  Stewart and Colbert are definitely the best guys going in terms of combating misinformation in the media, for the very simple reason that they laugh at it, rather than make like a liberal Limbaugh or Hannity and get angry at it.

    Very true, which is why I enjoy their shows much more than, say, Randi Rhodes'.

  Thanks Jon. Hannity is a conservative coward who hides behind Hal Turner and Murdoch.

    All right, this will be the last ever Bio-Engineering Inc. office party if you people don't quit leaving beer bottles on the clone button.

    Did you have a fit just as you pressed the "save" button?

      I'll bet that happened when the server had some kind of glitch. I tried to post about an hour ago and the site froze up. I'm guessing that if you pressed the "save" button and nothing happened, then pressed it several more times, this is the result.
      
      Or the beer bottle on the clone button...

        I've had it happen when I hit the post button and I don't notice that my puter is taking longer than normal to churn. If I hit post again before it finishes processing I get multiple posts.

        That sounds too logical. I'm going with the beer on the clone button.

  This is definitely one of the MOST blatantly dishonest things Hannity has done in a career full of dishonesty.
  
  He really has absolutely no respect at all for the (alleged) intelligence of his audience.

    How would he shout this down if presented as evidence to him (that's what he always does, as evidenced in his Jesse Ventura interview). He's busted and yet he straight faced it, hoping that his sheep didn't watch the speeches.

  SeannietheSissyBoy is always complaining about people, MSM, not telling the entire truth. SissyBoy, how would you know the TRUTH? Would Rush have to tell you what is true?
  You put something like this lie on your program and you want people to bring their kids to your money-making scam concerts? Seannie, would you want your kids listen to a liar? Too bad for them, their futures will be dismal when they have to say you are their father. Shame on you!!!
  And Seannie you better quit following so closely behind Rush rear end. I'm afraid if he stops too quickly, your nose will turn brown. But you are used to it.
  You are a mockery as a human being..doing anything for money. Seannie, you are a whore for Murdoch

  HANNITY is nothing more than a lying piece of FAR RIGHT WING garbage. He wouldnt know honesty if it smacked him in the face.

  You gotta love Stewart. "In Sean's defense: If the second half of a sentence was that important wouldn't it be in the front?"

    That was good, Shaggles. Stewart is good at making absurd comments that aren't too far beyond the things Hannity spews as his serious commentary.
