Heinous Hannity
Hannity aired an uncut audio version of Berg's beheading on his show. After doing so he immediately plugs his new book.
"It, this, it's unbelievable. Do you see what we're up against? How could anybody do that to another human being? How is that possible? And this is, I wrote this book, and I, I've not talked about my book purposefully, because I just think so many people just talk their book ad nauseum, and I did not want to do that. I'd love for you to read it. It's in bookstores everywhere and it's on Hannity.com."
I don't know what's worse, Hannity's reprehensible behavior or the fact that his little bitch Colmes never holds him accountable.
Comments
The Oregonian rightfully denounced the killing and the disgusting video promotion of the act by Zarqawi and his gang. However, they also claimed that the Berg killing will "backfire on them". Apparently Hannity believes something similar, as if Americans and the world didn't previously think that Al-Qaeda was a threat, or that they have absolutely no respect for the blood of innocents. Somehow, in this view, Berg's killing (and every terrifying scream that went with it) will wake us out of a slumber which 9/11 failed to wake us out of.
Sadly, at best Berg's killing will have no effect, positive or negative, for Al Qaeda. At worst, however, and more likely, it will harden civilized people, making them more likely to support reckless actions which harm not just Al-Qaeda, but innocents in Iraq and elsewhere. These actions only further Al-Qaeda's cause by destroying not American buildings, but America's credibility, moral authority, and determination to defend itself by honorable means. Hannity is all too happy to do PR for Al-Qaeda.
I just can't watch Hannity. But I laughed out loud at your description of Colme's as his "little bitch". Excellent.
