Deliver us from Insanity, March 17, 2006
From the melodramatic title to the end, this book was a tough read. Sean's remarks are simplistic to the point of imbecility. (His logic is something akin to: all lemons are yellow; my car is yellow; my car must be a lemon.) He even repeats himself, and his references are shoddy.
This is the man who voiced opposition to President Clinton sending troops to Bosnia to eliminate the genocide and ethnic cleansing, which it did. Sean asserted that it was his patriotic duty to speak out as an American, and his exercise of free speech. He asked, how this president could justify his actions to American families when their relatives started coming home in body bags. When Bush invaded Iraq, patriotic duty and free speech went out the window when he asserted that criticism of the Bush administration was undermining our national resolve.
His real low point came when a renegade NYC Police Officer named Volpe sodomized Abner Luema (spelling?) with a broom handle in a police precinct. With nothing more than an intuition, Sean announced on the air that maybe that penetration came from the victim's lifestyle. Sean and Volpe's father shared microphones as they crooned a popular melody with made-up lyrics that implied the same. The crooning stopped suddenly when Volpe was fired from the force, and admitted to the sodomy.
Sean again showed his patriotism and wisdom in 1998 when President Clinton announced that a terrorist named Usama bin Laden and his al Qaeda group were the biggest threat to the US. Hannity joined the chorus of republican legislators who ignored the warning, accusing Clinton of "wagging the dog" in order to take focus from the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Naturally, the bottom line is that all liberals are evil, and all conservatives are good. All liberals are blind, and conservatives are visionary.
There's just one question I have that Sean seemed to miss, and didn't address:
He claims:
Bill Clinton was responsible for 9/11.
President Bush was only in office eight months.
It wasn't enough time to prepare us against terrorist attack.
Okay.
The first bombing of the World Trade Center occurred six weeks after Bill Clinton came to office.
Does that mean that it was Clinton's predecessor, George Bush's father (41) who was responsible for the first bombing?
Finally, all his callers compliment him as a patriotic American, but what has this man done except talk? Like most chickenhawks, he's a great talker, but you have to walk the walk. I'm waiting for Sean to take his first step.

Of course it irritates liberals. That was Hannity's point., February 20, 2004
By A Customer
I suspect that some of the cute people trashing this book 1) haven't read the thing, in which case they're being intellectually dishonest, or 2) have read the book and understand too well the implications therein - that they themselves help to uphold the evil which does actually exist (duh) in the world.
Most reviewers here fall into category one.
The category twos cannot be reached in any case (cough - Madeline Albright - cough).
The third possibility is that the reviewers are too stupid to understand, though the concepts of good and evil have been around as long as humanity. This would explain why some of them are distraught at the thought of any criticism by the French, despite the fact that France was partially to blame for the genocide in Rwanda and took part in the atrocities of the Holocaust during the Second World War.
Mr. Hannity does a pretty good job of showing why liberals in the three categories act as they do, and why the end result often supports dictators and terrorists. In the process, Mr. Hannity makes a strong case as to why liberals cannot be trusted with issues of national security.
To the "hard-ass" - We appreciate the fact that your true character (e.g. your arrogance, condescension, and vitriol) is coming out now. And since it is, the marginalization of your worldview should be that much more easily managed.
