Discussion: Hannity, Who Called For Assange's Arrest, Now Believes Every Word He Says

You know, why write a big article on this asshole and waste everyone’s time? Just roll the tape showing the disparity between his words from yesteryear vs. his words today. You can even run a “greatest hits” on this idiot like Jon Stewart used to do and just give it a fancy-shmancy title like HYPOCRITE FROM THE FEVER SWAMPS or something. Basically, it would serve the exact same purpose and be entertaining ta boot. There really are too many of these faux conservative assholes out there that have pulled this exact same sham and the less attention they get for their ‘big get’ the better. Assange is as big an asshole as Shammity, so the two can rot in hell for all I care.

I’m not certain, but knowing John Cleese, it’s probably not an accident that the ode fits the rhyme and meter of part of the song, “My Name is John Wellington Wells” from Gilbert and Sullivan’s, “The Sorcerer:”

And then, if you plan it, he Changes organity, With an urbanity, Full of Satanity, Vexes humanity With an inanity Fatal to vanity-- Driving your foes to the verge of insanity!
If it hasn't been done already, someone could probably rewrite the whole song as a parody of Hannity. Large portions of it wouldn't have to change much.

It’s very interesting seeing who is winding up on Fox News lately: Glenn Greenwald and Julian Assange.

And there is also Bruce Springsteen’s famous “no junior Ginger Bakers” want-ad, which got him Max Weinberg. I hope they got to be friends too …

Heh–never heard that one. I suspect Baker has a reputation for long solos which isn’t a thing I associate with Bruce much.

Sean Hannity a HYPOCRITE? Quelle surprise!
Celebrity Conservative Sean Hannity- of the “Get rich. And get rich quick”, Useless Sack of Protoplasm Klan- deserves every squat of Darby’s Dose he gets for this crime of Public Feculent Hypocrisy. (Book I, “Basic Laws of Human Decency”, Ch 3 “Infractions: Lying In Public for Money”). So many crimes. So much hypocrisy. So many Doses.

The preamble of this indictment surely would recount Hannity’s launch onto the high mountebank as the steady, sure AM Dixie radio Butt Fluffer to his Lord of All Hot Air, Serial Philanderer, Convicted Tax Cheat, Third (that’s with a “3”) Constitutional Officer-Grantor of the $300,000 United States Speaker’s Perjury Endowment Fund, High Priest of the Holier-Than-Thou Church of Public Prayer On Credit Bling, First Order of Corporate Toadism and Invictus Moronus Intellectualis (First Degree), Newt Ginrich.
Yes that Newt. The one who taught Republicans to say “That Democrat is sick, vile and disgusting” - and hence forth no vulgar invective shall meet reproach- and then fell to grace and now…

And now as the little school kids in Marin County say with their popular sing-song jump-rope rhyme:

"Newt's greed strong and it was true.  
 It proved he had no class.
 And now on Fox it's He who must,
 Fluffer Seany's Ass".

(OK, the kids got a head start on this one; practice first with Michael “Fascist Pig” Savage Weiner.)

Like some sick cow standing over and unloading in a clean stream, Hannity’s public feculence is all the world’s to see: make me give up religion. For if there were a god, She would surely be a God Of Truth. And dispose Hannity of his tongue for feed to the pigs.

First Putin. Now Assange? Next Faux News and the GOP will be embracing John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald…not that Lee Atwater conservatives didn’t cheer when JFK was killed.

Exactly. It also explains Max’s four-piece drum set.

See, it doesn’t even matter if they actually have anything on ol’ Trumpy, right? They just need to do a little sneezing about collusion, maybe receive some sweet confidential files somehow, and he folds like a cheap suit.

Does anyone even disagree? This guy is the stupidest nullity to disgrace our Airwaves and he always parades forward like he is God’s freaking gift!

He was right about Keith Moon.

It’s never about the truth of the spokes person, it’s about whether the statements are something Hannity believes to be true.

Actually, that question was raised about some of the emails hacked from the DNC and I believe with some of Podesta’s emails. Its just that raising such a defense was about the weakest tea possible, when many more of the emails were not tampered with.

But to the point that of complete accuracy, that question has been raised. But perhaps more troubling is the lack of transparency that Assange has…where are the RNC and Trump campaign officials emails for instance? Where is the information his organization supposedly has hacked on Russia and Putin?

Or, on a more personal level for Assange, why is he so afraid of facing the Swedish courts for multiple rape cases?

57

Julian Assange did 2 things. He harmed the USA with the NSA leaks and he helped get Trump elected. What’s a good GOP’er to do?

58

Hannity seems to be ignoring the fact that what keeps Assange in the Equadorian embassy is not the US but his fear of rape charges in Sweden. Since he claims it never happened why not just go defend himself and get on with his life. Perhaps he can’t defend himself?

Putin’s hackers did alter documents to smear a Russian anti-corruption activist by tying him to George Soros’ Open Society Foundation. We know this because they made a very amateur mistake and posted two different versions to different dissemination portals. Navalny says it’s a common tactic to slip a fake document in amongst thousands of authentic documents.

Mistakes like that can happen because Putin encourages different hacker franchises to compete with each other instead of having a single clearing house.

Edit to add:

Rex Tillerson is on the board of trustees for CSIS who authored this report. Taken together with that European Council on Foreign Relations report in the second link above is an eye-opener into what’s going on.

Sure…Believe the pedophile over all of the US intelligence agencies.

Assange, who has not left the Ecuadorian Embassy in more than four years, is becoming more and more delusional and opportunistic…Just like Hannity.
