Ron Paul Driving Sean Hannity Crazy

Debate polls drive Sean Hannity crazy.

With Rep. Ron Paul consistently topping online Republican presidential debate polls and the latest FOX GOP debate cell-phone poll (where it was impossible to vote twice), Sean Hannity is irked to say the least.

Sean Hannity really doesn’t like Ron Paul.

The crux of Hannity’s dislike appears to stems from Paul citing government sources that indicate U.S. foreign policy as a major contributor to Middle East anger against America, and thus, is partially to blame for the 9/11, 2001 attacks.

How Hannity does not understand this simple notion defies explanation.

Well, perhaps it doesn’t. Hannity appears to view the world through an emotionally defensive lens. While Paul’s arguments tend to be rooted in history, government reports, and logic, Hannity counters those claims with an ‘us vs. them’ mentality, believing the United States is incapable of wrong so long as we’re under threat of attack.

The 9/11 attacks were murderous and evil, and it is important to understand why people would take such an action. Anyone who’s even seen a police drama on television understands that murder investigators seek to understand the motive.

For Hannity, the United States of America is an innocent victim.

For Paul, the United States of America needs to understand and be responsible for its own actions.

Fox News commentator Sean Hannity sounds like a child arguing with his parents for getting in trouble for his own bad behavior.

In his own words, Sean Hannity has proved himself to be naive, ill-informed, and ridiculous. It’s sad that someone with as large of a microphone (and ego) could wrap himself in such a large a shroud of ignorance, shunning logic, history, and rationality. Hannity argues emotion against reason, nationalism over global responsibility.

Throughout history every great world power has weakened and been succeeded by another. Those believing in their own superiority and taking a defensive stance against the world have fallen faster. With America’s formidable preeminence in the world, we should not lean on our missiles and fears to maintain our position. Now is the time for reflection, to recognize our misdoings, rectify wrongs, build bridges with countries that have harbored hostilities, and expand our global alliances. There is no better time than while we hold this lofty position.

Wielding the world’s greatest arsenal while playing the victim is pathetic.

The people of the United States are not responsible for the evil attacks on September 11, 2001, but we are responsible for our government cultivating and fomenting an environment that breeds hostility towards this nation. We reap what we sow.

Ron Paul and many Democrats see this. Sean Hannity refuses to.

Arrogance is a powerful weapon of self-destruction.

America needs a president with a mature perspective that can bring out the true strength of this nation, not a person who plays towards our fears and emotional insecurities. Sean Hannity wants a daddy, America needs a leader.

Sean Hannity vs. Ron Paul Supporters

Sean Hannity says CIA reports and 9/11 Commission Report are a conspiracies:

Hannity: Mitzy, hi.

Mitzy: Hi Mr. Hannity. I was calling to let you know that I agree completely with everything you’ve said regarding amnesty today and the rule of law. However that only makes me all the more confused as to why it is you’re smearing Ron Paul and trying to silence him.

Hannity: I’m not trying to silence Ron Paul I put him on Hannity and Colmes after the debate the other night. I just had a disagreement. I find his remarks offensive. I find him totally and completely outrageous and wrong. I think he’s ill-informed. Look here’s what he said:

Paul [recording]: They’re attacking us because we’ve been over there. We’ve been bombing Iraq for ten years.

Hannity: I’m sorry I find his analysis naive, ill-informed, and frankly ridiculous. I’m not trying to silence him, I put him on TV that night.

Mitzy: Well his comments come directly from the CIA’s own comments and the 9/11 commission report.

Hannity: Listen, listen, go believe whatever conspiracy you want. I’m not going to sit here and waste time on the air arguing with you. You believe that…let me tell you something. You got to understand this enemy is coming here. They’ve dedicated their lives to destroying us. And if you don’t get that and Ron Paul doesn’t get that I just gently disagree.
