Over and over, Hannity falsely claims Obama "admitted he'd never read" the health care bill

From the July 24 edition of Fox News' Hannity:

Why is Hannity allowed to make bogus claims on a daily basis about the Presidents policies and he is never apologized or censored by the FCC? What is going on? He also made false comments about Bill Cosby during a later segment.
The administration has enough on their plate left from the Bush debacle of eight years. They should not have to defend lies from a network who enjoys playing this sick game with the American people who are to uneducated to realize they are being played.
When will it stop?
It seems Murdoch is really out to destroy our country.
The demographics dictate that the strategy of screaming racism at every turn is not a winning one going forward, and lying to the public on a daily basis can't have a long shelf life as a primary means of communicating.
It is truly unhealthy to have no functioning opposition in a 2-party system, or in any democratic system. Eventually, this will stop. Four years? Eight years? Twenty? Remember, with the exception of the moderate Eisenhower, it was 40 years between Republican presidents after the Great Depression. History repeats itself in strange ways.
He is right at Hannity's level, so maybe there's a chance it may sink in.
Naaaahhhhhh...
I would rather that the bill be single payer. But there are very powerful monied interests that want to keep that from happening. I do wish Obama would get this right. But I do understand the urgency of trying to pass something quickly.
I wish Dude would start this over. I'm afraid this won't be anything we really want.
Of course Sean doesn't really care what's best for Americans. He just wants his stupid paycheck and celebrity status. Idiot. And to talk as much smack as possible about the President.
If you really believe you are right, you should run for office and make the kind of changes YOU feel are needed. You are not entertaining, you stop your guests from talking if they disagree with you and your message to the country is hateful!
Why is that, I wonder. It is admirable to have fondness for ones' ancestral home, but in Sean's case it seems odd. Isn't America the greatest nation God ever put on this earth (paraphrase).
Perhaps the 'birthers' should look into this. I mean just in case Sean has political ambitions. Or maybe - he a mole for the IRA!!!
It is also admirable to have fondness for ones' "Roots".
I think if Hannity has dual citizenship, it dilutes his "Great American" status by at least fifty percent. And if true, that would mean than unlike President Obama who proudly states that he's a citizen of only one country, the Untied States, he's more of a citizen that that narrowbacked Sean Hannity.
Thanks for the information - I wasn't aware of that. I am almost certain it was Hannity's grandparents who immigrated here, so it is possible that his father was an Irish citizen.
However, from what you stated: "...anyone born to Irish citizens is entitled to become a citizen of Ireland"; so would that would mean Hannity had to apply?
Just curious.
And just for fun, since he loves the birth conspiracy; why would he?
I mean this is the greatest,most fabulous, most beautiful,most free, brilliant country, God ever put on this planet. :?
Did I leave something out - oh yes - richest.
So I guess he's not a real, "Great American" but one of those phony, "Great American".
But he's still a 100 %, pure sack of excrement!
2. The Republic of Ireland has 33 million passport holders and a population of six million; at $350 a pop it's a good revenue generator. The EU is trying to put a stop to it.
3. Any person that is a third generation relative of any person born in the North or South of Ireland can apply for Foreign Birth Registry (citizenship) then one may apply for a passport.
Ireland is the only neutral country in the EU or the British Commonwealth. Irish Passport holders can go just about anywhere in the world without much hassle.
Apparently InSannity doesn't know how our government works. Congress writes legislation; the President signs it. Until he is presented with a final, marked-up, reconciled bill, the President can't know what is in it.
Can InSannity tell us what will be the headline in next month's newspaper?
President Obama has the good sense to let Congress do its job while he does his best to do his.
Which is quite a bit more than one can accurately say about InSannity...
