News Hounds — Sean Hannity and Mark Levin, the two chickenhawks who keep boasting about their patriotism, spent their entire segment on Hannity last night (8/7/09) talking about how much they hate Democrats, President Obama and his administration. Not only that, at a time when town halls are erupting in hostility and violence around the country, the two “patriots” fanned the flames of belligerence, making such accusations as, “If something terrible happens at one of these town hall meetings, I think the president in part can be held accountable,” and “The president is at war with the American people, politically.” There was ...
