First, as far as thinking that "to each according to his need" was Marxism, Engels acknowledge that this phrase came from the bible, Acts 2:44-45, "All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need." So, if Hannity thinks that's Marxism then he is calling Christianity Marxist as well. Secondly, puppet governments in Iraq and Afghanistan are not freedom. His moronic repug talking point is that Bush gave freedom to 50 million people, but at a cost of $500 billion so far, that's cost us $10,000 per person. That's way worse than welfare, particularly because it doesn't work. Having daytime curfews in Iraq and the opium warlords running afghanistan is dictatorship, not freedom and it creates enemies faster than we can kill them. Thirdly, as to the economy, this is the weakest recovery ever, propped up by a housing bubble that is already starting to burst and defense spending that only helps the massive military corporations. McJobs are all that the bush administration has created as they have steadily outsourced everything from our ports to our high tech research. Also, as far as Hannity bluster about being a self-made man, I wonder if he ever attended public school, or used public libraries or if the college that he dropped out of got government financing. Certainly he drives on government roads and breathes air protected by the clean air act and drinks water that, until recently, was clean because of government oversight. Yet he insists, contrary to all objective facts, that he doesn't need government and he does everything for himself. We do need public transportation, especially in big cities too congested to drive, and without public education the average republican would actually be illiterate, rather than simply acting like it. We are losing jobs to countries like canada because they provide health care to their citizens and companies don't have to pick up the tab. Our economy would be in much better shape if we extended the public school system to provide day care, so that mothers could get back into the job market. Hannity says we should work, but a women with young kids can't work because she is legally obligated to supervise her young children and this often prevents her from going to school or work. If Shawn was really pro-life, as opposed to just being a pro-lie blowhard, then he would realize that providing public day care would make abortions less necessary.

Bush wouldn’t even testify under oath for it, your listeners should all look this up for themselves. How is THAT strong on security?” I'm no Republican but i never wanted that damned DHS. It's a money-wasting disaster. DHS is the reason Katrina was such a nightmare (besides the winds and flooding, of course). The DHS was a bad idea from the get go. “Hey Sean, you are either forgetting or lying to your listeners, but the Republicans fought the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security tooth and nail.

Perhaps

But when they go over they hit the ground, hard.

Like when O’Reilly was nailed last week for the Iraq Occupation flip-flop. Six more of those and he’s Morton Downey Jr. all over again.

So it’s not about winning the entire call. Instead, it’s about getting them on the record so that when they turn turtle six weeks form now the watchdogs or a re-con mission can nail them.
