Hannity is a parrot who just says the same thing over and over. To me it seems he can't form an opinion until he consults with 3 or 4 other people. He used to be charming but its sorta worn off. I like Limbaugh because he at least has original thoughts. O'Reily has great guests but thinks his stuff don't stink. I personally LOVE John Gibson and was disappointed that Sirius/XM dropped Fox News Talk so I have to pick him up on the Fox Talk App
Anyways, Bashir took O'Rielly out of context. Bill asked why the ROMANS crucified Christ. Which is a different reason than why Christ was crucified or why the Jewish hierarchy wanted him crucified.

Listening to Limbaugh lately, he is too repetitive. He says the same thing over and over again in the same show. He can't be hurting for content, so the only reason I can figure is a continuously growing desire to push his agenda.

I enjoy Hannity because more than many of the others, he allows the idea to push itself. He merely backs it up with common sense.

I'll parrot this as my own opinion, except I don't really like O'Reilly at all.

I love Rush although I disagree with his foreign policy views.

They're all too smart for most liberals, because they allow rational though to override emotion, and they know how to effectively separate the two.

The reason that liberals generally seem to slowly gain the upper hand is because 60% of society makes decisons based more on emotion than anything else. Less than 40% primarily employ rational thought. (I do not say this to be mean, though that is often the response by liberals toward conservatives to such bases for decisions.)

Liberals only lose ground when they go too far. And thus the ebb and flow of politcs we've experienced for the past half century.

O'Reilly makes things up, often contradicting himself in the same argument, far too often for anyone who is knowledgeable about a topic to consider him smart.

hannity is a sensationalist's dream. he offers no ideas to the table, just rabble rouses and parrots those smarter than him. limbaugh and oreilly actually bring ideas to the table at times. all 3 are hardly palatable but if i had to listen to one it would be rush.

every pundit on every channel, do this these things. and as usual, contradictions by many are often not contradictions but merely contextual miscalculations.

Limbaugh is smart and always has an interesting angle on things. He does get repetative but all the radio guys are. That's kind of how they drive their ideas home. Hannity is just terrible though. I appreciate that he has guests on unlike Rush, but I almost can't listen because I'm constantly cringing. He is farily often outmatched by his guests and he'll retreat to stupid soundbite arguments that don't really have anything to do with what they're talking about.
