Sean Hannity Calls A Democrat An Asshole
You can listen to the statement right here.
I had to listen to it twice before I picked up on the "asshole" part. I herd "jerk" a couple of times. Apparently Hannity had a pen or a paper clip in his mouth when he said the asshole part. Its barely audible. Still, he said it.
Which, of course, will lead to a chorus of "look how mean these guys on the right are" from various sources on the left.
To which I'll respond with this: A comment made during what was assumed to be a private conversation is a much, much different thing than comments made out loud, in public during the delivery of a speech. Just in the last few months or so Howard Dean has referred to Republicans as evil, brain-dead and racist, yet we're supposed to get up in arms over Hannity calling a Democrat congressman an asshole?
I'm not sure I'm willing to listen to criticism about civility from a group of people who think that discussing the likelihood of the Vice President consuming a baby or comparing President Bush to Adolf Hitler is meaningful political discourse.
