Sean Hannity is not terribly interested in telling his Fox News viewers the truth, as his track record all too amply demonstrates. So, it's no surprise that Hannity would twist the words of Jimmy Carter in order to portray President Obama as weak.

On his February 24 show, Hannity asserted that Carter is “fuming” that a Foreign Policy magazine article made comparisons between Carter and Obama. Apparently, Hannity insisted, “President Obama has made such a mess that even Jimmy Carter is now distancing himself from the president.”

Except that's not what happened at all. Carter was, in fact, complaining about Foreign Policy's attempt to paint Obama as “a new Jimmy Carter” as a symbol of Obama's supposed “weakness and indecision.” At no point did Carter distance himself from Obama. His complaint was joined by a letter from Carter's national security adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, making a similar argument.

Hannity has a tired Obama-bashing script he must adhere to, no matter what -- and he's certainly not going to let the facts get in his way.
