Self-promoting “great American” Sean Hannity has claimed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called health care town hall protesters “Nazis.”
Hannity said during his Aug 11 television program, “Now we’ve had hardworking Americans called Nazi and Brown Shirts and un-American by Nancy Pelosi.”
“It’s Nancy Pelosi attacking the American people, it’s the Democrats comparing them to Nazis – the Democrats are doing that,” he said.
Hannity has long been one of the conservative spin doctors, and now he’s trying to spin the hate from those who are yelling, and disrupting town halls across the country on to the victims.
“The only people that are yelling here and calling names – it’s Obama telling the American people to shut up, it’s Nancy Pelosi attacking the American people,” he said. “It’s the Democrats comparing them to Nazis – the democrats are doing that.”
Even when guest John McWhorter, a senior Fellow with the Manhattan Institute, told Hannity that he thought, “a lot of people who are yelling in these town hall meetings do have some problems with misinformation.”
Hannity couldn’t sit still and jumped in on the misinformation line questioning his guest’s use of words, “Wait a minute. What misinformation?” He asked. “You know what I see? I see fathers with their kids in wheelchairs. I see veterans that are speaking.”
Hannity’s argument is that these “passionate” Americans are upset because their country is going to hell in a hand basket, “Because they see their country’s going bankrupt. They see that every promise that has been made has been broken, and they’re being attacked and called Nazis by people that are supposed to be public servants.”
Sean? Sean? Anyone? Bueller? Sean? Bueller?
Actually Sean, what the House Speaker said, when asked if she thought there was legitimate “grassroots opposition” at recent town hall events; the Speaker responded, “I think they’re Astroturf; you be the judge,” she said. “They’re carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care.”
Sean? Sean? Anyone? Bueller? Sean? Bueller?
There are people showing up at the town hall meetings carrying signs with swastikas, and “SS” symbols. They are screaming at members of Congress and not allowing those men and women to speak to their constituents. Gee, I don’t know? Just like the Brown Shirts of the Nazi party did in Weimar Germany to quash opposition.
The Speaker of the House has not said anyone is un-American. Mr. Hannity has once again proven, all by himself, that he is a liar.
And then this symbol looks a lot like the Luftwaffe symbol of World War II.
