Sean Hannity is a Fox News star.
Fox News is a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. No serious, sane person believes otherwise.
Sean Hannity is an anti-Semite who loves to spotlight his fellow anti-Semites on this show.
His latest pal said, charmingly:
"Exterminate Jew Power."
Question: unless Fox News is openly anti-Semitic, why does Sean Hannity still have a job?
(more details...)
Fox News' Sean Hannity has a history of association with ant-Semites and racists, and it continues to this day.
First, there was Sean Hannity's association with Hal Turner, neo-Nazi, Jew hater, admirer of terrorists:
Turner was once a prominent activist in New Jersey's Republican Party. To area conservatives, he was best known by his moniker for call-ins to the Sean Hannity Show, "Hal from North Bergen." For years, Hannity offered his top-rated radio show as a regular forum for Turner's occasionally racist, always over-the-top rants. Hannity also chatted with him off-air, allegedly offering encouragement to Turner as he struggled to overcome a cocaine habit and homosexual leanings. Turner has boasted that Hannity once invited Turner and his son on to the set of Fox News's Hannity and Colmes. Today, Turner lurks on the fringes of the far right, spouting hate-laced tirades on his webcast radio show. Hannity, meanwhile, remains mum about his former alliance with the neo-Nazi, homing in instead on the supposed racism of black and Latino Democrats.
A former moving company manager and real estate agent, Turner cut his teeth as the Northern New Jersey coordinator for Pat Buchanan's quixotic 1992 presidential campaign. He was an aggressive self-promoter who found a platform for his views on the radio show of Bob Grant, which was broadcast by ABC's flagship station, New York City's WABC. Grant was a pioneer of right-wing radio and, incidentally, a hysterical racist. In March 1995, according to the media watchdog FAIR, Grant entertained the call of a promoter for the neo-Nazi group National Alliance who billed his mission as the "support of European males." "I don't have a problem with the National Alliance!" Grant twice declared. Less than one month later, the Oklahoma City Federal Building was blown up by a white supremacist who said he was influenced by the plot of National Alliance founder William Pierce's pulp novel, The Turner Diaries.
And now, Sean Hannity is using a notorious Jew-hater as a source to smear Democratic candidate Barack Obama:
(With all credit toJosh Marshall's TALKING POINTS MEMO)
Sean Hannity's Fox News Sunday night kitchen-sink sewer job on Barack Obama, complete with a sound-track cribbed from C- porn flicks, features prominently, as witness of Obama's iniquity, one Andy Martin, "author and journalist," and, though not identified as such on Fox News, perennial political candidate in four states.
Martin previously crawled out from under a rock according to Matthew Mosk in the WP, to "take credit for posting the first article to assert that the Illinois senator was a Muslim." More recently, he claimed, contrary to fact, that Obama, whom he called a "media witch doctor," has "locked his granny away and refused to allow her to be seen" in order to "pretend he has no white relatives."
Martin has been crawling beneath the rocks for quite some time.
According to no less a source than the Unification Church's impeccably right-wing Washington Times of December 22, 1999:
In 1986, when Mr. Martin ran as a Democrat for Connecticut's 3rd Congressional District seat under the name "Anthony R. Martin-Trigona," his campaign committee filed papers saying its purpose was to "exterminate Jew power in America and impeach U.S. District Court of Appeals judges in New York City.
This is the SOURCE that Fox News' Sean Hannity chooses to cite: a raging anti-Semite who wants to exterminate Jews.
Is Fox News OK with this?
Is the Republican party OK with this?
All of you Republicans who claim to be so in love with Israel and Jewish America: are you OK with Fox News' Sean Hannity citing a man who claims he wants to exterminate the Jews?
Hannity has a history of this, remember. See Hal Turner, above.
Is radical anti-Semitism the new face of the Republican party?
What do you think, John McCain?
Sarah Palin? Sean Hannity, the man who kissed the hem of your GOP-celebrity garment last week has a history of promoting and associating with raging anti-Semites.
Unless Sean Hannity apologizes and denounces his former associations, we can only conclude that Fox News, the Republican party Pravda, is promoting and endorsing anti-Semitism.
