HANNITY'S OLD FRIEND IS IN BIG TROUBLE

Sean Hannity used to welcome Hal Turner on his radio show until sometime in the year 2000. Turner recently posted on his blog that "Let me be the first to say this plainly: These Judges deserve to be killed," and is now in jail awaiting trial. What I found interesting is how the same Jefferson quote ends up being used by two nuts and one libertarian fringer:
Quoting Thomas Jefferson, Turner said, "The tree of liberty must be replenished from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots." He added his own words: "It is time to replenish the tree!"

Timothy McVeigh, who detonated the Oklahoma City bomb that killed 168 people in 1995, was wearing a T-shirt with Jefferson's words when he was arrested. Last week, a pistol-carrying protester outside an Obama town hall meeting in New Hampshire carried a sign that said, "It is time to water the tree of liberty."
