Discussion: Hannity On Confederate Flag Bans: Should We Stop Selling Rap Music?

Not even close to being the same thing or situation. Remember these things when he says somebody is just trying to be divisive. A store could make the decision to stop selling anything they want to, but not selling a confederate battle flag is not going to hurt anything. I am not even sure if not selling rap would hurt much anymore given how most people get music.

Just like flags, people are going to get them if the ywant them .

One can not say too much scorn ridicule on this vile nasty racist creature. But he has crafted a very appealing- especially to women- public persona: something I would call “Purity Through Ignorance”. Kind of a Dennis the Menus and Eddie Haskel thing. And he is very talented in the dark Orwellian art of language manipulation and the Roger Ailes/Fox schtick of propaganda disguised as news and debate. With his radio show and Fox show he had eclipsed PigBaugh as the preeminent propaganda mouthpiece: from his mouth to the mouths a 100% of Red Team pols and the base. Listen to the memes of Repub callers to c-span’s Washington Journal and it’s about 90% you already heard it on Hannity. And he is the only Foxbot to host the screeching craven spittle flecked Munich beer hall soul brother and Vile Fascist Pig Mark Levin. And that Ladies and Gentlemen is some 100% pure Overton Window action going on.
With its scary bad black people racial overtones and Sarah “Queen of the North” always wrong about the 1st Amendment ignorance, Hannity hit all his three point shots but this rap ban meme is not one his more clever tropes.
Might I suggest a TPM post on a particularly vile new Hannity trope, something like “Hannity to refight Viet Nam War, Goes Full Dolchstoßlegende”. Yes, he has recently added to his noxious verbal stew the formulation that Obama/Blue Team have “politicized” Iraq just like Viet Nam and asks military guests and others how they fell about the American blood shed for Iraq cities now under ISIS control. Really, full frontal stab in the backism. If this is not Munich beer hall politics, what the hell is? And soon its coming out of a Red Team pie hole near you.
Since sentient American History AP high schoolers could demolish Hannity tropes like so much toilet paper, why the hell official Blue Team doesn’t have a 24/7 national friggen read this before you go on radio and TV memo I will never know.

If they ever open up a false equivalency Hall of Fame, Hannity should be one of the first inductees.

Of course, rap music is exactly the same as a regime based on human slavery and the armies that caused hundreds of thousands of casualties in a war to keep the slaves in cahine.

This guy gets stupider with each passing day/

Not a fan of Hannity, but I think this image just goes to far and it is beneath TPM.

Vendors can sell Confederate flags (or not) as they wish, and vendors can sell rap music (or not) as they wish.

Why do you wish to shackle the invisible hand of the market, Comrade Hannity?

Is there any doubt left that Hannity is a racist?

White entitled asshole says what…

the ‘H-word,’

H-annity? I agree, that shit’s offensive.

Once again this useless, intellectually deficient bag of wind overstates what is happening with the flags, the governments of the states that have chosen to fly them are now choosing not to fly them, with an act to ban them. Racist individuals who want to label themselves as such are not prohibited from doing so. Additionally private enterprise, something Hannity claims to support are making marketing decisions not to sell these commodities. Nothing being banned there, just business decisions made without any government pressure.

Hannity again miss states the facts to try to rally his bigoted listeners.

In their warped minds, Republicans are never guilty all by themselves. When caught supporting evil, they always look for a similar crime or sin that they can assign to Democrats, If they can’t find one, they invent one, convinced that their white racist base will fall for the false equivalency.

and maybe burn a few million books he doesn’t like at the same time. That should
appeal to his audience of old white conservative men living in the 19th century.
