Falwell Gives Hannity Honorary Doctorate
A proud Sean Hannity showed H&C viewers a clip of his acceptance of an Honorary Doctorate from Jerry Falwell's Liberty University which included an inappropriate joke about Alan Colmes and words of wisdom he shared with the cheering students.
Hannity, wearing the academic robe, joked with Falwell that he was disappointed when he heard that Alan Colmes had been the first choice to give the commencement address drawing a big laugh from the audience. He added that Colmes sent his warm liberal wishes. These pearls were spoken to the Liberty graduates. " Dedicate yourselves to a distinct life of service. Confront evil where you see it in the world."
Taking a look at Dr. Hannity's behavior during his radio show today makes one wonder what sort of bizarro world would choose to give him such a dignified honor.
Between 3:30 and 4PM, Hannity was warming up his audience for the call in segment telling them that this country was in a battle between good and evil.He noted that there are people who believe in morals, doing the right things,fighting evil and then there are the others who are not true Americans.( wonder who they could be?)
The calls began and the greeting of choice was "You're a great American"or Dr. Hannity. One caller whined because he was forced to listen to the liberal hate of Seymour Hersch at Fairleigh Dickinson University and Hannity was anxious to get a copy of the speech. Another caller claimed that 95% of PHD's in this country are marxist and Hannity gave support to this outlandish remark. He was sure to tell callers that they were "great americans' thanking them for all they do for their country.
The last thing I heard was a recording of a comedic prayer asking that Hillary Clinton decides to run in 2008.
Comment:Sean Hannity, hate meister, was actually held up as a role model for students which is impossible to understand. Why do they look up to this intolerant egotist. I think it's because he offers them the opiate of the extreme right, self righteous superiority and a license to hate without sinning.

I cant stand Hanity, although i admit i did listen to him for a while until I became aware that he is a parrot for the ADL / neocon cabal.
Now, i dont agree with this part:

The only thing Hanity is intolerant of, is the interests of Whites. Just another typical neocon baboon. The problem is that today people often confuse the neocons with being the conservative.

Jerry Falwell's Liberty University: now there's a world-class institution. :lol: "Dr. Hannity" must be very proud of his "accomplishment."

What's weird is that Hannity is supposedly a friend of Hal Turner. Hidden racialist tendencies kept well under wraps?

Ah, just another day in the Empire, where butt-kissing President Bush gets you a radio and tv show AND a doctorate degree. An Empire where the intellectually vacuous are called "great Americans." Soon, we'll see Bush start giving Roman salutes to his legions while Greg Gannon makes plans for a group orgy that same night with Hannity sending out invitations....only to "conservatives", of course.
Our situation approaches terminally ill with no hope of recovery.

By far the most repulsive aspect of the Bush administration (and by extension, its small army of radio and TV chattering propagandists) is the degree of cronyism and nepotism. This handing out of phony "honorary degrees" to political cronies reminds me of the senile Leonid Brezhnev handing out medals to himself and members of his inner circle.
I almost hate to say this, but the Bush administration makes me miss Clinton. With Clinton what we got was a sleazy and corrupt used car salesman persona who made it big. He then lined his pockets and secured sexual favors through his cronies. That all seems trivial today, the sort of despicable venality that we can live with (and while we're at it, I much prefer somebody like Clinton who openly looks forward to whites becoming a minority to somebody like Bush who just doesn't care as long as it's "good for business" and good for vote-getting - the first is so much more refreshingly honest).
The Bush administration's corruption works at a much grander scale. Not content with just lining their pockets like most crooks, Bush's necon handlers will settle for nothing less than complete control over the hearts and minds of the American public. They won't rest until every American household spouts Newspeak about "Islamofascists," the "war on terror," "freedom fries," the "Bush doctrine" ad nauseum and gets teary eyed over our Chauncey Gardiner turned Great Helmsman.
The frontline in the neocon struggle to control the hearts and minds of the masses are shills like Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Coulter, and Savage, so one can expect to see more official accolades handed out to these swindlers in the coming months.

AY, I agree with you. It won't be long now before the Hannitized masses of ditto-heads start calling each other "Comrade". It's just a short ways before Hannity starts addressing Mr Bush as "Our Dear Leader".

The late Sam Francis was a doctor. Hannity is, well... simply a hack butt boy for Israel and the Neocons. [QUOTE]He noted that there are people who believe in morals, doing the right things,fighting evil and then there are the others who are not true Americans.[/QUOTE] I agree with Sean. That is why I despise him so, for he serves the evil known as Neoconservatism and has little, if any morals with his constant lying about events and people. I don't think he has ever heard of Leo Strauss, but he is a perfect example of who accepts the nonesense about the "noble lie". If he realized just how stupid he really is he would kill himself.

Honorary doctorates once meant something. They used to be given to people who didn't go through the formal schooling but still made contributions to some field that deserved academic recognition. Today, these phony "degrees" are just another form of sycophantic celebrity adulation and political cronyism.
Michael Faraday never made it through high school, but he revolutionized our understanding of electricity and magnetism. That deserves an honorary doctorate. Spewing propaganda for the Bush administration does not, not even from a phony outfit like Falwell's. How long before we get Comrade Doctor Sandalio?

[QUOTE] I almost hate to say this, but the Bush administration makes me miss Clinton. [/QUOTE] Antiyuppie, easy on that clouded nostalgia for a lying attention whore. "do you like me?" That aint leadership.
Take a nice long drink of iced tea, or a mint julep. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the off tackle play we are executing that we forget that we are out to win a whole ball game.
Move forward, improve the conservative message, get defective brains removed, find a few leaders, but don't go back to the shills for the Communists and the Internationalist Kumbayaers. Lesser of two evils?
Lateral thinking. Screw "either or," create a new path.
Bull Moose party revival, anyone? The current non choices no longer satisfy.

Hannity is borderline comical in how he'll ask a question (H&C is supposed to be a Crossfire knock-off) of an invited guest and immediately interrupt before the poor sop has a chance to answer. Sometimes he doesn't even bother to phrase his invective as a question at all. The thing to do, which means you'll never get invited back I suppose, is to reply, "was there a question there, Sean?"
O'Reilly also has this bit where, being fair & balanced & all, he says he's giving the guest the last word. But he never does. He always has a sanctimonious comeback to close the show.

Let's put it this way. I "miss" Clinton in the same way that a tuberculosis patient would say "I sure miss that case of bronchitis I had two years ago."
Yes, Clinton was a narcissist, a liar, and a crook. Big deal, so are most of our elected officials, therefore we could live with Clinton. George W. Bush is a dangerous and deranged man who thinks that he talks to God while he receives memos from William Kristol and has Karl Rove and Paul Wolfowitz whispering in his ear.
Furthermore, under Clinton there was none of the creeping totalitarianism that I see with Bush and the neos. Clinton's spin doctors, men like Carville, were rank amateurs. The best they could do was damage control about Clinton's scandals by debating whether fellatio was sex or not. The neoconservative spin doctors, on the other hand, have an iron grip over the thoughts of every drooling FOX News yes-man and Limbaugh dittohead. They've even drummed their own lingo about "Islamofascists (TM)" "Anti-Americans (TM)" and a "War on Terror (TM)" into the heads of their disciples. And I don't remember the Clinton administration trying to ram anything like the "Patriot Act" (the beginnings of a police state in America if there ever was such as thing) down our throats either.

Well put AY.
Clinton, (as well as Bush Sr., Reagan, and Carter) were typically welcomed by most foreign nations and their leaders when they visited the various nations of the world. Foreign leaders were probably willing to pay $$$ just in order to have an audience with Clinton in the White House. Smiles typically abounded.
As for Jorge Booosh, I'd bet that foreign heads of state feel a clenched sphincter reaction and stomach cramps when they hear that Jorge & Co. is coming to visit. Those same foreign heads of state probably decline invitations to come to DC too, being they don't want to be embarrassed by negroid airport workers stripping them down to their underwear and fingerprinting them.
[I]That's[/I] the difference.

That's the difference.[/QUOTE] The only reason Clinton, and his wife Cliton, were kept in check was the conservative counterweight in Congress, of varying stripes.
Note: his first act was "put the gays in uniform openly." First initiative.
If that is his priority, thanks but no thanks. He also threw away a winning hand, trying to gut an American military and spend it on BS all over the globe.
Now, is the current spending of our blood and treasure better or worse? More expensive in both, for sure. So maybe on that measure alone, Clinton was less trouble. Until you consider how he spead America's legs for China.
Sorry. He wanted US under UN and ICC jurisdiction. That is not harmless, that is the action of an enemy of the Constitution. In my book, that is Evil.
Angeleyes.

I consider the Bush Administration as nothing more than a continuence of the Clinton Administration when it comes to selling out, treason and sheer greed. Only the players are different.

The "sameness" and lack of vision of the last few offerings is disappointing.
What's that old saying? In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve.

The honorary degree is a way of honoring a pompous ass. No honest person would accept a degree he hadn't worked for. Honorary degrees are suitable only for realtors, chiropractors and presidents of the United States.
