Hannity relationship with white supremacist Hal Turner
Edited on Wed Mar-19-08 08:38 PM by GoldieAZ49
Watching Hannity interview a the lawyer for the New Black Panthers, the lawyer called out Hannity in his support of Hal Turner, of course he was shouted down but I did get the name and that Hannity had helped finance him.

Hannity denied knowing him.

but here it is in wikipedia:

snip

Harold "Hal" Turner is an American white nationalist, white supremacist, and former Internet radio talk show host from North Bergen, New Jersey. His weekly program, The Hal Turner Show, was webcast from his home until February 2008.
Turner, who called himself "Hal from North Bergen", spent much of 1990s working in political campaigns, and also became notable as a frequent caller to Bob Grant's WABC-AM talk show. Turner would go on to become a talk show host himself, but ended this career after claiming he couldn't work with his Jewish boss.

Turner has often made news for his views and stances on political issues. He promotes anti-Semitism (including rounding up and killing Jews); and opposes the existence of the state of Israel.<1> He also writes and promotes Holocaust denial materials

snip

Turner established a friendship with his replacement, Sean Hannity, on whose program he was a frequent presence.

*************

It does not mention any financial ties of course.

Now, does anyone think this will get any coverage, and if so where? Hannity clearly didn't want the name out their or any questions on it.

4. The Hal Turner Show is an absolutely horrible thing.
It's shockingly anti-semitic, racist, bigoted in every possible way.

11. Hannity must be taken down. This is disgustingly hypocritical and shows his closet racism.
And I mean real racism.
