Sean Hannity is a douche

I'm so tired of this idiot. If his retarded rhetoric isn't being spliced into a humorous Daily Show or Colbert clip for my liberal amusement, I'm flat-out pissed off whenever I hear him speak. Yes, Sean Hannity's voice makes me want to punch infants. I think Dane explains it best:

He's a "big dick" (to quote the great Jon Stewart...okay, so he said that about Tucker Carlson, but it fits, right?) that interrupts his guests ad nauseum. Can someone please tell me why you would invite a guest onto your show when you simply plan on asking them a question in order to interrupt them as much as humanly possible?

Today, while working out at my gym, I saw him conduct one of his "interviews" on FOX News. He was interviewing Reverend Al Sharpton about how the NAACP did not support Sarah Palin for the Republican Vice-Presidential nomination, or something to that effect. So here was Hannity's logically infallible argument: how could any organization that supported minorities, women, etc. not support Palin?

WHAAAA?!?

So what you're telling me, Sean Hannity, is that an organization that represents and supports a certain group of people is prohibited from criticizing anyone belonging to that group? How does that make any sense? Heck, even Republicans don't strictly adhere to that backwards philosophy: e.g. it wasn't that long ago that conservative Republicans shuddered at the mention of John McCain's name.

Oh wait, I forgot that this doesn't surprise me at all. After all, for years Republicans have been operating under the assumption that anyone who doesn't unilaterally support America in all that it does is "unpatriotic." I guess GOP logic dictates that if you are one of Them, you can't be criticized by Them. Of course, this is absolute crap and always will be. It's the same logic that says that all African-Americans have to vote for Obama or that all women have to vote for Palin. It's so superficial in its conception that I cannot understand how this kind of thinking came to be.

I applaud any group that is willing to take a good hard look in the mirror and say, "Hey, maybe we support [insert group], but this person who belongs in this group doesn't support the same things we do. We don't support them." When did a group or organization (or country!) lose the right to dissent with members of its cause? It's this kind of dangerous thinking that leads us down the path of forced conformity and crushes freedom of expression and thought.

Hannity, shut it. It's people like you that remind me why, as politically moderate as I have become, I will always favor the left side as I continue my journey down the road of life.

To restore me to my happiness equilibrium, here's my favorite Stewart clip of all time (starts getting REALLY good around 6:30):
