And Yet Another Fine Display by Hannity

Sean Hannity has got to be one of the most despicable commentators of all thenews channels. He continuously brow beats, bullies and antagonizes his guests.He'll be speaking to a respected individual that has a different view than hedoes, and his attempt at showing his other right wing guests (and America) thathe is the Almightiest Patriot of them all, displays nothing shy of disrespect.His repeated taunts of "answer yes or no" have gotten to the point of amusement.The guest will try and answer Hannity's question in an educated thoughtful way,and that will simply not do for Mr. Hannity. This is evident in the video.

 

If a guest disagrees with him, he goes right into his normal behavior andvery rarely will you see him act in a professional manner as the majority of commentatorsdo. Losing your composure once in a while is normal, but with Hannity his unprofessionalbehavior seems to be HIS norm. He comes across as not being very knowledgeableand often plays off of his "teams" comments. If he continues to refuseto treat guests with dignity and respect, then why have them on at all?

As far as Hannity is concerned, we should not speak to any of our enemies.Diplomacy is not an option. I suppose in Hannity's world, it's "OurWay" or the "Bombs Way". He is a closed minded, militant warmonger. He also partakes in berating his co-host (Alan Colmes) every chance he gets.

All this comes at a time when Iran just released the 13 British sailors.

Every time I see this meme that we can't be talking to our enemies, that Iran's president is a Holocaust denier and we'd be validating him by talking to him, I wonder if this theory would pan out with professional police negotiators.

When you have a hostage crisis, or someone threatening to commit suidicide etc, a negotiator is usually one of the most important members of a team because they start to make a connection with the person and try to talk them down. If they said, "We'll start negotiating with you, but first you have to release all your hostages and throw away your weapons," I don't think they'd get very far.

That's exactly right Chris. Talking doesn't mean letting them off the hook, or letting them "win".
