Sean Hannity talks to his Tea Party audience and calls them Timothy McVeigh Wannabes...the audience cheers.

Unbelievable.
He compares his audience to a guy who murdered 168 people including children. And they cheer.
Surely this...
Edited to add: At least he's kind enough to preface it with his complete misunderstanding of the Democratic party. It amazes me how folks like him just can't grasp that the Democrats don't have the single unified base that the Republicans do. They are basically the party of everybody but Republicans, so obviously the party unity won't be there as it is for the new, insane, Republican Party.
The OKCupid folks made a nifty blog post the other day outlining the differences that they were able to detect just using their members' profiles.
Happy April Fools to you too.
Not a joke.
I am shocked by this, truly shocked.
Can any of you defend this?

Be pretty tough to claim April Fool's on 03/31....
This doesn't surprise me one damn bit though.
Moxnews?

Sarcasm not obvious to haters from the left.
Heh-looooo?? You've been had. Did you notice the "Mox News" bug at the bottom of the video? Re-watch. I was just about to start ripping on him when I saw that. Laura Ingraham did this whole 30 minute lib love fest today. Check your calendar...

moxnews.com is an actual site with articles linked in it with titles like "9/11 Attacks Were U.S. Intelligence Operation To Justify War In Iraq! Ahmadinejad"
I dunno. That's a pretty crappy joke. I guess it's that notorious right wing sense of humor shining through.
Nathan, we're hanging out at the same websites. Which, I suppose, will surprise no one.

Try again. Hannity is a notorious, moronic, sock-puppet on the RNC payroll, but he's not that stupid.
Voice-over edit by a prankster. I can't believe how easily you guys were taken in by this. It does illustrate though how easily partisan rifts are fomented.

No, it really happened. There are other videos on youtube without the bug. Supposedly, it was a joking reference to something he said on his show a day or two before.
Edited to add: It's unfortunate that Hannity forgot to conclude his sentence with [HAMBURGER]. :P
Real or not, it was an UGLY joke. Has Hannity or anyone else denied it or even shown any outrage?
Ah, I miss the days when a TV personality would be kicked off the air for even once saying the stuff Hannity belches every day.

It was not an April Fools joke. I posted a you tube link from Mox News, but there are other versions that capture his words.
He really said it. They cheered.
I don't care if he was making a reference to some other person's comments, or if he just thought he was being clever.
It was the most offensive thing I have ever heard a national news person say on the air. He should apologize.
I think the most offensive thing ever heard on the air was...."Ward don't you think you were a little hard on the Beaver last night".....

It was the "surely THIS . . ." that gave it away.
And no, for those of you keeping score . . . it's NOT dKos.
