Said he jumped out of his seat and cheered Rand's speech last night. Then said he disagrees with Ron on war, but libertarians have it right on the economy and are in line with the founders. Even mentioned not understanding why the GOP establishment is opposed to this. HAHAHA! It begins...

Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck and all the other FNC "conservatives" are just so much rubbish. They are all for big government as long as it works for them. The entire bunch of them including O'Reilly and Brit Hume are just as bad as the creeps on the other networks. I like Fox Business but not Fox News.

Hannity's a snake, but it's nice to see that he's feeling the pressure to pay us lip service. That in turn will further change the political climate.

I believe you that he said that on the radio, but no he did not.
He was at the Fox News studios, probably hanging out with Rick Santorum and Gingrich and going "gaaaah, can't believe he won."

He believes in a "strong national defense", he has said so many times. The only thing he may differ with Hannity on is the idea of congress declaring war. How hundreds of sociopaths declaring war is any different than 1 is beyond me.

He's been vocally against the Iraq war, and has not committed to the Afghan surge
He's also against the Patriot Act, doesn't want to hold Gitmo legal innocents indefinitely, and wants to see declarations of war when war is debated.

Sure, but hundreds of people making a decision on your behalf with your money without your consent isn't any better than 1 person doing this. War is bad for everyone, no matter who is doing the declaring.

Ron Paul is not a pacifist. Ron Paul believes in a strong national DEFENSE. He just doesn't support using our troops for imperialistic aggressive ambitions.

Instead of calling Hannity a snake, we should consider him a faithful mouthpiece for the Republican Party, wherever it is going and whoever takes over. He can see the handwriting on the wall, and he won't resist the groundswell. Consider him a butler. When we get into the office, he is there to serve.

And who in the world would be against a strong national defense? Honestly. Are you for a weak national defense? Naive.
I think Rand Paul and Shawn Hannity define national defense a lot differently.

I'm for defending myself, yes. But I'm completely against someone forcing me at gunpoint to pay for a collective defense. Please watch the Philosophy of Liberty video. Collective defense is an anti-freedom idea which can only be paid for by pointing guns at people and forcing them to pay:

I don't trust any of the talkbots anymore. I hear what they have to say, but it's always through a b.s. filter, and I never, ever will base my vote on what these people say. Disgusted that I ever trusted them or a party label.
Just imagine Hannity's reaction had Grayson won.
Ok, I won't do that again.

Yeah, Hannity is a Republican Party gatekeeper. I have a radio in my room that is turned to an AM station, volume low, because I've always fallen to sleep to Coast to Coast since I was a kid. (Makes for good dreams) So, if I'm home during the day I catch Rush, Hannity, or Savage if I haven't turned it off. I do like to hear what him, Beck, Maddow, Olbermann, CNN, PBS, etc. are saying though. That way, I can keep up with the current spin, political memes, and the basic structure of discourse being given to the masses at a certain time. This makes for easier discussion with other people and easier conversion of their thought on issues they are wrong.

With the exception of shutting down guantanamo, Rand and Ron share almost exactly the same positions. The difference is that they are framed in a way that wins elections in Kentucky instead of educating for a movement. I can understand if it bothers some that Rand panders. It does work.

He has to carry a state and maybe in future a nation, he's going to play the game of trying to offend the least amount of people and shape his message to appeal to as many people as possible including neocons.
That is how you win power and the neocons and big spending liberals have perfected the art now we use their means against them

Rand said he'd have demanded a declaration of war for Afghanistan and that he'd have voted against the war in Iraq. So that's at least 75% disagreement with Hannity on the wars. I know it's not perfect, but it's nowhere near "mostly agrees".

We need to keep an open mic near Hannity every time Rand is mentioned. Remember how he caught Jesse Jackson's remark about Obama? No doubt Hannity says the same thing "in private".
YouTube - Jesse Jackson on Barack Obama; "I Wanna Cut His Nuts Off" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zS883xWTKOg)
We're taking over!
Taking over what? "We" haven't even taken over KY, so don't get ahead of yourself. Rand's win is a good first sign, but it is a tiny step. Let us hope is marks the beginning of a devastating political tsunami against the current status quo of the authoritarian welfare state.

It's not about trust and honestly I've heard the guy speak only a couple of times but it is what it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-listened-to_radio_programs
The guy has more than 16 million listeners daily. To put that in perspective I believe McCain won the Republican primary with less than 16 million votes. Most of Hannity's 16 million are Republican.
If he is saying good things about Paul we should be happy about it and do whatever we can to make sure that continues to be happen.
Right now, Rand is holding alot of cards, so the pundits will kiss his ring.
The one on his hand or between his cheeks?
He believes in a "strong national defense", he has said so many times. The only thing he may differ with Hannity on is the idea of congress declaring war. How hundreds of sociopaths declaring war is any different than 1 is beyond me.

Wait a minute... Belief in a strong national defense is not the same as being a war mongering psychopath. I believe in a strong national defense capability - I many not define it the same way as many, but that is not the point. I believe we must be strong because we have a LOT of enemies out there. That does not mean I believe we should be prosecuting these ridiculous wars, for example. Quite the opposite.
Ron Paul is not a pacifist. Ron Paul believes in a strong national DEFENSE. He just doesn't support using our troops for imperialistic aggressive ambitions.
Actually, he is, AFAICS. What he is not is a passivist. I am a pacifist, but if you take a swing at me I will smack you right back. I believe that pretty well summarizes Ron Paul's position, though I would not call myself an expert there. It is the sound position, IMO. This war-mongering, reactionary shit is getting us into a LOT of trouble.
Consider [Hannity] a butler. When we get into the office, he is there to serve.

^truth
what a great post. everyone has had a moment of unusual power, like being put in a position that feels important or elite.
These guys get that all the time, and are addicted to it. Lacking morals, they'll do or say anything to remain in position to keep the fix coming. Luntz, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck, Colmes, Olbermann, Edwards, Pelosi. Pretty much the personality type the establishment is looking for in applicants.
The scariest ones are those who believe they are spiritually justified in these actions. When the 'raw power' feeling becomes the 'God's Righteousness' feeling, you get zealotry and serious sociopathic tyrants.

I guess Hannity would fall under category #1 below?? a KNAVE:
The ostensible supporters of the Constitution, like the ostensible supporters of most other governments, are made up of three classes, viz.: 1. Knaves, a numerous and active class, who see in the government an instrument which they can use for their own aggrandizement or wealth. 2. Dupes—a large class, no doubt—each of whom, because he is allowed one voice out of millions in deciding what he may do with his own person and his own property, and because he is permitted to have the same voice in robbing, enslaving, and murdering others, that others have in robbing, enslaving, and murdering himself, is stupid enough to imagine that he is a “free man,” a “sovereign”; that this is “a free government”; “a government of equal rights,” “the best government on earth,” and such like absurdities. 3. A class who have some appreciation of the evils of government, but either do not see how to get rid of them, or do not choose to so far sacrifice their private interests as to give themselves seriously and earnestly to the work of making a change.
