      Don't confuse Hannity with the facts...

      BTW, I loved it when she told Hannity that when goes back and looks at a quote he read there are usually whole parts missing. That's pretty much my observation too...

        I also liked when she corrected him about the testimony and he had to try to quickly reframe the argument. Hannity is such a serial misinformer, it really is nauseating to watch him do it day in and day out with that smirk on his face.

      Wow. Can you say "owned?" It won't be long before Fox shows her the door and CNN gets a new "voice of reason."

      Gee. Someone actually debunked Vannity's propaganda right to his face. I guess he thought she would be safe since she is blond. I am shocked. Does Rupert Murdoch know that someone defeated this empty headed bigot? Hope she doesn't get fired.

        Bigot? Hannity disagrees with much of the left wing stance so he's a bigot? So what is someone who slobbers all over the left wing stance? You left wings - throw terms around without basis at all. People who didn't support Obama, or Health Care, or anything else now are either "racists" or bigots? Just for the record, as Kirsten was trying to point out - it's not 'against the law' for people to stand at a polling place in paramilitary garb - NOR (though she didn't mention it) is it AGAINST the law to disagree with Obama. By the way, the only reason I PAY as much attention to right wing media - besides being a conservative is because the left wing media drooling all over everything the president and his administration does without any real objective coverage - one caveat - New York Times has finally loosed itself a bit and taking some stands against this administration. But a BIGOT? Oh, I haven't seen her (Powers) on the show in the last several days - has she been fired? Actually NO she hasn't and she won't be.

      this case is as phony as the african american tea bagger supposedly "attacked" by union "thugs". remember that one?? the union "thug" that supposedly attacked the man was a 70 yr old minister. this panther story is just as irrelevant, but its typical of the trumped up race baiting stories from the right. the real story should be about the faulty voting machines in this country. that's a real threat to our democracy, but don't expect to see that story on fox news.

      He went from saying they dropped the case, to saying that they just got a slap on the wrist, to saying that the poll watchers were voters, to just abandoning his "facts" altogether and arguing whether or not it was acceptable to dress in paramilitary uniforms and yell and people going into a voting place.

      Nice try Hannity....
