Was not prepared for his voice.

"Any totalitarian regime - they attack two basic - ah - intermediary institutions."

Academics and and some demonized minority?

"The family and the church."






Oh. :(

looking forward to the next asteroid strike...

There is not enough mockery of these people in the world.

This is practically unintelligible. It's just a bizarre hash of right-wing talking points that are completely unrelated to each other.

"Gender neutral toys for young children are a direct assault on our values, which causes a problem because a high school in Virginia named a gay male prom queen, and it's all because the producer of "Friends" made an episode to piss off people on the right because he's so guilty about being rich that he has to shock the bourgeoisie into attacking the church. And the worst part is some undefined but large percentage of young people agree with this."

Ok, guys, great panel tonight!

They will twist anything into a victim fantasy.

These guys are absolutely right; I DO think I am morally superior to them.

The first thing he said was that he wants to execute children.

GOAL: Turn America into Plato/Bacon's idea of a Republic/New Atlantis. Give all wealth to an ideologically satisfactory few, transform all "lesser" people into soldiers to hire out for the elite to conquer the rest of the world.

PROBLEM: The people are kinda tired of wars.

SOLUTION: Destroy education, eradicate concepts of the "liberal arts", inevitably tie social safety net concerns to "voluntary" military service, insert concerns that economy isn't stable, convert to a new economy entirely in the hands of the ideologically elite, build a gigantic skull shaped island in the middle of the Atlantic, topped with magical death ray weapons and giant crystals.

I was fully ready for this to be an Onion news story. This is by far worse. :(

"I watched Andy Griffith and Green Acres". By golly gee whiz, that makes you a patriot, Mr. Hannity. Amazing how the right continues to look to the past for values. Tea Party, Founding Fathers, etc. Don't they realize that pandering to old folks is a bad marketing scheme? I mean, eventually.....well, you know.

You know, after reading Vaidency's and sjohnson301's post I am actually impressed with how they fit all those "points" and others besides into 4:27. They weren't even speed talking.

I love 1:20
"...a direct assault on our countries moral foundation, and that's a problem because..." stops talking, gives a little nod, knows he won't have to finish the sentence.

It's like Andy Rooney has split into 4 parts (and the sum of their ages probably equals 1 Andy Rooney)

...or is it just only natural for creative people (ie, screenwriters, authors, painters musicians or other artsy types) to gravitate towards morally open and accepting world views and shun the moral standards of society (their elders or authority figures) to facilitate their creative process and make their mark on society?

Nah that's bullshit IT'S THE LIBERAL AGENDA!!! NEW IS SCARY!!! GO TO CHURCH AND LEARN SOME REAL MORALITY FROM OUR OLD BOOK!!!

"If you look at any big government regime, any authoritarian regime, any totalitarian regime, they've attacked two basic intermediary institutions: the family and the church."

Yes. This is historically true. No one has ever used the idea of family and church as a method of gaining and maintaining political power. Especially not in America.

The alphabet has a liberal bias.

Not sure what episodes of Sesame Street Hannity's seen, but I remember the show being pretty much 90% reading, writing, and math.

The rest, admittedly, was perverse degenerate filth about sharing and helping.

So it will turn them into the kind of likable and popular person that would get picked by their high-school to be prom queen despite crossdressing?

I think someone wished they could have been prom queen
