On yesterday’s post-debate episode of Hannity and Colmes—Live From The Spin Room!—Sean and Alan hosted Obama communications director Robert Gibbs. And, since the subject came up, you know, so many times during the evening’s debate, Hannity apparently decided that the Gibbs-as-guest situation justified him asking about—mmm-hmm—William Ayers.
“How can you fight terrorism,” Hannity asked Obama-by-way-of-Gibbs, “when you give speeches with, you sit on a board with, Axelrod says you’re friendly with, and you never speak out against, William Ayers?”
Gibbs responded, an impish gleam in his eye, by asking Hannity of Obama: “So you think he’s guilty by association, right?”
Yes, was Hannity’s basic response. So, fighting his host for air time, Gibbs went on to bring up Andy Martin—he of “crooked, slimy Jew” fame, who guested on Hannity’s America on Sunday with epithetical results—in a noble but ultimately doomed attempt to convince Hannity of the error of his guilt-by-association logic. Spin-tastic hilarity ensues:
Why Hannity has so much hate in his heart, common sense everyone see he is a Ratical, WHY????????

Hannity does have a point here. No matter how much lipstick Obama and his friends in Hyde Park try to put on that pig, Bill Ayers is a fucking terrorist and should be swinging from a rope instead of being a “distinguished” professor doling out board presidencies to Obama.
Calling someone a “crooked slimy Jew” (that could Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or the Reverend Wright … but we don’t have to go there today) is nothing in comparison to murdering policemen at the Ingleside police station and attempting to murder US Army soldiers and their dates at Fort Dix.
Are you really going to go down the road of making some bullshit comparison between someone calling someone a “crooked slimy Jew” and someone else MURDERING people?

Carl Stevens above trivializes anti-Semitism.
I don't agree that an ideology that led to the murder of 6 million innocents is so trivial.

I can see this one drew a lot of response! Personally, I was impressed by the fair-and-balanced Fox poll, the results of which you can see on the screen shot above. McCain won the debate 86 percent to 12 percent! Does it matter that the poll was of people who watched Fox and voted by text to the network? CNN, on the other hand, polled a group of people the scientific way, and explained that more were Democrats because more Democrats watch the debates. The result? Something like Obama 57 percent, McCain 32 percent.
