time to begin to govern.

      Bring the major legislative action on Health Care to an "Up Or Down" vote. Should any piece of legislation be threatened with a filibuster, the Democratic Party response MUST be "Bring it to the floor." Give the piece of legislation an up or down vote.

      No more 'sun was in my eyes and it was too dark to see, the world is flat no body likes me' excuses. Bring on the vote and govern!

      The only threat to Democratic Party governing is Democratic Party refusing to govern. Democratic Party refusing to govern is not an option. Voters will reward the Democratic Party when they act as a governing party. So govern!
