        "He has no need of an excuse to bring up Bill Ayers,ever." Bill Ayers was committing civil disobediance in protest of our corrupt, lying, war mongering country. He was busted and paid his dues. Ollie North and G. Gordon Liddy got busted and now do specials on Fox and gold commercials. Barack Obama was an activist in Chicago and crossed paths with Ayers, and Hannity is STILL trying to smear Obama? If you like that sh!t for brains programming what are you doing here?

      The only thing missing in this idiotic exchange was "Dueling Banjos" playing in the background.

      I have to say, I am depressed and profoundly disappointed that our nation has become so G.. D... dumb that the views represented by these utterly moronic clowns has been rewarded.....to the detriment of everyone. It is a disgrace.

      Republicans know that when someone accuses you of saying or doing doing something and expresses outrage, real or feigned, there are three courses of action:

      1 -- Repeat what you just said. Often.

      2 -- Say something worse on the same topic

      3 -- Accuse your opponents of doing it too, and say they did it first.

      The whole point is to reinforce that you're not apologizing and can't be pushed around.

      What Jay Carney should have said instead of apologizing was "we call on the terrorist-like Tea Party to stop acting like terrorists so it will be possible for us to stop calling them terrorists."

      Look, except for Palin's Bizzaro World, you cannot accuse Barack Obama of "palling around with domestic terrorists" and then feign outrage when someone else uses the terrorist analogy.

      Oh my God she's an idiot. Didn't she begin the terrorist meme, what was it, three years ago now? She's unable to put a sentence together without buzzwords (see: patriot, fiscal conservative, constitutional conservative, common-sense, and so on). And did Sean just admit that he was virtually ignored when "reporting" on the Ayers connection? And did the half-governor just quote Brittney Spears? And are there two bigger morons in the universe than this?

      Hannity and Palin have done more damage to the country than Bill Ayers could ever dream of. They've been doing everything in their power to fight any kind of reform of the healthcare system and maintain the status quo despite the fact that every year 15 times as many people die from being uninsured than from the attacks of 9/11.

        Ayers is actually a decent human being. He has certainly expressed regret for the crimes he committed in the past. He also doesn't whore himself out to news-speak programs like the Twittering Quitter does.

        I have to wonder why the Teabaggers so often appear to be lesser human beings than the people they still insist on criticizing. Speaks volumes about their character- or lack thereof.

      Personally, I love it when Palin is so cluelessly committed to gleefully bleating out those ''Greatest Hits'' talking points that have already proven themselves effective in getting her not elected Vice President. She and Inanity are still droolingly convinced that they're JUST about to kick in with voting public.

      Ms Sarah,the only reason you are currently on Sean Hannity's show tonight is because of the lies you told about needing to raise money for your grand kids college fund....Did Sean Hannity tell you that he replaced you with a republican congressman who can think stupid,and talk stupid faster than you ever will be able to.Sara Palin,Sean Hannity has replaced you with Louie Gohmert.
      .....Louie Gohmert appears on both Sean Hannity's radio,and tv show more than you or anybody else.During the "debt crisis" Louie Gohmert spent more time on Hannity's shows than taking care of congressional business.....Ms Sarah Louie Gohmert does something that gives Sean Hannity a thrill that you don't do any more.You used to.......Louie Gohmert always whenever he appears on Sean Hannity's radio,and tv show says,,,"Oh Great Sean Hannity,the republican party would be nothing with out you,or the fine radio network,and fox news that is 100% republican party messaging".

        Her popularity is waning. Her film "Undefeated" opened to brutal reviews and the film didn't even gross $1 million. You would think her Tea Party followers would flock to this film in droves, but judging by the box office revenue, it doesn't seem to be the case.

        Palin's appearances on Fox News is less frequent than two years ago when she burst onto the political scene. Don't be surprised if her contract renewal with Fox Newes ended.

      More whiny victimhood. The fact is that the Tea Party's sheer idiocy and radicalism is a big domestic threat. Not as big a threat in the long run as the oligarchy that slowly, slowly over the last thirty years has squeezed the life out of the rest of the country, but still big.

      Ideology so rigid as to always claim "no retreat","no compromise","fight the opponent on everything",and/or to hold your position no matter the facts or the results is extreme whether it is religious,social or political ideology.That is exactly what Tea Party conservatives and Muslim fanatics embrace and anything that results is just colateral damage.The truth just hurts a bit for these two hacks.They could not debate any issue in an intelligent factual way.To have them on TV is a statement of failure for our country!!They have no interest in balancing the information for the edification of the audience.Its PURE 100% propaganda!!!The hypocrisy is so blatant whether its Ted Nugent vs Common,Bush vs Obama,Laura vs Michele,Liddy/North vs Ayers,Hagee/F. Graham vs Wright.They don't refuse to see their own bad actors at what they claim is wrong with others .Just because they agree on certain conservative principals,they can overlook racism,bigotry,violent rhetoric and sexism to support their own.They will attack even neutral actions by others like the 1st Lady's nutrition effort while defending Beck or Limbaugh.They are pathetic and Un-American!!!

      Unfortunately this clip left out the lead in to this cornucopia of retreaded stupid.

      Hannity went out of his way to make sure that we were all reminded that Sarah was the real victim in the Giffords shooting. AGAIN.

      I'm not sure I like the terrorist label. It looks to become the 21st century version of nazi. Still the teabaggers threatened our economy to scare the living Hell out of the country for political reasons.
