E tu Hannity?
Published by Mike Stark March 27th, 2006 in Sean HannityHannity started his show today by playing some clips of him calling into a WABC program (I dunno whose). The host had Alec Balwin on… Hannity called in with Mark Levin to harass Baldwin.
If I have the sequence correct, this is what happened:
Baldwin called Hannity a bunch of names, Hannity and Levin hung up, Baldwin went on to ridicule Hannity some more, Hannity and Levin called back, the host put them back on the air, there was a big circle-insult, Levin finally asked why Baldwin’s wife was upset with him and Baldwin walked off the set…
So Hannity plays it as Baldwin is a coward that can spew a lot of insults but shrinks from defending his positions. The truth, I suspect, has more to do with Baldwin thinking that his relationship with his wife is kinda personal and shouldn’t be brought up on the largest talk radio station in NYC by some asswipe with a right-wing jerk-off… but that’s just a guess…
I decided to call in… You see, Hannity calls me names and hangs up on me without defending his positions all the time.
I didn’t get to play today.
Evidently Hannity, unbeknownst to me, was on Wilkow’s morning show today… I’m not sure if Wilkow had a chat with Hannity (maybe O’Reilly did? maybe both?) but at any rate, Hannity knows about the site and evidently has decided to shut me out….
Chickenshit.

He’s unwilling to talk to you, even though things are stacked in his favor (mute button, call screener etc. )
Sean Hannity=chicken.
Looks like we need more people to step up and challenge him, so he can’t pick out who to keep off his show.
Today’s show was an absolute classic. I was steaming in my car listening to the full three hours. Couple of points to make about it. The entire show and I mean almost the entire three hours was devoted to, Alec Baldwin making personal attacks and being to “cowardly” to stand up to Sean Hannity. Sean rallied about him using personal attacks and how that is the staple of the Democratic party. Mike if you have it please post the Baldwin call because if I am not mistaken (and i was trying to get through all day) Sean calls him a gut-less coward before Alec calls him a single name. Secondly, he wouldn’t debate you which is so ironic it amazes me that his listeners don’t see that. And finally I made a list of the personal attacks he made against Alec Baldwin (whom I strongly disagree with many comments he has made in the past ie. stoning senators) but here goes….
Most of these were repeated numerous if not dozens of times throughout the show… He called Alec a: coward, a gut-less coward, an idiot, a cry baby, a baby, an ego-maniac, a nut-job, an unhinged Hollywood moron, and a loser.
Amazing what these people get away with… Not to mention why doesn’t he hold Ann Coulter responsible for calling for the poisoning of a Supreme Court Justice as he holds Alec Baldwin responsible for calling on the stoning of a Senator.
I heard you mike….you gave sean an out…..should have led him a little further
next time…call him a great american….than rip into him
however, he is a nasty hypocrite
Mike said this in his call to Hannity,
“You’ve called me an idiot more times than once and then hung up on me.”
(Offering no citation or previous calls to back up his claim, of course.)
I did not hear what Hannity said to Baldwin. If Hannity did call Baldwin a bunch of names, I don’t support that and I know Hannity is a much better debater and person than that to resort to name calling.
However, Mike’s indignation is very hypocritical.
Last week, Mike edited several of my posts, inserting pedophile type comments into my posts under the “maybe I am nuts” section
Example 1: “Mike you have totally changed my first post. (Jeez, if I had any sense, I’d realize that when I play in somebody elses back yard, I shouldn’t be shitting in the shrubbery. Debate is fine, but acting like a dick has its consequences.)”
Example 2: “man, I just can’t think straight… the I just reread my post about fondling little boys, and, well, it sent me all-a-dither… I’m gonna go rub one out for those MARINES I fetishize, but would never dare join…”
This behavior was even condemned by several on this site. Frankly, it is beyond childish and immature. If Mike is going to try and criticize Hannity, he should own up to his own childish and immature behavior.
Some debater he brought Baldwin’s wife into it:

After listening to the call, it didn’t seem like it was Hannity’s, Levin’s, or Baldwin’s finest hour. They all sounded like a bunch of little children bickering.
I have listened to Hannity make very good arguments on his own radio show and on tv. Why he chose to go down to Baldwin’s level and trade childish insults is beyond me.
And that ladies and gentlemen is why Alec Baldwin will not go onto Hannity’s radio show. You do not go to a guy that contr…err…abuses the mic like Sean does (when I say abuse the mic, I mean microphone and not a euphemism for chronic masturbation while calling your producer at night).
Most hosts have no problem defending their positions. That’s easy, just cut off the mike, insult the caller, problem solved. No, what Sean can’t do is defend his position. I’m not talking about every case. I’m sure he has reasonable stances on abortion, immigration, personal privacy and others. However, he can’t defend his comments against the Clinton administration and the Clinton’s themselves while demonizing comments made about Bush and his success in Iraq (I pressume it’s a success, I saw a video that said Mission Accomplished behind him. Has anything happened since then?)
However, Mike, you’re becoming too well known to the wingnuts it seems. Both a blessing and curse for talk radio.
Hey, Alec! What’s wrong with being a construction worker. Not everyone can live in the fantasy world of Hollywood stardom. Remember who put you where you are now. It’s not Al Franken. Now might be a good time in your life to start thinking before you open your pie hole. BTW, weren’t you leaving the country a few years ago? Why still here?
Haha! Funny post Matt!
Maybe Alec does not want to go to Europe where they will tax away whatever wealth he has left!
I know Hannity is a much better debater and person than that to resort to name calling.
LMFAO!!!!
BTW, Shammity deceptively aired a Baldwin clip that was from a SATIRICAL SKIT on Conan O’Brien’s show in 1999.

he wont play with you , because he is afraid of you and all his reptillian brain bot silver shirts know it . they now smell fear ( hannity )and the reflex is fight or flight, and he has chosen . great work Mike , Fight !
I appreciate it, chuck2. I aggree with your comments re: Sean and Levin. However, this latest episode just proves Alec’s M.O. of taking his ball and going home when he doesn’t get his way.

Hey Matt,
When Hannity immediately hung up on Mike , who do you think was “taking his ball and going home”???
Wake up!
To be fair, I don’t think Hannity actually hung up. I think the host just put Hannity on hold.
That being said, I think it was completely unfair for Hannity to bombard Baldwin the way he did. Hannity and his ass-buddy Mark Levin came prepared to fight. Baldwin did not expect to have to defend his political views against a raging neocon.
Nobody seems to comment on the fact that Hannity had to have back-up when he called, because he was obviously afraid that in a one-to-one debate with Baldwin, he would get his ass kicked. That’s why on his TV show, Hannity will only engage in debate with Alan Colmes when Ann Coulter is sitting there next to him.

Why does Delta Force hate America?
Wide awake here, ezsuds. Hannity never hung up. Maybe you’re the one that could use a little caffeine. Also, WABC program director backs up Hannity that Alec’s agent booked him on Hannity and Baldwin was the guy that punted. So who is really the one afraid to go 1-1 here? Oh, and by the way, Craig, Hannity regularly debates Jim Carville. So he’s afraid Baldwin but not of Carville? OK. It’s your world and I just live in it, man.
Or maybe Alec was “just joking” when he agreed to go on Hannity’s show. That seems to be his standard excuse whenever he says/does something stupid. And what a great sense of humor!!! That bit about Hannity being Gaelic for failure was killer!!! What a wit! All of you know that 1-1 Hannity would smoke Baldwin in a debate. This was the perfect opportunity for him to debate Hannity. Baldwin was the guest of liberal radio host, who is obviously sympathetic to him. And Hannity had no “mute button” that you like to whine about. But as soon as the conversation started, Baldwin starts in with the no-talent hack stuff. Please! Stop trying to defend this actor/putz.

Hannity hung up on Mike because he wants more intelligent and more interesting liberals on the air. Mike has been on Hannity’s show many times, we have all heard his points, which aren’t very coherent, or interesting and are unsupported (check the “Maybe I’m nuts” post where Hewitt asks Mike for citation and Mike cannot provide anything). Mike has had his shot with Hannity, and it’s time for more intelligent and thought provoking liberals to get on the air.”
You always talk about evidence… What evidence do you have that this is why Hannity hung up on Mike. That is your own assertion because you don’t like Mike’s politics and you don’t like his website even though you spend an incredible amount of time here. The truth is Hannity hung up on Mike simply because he has put the neo-cons in a small corner by posting their inconsistencies. Whether the arguments are perfect are not it has made the likes of O’Reilly and Hannity cower under their desks.
As for Hannity’s conversation with Mike, Mike was asserting that Hannity edited the sound clips to present out of context. Simply not true. He did only play the back-and-forth portion of the conversation, but it was in perfect context. And trust me, hearing Alec’s little diatribe once was more than enough. Your boy thought he was being funny, but was actually making an even bigger ass of himself. I know - hard to imagine, but true. I don’t even like the guy and I was embarrassed for him. Whitman was begging him to get back on with Hannity but Alec knew he was way out of his league and fought it tooth and nail.
Hannity has no “mute button”? Really?
I guess he has no “dump button” or delay either. I guess the FCC and ABC radio does not REQUIRE these devises so as to prevent obscenities from reaching the airwaves either.
Also, I cannot take Hannity’s program manager as a credible source for confirming that Baldwin was booked as an guest on Hannity’s show. I’m sure that if he told Hannity that he didn’t book Baldwin, he’d be out of a job.
Does he have emails confirming the booking? Any sort of contract for the appearance? When I see those, I’ll be the first to say I was wrong, Matt.
And yes, Matt, I do believe Hannity is afraid of Baldwin and not Carville. Carville is a moderate Dem married to Dick Cheney’s top aide. He makes a living “debating” people like Hannity, so he has to be careful not to say anything too offensive that would prevent him from being booked in the future. Baldwin is a far-left activist who is not afraid to pull any punches. So is Hannity afraid of him? Damn right, he is!
I guess Hannity and his aides are uncapable of lying, because we have no examples of that ever happening.
Oh wait, Hannity and his agent lied about why he backed out of a personal appearance:
http://www.studlife.com/media/paper337/news/2004/10/06/News/Hannity.Cancels.Appearance-743419.shtml?norewrite200603281428&sourcedomain=www.studlife.com
“After promising to counter Michael Moore’s speech this Friday, the conservative commentator pulled out of the deal less than a week before his scheduled appearance-but reportedly asked that the media not be informed of his motivations for the decision.
“Hannity cited personal reasons for his cancellation, said law student Ruth Hollander after speaking with the right-wing pundit over the phone yesterday. Hannity, Hollander said, requested a private jet to fly him to St. Louis for the speech, but then rejected ’several’ different jets offered by a private donor.
“‘[Hannity’s agent] said he thought we should say that because of the short time frame involved, it didn’t work out,’ said Hollander. ‘I said I didn’t think that was the truth, and…I really felt we had met all of our commitments and we were going to be honest when asked.’”
But I’m SURE he wasn’t lying when he said he booked Baldwin!
That example does not prove nor disprove Hannity’s assertion that Baldwin was booked for his show and then backed out.
OK, maybe it’s me, but if you are an excellent debater, why do you go on the air:
a) with no notice;
b) two against one; and
c) do both of these things when you have the “home court advantage?”
It does seem that Sean Hannity usually comes out poorly against anyone who: a) knows more than he does; and b) is not willing to be bullied by a pea-wit. The man’s standard answer is the ad hominem attack because that seems to be all he can muster. It really was a pathetic effort, but that seems to be his best.
chuck2 if you would have read my post:

Why didn’t you answer this post because then not 10 posts later you accuse someone of doing exactly what you did earlier in the thread. Say shit without presenting facts… Here is your post again just so you can see how ridiculous you sound when you are doing the exact same thing.
Do you have evidence or sources that show your assertion that:
“It does seem that Sean Hannity usually comes out poorly against anyone who: a) knows more than he does; and b) is not willing to be bullied by a pea-wit. The man’s standard answer is the ad hominem attack because that seems to be all he can muster. It really was a pathetic effort, but that seems to be his best.”
If not what is that assertion based on? Listening to a 10 min phone call? Hannity is on the air hundreds of hours per year. In order for your assertion to be correct, you would have to show a consistent pattern by Hannity over the hundreds of hours he is on the radio and tv each year. If you cannot do this, then you should retract your assertion.
sean shamitty says that Alec Balwin is a “second rate, washed up, has-been actor”
If Alec Baldwin is so irrelevant, why is sean so upset that Alec wont go on his show?
Sounds like sour grapes to me!
Also, what does hannity mean in Gailic?
You can’t be serious, Craig. So you are asserting Carville is a less worthy opponent than Baldwin. OK! Lay off the chronic, pal. And Carville a “moderate”??? Even better! LOL!!!
I guess anyone to the right of Stalin is a moderate, eh?
Also, it is widely known in talk radio that Baldwin has been trying to break into talk radio and his agent has been shopping him around to different shows.
C’mon, you guys really have to give it up on this. Just admit that the guy is an elitist Hollywood putz. The guy puts down construction workers and people from Long Island, even though that is where he is from. I guess if you’re not a Hollywood star, then your opinion doesn’t count. CLASSIC LIMOUSINE LIBERAL!
Yes, Carville is a predictable “opponent.”
The reason Baldwin brought up Hannity’s past is because he knows it gets to him. The reason Hannity brought up Baldwin’s ex-wife is because he knows it will get to him.
This “exchange” was something from a 5th grade recess and both parties are to blame for acting like children.
Why you are defending Hannity , yet chastizing Baldwin for the same thing?
