Bann also said Hannity's never rude or obnoxious which is because he's one of the most obnoxious people on TV (behind Douchy, Olbermann and sometimes O'Reilly).

Just because he debates his side loudly?

Name one time that Hannity has been rude, boorish, or obnoxious to a GUEST. He just hasn't. He's a very decent person, doesn't use nasty language or insults to get his point across. He will latch onto his point like a dog on a bone, to a fault, maybe. But he's like Michael Steele - they were both in the seminary at one point of their lives, studying to be PRIESTS for heaven's sake! (Michael Steele went much further than Hannity)

Yes, he will debate til the cows come home. He is NOT rude, obnoxious or nasty - there's not a mean spirited bone in his body. There is no way he can be compared to the likes of Olbermann or even to Bill O'Reilly. Find me one example of his being obnoxious or rude. I'll bet you can't.

Far be it for you to, just once, overlook your propensity to bash the right and see that point though.

Thank you.

Andy's just pushing buttons to see how fast he can get kicked off in this screen name, too.

Maybe one even more Left that Colmes. He could have had a weekend show like Hannity without giving up the daily show. His radio show is on Fox News Talk Radio on XM. Heard him once, but he was not too good, as are most Left hosts.

Maybe he is being vetted for Hussein's press Secretary and wanted to make a break before he was chosen.

Fox seems to be cleaning housw, Britt Hume, E.D. Hill and now Alan Colmes. Something is afoot.

Britt Hume is the Managing Editor of the Fox News Washington Bureau, and has been there since they began in 1996. Fox isn't getting rid of him - he's stepping away on his own, deciding that after 35+ years in the news business, he wants to do other things besides work.

He was rude to Fr. Eutener of HLI. And Hannity claims to be Catholic. Father told him off for being in favor of non-Catholics using artificial birth control.

Why would a Catholic Father care what a non-Catholic does? I mean they're going to hell just for not being Catholic. Anything else they do is moot.

I could not recall this segment, so I did a search of the video on YouTube. I don't care about the Catholic issue. I'm not Catholic, so it doesn't bother me. I think you're confusing your opinion of Hannity's stance on this with your impression of his behavior. Hannity was not rude in this video, he was quite respectful. He obviously has disagreements with the Father, but again, he wasn't rude, obnoxious or anything like that.

And here in lies the problem of interpreting rudeness. If I go up to an pro-abortion advocate and say "I'm against abortion and I think it's an abomination." That pro-abortion person will think I'm being rude, when in reality all I'm doing is expressing my opinion.

That is the other issue about the left and their impression of FoxNews. If they make any hint of a right wing wind, they are (by cracky) right wing; even though they have just as much mention of the left as they do the right.

So, from a lefti-winger's perspective, because Hannity is right wing, he is rude.

Right.

Or is that left?

Fair and balanced.

From this "lefti-winger" I'd say I agreed with Hannity (for once).






He's still obnoxious though.
