Dick Morris, some idiot I have no clue who the heck he is (nor do I care), was on Hannity and Colmes to suggest that if an attack on Iran were to happen, before the election would be best to help John McCain win.

Where do these nut cases come from?

This video is from the FOX Hannity & Colmes episode way back on April 08, 2008, when prmoting his book – Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me! – Jesse Ventura talks about how the events of 9/11 don’t add up.

“How can two planes bring down 3 buildings?” Ventura asks, referring to the fact that no plane hit WTC building 7 and yet it fell at free-fall speed in seconds later in the day on September 11, 2001.

Ron Paul talking with Hannity and Colmes after the GOP debate on Sunday night. Ron Paul won the Fox News debate poll with 34% of the vote, but of course Hannity tries to down play that fact once again.

Just as predicted by The New Yorker’s George Packer, FOX News is assisting the Bush administration with a post-Labor Day PR campaign against Iran. The first half of Hannity & Colmes was devoted to it last night (9/25/07), complete with a preview of a FOX News special “Iran: The Ticking Bomb” to air on both Saturday and Sunday. And despite the fact that the public favors diplomacy as a solution, the network that claims “We like America” offered only hawkish guests hawking regime change. The only debate was over how to do it. With video.

In Part 1, John “I want war against Iran” Bolton was the sole analyst regarding Ahmadinejad’s speech to the United Nations. “Democratic strategist” Kirsten Powers, subbing for Alan Colmes, once again was more eager to brandish her conservative talking points (Columbia should not have allowed Ahmadinejad to speak, he’s a very dangerous man, etc.) than to offer any real debate or balance. The video is currently posted on the Hannity & Colmes website.

After Bolton, there was a preview of the upcoming special in which Hannity narrated a film about “what a strike against Iran would look like.” Surprisingly, even FOX News admitted that a strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities would not be the cakewalk Iraq was supposed to be. So in the following discussion, the debate was about the narrow question of bringing about regime change. Author Michael LeDeen, whom I caught lying about his views on the Iraq war just a few weeks ago, advocated military strikes on “terrorist training camps” in Iran and Syria, along with action (presumably covert) to foment unrest. FOX News military analyst Chuck Nash, whose affiliation with the regime-change-pushing Iran Policy Committee was undisclosed, advocated “empowering the Iranian opposition and causing an internal revolution.” He didn’t rule out military action; he just thought “regime change” was a better option.

Powers, a former inmate of the News Hounds dog house, repeatedly distanced herself from liberals, repeatedly agreed with the conservatives and Republicans on the show, and her only “advocacy” on behalf of Democrats was to question the practicality of strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Coincidentally, that stance was the same one both guests put forth. Hannity was on the edge of his seat, hoping for military action – with other people doing the fighting, of course.

Nash told Powers, “The (International Atomic Energy Agency) has admitted that about a year and a half ago they found traces of enriched uranium that they could not tag to known facilities. So we’re pretty much convinced that Iranians have facilities we do not know about.”

Maybe so. But that doesn’t mean the facilities are producing nuclear weapons. That point eluded Powers who either didn’t know or didn’t care that Mohamed ElBaradei, IAEA head, said a week ago, “I do not believe at this stage that we are facing a clear and present danger that requires we go beyond diplomacy.”

Diplomacy was never offered as an option by anyone on the “we report, you decide” network’s prime time debate show.

Hannity claims “Paulites” flood voted to skew text poll, yet only one vote per phone number was allowed

Fox News and Sean Hannity tried to discredit Ron Paul last night after the latest debate by claiming the Texas Congressman’s runaway success in the subsequent text messaging poll was due to “Paulites” flood voting, when in fact only one vote per phone number was allowed.

Ernest Raposa, a viewer in New Bedford, MA, decided to text in his support for Ron Paul and received a message back stating, “FOX News UVOTE: Thank you for voting! Watch Hannity & Colmes for the results.”

“As the show progressed, it became obvious, as we have seen previously, that Ron Paul had the most support, hovering around 33 per cent,” writes Raposa. “Around 11:25pm EST Hannity declared that though Ron Paul had DOUBLE the support of the tied for second place Giuliani and Huckabee it was clear that the “Paulites” were simply dialing in over and over again, devaluing his lead.”

Aiming to test Hannity’s theory, Raposa attempted to text in a second vote for Ron Paul from the same cellphone. He received a message back saying, “You have already voted on tonight’s debate. Thank you for your participation.”

Only one vote per cellphone was allowed, therefore Hannity’s contention that Ron Paul supporters were “were simply dialing in over and over again” was nothing more than a brazen lie intended to dismiss the Congressman’s widespread popularity. No one at Fox News bothered to correct Hannity and no retraction was issued.

Here’s the nuts and bolts in a You Tube clip:

Debunkers continually claim that Paul’s success in text message and internet polls is merely a result of a small group of supporters zealously “spamming” or “flooding” the polls when in fact votes are limited to one per IP address and one per cellphone number.

Such dirty tactics from Neo-Con stooge Hannity and Fox News were merely a continuation of Fox’s policy to attack Ron Paul throughout the broadcast.

Despite the fact that the New Hampshire audience broke out in spontaneous wild applause at almost everything the Congressman said, Fox News deliberately boosted the microphones of the other candidates when Paul was speaking, making sure the snickers of Giuliani, Romney and the rest were clearly audible.

Establishment darlings were once again afforded shed loads more time and even nobodies like Huckabee and Brownback got twice the amount of questions compared to the Congressman. Paul got the chance to answer just three direct questions in a 90 minute debate.

Fox News moderators weighed in with glee in an attempt to ruffle, smear and sidetrack Ron Paul. His first question revolved around a purposeful misquote of the Congressman’s position on allowing pilots to be armed and it only went downhill from there.

“The second question though revealed the unbelievable bias of Fox News,” writes Anthony Wade. “In response to a question about Iraq and troops, Paul reiterated that we needed to pull the troops home, period. He has consistently said that we need to address the entire foreign policy and start protecting our own borders and our own country. In response to the false notion that there would be a “bloodbath” if we just pulled out, Paul quickly reminded everyone that the same people speculating that there would be a bloodbath are the same people who said Iraq would be a “cakewalk” and a “slam dunk.” He then correctly pointed out the faulty logic that says we need to stay for stability when it is widely reported that our presence on the Arabian Peninsula is what prompted the attacks of 911. The response from Chris Wallace was to pose his own follow up question which was, “So you are saying you would take your marching orders from al Qaeda?”

“Are you kidding me? The inherent bias in the question was disgusting during a debate forum and Chris Wallace revealed himself as nothing but a whore for the machine and not a credible newsperson. Thankfully, Dr. Paul was up to the task by responding that he would take his marching orders from the Constitution.”

The last question was another manufactured “hypothetical” in which Iran had nukes and was threatening to use them on Israel. Fox News were sure to go to Ron Paul first in order to have the other candidates gang up on him after.

As soon as the debate was over, Giuliani and Hannity were busy attempting to mock Congressman Paul with more sophomoric barbs.

The desperation of the Neo-Cons and the establishment to ridicule Ron Paul again highlights the sheer terror that they are experiencing in light of the fact that a real candidate communicating about real issues is putting the rest of the shills to shame.

By continuing to smear, lie about and dismiss the Congressman, Hannity, Fox and their ilk are nervously praying that they can keep the lid on the Ron Paul Revolution and prevent the Texan from breaking into the vaunted “top tier” and obliterating the bought and paid for competition.

On a side note…
