When I got into my car this afternoon and turned on the radio Sean Hanity’s voice popped out of the dashboard. Speaking very quickly, the second sentence he spoke was a flat out contradiciton of the first. The third sentence was a clear falsehood. Geez.
The first sentence was about how the Rasmussen poll shows that Hillary is taking a nosedive and her campaign is failing. The second sentence was that “all those pundits” who are repeating the same Rasmussen poll showing that Benito’s campaign is all but dead should be ignored. They’re all wrong, said the Faux News star. So we should believe Rasmussen when his polls tell us that Hillary is sinking, but disbelieve everything he says when his polls say that Benito is sinking.
In the third sentence Hannity reported that in a last-ditch effort to become popular Benito has followed in Ron Paul’s footsteps and proposed, at this late date, a tax cut. Hannity clearly lied when he declared that it was the biggest tax cut proposal of any of the Republican candidates. He has interviewed Ron Paul, and he certainly knows that Ron has proposed ABOLISIHING the income tax altogether and replacing it with nothing.
All of these lies and contradictions took Hannity no more than ten seconds.
