I was wondering if any of you saw Hannity's America yesterday titled "Barrack Obama: History of radicalism"

To be frank, I have never been so disgusted in my life.

The gutter journalism on display plumbs the depths of depravity.

It is absolutely and categorically racist. There is no excuse.

The show entertained several conspiracy theorists linking Obama with everyone from Louis Farrakhan to Saudi Arabian extremists.

Is this the future of black America? Is this what happens to a black man when he tries to break through the glass ceiling?

I hope Nairaland Republicans will condemn these actions.

Below are parts 1-6 of the show in that order.

I saw it on YouTube. Hannity is just a racist xenophobic bigot. God help Obama win! I'll see what they'll do.

Hannity is an ass!

No need to waste time and energy on Hannity; the dude was molested as a little boy by his grandfather.

[center]Fox News' faux documentary sets new low[/center]

Sean Hannity's Sunday report, 'Obama and Friends: The History of Radicalism,' relied on innuendo and guilt by association to label the Illinois senator a dupe of the shadowy forces of the left.

Now and then, Fox News makes a stab at living up to its "fair and balanced" tag line.

At other times, the cable network's operatives throw off all pretense, let their neatly trimmed hair down and do what they seem to love best -- blame all of the world's evils on those pointy-headed, America-hating liberals. Like, say, Barack Obama!

Fox host Sean Hannity and his producers served up a heaping portion of just such red meat Sunday night on "Hannity's America." And they've since been making lame defenses of the faux documentary, which bore the subtle title: "Obama and Friends: The History of Radicalism."

Fox's hourlong screed is just the kind of media coverage that has contributed to the increasingly angry and irrational tone on the campaign trail. Even by the low standards of this election's advocacy journalism, the program plumbed new depths -- relying on innuendo and guilt by association to paint the Illinois senator as a dupe of the shadowy forces of the left.

Much of Hannity's report was based on interviews with half a dozen partisan commentators, whose main qualification seems to have been a previously expressed disdain for Obama.

James Rainey has been a Los Angeles Times reporter for more than 20 years, focusing largely on politics, government and the news business. His opinion columns focus on the media.

Near the top of the program, the host introduced one of them, Andy Martin, as an "author and journalist." But reporters in his Chicago hometown know Martin better as a perennial political candidate and serial litigant.

The Chicago Tribune has spent some time examining Martin's past. He was refused entry to the Illinois bar in the 1970s, in part because his Selective Service records showed his thoughts exhibited "a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character."

In a 1983 personal bankruptcy case, he referred to a judge as a "crooked, slimy Jew." And a federal judge noted his history of "vexatious, frivolous and scandalous" lawsuits.

When he ran for Illinois governor two years ago, Martin quoted a nearly 30-year-old Tribune editorial that called him "an absolutely brilliant campaigner" when he was running for a Senate seat. He didn't mention that the same editorial said he "has no more business in the US. Senate than an elk has in a phone booth."

The producer of the Hannity program declined to be interviewed, so it's impossible to determine whether Fox didn't know about Martin's history or just didn't care.

Perhaps the producers relied on the gadfly's own website, which assures us he is "a legendary Chicago muckraker, author, Internet columnist, radio talk-show host, broadcaster and media critic." And expert in all things Barack Obama.

So when Hannity wanted to know what Obama did as a young community organizer, Martin was ready with a pithy answer: "I think a community organizer, in Barack Obama's case, was somebody that was in training for a radical overthrow of the government."

Martin offered no evidence. None. But, when I called him, he helped me understand why this was not a problem.

"I do involve with the facts," he began, "but when the facts aren't all there, and the perpetrator has concealed all the facts and is basically refusing to testify, you are allowed to draw an adverse inference."

It sounds to me as if he's saying: When you can't prove something, you're allowed to make stuff up. And does that also mean you might as well assume the worst? I asked.

"The proof of the pudding," Martin responded, "is that they are on the verge of taking over the government."

So, if Obama is elected, that would constitute a "radical overthrow"?

Well, Martin conceded, "maybe I should have changed my words around to say there would be a change of the government that would put a radical in charge."

During the program, Martin floated other wild theories, including one based on Obama's association with 1960s radical William Ayres.

He noted that Ayres had spoken fondly of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who, in turn, "learned from Fidel Castro of the Cuban revolution."

Nah, according to Tayo-D and kobojunkie this isnt racism at all. Infact there is no racism in America.

Hannity is one of Kobojunkie's favourite presenters. God help her. This calls for serious fasting and prayer.

I have never seen prime-time hatred as I have seen in Hannity's shows.

By the way, many people in England have complained that Fox News licence should be revoked. They are calling Fox News a serious threat to democracy. Thank God partizan advocacy is not allowed by media organisations in the UK.

Fox news Fox Noise!

Bunch of hopeless unenlightened blood suckers!
