Hannity tells Chuck Norris that Ron Paul is nuts
November 14, 12:36 AMLA County Libertarian ExaminerMartin Hill

In a segment titled "Chuck and Gena Norris on American Politics" Sean Hannity asks Norris if he would ever consider runnning for the U.S. Senate. Gena Norris says she would support whatever decision he makes. Norris scoffs at the idea, saying "with all the senators there you can't get anything done."

Hannity: I disagree with you. You can!

Norris: What would I do, I'd have to choke out all the democrats? (laughter from both)

Hannity: thats a good start , you know, what do you call a lawyer at the bottom of the ocean?

At 2:26 in the video, Norris continues, "it's kind of my sayings, one of the facts, America's not a democracy, it's a Chucktatorship.

Hannity: I'd like a Chucktatorship.

Norris: Yeah and if it was, I said I would go to congress , I'd line up every member of congress, and I'd have Ron Paul, who I believe is the, probably the, one of the more honest ones there, and I'd say Ron, point out the honest ones.

Hannity: I like Ron Paul, he's nuts.

Norris: yeah I know. That's why I like him.

Hannity: Alright, yeah, well there you go,

Norris: he's nuts, but anyway, I'd choke out every dishonest politician that's up there.
...

Hannity then continues, "you dont think theres a dimes worth of difference between the two parties?"

Norris: I'm very disapointed because we had the republican majority in congress..

Hannity: And they blew it.

Norris: and they blew it. and we had George W. Bush, and they could have made a strong positive difference in our country, and they didn't."

Hannity then tries to explain that the Republicans have 'lost their way' but how he sees "very bold differences" between the two parties on several issues.

At 3:38, Hannity once again tries to marginalize Paul, saying "Because Ron Paul's a libertarian. Reagan said, and I'm a big Reagan supporter. I consider myself a Reagan conservative, Im not a Republican, although most people think I'm a republican. Im a conservative. Absolutely. But Reagan said it in '75, is it a third party we need, or a revitalized second party.
they need to take back the republican party

At least those were the types that established the neoconservatives. The everyday neocons like Hannity are just blind followers.

Nuts:

a crazy or eccentric person

Eccentric:

deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice, etc.; a person who has an unusual, peculiar, or odd personality, set of beliefs, or behavior pattern.

* * *

Perhaps "eccentric" is a better word, but yeah... I don't see this as much of an insult. We care what Hannity says because...? People who pay attention to him are already a lost cause. There are key policy points that are not about to change, and that make them anathema to actual freedom. The good news is that if freedom were ever to take hold, they'd quietly complain about it and do nothing (rather like what goes on now when everything else is taking hold).

The few seconds I caught of the show last night he was making the case that we could have won Vietnam if the politicans were behind it. Possibly, but he is nuts to think sacraficing ones life in Vietnam is worthwhile under any changed circumstances. This tool usually is a good barameter of where the party is going and if that is the case we are seriously screwed.

I hope the responses in this thread become common knowledge to the average Joe. He needs to be exposed as the complete fraud that he is. The man is by no means a Conservative and is a big government neocon tool.

I wasn't around at the time, but from what I have read, YES we could have "won" in vietnam; but we were not allowed to.
For example:

1. The air force was repeatedly refused permission to bomb those targets that the Joint Chiefs of Staff deemed most strategic.
2. US troops were given a general order not to fire at the vietcong until fired upon.
3. Vehicles more than 200 yards off the Ho Chi Minh trail could not be bombed. (enemy supply trucks forewarned of approaching us planes had only to temporarily divert off the trail to escape destruction)
4. A north vietnamese MIG could not be struck if spotted on a runway, only if airborne and showing hostile intent.
5. Surface to air missile sites could not be bombed while under construction; only after they became operational.
6. Enemy forces could not be pursued if they crossed the border into Laos or Cambodia.
7. We boosted trade with the soviet bloc, which furnished 80% of the the enemies supplies -- we in effect were supplying our enemy.

For example:

The military-industrial complex wanted no part of a short war. A slow bleed is much preferred for armament contracts.

For example:

What you have read is irrelevant to the point. The Viet Nam War was started by falsified means, the Gulf Of Tonkin incident was staged, we have the tapes, it's documented beyond doubt. We brutalized a sovereign nation and later the entire region for geopolitical gain. If "winning" would have constituted the slaughter of each and every Viet Namese or Cambodian.....or Laotian so be it. Would that make you proud? Would it make us justified?

Chuck the knuckle dragging actor is up there with another knuckle dragging actor associating freedom with militarism and violence. For money.

If the U.S. could have left that hellish place 10 years earlier, then yes. And I'm not implying the murder of every cambodian and vietnamese. There is a way to fight a war effectively and efficiently.

Yeah, that's me. A big warmonger, kill em all let god sort them out kinda guy. :rolleyes:

What I posted was not irrelevent to one of the point I was replying to: "that we could have won Vietnam if the politicans were behind it"
Whether the war was justified or how it got started is fairly irrelevent to my point. If we are going to go to war, then we should fight it, win it, then go home. There is plenty of historical evidence that the people that pushed the war and controlled the war didn't want us to "win". As cited by my short list above. If you have a problem with what I actually said then please feel free dispute it.

Think about how many hundreds of thousands of vietnamese and the thousands of americans would be alive, if they pursued a sound strategy to win the war?

Indeed. 5/7 restrictions on the list I posted dealt directly with not allowing our forces to destroy military supplies or locations. It seems to me that would have severly limited the vietcong's ability to wage war....

I can only listen to Hannity for about 2 minutes before I have to change the channel. He is a well programmed robot, saying the same things over and over. I lost complete respect for him after he attacked Ron Paul during the election.

These mainstream media conservative talking heads seem to have been told to distance themselves from Ron Paul. Mark Levin is another loudmouth know-nothing who calls himself a conservative. They make their millions of dollars to keep Americans focused on the commie Democrats, and not the people behind the whole left-right charade.

11-14-2009, 04:12 PM

Look at the bright side. If Hannity is back on the attack then certain people are noticing Ron's very successful early campaigning for a possible 2012 run. It's hard to ignore that he's bringing in up to 1000 people just for a speech in early primary states! Fox and Hannity gotta remind the sheep again why they "hate" Ron while trying not to piss us off too much. Backhanded compliments like that and whatnot. The good part is that more and more people are liking what they hear from Ron so every time Hannity or his guests mention Ron it's a good thing.

The flip flop is this: Conservatives want Reduced Domestic Spending and Government Programs so that money can be pumped into Defense and overseas policy. Democrats want the exact opposite.

i didnt read the whole thread, but I must maintain my consistent position over the years - Hannity is a war monger neo con loser. While I catch him on the drive home often, its very annoying how he can rip Obama and then use his neocon slant to proclaim every war we are in needed. He quotes this as "conservative" and only fools his neocon-like-him listeners. Any more I can only stand him when he talks about government overspending, but again even there he would never consider cutting any government waste

Whenever a caller challenges him on his neocon traits he does the stupid shit like he did by calling RP "nuts" or he hangs up on them and goes on his George Bush ass kissing parade triade and how safe "W" kept us

Why are we focusing on Hannity's hating on Dr. Paul and not Chuck Norris's endorsement of him? Perhaps this entire thread is unfairly spun? Why can't we get Norris to endorse Dr. Paul if he runs in 2012?

I largely agree with you. Frankly, this was not a heavy-handed condemnation of Dr. Paul, and that's a bit of an improvement.

Norris will be busy endorsing Huckabee if Huckabee runs for anything in 2012, though.

I realy like Chuck, but I listened to him on Health Care and his views on European HC and then the US breakdown. Chuck is way way way off and like most Americcans, making 100% decision on 5% information.

As for Hannity, He truly needs to be pelted with yellow snowballs this winter. Well, the fuse to discrediting the competition has begun, since we're below the one year mark on the coming elections. Lay the slight qurstioning ear work first... then ramp up if the polls are favoring our candidates of the RINO NEOCON faascist corporatists.
