Alan Colmes threw all the conservatives off their game by pointing out the similarities between John Edwards' infidelity and John McCain's. After denouncing John Edwards as unworthy of public office for having cheated on his ill wife, none of the three conservatives could come up with a decent explanation of why McCain's similar behavior was any less despicable. From the 8/12/08 Hannity & Colmes.
In another night of attacking Barack Obama over his associations, Sean Hannity was confronted about his past relationship with white supremacist Hal Turner. First Hannity denied knowing Turner, then he said he had long ago banned Turner from his show. Then, in a tacit admission, Hannity said "I'm not running for president."
Hannity "forgot" his own direct association with white supremacist Hal Turner as he attacked Barack Obama's indirect association with Louis Farrakhan. Meanwhile, Hannity also overlooked the endorsement of John McCain by anti-Catholic John Hagee who is far wealthier and more powerful than Farrakhan today. From the 2/28/08 Hannity & Colmes.
During an entire show devoted to attacking Barack Obama's pastor, Sean Hannity gloated that the controversy will cost him the presidency and demanded that he resign from the Senate. From the 3/14/08 Hannity & Colmes
On the 3/10/08 Hannity & Colmes, white supremacist sympathizer Sean Hannity once again tried to smear Barack Obama's church and its pastor as racists. Al Sharpton explained why the "black values" promoted by the church should be honored, not attacked.

Building the case for racial and religious fear about impending Obama candidacy, O'Reilly widens his net to include white Catholic defender of Jeremiah Wright and Louis Farrakhan. We're witnessing Swiftboating 2008, or Pastorgate. More and comments at www.newshounds.us
Sean Hannity is not the sharpest tool in the shed but he's smart enough to understand that when his pals Bill Cunningham and Ann "Boombox" Coulter use Obama's middle name, it's not for the purpose of making him look presidential, as Hannity ridiculously claimed. Fortunately, guest Dr. Marc Lamont Hill and Alan Colmes easily exposed the hypocrisy.
Clinton confidante and Colonel go after it, first about characterization of Clinton statement, then about tactics and manners.

Byron York and Kellyanne Conway fell all over themselves trying to explain why they attacked Gen. Wesley Clark over his comments about John McCain and not the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth over their comments about John Kerry.
