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.

All the FOX CONS are psyched about an obama presidency
they learned from Clinton
that is is MUCH BETTER
to attack a popular president
than defend an unpopular one

[WADIIAH]

That "special", was laughable. Hilarious. Fox is ridiculous. I think every "journalist" on that channel, are paid actors. They have to be. Who reports like that. It gives credible journalist a very bad name. Hannity is a joke. If it weren't for Faux, he will never be employed.

[darthdarcy]

Hannity is what we used to call, when I lived in New Jersey growing up, a "punk" pure and simple a real punk..!

[paleoimage]

I hope that, if elected, Sen. Obama and the Congress revisit the fairness doctrine and try to limit the use of "pundits" and PR spin doctors" on news programs.

[SheriChardonnay]

and I bet he will still quote and have this man on his....and MSM outlest like CNN, will not touch on it...Keith and Rachel will.

[myangeldog1]

Oh my G O D. What is going on? Is this a political election or a.... r e l i g o u s w a r? Where do people like H a nnity and Martin come from? Why does he ha te J e ws so much? HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE IN THIS DAY AND AGE?

[SailFree]

So, based on your premise, not evaluating the charges but merely denigrating the source, Obama should resign immediately because of Ayers and Wright.

[noamjunior]

Obama is guilty of....
serving on a public committee with Ayers?
by that logic
McCAIN IS A PERVERT BECAUSE HE SERVED IN THE GOP SENATE WITH LARRY CRAIG

[skippypicasso]

Wow, kind of a stretch there. Have any ideas about the economy? Education? Health care? Energy? I thought not.

[ex-pat]

I can not wait till Sean Hannity has to invoke these two words "President Obama" I hope he likes the way it rolls off of his tongue

[obxjohn]

As Stephanie Miller says, she can't wait for Bill O'Reilly to say, "Today President Obama met with Senator Al Franken"

[berryessence]

Hannity is trying to save his job.

Did you know that Hannity HAS NO DEGREE?

When President Obama takes office.....Hannity will have no job

Same for all of FOX NEWS. They're viewership will tumble at least 40% THUS, the neo-conservatives will lose a voice among the MSM.

Why do you think that Murdoch is trying to buy up the newspapers and some of the channels?

[nellie]

I hope you're right about that.

I just want media reform so that if a show or a network claims to be "news," there are some standards associated with that label.

[noamjunior]

I wouldn't count on it
Cons will need FOx after president Obama to reinforce their false worldview
All the FOX CONS are psyched about an obama presidency
they learned from Clinton
that is is MUCH BETTER
to attack a popular president
than defend an unpopular one

[Janus]

I just pointed up the same thing about this guy and Limbaugh both, and discussed some other things that a hypersensitive monitor didn't like. My post was blown away.

[billblow3]

thats so true

[hmmmmmer]

Not going to happen, there are more than enough nut cases out there to keep their pockets lined with money for decades.

[CostaMesaJoe]

Hannity and an anti-Semite?
Noooooooo!!!!
It's not like he admires the company of white supre.macists or anything.....

Not surprising that a hard-core reich-winger would also be an anti-Semite. Welcome to Hell, Hannity, where you belong.

[TuFu]

I think it is about time the Fox TV license becomes an issue.

[obxjohn]

Faux News doesn't have an FCC license, they're a cable network.

[myangeldog1]

I agree...there HAS to be some accountability and reponsibility for this form of H A T E on public t elevision.

[hip dibler]

the flopsweat is everywhere.

[patianneb]

Inanity....
No doubt McP are licking their jowls. What was that Jews for Jesus P@lin Church connection?

[SailFree]

The "connection" was that she gave a welcome to a group as Alaska governor. That's it. The rest is left-wing wild wacko fabricated totally untrue rumor-mongering. Got it?

[fuzzywuzzy6]

The connection is that Bruckner or Brickner, the leader of the Jews for Jesus, gave a speech at her church. Sarah was in attendance. Her paster Kalnins spoke in praise of Brickner. Brickner says the terrorist bombings in Israel are G-d's punishment for the Jews not accepting Jesus as their saviour. Palin never came out against this.

[Lpeter]

Don't you just want to smack that Hannity guy down and hard??

Obama is the best of all of us in one. He is both Black and white.

[SailFree]

That's the kind of blind hero-worship we do not need. Obama is a slick-talking politician whose ideas will, if actually implemented, bring back the days of 25% inflation and 15% interest rates and long gasoline lines and all the wonders of the Jimmy Carter years. His policies have already been tried in Michigan, California, Ohio, New Jersey, and elsewhere by far-left politicians and have destroyed those once-great and prosperous states.
