Hannity Quotes Anti-Semite On Obama's "Radicalism"

Just in time for Yom Kippur comes a reminder of what a world-class ganef Sean "Shonde" Hannity is. On Sunday, Hannity ran a "special report" entitled "Barack Obama: History of Radicalism," in which he presented, as a credible resource, at least one gentleman with a radical history of his own. We speak of Andy Martin: peripatetic electoral also-ran, self-styled "consumer advocate" from a parallel universe in which evil consumer advocates thrive, and one of the few people to earn the label "vexatious litigant" from the Wikipedia. (Side note: "Vexatious Litigants Of The Wikipedia" is my new favorite punk rock band name.)

Martin is well-known for bragging about being a pioneer in the field of spitting out cuckoo-nutlog attacks on Barack Obama, but the far more interesting thing about Martin is that he's a dedicated anti-Semite. Ari from Oxdown Gazette has the details:

The same Andy Martin who,

"...ran as a Democrat for Connecticut's 3rd Congressional District seat under the name "Anthony R. Martin-Trigona," his campaign committee filed papers saying its purpose was to "exterminate Jew power in America and impeach U.S. District Court of Appeals judges in New York City."

And that wasn't his only anti-Semitic outburst:

In a New York bankruptcy case, he referred to a judge as a "crooked, slimy Jew." During the bankruptcy dispute, he filed a civil-rights lawsuit claiming Jewish bankruptcy judges and lawyers were conspiring to steal his property. He asked a court to bar "any Jew from having anything to do with plaintiff's property."

In another motion in the case, he wrote: "I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did, when Jew survivors are operating as a wolf pack to steal my property."

How exactly, does this sort of cracked-out wackface make it into a report on someone else's alleged radicalism? Well, we remind you, Hannity has something of a history of pallin' around with anti-Semites.

It's time to boycott the advertisers that support Hannity's hate, lies, and bigotry.
So far, the advertisers include:
Toyota
Iams pet food

[honeydiva]

you have to write the sponsors en mass...i'm game.

[SouthsideChica]

This isn't journalism and I don't know why it's being protrayed as such. People act like Hannity and all the other people on Fox are the Bible... it's scary. Some of these conservatives, believe this and won't even think for themselves if what's being said is true and use reputable resources to find out otherwise. Sad to say it's probably working, look at what their core, Christian conservatives are talking about:

Does anyone besides the neo con's listen to FOX? Hannity is an as&hole turned inside out. He is the biggest d& this side of Limbaugh.

Please, no one cares SEAN

[Ockham]

A majority of Americans listen to Hannity. Whether or not it's because they want a good laugh, well, I don't know.

[contemporarymom]

Thats right whatever side you fall on, or reason you turn to fox, a lot of Dems watch it. Not sure why?

[JesustheLiberal]

A majority??? Where did you pull that stat from?

I am willing to bet less than 30% of Americans listen to him or Rush, O'Reilly....You clowns and your "majority this and majority that" are just spewing useless pablum.

[edwcorey]

Hannity looks like Lou Costello.

[BertrandRussell]

Hey now, I see no reason to insult Lou Costello that way.

[pizzmoe]

Hey, Abbott! edwcorey said I looked like Hannity! Abbbbbbotttt!

Is Hannity's shiz eating grin annoying or is it just me?

[2dfuture]

Does Governor Palin know the meaning of the word Pal? I guess not. That Sen Obama Pals around with Terorist? How low can the mc cain camp go. Where is America heading to? I just wonder.

[2dfuture]

I am supprised to see how despirate mc cain is. Who is he to know what the Americans what to be discursed. The republicans have squandered the image of America around the world. Who is he to talk about judgement and honesty? this is the person that was cheating on his first wife and married to his second wife. This is someone who said bomb, bomb Iran. At this his age he has lived almost all the years of his life and really has nothing to loose if he plunges the world into a 3rd world war because of his quick temper, sturborness and unforgiven heart. Fox new is just trying to see how they will polish his image and discredit Obama. I have noticed that if any body from the Obama camp is speaking they rush the show and try to look for how they support mc cain for every mistake he has made.

Great job hannity. If you were smarter than a box of rocks, people might take you seriously. As it is, you are just another republican fundamentalist who likes to critize but who has never done anything of note.

[philosopherkingtomas]

hannity has NO ethics !
what a snake!

[MorningJoeMikaIsMarried]

I agree a defamation lawsuit of the highest amount needs to be file against the entire FOX Station. Who said Sean Hannity is incapable of being touch; who said they have the right to do what ever they want to and it is never punishable. A 700 billion lawsuit should be file against FOX NEWS and all those who participated in this dangerous slander.

[WORRIEDinFL]

I agree. It makes me sick that they put that on the air. F 'ng M o ther F 'ers

all ye need to know. pass it along to any undecideds in your neighborhood. scary.

[JayDDrew]

Thank you so much for this. This shows McCain as being the same man now that he's always been. There has been no change, just changes in his stories.
It is so incredible that his life is so incredibly similar to George W. Bush's: the consumate underachiever.
I would feel sorry for Republicans if they would admit how incredibly bad their last two choices for President have been. Unfortunately, I feel sorry for us all. Even eight years of Bush and look what terrible shape we're in. Four more years and you could turn the lights out on America.
I have saved this article and will pass it on. I hope everyone who comes across it will do the same.

[Middleclassvotingbloc]

May when this is all over, the DNC could file a defamation lawsuit against FOX

[ohio4obama]

We as individuals can with the FCC. I looked it up. They do have rules against defaming programs. But of course, many in the FCC are still in the pocket of Bush so, I doubt we, or the DNC, would be heard if we tried.

[Iluvdarin]

Could? They absolutely should.

[Middleclassvotingbloc]

Fox has to be stopped

[Geranium]

I've got it!! The Fairness Doctrine!!

[solomont]

It is not Hnnity it is the school that gave him the certificate qualifying him to get a job. This man should have been a homeless. I know a whole-lot homeless people who make more sense than this infantile who masquerade as Mr. know it all.

[ohio4obama]

Hannity's only real certificate is from his high school. He never went to college. He has some "honorary" degree from some college who was stupid enough to bestow it to him.

[rwb2008]

Interesting enough.Not long after Sean "The Pontificator" Hannity graduated from St.Pius High School on LI, that the school closed it's doors. Simply amazing how the married man Sean thinks he is the cornerstone of the moral right. Mr. Hannity, I wonder what the other Sara would have to say about that?
