SEAN HANNIDY, SEMI MORON
I think those of us who occasionally watch Sean Hannity understand that he's not the brightest blub on the tree. But, he's not so stupid as to be prevented from being a fairly effective demagogue for the wingnuts. Too, watching him leads to the conclusion that this low IQ loudmouth has no sensitivity toward others, never sees the interconnectedness of things, has no social conscience, and is just an asshole. That he would attempt to make an issue of Obama's long-ago substance abuse, to discredit the President's heartfelt, personal remarks on race in America tells us just who Hannidy is.
Of course, Hannidy argues that Obama is like Travon Martin because 1) He smoked pot, 2) did cocaine, 3) and was a member of a gang. Hannidy also says that Travon was smoking pot the night of his death. But, as Time magazine's Maia Szalavitz writes the levels of THC in Martin's blood "are so low as to almost certainly not be connected to recent intoxication."
There is no evidence that either Travon or obama were gang members. And where is the evidence that Travon did "blow?" So, Hannidy fails on two out of three points he makes to link Obama to Travon, and third is a point discredited by a lie. Why are so many Americans brain-fucked? Look to Sean Hannidy and the other drool cup holders on Fox.

Sean Hannity Asks If Obama Is Like Trayvon Martin Because 'He Smoked Pot' And 'Did A Little Blow' (AUDIO)
SEAN HANNIDY, SEMI MORON
Sean Hannity reacted to President Obama comparing himself to Trayvon Martin in typical fashion on Friday.
"Now the president's saying Trayvon could've been me 35 years ago," Hannity said on his radio show. "This is a particularly helpful comment. Is that the president admitting that I guess because what, he was part of the Choom Gang and he smoked pot and he did a little blow — I'm not sure how to interpret because we know that Trayvon had been smoking pot that night."
Obama made an unexpected appearance at Friday's White House press briefing, where he spoke about the George Zimmerman verdict and how the country continues to struggle with racial bias.
"When Trayvon Martin was first shot, I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is, Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago," Obama said.
Some conservatives slammed Obama over the speech, accusing him of putting on a show for political gain and trying to worsen racial tensions.
"President Obama is now our Race-Baiter in Chief," Fox News contributor Todd Starnes wrote on Facebook. "His remarks today on the Trayvon Martin tragedy are beyond reprehensible."
There were other conservatives, as Daily Intelligencer pointed out, who reacted differently. Fox News' Chris Wallace, for example, said he didn't "see how you can read this as in any way stoking racial tensions."
