A COUPLE OF SHAMMITY LIES

Hannity gets away with crap like this 5 days a week.

From Mediamatters:

Hannity defended Bennett's controversial race comment
On January 18, Hannity defended a controversial remark by Bennett, former Secretary of Education under President Reagan -- that "if you wanted to reduce crime ... you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down." Hannity echoed Bennett's own false claim that the remark was not his "theory" and that Bennett was "quot[ing] from a book." As Media Matters for America noted, Bennett purported to explain the comment by falsely claiming that he was simply reiterating a theory presented in the book Freakonomics (William Morrow, May 2005) by authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner. But, neither Levitt, nor the book, discuss "the racial implications of abortion and crime," as Bennett did.


Hannity attacked caller for linking Rove to Plame leak
On the October 25, 2005, broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, Hannity responded to a caller's assertion that White House senior adviser Karl Rove was "involved" in the leak of former CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity by labeling the caller a "nut case" and accusing him of "hatred, hatred, hatred for Bush and anyone associated with him." Rove did reportedly disclose Plame's identity to a reporter.
