I love when the Republicans get caught.
Hannity played an audio tape on his Friday show claiming that it was from relief efforts in NJ. Non union workers were shouted away in a horrible manner while trying to help in the restoration of power in the states affected by Hurricane Sandy.
My husband (a republican) jumped on it immediately. I said to him "is there video". No video yet but "I am sure there will be" he said. He told me that he heard it on Foxradio and tried to find a link for me.
I tried to tell him that I would not believe it until I saw definite proof, anyone can find audio and claim it to be something it is not.
Low and behold. This morning I ventured over to Daily Caller who jumped on the story as well and found this.
UPDATE: The Daily Caller has learned that the audio Sean Hannity played during his Friday, Nov. 2 broadcast was taken from a 2011 union protest against replacement workers during a Verizon strike. A YouTube video of the protest carries a description naming the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, local 827, as the source of the comments. That union local is based in East Windsor, N.J.
The Daily Caller regrets compounding the confusion

The audio Hannity played Friday featured what he said were “union thugs” berating utility workers from Alabama.
“That’s who you hurt, scumbags! That’s who you fucking hurt! Scumbags!” a loud voice on the audio recording is heard shouting. ”Fuck all of you fucking losers! That’s who you hurt! You’re taking it from our families! Good jobs!”
I love it when the right wing has to get a story and then add more and more. I love it even more when they get caught with their pants down.
My husband is not awake yet, but rest assured I will be showing him the article and have him eating crow. Call me a bitch, but I love it when I am right.
