Hannity vs. Rall

Tonight on Hannity and Colmes, Ted Rall and Michael Reagan were on talking about two of Ted Rall’s latest comic strips: the first one is racist comic strip that was attacking Condoleezza Rice and the second strip attacking all conservatives that are minorities.

On the show, Rall was saying that everyone in his business has a few bad strips, and this was one of them. The only problem with this is when you have more than a just few bad strips and you promote some absurd idea, you will have to brace yourself for the people who are going to rip on you. Hannity brought up some of his earlier comics that assaulted widows that received money after their husbands were killed on 9-11. The most preposterous comic that Hannity talked about was one that called the honorable Pat Tillman stupid. Pat Tillman was a selfless man who turned down a contract with the NFL to join the Marines to fight for freedom and serve his country in Iraq. Sadly, his life was taken while in Afganistan; because of this, Ted Rall called him stupid. Because of what Pat Tillman did, I cannot stress enough the amount of respect I have for him.

Ted Rall refused to apologize to the widows of 9-11 and to the memory of Pat Tillman. When Hannity heard this, it looked like his blood started to boil. He began to tell Rall (and remember,they are sitting only feet apart) that he was the sickest person he had ever met. I don’t think that anyone could disagree with this; I don’t think that I have ever see anyone more genuinely mad than Sean Hannity was right that moment, and he was completely justified. It was great to see this man beaten to a pulp verbally. Ted Rall had no idea what to do and personally I am glad that he received this tongue lashing. Michael Reagan hardly had to do anything, because Sean basically covered it in his diologue.
