Sean Hannity just said he's a libertarian.

Hmm . . . so how many times has Sean had Ron Paul on for an interview lately? I'd count it up, but I don't have zero fingers. :D

EDIT: I think this has a lot to do with the fact that the Hannity forums have a few resident pestilent libertarians :p that go over there and annoy the hell out of the neocons. I doubt they'll fall for this though.

The first Libertarian to earn a living by spewing false and toxic propaganda for fascist bankers, corporatists, and foot soldier politicians in exchange for a paycheck from collusive non-free market cartels that want to enslave humanity and co-opt militaries for strategic resource plundering and social terrorizing. Quite a feat.

Uhh, every heard of the National Review? I'm sure if you look hard enough, or at all, you will find yourself some.

I'd like to hear the actual words he said, he could have easily said "On this issue I'm libertarian" or similar rhetoric I've heard many people use before.

Anyway, why be upset? Ever heard that old maxim: any publicity is good publicity?

Who knows, though, maybe Hannity has been disillusioned. Stossel used to be a dyed in the wool lefty.
 
There are many differences between Beck and Hannity calling themselves Libertarian.

When Beck has a guest on, he listens to their political viewpoints and adjusts if he feels they have made a good point(like Glenn Beck on economics; said gold standard two years ago he would have been a bit skeptical). When Hannity comes on, he just talks over opposition. He is obnoxious about it. While this doesn't necessarily mean it isn't libertarian, but we shall carry on.

Beck has voiced disgust with both parties in the past. While Hannity may do so in name, it is much how most people hate congress. They like their one legislator, but hate the whole. Similarly, Hannity will rail against corruption in both parties when he doesn't have a Republican around. When you stick an R next to their name, he worships their feet. GW Bush is most significant; he will always talk around GW Bush's non-conservative stances. However, Beck called out the faults of the administration. In addition, even after Palin-mania, when conservative media were supposed to return to the embrace of the R, Beck still voiced skepticism.

So, while Hannity may profess to be a libertarian or conservative or progressive or yellow-skinned hippo from Egypt, it means nothing in the end until he shows some principle ahead of party. Glenn Beck shows willingness and openness, and I respect that.
 
I think i meant it as in "On this issue im a libertarian, i want the goverment to stay out of matters like this".

Which is fairly consistent with mainstream public rhetoric, keep the goverment out of your family.

Newt used to be a Libertarian (tax cuts, nearly abolishing selective service etc).

The House Republicans ALL voted against the bailout.

it is possible Hannity has these same Goldwater roots and that the Republican party will return to its natural base. it surely can't survive as a Southern Religious party.

What do you mean by southern religious. Did you mean this as an insult to being southern & religious.
 
Do NOT let the neocons steal the word "libertarian" like the socialists stole the word "liberal" from us.
 
I'm trying to think of one libertarian thing about him.... He's pro-war, anti-privacy, pro-war on drugs, anti-gay marriage...

I think she is talking about an old lefty canard. The plains/rocky mountain states have always been much more consistently republican turf. The lefties like to tie republicans to the "evil, racist south". It's amazing how full this forum is with lefty talking points and most cannot figure out the difference between libertarianism and anarchism. It does not instill much faith in "this movement".
 
no need to watch. hot air. empty hot air. Let's hear him start talking about sound money, de-regulation, non-interventionism.

Just a month or so ago, he and his buddy Mike Huckabee were having a jolly time talking about how they were not to be fooled by those libertarians masking themselves as Republicans.

bah.

Can't wait to see what he says about the stimulus bill and those 'conservative' Republicans who end up voting for it, the unconstitutional piece of garbage that it is. ok, actually, I don't care what he says. ever.

Libertarians don't need a dyed in the wool card carrying neo-con claiming he's one of them. NO! Any publicity is not good publicity.
 
If you want to understand the neocon's moves at this juncture in history, recall the worst zombie movie you ever saw, but imagine the zombies not being interested in brains. After all, we are talking about the people who went gaga over Dubya. Brains have no interest to them. Instead, imagine them staggering about groaning, "Brand!... Brand!... Brand!!"

The evangelicals seem to have carried them as far as they can get on their backs. Now they want to usurp us and our message. And they'll do it, too, if we let them get away with it. But don't expect our message to survive their hard usage.

And 'hard usage' is the family-friendly term for what they'd like to do to our ideals--even as they publicly wrap themselves in them. Kind of like the way they wish the Constitution would just disappear as they wrap themselves in the flag.
 
I recall listening to Hannity when a guy called up talking about legalizing marijuana. Hannity railed into him asking him about his personal life...finally getting him to admit that marijuana kept him from going out and doing a lot of things (I wouldn't be surprised if he was a plant by Hannity).

All this does is gives you an idea of what the neo-con game plan is. Hannity is a window into the dark world of neo-con planning and this is their plan. To act like they are libertarians to divide us, running their neo-con candidates against neo-con candidates who call themselves libertarians (ie. Mark Sanford).

Hell, it worked during the election when they put up Bob frickin Barr.

Spot on. The tyrannical esoteric agenda from the socialists and media continues.

You have to REJECT THE LANGUAGE. When you start to use their language, you LOSE.

They are NOT PRO-gressives. They are RE-gressives. When you refuse to fight on the language front, you give them a MASSIVE advantage.

Everyone, try think about your word useage. :)
