Greg Palast on Hannity

Posted by Aaron on November 10th, 2004

More proof that you can’t have a conversation with Mr. Hannity. Greg Palast was on Hannity’s show this afternoon and all Sean wanted to do was “thank him” for being a lunatic. When Mr. Palast asked Sean if he could ask a question, Sean told him when he had his own show he could ask a question, but now he was going to “cut him off so he could make his point.” When he was done, he brought Palast back up and taunted him the whole time with organ music, Twilight Zone music, playing it over him any time that Greg spoke. He wasn’t allowed to say a damn thing. Sean asked him if he had written a piece calling Reagan a “rat,” and asked him if he wanted to call him that again, if it would make him feel good. Then Mark Levin got in and called him a “puke,” and a “moron” and said since he lived in London, he lived in what Levin called a “pink European state.” Then lots more ad-hominem attacks — “putz, dopey, etc.” And the whole session concluded with Levin telling Palast it was time for him to shut up and learn something about American elections. After that, they hung up on him. NOW can we stop giving these people the time of day? As long as they control the volume knob, as long as they control the media we will NEVER get our message across via any method other than indie media or the “internets,” as Bush likes to call it (them). It’s just not worth it. Let’s stop giving them more ammunition please? They’re NOT going to listen to you.
