I can't believe how many fools are falling for what Hannity is saying. If this isn't a joke though, he sure profitted of his conservative book. He is just viocing typical liberal views, and there is no way he has gone through such extremes. What a great April Fools Prank.

You mean Hannity actually is behaving calmly and using logic to express his thoughts?

Obviously an April Fool's Joke.

I was listening to him on the way home and he said "Is it possible I may have been wrong on a few things" and I knew he was playing around. No way in hell would he admit that.

The guy next to me has been listening to it. At first, he was stunned at what Hannity was/is saying. I mentioned "April Fools" and he goes "ohhh yeah."

Hannity is going all out.

A prime example of this being this thread.

I think I saw that forum post joke here on AT at one point. Oh well. I always liked April fools threadsanway.

As per hannity, that is very unexpected from him. I'll be sure to try and catch that later if I possibly can.

There was a good one today on NPR that had me going for a time: The USPS was announcing portable zip codes. I'm thinking WTF but still buying it as a legit story when they cut to a USPS spokesman whom they reached on his cell phone in Sudan, where he was on a fact finding tour with Cher.:D

Ha, yeah. When I heard that zip code thing I was convinced it was real about halfway in..thinking it was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard.

Then at the end I was expecting them to say "April fool's everyone"..but didn't get it and was convinced it was real.

That radio show was hilarious! Thing is, Like a caller even mentioned, he sounded better as a liberal talk show host than most liberal talk show hosts. He had a caller on that was talking about taxes, and the caller said he pays enough taxes.

Hannity goes:

"That's because you're selfish and greedy."

The liberals really do just need someone who is "listenable" and be able to back it up with facts...Unfortunately most of them only can do one or the other. If you can't hold an audience, than what hope do you have? Or, if you don't have the facts to back up your claims, what hope do you have?

So . . . the last part about having to get a two thirds majority in both houses, then a unanimous vote in three seperate select committees, then going back for a four fifths majority in both houses didn't tip you off? :Q

How about the name of the program, GO POSTAL?

Perhaps, like me, you were listening in your car in heavy traffic. If that's not the case, just pretend it was. ;)
