Sean Hannity’s post-Bundy hero: Meet vigilante killer Byron Smith

[DonViejo]

Remember when the right was all about "law and order"? Nowadays, Fox News is lauding a murderous fiend

HEATHER DIGBY PARTON

Poor Sean Hannity. He’s every wingnut grandma’s favorite little boy but he just can’t catch a break. First he suffers the indignity of being beaten in the ratings by MSNBC feminazi Rachel Maddow and then Big Daddy Roger Ailes demotes him for conservative bombshell Megyn Kelly. And then he was threatened with the loss of every right-wing celebrity’s most valued possession (after his AR-15 of course), his radio show. It’s enough to make any red-blooded right-wing fellow feel a little bit insecure.

But Hannity has been going beyond the normal macho Fox News posturing to try to win his way back into the hearts and minds of conservatives. He’s become downright bloodthirsty on a level you rarely see outside the right-wing fever swamps (where they are still gleefully enjoying the details of this week’s “botched” executions in Oklahoma — with a bottle of nice Chianti).

First he became Cliven Bundy’s chief Fox New cheerleader, practically begging somebody out there to take a shot at somebody. It didn’t seem to matter who, just as long as blood was shed. He tried as hard as he could to work Cliven Bundy into a frenzy, even as old Cliven seemed fairly oblivious to the “threat” of an alleged federal raid being flogged by extremist Oath Keepers.

Unfortunately for Sean, Cliven Bundy proved himself to be an unrepentant bigot and stepped all over his own story, leaving Sean standing there with his shtick in his hand.
