No Low Is Too Low For Hannity, Who Compares the Poor to Animals

Apparently there is a sign. National Park Service, the US Department of the Interior, and it says "Please do not feed the animals. And the reason: The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not take care of themselves.

Well, I -- - "You don't want to help people who are poor. And starving. See?" No, it's -- the dependency issue is a lot different. You teach people how to fish, how to be independent, you create an environment where jobs are plentiful, versus people being dependent on government."

And agree with him, and after getting acknowledgement, say "the rich are too dependent on tax cuts...rich people in other countries have high taxes and are doing fine...why do repigs treat the rich in this country like animals?"

calling in his or Limbaugh's shows and picking arguments with them over the bullshit they say. I'm guessing that they do vetting of all their callers beforehand?

The über rich practically get silver spoons handed to them on a daily basis which they use to rob us stupid while we fight for shitty retail and fast food with very little pay and no benefits.

Someone needs to ask Hannity....Is it time to have the Republican party put down?

10. Hannity is a fraud and lowlife

Hannity should be stripped of his wealth and forced to work in homeless soup kitchens until he can't stand it anymore.Then he should be sent from one homeless shelter after another for weeks on end without the prospects of gainful employment and no cash in his pocket until he learns humility.

This asshole doesn't deserve to wear the clothes of a human being.He should be made to wander the desert with the animals to which he compares his fellow humans...until the end of his sorry existence.

He is a scourge on the human condition.Him and O'Reilly and the rest of the "charity in place of direct help" hucksters can fuck off."Charity" of every kind is a sham.It unhooks the government "of the people" from the direct responsibility of basic human needs,which should be its main function...at the very least.

does sales pitches every 2-3 minutes on his radio show. And there are a lot of well known products he's doing pitches for, like the SodaStream.

HanNutty is scum, no doubt.

12. He's just channeling former SC Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Bauer#Tenure

In January 2010, Bauer came under fire for comparing public school children who receive free lunches to stray animals who should not be fed. "My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals," Bauer said during a town hall meeting. "You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't... think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better." Bauer made the comment as part of an argument that people should lose government benefits if they fail drug tests or don't attend parent-teacher conferences or Parent-Teacher Association meetings. The Associated Press reported that Bauer was a child of divorce who benefited from free lunches himself.
