Talk:Sean Hannity

Just look at the external links for the Hannity page - basically his homepage, some biographical information and a bunch of pages that bash him. Take this article at face value.

Calmypal: it's a hoax. it's an April Fool's joke. -- Nunh-huh 22:01, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Sean Hannity apologising to Bill Clinton? Definitely not a joke. - Woodrow 22:02, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• You should have listened to the whole program. It was a joke. It was a Bill Clinton impersonator, by the way. - Nunh-huh 22:03, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Even if he ought to, it's still a joke. April Fool's is well and good, but in articles it's going too far. Meelar 22:04, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

However did they find an Al Gore impersonator? How is it that the one time I walk away from the radio, he says it's a joke? Oh well, my apologies. - Woodrow 22:10, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• Al Gore & Bill Clinton were done by the same guy. He's pretty good. I can never remember impersonator's names though. -Nunh-huh 22:18, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Link to WSB

Is the WSB link about WSB-FM, WSB-AM, or WSB-TV?? 66.245.66.197 14:10, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I'd have to make a total guess and say AM, because those are usually the talk stations (FM being music, dunno bout TV). Ilyanep 15:40, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Hold on one second (wait*100)

Are these quotes absolutely neccesary...there are no quotes on Michael Savage or many other radio hosts...(plus, see argument on Talk:FOX News). Ilyanep

Of course the quotes are necesary

Duh. He's a paid speaker, so of course it's necesary to know some of the things he says. I'm sorry if they make him look bad but unfortunately he said them. If you want to add quotes where he says something you feel makes him look good then feel free and add them. And by the way there are indeed quotes for Michael Savage, I should know, I added them myself.

• Quickly converts to Michael Savage fan*. Fine...I'll do some of my own research. Ilyanep 01:32, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

You're a Michael Savage fan???? That is absolutely disgusting. He is a fascist. How can any sane person justify the person who said "Instead of putting joysticks, I would have liked to have seen dynamite put in their orifices."

You're more of a fascist

Please dePoliticize this

We don't post pictures of historical figures in the bathroom. Neither do we need to post all quotes taken out of context with intent to defame. Though these quotes, and these photos, exist, it is unnecessary to post them.

Please, someone depoliticize this.

Wait. It is unnecesary to post them? What the hell is this? This man speaks for a fucking living, it's his job to say things. Of course it's important to know what he says, I'm sorry if they make him look bad. If you don't like it find some other quotes you do like, go for it, I won't stop you. What the fuck are you so interested in protecting Hannity for? Especially when on his show he feels free to attack people all the time. I'm sorry if you can't deal with these quotes, but as a man whose job it is to babble its extremely important for people to know what he says. And use your handle next time, it gives you at least a shred of credibility. StoptheBus18 14:41, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The quotes are too much

One or two quotes might be good for this article, but the excessive amount of quotations here (especially as they're one-liners, almost certainly out of context) really ought to be removed, maybe to Wikiquote. Especially with the article as brief as it is, the list of quotations just isn't appropriate. That's my opinion. Jwrosenzweig 21:36, 6 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Real name

I can't find a source for it now, but I could've sworn I read somewhere once that his birth name is David and that he's only used Sean since he got involved with radio. I also think that came up once when he had some woman on his television show who was arguing with him, and she called him "David" in order to tick him off, after which he said that people only use his real name to cheap shot him when they can't think of anything else to say. Granted, I am in no way a fan of this guy, so I don't know a whole lot about him, but I'm almost certain I've heard that before. Anyone know anything about that? Beginning 14:05, Aug 30, 2004 (UTC)

I don't know, his son is named Sean, but it doesn't say he's Jr. Everyking 15:58, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I agree, this page needs to be re-written

This is quite obviously a case of selective quoting with an intent to defame. Can we just stick to the facts of the history of his life? Now, if there are quotes that he has made that he's been criticized over (similar to Dan Rather's "Courage"), it might be valid to bring them up as such. Of course, one would still have to be careful in that regard, since his entire job is to incite comments. He's not a "journalist" in the Dan Rather sense. However, I notice I don't see any quotes on the Al Franken page.

Anyway, this entire page needs to be scrapped and re-done.

It's in no way neutral

There is really only one quote on here that characterizes Sean Hannity; the rest are simply presented as swipes at his character. It's not at all neutral.
