But you know what the Hanitites are going to come and say:

"But...but Hannity wasn't "friends" with Turner! They had an unspecified relationship!"

In the year 2000, I sought the Republican nomination to the US House of Representatives from the 13th Congressional District of New Jersey. Since I was a candidate for federal office and since WABC served the area in which I was running for election, WABC was FORCED by federal law to accept my campaign radio ads

I believe what really happened (as Blumenthal writes) is that the Republican Party endorsed someone else for the seat. That's when Hannity stopped taking Turner's calls... when it became politically inexpedient to be linked to him.

No, he's right on that one. It's not the long-dead Fairness Doctrine but the equal time rule which applies here, and it's still in force. It requires radio and television stations and cable systems which originate their own programming to treat legally qualified political candidates equally when it comes to selling or giving away air time.
ProfessorDuh | 03.23.08 - 4:42 am | #

This confirms that Hannity is a pathological liar who cannot be trusted. I like to see how this Lloyd Harbor vermin squirm out of this one.

It seems Turner still has feelings for Hannity, despite being dumped by him. I wonder if Hannity feels the same way about Turner.

The Hannity and Colmes segment of Hannity lying to Shabazz about Turner will be played over and over again in all the media outlets in the US and overseas.

Everything about this media thorn will be exposed to the public, and I mean EVERYTHING.

NOTE TO HANNITY

Like I said: "You reap what you sow." You are not a "Geat American." You are a "Lying American." I feel sorry for your kids. You are an embarrassment to your family, friends, and co-workers.

hilllary/obamma supporter,

The story isn't one-sided. Hannity was confronted twice last week about his association with Turner, but he lied. So Turner responded about his relationship to Hannity. Thus, you have two sides of the story. It's up to Hannity to respond back about Turner's comments.

I challenge all conservatives on this blog to call Hannity's radio show and ask him to respond to Turner's statement. If he refuses, then I would re-evaluate your support of him.

It is well known that people don't always 'speak their minds', and it is suspected that people don't always 'know their minds'. Understanding such divergences is important to scientific psychology.

This web site presents a method that demonstrates the conscious-unconscious divergences much more convincingly than has been possible with previous methods. This new method is called the Implicit Association Test, or IAT for short.

https://implicit.harvard.edu/impl.../implicit/ demo/

Do you harbor subconscious bias against those of another race,religion?If you are honest with yourself,you have to admit you might.These tests are useful as a tool of self-discovery.

elion | 03.23.08 - 12:05 pm | #

In my opinion, based on my first hand experience, I believe Sean Hannity is, in fact, a Hal Turner sort of guy. It seems to me that a big difference between Sean and me is that I am willing to say publicly what I think about savage Black criminals, diseased, uneducated illegal aliens and the grotesque cultural destruction wrought by satanic jews while Sean and many others keep quiet to protect their paychecks.

Hal Turner.
--------------

Yep... Of course that's the case. About the only thing this jackass ever said I agree in full with - but only the "bolded" parts.

Wanna play the "guilt by association" game, asshole (Hannity)? You're climbing a very slippery slope.
|
And, yes, Hannity is leading the charge as a McCain surrogate to slime Obama as part of the disgusting GOP smear machine, which:

- Conducted a "poll" in South Carolina implying McCain fathered an illegitimate black child...

- Questioned whether McCain was a "Manchurian Candidate" because he was a POW for 6 years...

And that the levels these pieces of shit, the Republicans, will stoop with one of their own...
|

So, every time this loudmouth obnoxious piece of trash - Hannity, plays the "guilt by association game" on Fox Noise, the Democratic guest must bring up Hal Turner's post, and point out the fact Hannity's first reaction was to lie about it. Hell, quote Turner's post verbatim!

Is this how you really feel about African Americans, Sean? And Jews? What Hal Turner says? You're buddy Hal Turner seems to think so. Is that why you're beating this Reverend Wright non-issue to death? Are you toning down your rhetoric to protect your pay check?

Hey, Sean, Wright served his country, literally risking life and limb for the USA, in Vietnam for six years (I think it was six, don't quote me). Why didn't you ever serve your country?

Oh - don't tell me, let me guess, You're doing what all loudmouth chickenhawk conservative cretin AM radio hate-jocks allege to be doing by ... (LOL) "...fighting the culture war here at home."(tm) (What a bunch of sorry, pathetic, chicken-shit, phony patriot, disgusting "more patriotic than thou" asshole pretenders...)

You're the "great American" , and Reverend Wright, John Kerry, and John McCain (to an extent, according to these assholes) who - literally risked life and limb for their country somehow are "anti-American" because their life experience has made them critical of some aspects of what America is...

What a sorry, overpaid, piece of shit Sean Hannity is... Piece of fucking garbage...

He's "yours" - this blow-hard, piece of trash -`Sean Hannity, conservative cretins. And you're welcome fuckin' to him.

In once sense I agree with Hannity. He is not running for president, so his views about race shouldn't be the issue.

But he should take himself out of the debate about race in this country as he only serves to further the divide...and look who he's trying to argue with...Al Sharpton....another guy whose opinions about race are so biased as to only serve to widen the gap....Hannity has no interest in solving the problems that come from racial divide in this country, his only interest in the Rev. Wright "incident" is to smear Obama and get Clinton nominated as the democratic candidate because he's been preparing to smear her in this race for over 10 years.

Enter Barack Obama...a bi-racial man who explains to almost every faction in this over-hyped debate how he understands where bias may come from but that we need to move beyond it. He had a controversial pastor, but nothing about his actions would say anything other than that he fully understands racial divide in this country.

Who should we trust on this issue? A loud mouth who closely associates with radical racists, or a man who has lived the life of both a white and a black man in the United States?

shell | 03.23.08 - 1:57 pm | #

On your site you write:

"Earlier in the week, Sean Hannity denied, albeit in contradictory terms, ever having a relationship with neo Nazi/white supremacist Hal Turner. As I posted the night Hannity was confronted about Turner, the evidence conflicts with Hanniy’s claims. Now Turner has confirmed their friendship and their sympatico views in a blog post called, “About Sean Hannity and Me. . . . . Yes, we were friends and yes, Sean agreed with some of my views.”

Your source is the person you call a "neo-Nazi/white supremacist Hal Turner. Is this your journalistic standard to repeat the blog postings of people like this? Is your desire to smear Sean Hannity so great that you will take the word of such a person?

In the posting Newshounds quotes from their new friend and journalistic source Hal Turner when he writes the following:
"In 1993, My wife got pregnant and around a month later, Sean reported that he and his wife were expecting their first child. We got to talking about things expectant dads talk about and the relationship grew."

THERE IS A HUGE PROBLEM .... in 1993 Sean Hannity was NOT in NY, he was broadcasting in Atlanta until late 1996 when he was hired by Fox news.

There is ANOTHER HUGE PROBLEM ...Sean's wife was not pregnant, and did NOT get pregnant till 5 years later in 1998, his first child was born in Nov. 1998, So it would have been impossible for Hal Turner and Sean Hannity to be talking about the "things expectant dads talk about in 1993", and for the relationship to grow. Turner also claims that about this time Sean provided Turner with his private phone number at the Fox News Channel. This is also false, since the Fox News Channel did not exist until the fall of 1996, over 3 years later.

When Turner writes:
"My wife gave birth to our son in June 1994, Seans wife gave birth to their child about a month later".

You now know it is a TOTAL and COMPLETE lie, does Newshounds plan to fix the inaccurate statements of their new "STAR REPORTER"??

You further quote your "New Reporter"
"Over the course of the next three or four years, Sean and I spoke regularly off the air about our kids, politics and news of the day. My on-air calls to his show remained regular and welcome."

Clearly this would be impossible since Sean did not have children. As program Director for WABC I can confirm that Hal did call into shows many years ago, starting with The Bob Grant show. I can also tell you that it was Sean Hannity himself who stopped allowing his calls through, almost a decade ago, because Sean did NOT like the tone and message of the calls. He has done this on many occasions and I applaud him for it. Turner claims that I ordered Sean to distance himself from Turner sometime in 2000. This is simply not true. I never ordered Sean to distance himself from Turner, because Sean did so on his own many years earlier.

Clearly Sean's instincts to ban him were right over a decade ago based on your own reporting of what this person presently stands for. Sean should be applauded for standing on HIS PRINCIPLES. While the Sean Hannity Show prides itself on allowing all points of views to be heard, I have watched Sean ban extremists views many times. The question is where are your standards? Why would Newshounds source and repeat the writings of a person you yourself describe as "neo-Nazi/white supremacist"? Is your desire to hurt Sean Hannity so great that you are willing to sink this low?

I have a word document going back years where your site (and those who make comments) have regularly and routinely called Mr. Hannity every name in the book. Are you really proud of this? And by the way, Who is funding your site?

"Extry, extry...." | 03.23.08 - 2:25 pm | #

Oh, this Phil Boyce....

Boyce gets in my face and says to me, "You're not asking Sean Hannity that question." I said, "You're right I think I have another question for him." Boyce said, "Well what it is." I said, "I have an idea but I may change my mind by the time I get up front so I don't know yet." Boyce responds, "Well leave the store or I'll have you arrested." I responded, "I have a right to be here. The manager said I could be here. You don't work for the store so you have no authority to tell me to leave." I also said that if somebody who works for the store tells me to leave I will gladly do so and invited him to bring over the owner or manager of the store if that's what he wanted.

Boyce then proceeded to call the cops on his cell phone. (Not a wise move) Apparently he told the cops that I was "causing a disturbance" and "refused to leave private property." Boyce said that the cops are coming to arrest you and I said, "Ok if they do I'll sue you." Boyce responded, "I don't care, I have lawyers."

A few minutes later two police officers arrived, came up to me, and said, "Can I speak to you for a moment?" I said, "sure." They asked, "What's the problem?" I said, "I have no problem. I'm here at an event and nobody from the bookstore has ever asked me to leave." They then said to "come with us" and as I started walking the Hannity sycophants cheered, clapped, and a few shouted "arrest him." Hannity sat there smirking with Boyce at his side.

The cops went outside with me, asked for my license, and spoke with me. They even asked me if I had ever been arrested. I told them that I've been here over 2 hours, behaved all the time, mentioned the anecdote with the manager, and that Boyce and Hannity want me kicked out because they don't like my questions.

The cops got the owner of the store to come out. The owner confirmed that I caused no problems nor any disturbances despite Boyce's claims to the contrary and that he the owner had security personnel around the store at all times and that the security was instructed to notify him or the police if anybody was causing a problem and that none of them did. (This is a key little fact.) The owner and I agreed at that point that there's no need for me to come back in the store tonight and I suggested just say you don't want me back tonight and I have to oblige. The owner followed my lead and the cop just asked me if I was getting out of here and I said I'll be out of town in 3 minutes. The officer wished me a good night. The Hannity onlookers who came outside were pissed that I was NOT arrested. However I was falsely imprisoned for a few minutes and slandered because of Phil Boyce, who had actual or apparent authority on behalf of Sean Hannity and/or WABC Radio.

Republicans Have Wide Stances | 03.23.08 - 3:04 pm | #

I think Phil(l) is fudging the facts a little. Hannity joined WABC in 1996, just after the Olympics in Atlanta.

I found this.

Now by this time, Hannity was about to go back to his hometown. In addition to joining WABC in 1996, he also had been tapped by Faux News Channel President and former Republican propagandist Roger Ailes for another gig at the Faux News Channel. In fact, this is what brought him back to NYC. The radio show was another part of the deal. The Faux News Channel gig was to co-host a rip-off of CNN's Crossfire then titled Hannity and ___________, or Hannity and Liberal to be Determined. According to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, the right-wing news channel did not have a liberal in mind to spar with Hannity when they hired him until they managed to pull out of their ass one that also displays right-wing tendencies, Giuliani supporter Alan Colmes. As co-host of Hannity & Colmes, Hannity uses the program much like he uses his radio show, to promote conservative agendas and causes. The Faux News Channel is all too willing to accommodate him.

Mr. Boyce (assuming that's who you really are),

I have based my posts on the reporting of Max Blumenthal, in The Nation, not on Hal Turner. Whether you look through the file you say you have on my earlier posts or simply do a site search, you will see that I have never used Turner as a source until now.

http://www.thenation.com/doc/200...20/blumenthal/ 2

I'm no expert on Hannity's personal life but from what I know, I believe you are correct about the dates you cite as to the birth of his first child and when he came to NYC.

I can agree that there may be portions of Turner's account that are unreliable. He's obviously not the sort I'd consider a go-to guy for unvarnished truth. But getting some facts wrong does not mean that his entire post is untrue.

However, the point that I made in my post and the reason for my attention to Turner now is that he is another source that has come forward to say that Hannity offered him a sympathetic platform.

You say that Hannity banned Turner (which everyone seems to agree happened) but the issue is whether Turner was allowed to vent racist views repeatedly on Hannity's show while Hannity was a receptive, welcoming and friendly host.

So, the bottom line is, what was Turner allowed to say on the air, how often and what was Hannity's reaction?

We have an article in a national magazine plus one of the parties involved who say that Hannity was a welcoming, friendly and encouraging host for Turner's views for a good while. Neither you nor Hannity has specifically denied that.

By the way, nobody funds this site, though the server is hosted by Brave New Films.

Considering Phil Boyce was associated with Promise Keepers and tried to have me falsely arrested for no reason and then lied to the police (they didn't fall for it Phil) about my behavior, I don't think Phil is one to talk.

I still haven't forgotten. Believe it or not Phil I don't want millions from you for it nor do I believe the case to be worth that. (Wow a guy with a law license who isn't avaricious and is doing everything the opposite of what I would advise a client to do.)

Antoinette | 03.23.08 - 4:12 pm | #

Here's what I find interesting.

"Phil" and Hannity never discussed this issue. There have been callers who have tried asking Sean this question over the air only to be cut off by tape delay or Alyssa the nasty call screener.

We know alan colmes won't discuss this (unless given a directive otherwise) b/c it's "not the format of the show."

Now that Malik let the cat out of the bag, Hannity is cornered. Note that Hannity first DENIED knowing Turner.

More than Turner, Hannity has associated himself with other neo nazi bigots, most notably Ann Coulter.

It is not my position that "all republicans are nazis." IN fact, most are NOT. Hannity has chosen to be the front guy for these hateful factions. I don't believe Hannity speaks for most republicans. And according to my understanding of ratings, 97% of Americans don't listen to or watch Sean Hannity.

I make this point because I think it must be made. There is an attempt by these bigots to try to portray us as people who go around calling everybody nazis.

The fact is that Hannity and Turner represent some hybrid of fascism, neo nazism, nazism, etc... and that most actual republicans are not.

They speak for a small segment of the republican party. it is that segment that should be relegated to 4th party status.

When you have major Republican leaders appearing on a Hannity show it will cause the people to believe tht these leaders endorse Hannity Nazi veiw.

Kemp was on of those rare Republicans that didn't want to win because of Obama's ties to Pastor Wright. Kemp wanted to win on the issues. For that I respect Kemp.

This is an interesting turn of events...

Let's assume it really was the infamous Phil Boyce, and let's assume that he has the correct dates.

But even that's a stretch coming from the most off-the-wall, hate-filled program director in AM radio today (or FM, or any other band, for that matter).

Not only did Phil Boyce strip WABC of any and all moderate voices over the years (save for Ron Kuby who was there only as a foil for the clueless Curtis Sliwa), until he got canned leaving beret-brained Sliwa for an hour alone preceding the newly-hired Imus -- surely one of the worst programming decisions in American broadcasting), but has offered the station's mic to a lineup of the some of the most vile, racist, hate-mongering mouths ever!

Just two examples: Monica ("Look out Boston! The Muslims are coming! Pick up your muskets!") Crowley to the the despicable Mark Levin, who spends more time at the bottom of a cesspool with the pieces of drek than even our North Shore Neanderthal Seannity -- Levin who doesn't hesitate to say things like "F-you, Senator Leahy" on the air, getting away with it (and sparing Boyce a year in the slammer) only because the FCC is nothing but a bunch of spineless jellyfish deep in the pockets of Murdoch and other RW media.

So this is the Phil Boyce you want to turn to for facts on Turner, etc.?

I just read an interview Boyce did. He had Savage, Ingraham, Rush, Hannity and Matt Drudge. Boyce states he doesn't want right wing male wacko. Who does he think Savage, Rush and Hannity is? Boyce later flip flopped and said Savage is close to Bob Grant.

If this is any hint to Phil's mentality he actually believes there is a left wing media bias.

A for Turner does he have any credibility? Well when Sean was asked about his ties with Turner Sean at first said, "no". Turner said Sean will not go public what he really believe privately and I believe Turner is credible on this point based on Sean's first attempt to deny any connection with Turner.

If Phil Boyce really has this close relationship with Sean as he claims, then is it possible that Phil shares the same views that the private Sean has.

Turner said that are many who share his views but don't have the guts to come out public. Is Phil one of these people? Inquiry minds want to know.

Turner you know where he stands. But people like Phil and Sean who may be living double lifes are worms of the human race because if you can't stand up and be a man then you're worms.

Sean and Phil can brag about the money they made in life but at the price of being a worm. They couldn't stand in my shoes they don't have the balls. Typical Right Wingers always making sure someone else does the dirty work. Just blowing fart out your ass Phil and Sean. You stank up the country why stop now?

(Rolls eyes) Why, "George Soros", of course. Idiot.

Funny how "Great American" cretin, Hannity, started banning "extremists" 10 years ago - I'd say right about the time he started smelling the big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

Prior to that?

- "Great American" needed the ACLU's help to get his conservative cretin radio show back when his wacko guest, Gene Antonio, wrote the book, The AIDS Coverup: The Real and Alarming Facts about AIDS. During the interview, Antonio allegedly spread conservative misinformation that coughing and sneezing can pass the HIV virus...

Of course, this was just a volunteer gig, so to put bread on the table, Hannity was a construction contractor at the time. Here's a "Cavuto" fer ya, Seanie-poo. Did Sean Hannity hire illegal aliens to work for him when he was a contractor in California?

Hey - like your asshole colleague Cavuto does, I'm just askin'

Anyway... Hannity's peer calls in to complain. She was a lesbian who had a child through artificial insemination (like many heterosexual women do when they have fertility problems...)

...and the asshole conservative guest he has on says she had "...a turkey baster baby".

Instead of admonishing his guest, Hannity continues, "...I feel sorry for your children".

Fired!!!

Then the ACLU - who conservative imbeciles love to hand-wring and whine about, gets Hannity his volunteer job back. Of course, Hannity whines about the ACLU now since this is requisite and required if your a conservative idiot AM radio hate-jock asshole...

Next...

As Hal Turner points out... he's given Hannity's "hot line" number, and has a well-documented relationship with him.

Sorry, producer boy-o, I'm with Hal Turner on this issue.

Hannity distanced himself from Turner when such relationships threatened his fat paycheck.

If Hannity wants to lead the charge in this disgusting "guilt by association" thing against Obama, then what's good for the goose is good for the fuckin' gander.

If Hannity wants to paint Obama as a "radical black" based on associations...

Then I say Hannity is a racist, anti-Semite, White Supremacist, Neo Nazi asshole based on his relationship with Hal Turner.

Why doesn't he associate with Turner? Not because he doesn't agree with him. Hannity proved that when they "bonded" and he gave Turner the hot line number to his radio show...

What's Hannity's hot buttons?

- Rushing to the defense of Imus, who was fired for calling African American female athletes "nappy headed ho's"

- Endless bashing of McKinney for shoving a 2 oz plastic cell phone in the chest of a security guard

- And now? Endless "guilt by association" segments against Obama.

The only reason Hannity doesn't associate with Turner now is because he's got too much at stake in the way of multimillion dollar radio and TV contracts... Big media tends to "frown" on their high-paid talent associating with White Supremest Neo-Nazi assholes, doncya know.

I say, Hannity and Hal Turner are clearly kindred spirits. Hannity didn't distance himself from Turner due to ideological differences. I say Hannity and Turner agree in total - this is my belief, and Turner is "spot fuckin' on" when he says that the only reason Hannity distanced himself is that he (Hannity) started getting big fat mainstream media paychecks...

Period.

Turner is not the only bigot Hannity has associated himself with.

Hannity regularly took calls from Justin Volpe's father as a daily guest even though Volpe's son stuck a plunger up the ass of Abner Louima.

Hannity has supported the CCC, a racist group, along with other pro confederate groups.

He defended Imus calling Rutger women's players "nappy haired hos."

Of course there's coultergeist and many more.

Hannity is a neo nazi and should be exposed as such. And any republican that wants to campaign with him, shall be linked as well.
Dave from queens | 03.23.08 - 5:55 pm | #

There's also racist Duane Dog Chapman.

Then you have a couple of self haters like Roy Innis who supported apartheid in South AFrica and Jesse Lee Peterson, who said that it took blacks less than 3 days to turn the Superdome into a ghetto.
Dave from queens | 03.23.08 - 5:57 pm | #

McCain has regularly appeared with Hannity and it appears Hannity is his defacto smearer in the media.

So will the NY Times and Washington Post run a front page story about Hannity's associations and the numerous bigoted remarks?

Will NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN continually show videoclips of all the hateful things Hannity and his surrogates have said over the years?

This could take pages of inkprint and days of news cycles. Just one day would be nice. However I know that the media isn't liberal so I'm not counting on it.

I have a word document going back years where your site (and those who make comments) have regularly and routinely called Mr. Hannity every name in the book. Are you really proud of this? And by the way, Who is funding your site?

Awww...Mr. Boyce.

In the words of your dear leader:

Bring it on.

Asshole.

And Sean Hannity is a dickbag. I mean that. He's not singular. He's really a bag of dicks....

I read the blog, and somehow I did not get the same thing out of it that many posters are getting. Here is my synopsis of Turner's blog

I hate you Sean Hannity. Grant and I had a good thing going. But you took my platform away from me, and will not have anything to do with me. And it was your idea to ban me. Not the Republican Party. Not your bosses. It was you!!!! I am going to get you buddy. I am going to make up facts and write things that make it appear that our relationship was stronger that it was. I am going to do everything I can to embarrass you and hurt your reputation with the mainstream. Ban me Willya! Ignore me Willya. It's Payback time! I thirst for revenge!

I don't know why anyone would be surprised that an unsavory character like Hal Turner would write a blog like that.

Let me be clear, I have never called for Hannity to be removed from the airways and I probably never will. I just think he should be exposed for what he is.

And as for the names I have called him: Bullyboy, bigoted, Hanctimonious, disingenuous, hypocritical, pudgy-fingered, cowardly, lily-livered and yes, (thanks to Richard) having a Dick Tracy mouth.

If that's every name in the book, it must be the abridged version.

Phill Boyce
Program Director WABC New York

I find your contrived outrage as nothing more then a ploy to avert attention from how things really went down. Not only will you be shown as the liar you really are, but Hannity's condoning of numerous, jaw dropping, racist comments made on air by Mr. Turner under made while using his nickname will are going to be online for everyone to listen to very soon.

So, I suggest that you save your breath for the string of excuses you will be forced to spew once the records show that nothing reported here was a lie, in fact, more will become public knowledge regarding the Hannity/Turner friendship, which you comically claim didn't exist.

I also would love to know how you plan justifying the pictures of Hannity, Turner & Turners little boy taken in the Green Room at Fox News when they took Hannity up on his offer to come down to the set and visit.

But hey, they didn't know each other. Rightttttt.

And to the rest of you right win blow hards talking about free speech, and how we claim to love it yet write letters, blah blah blah.

You are right we do love the freedom speech, however you miss one major point, that is hypocrisy and freedom of speech do not go hand in hand. And for Hannnity to lead a self described "quest" against and his church basing it on his accusations of racism is a pure, unarguable instance of hypocrisy. But seeing though you are obviously fans of Hannity, the Bigot I wouldn't expect you to comprehend the difference.

Cheers,
Matt

As for the every name in the book comment by Boyce, isn't that always the way with the far rigtht? Their skin is so thin that a look in their direction is percieved as a threat. Maybe that's because they are so adversarial themselves, they are big with projection.

I agree with you Ellen, in principle, because you know how the wingnuts are always crying about "freedom of speech."

But, I say we should expose Hannity for what he is - and let the chips fall where they may. After all, aren't the wingers always crying, "let the market decide?"

Well, let's see how a firestorm of protest affects Faux sNooze's advertisers - and see if the network buckles under to demands to either remove Hannity or see ad money pulled.

Then, we can just sit back and say: Congratulations wingnuts - you just got a lesson in the free market.

We have not opened ourselves up to any libel suit. First of all, I have not reported anything that has not been sourced and cited. Secondly, Hannity is a public figure which means it's pretty darned hard to libel him. He'd have to prove actual malice, meaning that I knew what I was saying was false and did it anyway.

By the way, that's something he does all the time, as I have documented. He distorts info, such as "Democrats are undermining our troops" even though a slew of military officers have told him otherwise.

But, unfortunately, our country can not sue him for libel, as far as I know.

Well, Lionel and Bey wound up on WWRL (the atrociously mismanaged NYC outlet for Air America) and are doing nicely with their more "moderate" liberal agendas.

Don't know what happened to Lyn Samuels -- actually, she's apparently on Sirius and also has a blog which comes up first when you Google her. But I don't miss her much. That over-whinny voice (my ears can just barely put up with Randi) and her previous incubation on WBAI into far-left radio (yes, there is a polar opposite to the RW) turned me off.

Yeah Dave, we all remember those days well, when racist Sean ("I never met an unarmed black person who didn't deserve to get shot by cops!") Hannity declared every day, that Volpe was innocent and that Louima was guilty of all sorts of things.

Hateful Hannity kept this up right to the very second that Volpe copped a plea, then our boy dropped him like a brick, like he's done numerous other times with his heroes and others who have somehow "failed" Hannity's tests.

Sort of like those disclaimers from the late '30s and early '40s -- "he vas a vorthless, miserable soldier, he deserved to die!"

Yakki

I don't doubt that Turner is willing to kill. But how many opponents has he killed so far? He might be willing to threaten to kill fairly often; but actually killing someone is probably reserved for the most extreme circumstances.

Then too, you have to factor in that many of his threats are lies. I doubt that anyone who comes after his "pal" Hannity is in any mortal danger from Hal. In fact, I think he wants people to be extremely critical of Hannity and to disseminate his blog. Hal is using this site and others as his pawns. Why kill a pawn . . . especially when the pawn is so useful?

as you said yourself, he will achieve his goals by any means necessary.

"Phil" and "David Drake" are quite concerned that there is a lot more information to come out about Mr. Hannity and Mr. Turner which is why they engage in threats.

The real Phil Boyce reacted this way once before and saw it all backfire when yours truly remained calm and cool as a cucumber and exposed what he tried to do.

Here are some more things that might come out.

Turner has acknowledge have homosexual affairs. Hannity told Turner that he knows how this feels. Given that these men knew each other and communicated for yrs (you can do that from Atlanta or NY) I suspect the relationship goes much deeper.

And why is Hannity nicknamed "Handy Hannity" as I have read accounts of Hannity's trysts with men?

And did Turner and Hannity have some kind of physical relationship? There is circumstantial evidence to suggest such.

Oh and what did Hannity mean when he said on air last thursday that "There are things I've done as a Christian that I will never be forgiven for."

I suspect Hal Turner knows the answer to that one.

another question for "phil" who is trying to coverup for Hannity here. (Remember, Imus was fired for less)

We agree that Hal Turner made all these phone calls to WABC and the Sean Hannity show.

Why then

a) hasn't Hannity denounced them EVER?
b) did Hannity first deny knowing who Turner was?
c) Did Hannity endorse Turner in 2000, supposedly 2 yrs after the ban occurred?

Hannity's one trick pony is to find statements or associatiions of people and then use that to play 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon. Well if this one trick is exposed and applies to Hannity, his career is over.

By the way Phil I did once steal a pack of bubble gum from a stationary store when I was 6 years old. (My mom caught me and punished me and made me give it back.) So you can point this out when you try to smear me to distract from Hannity.

3. For years, Hannity has used tape delay when callers have snuck through asking him about his relationship with Hal Turner to delete it from the air.

4. Malik broke down that barrier.

5. Hannity denied knowing Turner. We all know that was a lie.

Ellen says:

"We have not opened ourselves up to any libel suit. First of all, I have not reported anything that has not been sourced and cited."

Your source is a guy that you have labeled a neo-Nazi White Supremist. That is not a source, that is a kook with a blog. I did not threatened anybody with a libel suit.

Ellen continues: "Secondly, Hannity is a public figure which means it's pretty darned hard to libel him. He'd have to prove actual malice, meaning that I knew what I was saying was false and did it anyway."

But you DO know that what Turner said was false. I cleared that up. I told you when I hired Hannity. It was not until early 1997. Turner claims he began his friendship with Sean in 1993, when both were expectant fathers. Sean's first child was not born until 1998. These are facts, easy to check out. Yet you ignore them and quote the blog of some guy because you want to discredit Sean. That is pretty close to knowing you are wrong, and doing it anyway.

And somebody took a quote of mine out of context. I did say this: “WABC was seen as negative, kind of right-wing wacko, maybe even slightly racist. I don’t know that it was racist, but there were certainly things said on the station that were difficult for the company to defend.”

I was clearly referring to the WABC I found before I was hired in 1995. This was before Sean Hannity was hired in 1997. We did make an effort to make WABC a better radio station, and Sean Hannity was a big part of that.

You people crack me up. You should be commending Sean for banning Turner from his show some 10 years ago. Instead you are believing the rantings of this guy that even YOU can't stand, just to try and make Sean look bad. You believe this guy Turner, but choose to not believe the guy who actually did the right thing and banned him. On the credibility scale, compared to Turner, Sean is off the chart.

Just because Turner is wrong about the 1994 date with the kids does NOT mean that any or all of the rest of what is posted is untrue.

Dissect these one at a time. (let's give you some "legal" practice smartass)

1. How many times did Hal Turner speak on the Sean Hannity radio show?

2. Did Hannity ever denounce Turner for his views?

3. Did Hannity deny knowing Turner on the air with Malik Shabazz?

4. Did Hannity invite Turner and his son to the Fox News studio in 1997?

5. Did Hannity ever endorse Turner for Senate in 2000?

For years, Hannity has tried desperately to NEVER allow this association to be revealed to the public. Now that it has, you are scared shit and you know there's a lot more coming.

Oh Phil, I see in 13 minutes that bill Cunningham will be on WABC Radio. Now there's a racist for you.

And tomorrow morning it will be Don Imus, another racist for you.

My comment:

Oklahoma City was a false flag operation. There were several bombs removed from the building after the initial blasts (plural). It was reported in local Oklahoma City television but not broadcast nationally. It may be hard to believe, but it is quite true. If you are interested in the case go to 911Busters.com and listen to the 2005 OKC Investigating Committee speeches given by survivors and investigators.

I don't mean to interrupt the flow of this comment string, but I'd like to add the fact that Hal Turner is a likely FBI informant who was paid U.S. tax dollars to rat out neo-nazi extremists to the Feds.

One could imagine an ironic end to Mr. Turner's popularity...

Phil,
I was responding to someone else in my comments about libel.

As I wrote in my previous post to you, I believe you are correct that Turner got the dates wrong and that he wrote "FOX News" when he meant "WABC." I also mentioned your response in an update to my post and directed readers to it so that they could get your take.

But as I also wrote, the fact that Turner got some information wrong does not mean that it is all wrong. Furthermore, the essential questions remain unanswered: What was Turner allowed to say on the air, how many times did he say it before he was banned and what was Hannity's reaction? Did he ban Turner the first time said something racist? According to an article in a national magazine, Turner's calls were welcomed until the Republican Party endorsed someone else for whatever position he was seeking.

We have an article in a national magazine plus one of the parties involved who say that Hannity was a welcoming, friendly and encouraging host for Turner's views for a good while. So far, neither you nor Hannity have specifically denied that.

Very nice site that documents most of this outrageous asshole, Sean Hannity's, shenanigans and bullshit:

http://www.onepeoplesproject.com...id=90& Itemid=27

Hannity's Hatemongering at WGST
...from there, he was hired by WGST in Atlanta to fill the slot vacated by Neal Boortz, who had moved on to competing station WSB. At WGST his hatemongering was on full display, whether it was calling for people to wear blue ribbons at one year's Oscar ceremonies in support of the officers who beat Rodney King, or inviting guests on his program to bash gays (even his official bio on WGST's website at the time said he was "Making a proud name for himself by insulting lesbians"). This generated a lot of anger against him in the city. In 1996, the year that Atlanta had the Olympics, and just before Hannity split for New York, The Rev. Jesse Williams and members of a group called Dignity held protests outside Olympic headquarters at the Inforum for several months after Olympic officials named WGST as the "official information source" for the Games. Williams questioned the association with the radio station because of how Sean Hannity and another host Kim Peterson have been spreading hate over the airwaves.

Hannity Sticks Foot in Mouth
This was the year the Olympic Village was bombed by Eric Rudolph. At the time it was being reported that Richard Jewell, a security guard there who was being touted for his heroism during the bombing, was being touted as a hero. In 2003, Hannity interviewed Jewell on his television program about being falsely accused, ending it by saying, "turns out he was a hero, and the media got it wrong." Well, Hannity was a part of that media that got it wrong! He said point blank on his radio show at the time, "there is a lot of speculation that a 33-year-old man who is unmarried, who lives with his mother, has got to be a weirdo, has got to be a potential terrorist."

Flagrant Lie about Howard Dean with Doctored Tape
Hannity is nothing more than a shallow propagandist, but one whose hatemongering is tolerated more than his predecessor on WABC because it is in the guise of Republicans vs. Democrats. Very seldom does he offer a responsible opinion. Instead he angrily yells his spin on a particular issue, which can often be refuted by anyone who can crack open a book and get the facts for themselves. One particular spin that comes to mind is his routine on how Howard Dean "advanced the theory" that President Bosh knew about 9-11 before it happened. First off, for advancing a theory to be a problem for Hannity says a lot about him, who has advanced more than his share of theories himself - the bulk of them bogus. There is a reason why he notes what Howard Dean did this way. This stems from a NPR radio program called the Diane Rehm Show that Dean appeared on back on December 1, 2003. Rehm asked Dean why he thought Bush wasn't more forthcoming with the commission investigating the terrorist attacks. "The most interesting theory that I've heard so far -- which is nothing more than a theory, it can't be proved -- is that he was warned ahead of time by the Saudis," Dean replied. When asked if he believed the theory was true, "No, I don't believe that. I can't imagine the president of the United States doing that." Of course this didn't matter to Hannity who almost immediately started to accuse Dean of saying that the President knew about 9-11 beforehand. Media Matters for America even noted ten instances where he said this outright from December, 2003 to May 2004. He has even played the audio from the Rehm program on numerous occasions, but it is a doctored version that leaves out the part where Dean dismisses the notion. On July 27, 2004, during the Democratic Convention, Hannity was on Al Franken's Air America radio program, where he called Hannity out on this distortion. After playing the audio from the May 11, broadcast of Hannity and Colmes where Hannity repeated the accusation Hannity conceded the point, but not without noting that "99 percent of the time," he qualifies the assertion by saying Dean "advanced the theory." Hannity still likes to use this to attack Dean and other Democrats, regardless of how full of shit he is on this.

Campaign Against Abner Louima
His normal routines have included playing dumb or tell half-truths about certain subjects. When Abner Louima was attacked by four New York Police Officers in a Precinct bathroom, he campaigned against Louima and for the cops. During the trial, he even had the father of Justin Volpe on each day to talk about how his son is holding up and how he feels about him being railroaded. When Volpe pled guilty, Hannity immediately began to campaign on the premise that Charles Schwartz, another officer involved was being railroaded.

Outrageous Lie Regarding Protest Outside Fallen Iraq soldier, Sgt. Jeremy Doyle's Funeral

More recently came however, a glaring example of this when he accused anti-war leftists for protesting the funeral of Sgt. Jeremy Doyle, a soldier killed in Iraq. The following is a transcript from his August 30, 2005 radio program:

HANNITY: Let me read to you from Indianapolis. Headline: "Funeral for fallen Hoosier soldier brought some unwanted guests." Let me read this. Now, put this in the context of the story we did for you last week about Code Pink and about how Code Pink was protesting in front of Walter Reed Medical Center. Remember, they had their "Maimed for Lies" signs and "Enlist Here and Die for Halliburton" signs? And this is where these soldiers come back to try and get their lives together after receiving these awful, often life-threatening wounds. And yet, these people with political agendas are outside Walter Reed Medical Center protesting. And my point to them was, "Hey, look, if you want to protest, let's leave the injured soldiers alone, they need time to recuperate. Take it to the White House. Take it to some other area."

So anyway, the story in Indianapolis goes like this, quote: "Emotions ran high for an Army soldier's funeral in Martinsville on Sunday. Sgt. Jeremy Doyle's sacrifice brought many out to honor him, but also sparked a standoff on a city street. People arriving to say goodbye to a hometown hero met an altogether different scene in Martinsville, as demonstrators dragging American flags on the ground and holding signs opposing U.S. troops. 'The thing that got us here is that Sergeant Doyle died for us to give us our freedom, and then you have people like this come. It's absurd,' one funeral attendee told News 8 in Indianapolis. Tensions grew before demonstrations [sic: demonstrators] finally left their location right across the street from Army Sgt. Jeremy Doyle's funeral service. According to the group's website, it sees America's -- Americans' deaths in Iraq as a kind of punishment for social misdeeds. Martinsville residents said that the protesters picked the wrong time in the wrong town to express their views. Which rightfully -- so they have their freedom of expression. Nobody's going to take that away from them, but there is a time and a place for this kind of thing, and it's certainly not here today."

Now, who's Jeremy Doyle? Well, he died along with three other soldiers on August the 18th, when their Humvee hit a landmine on an Iraqi highway. This guy died for all of us. His final journey was a procession down Main Street, past the courthouse square. "'If I had to lose a son, if I had to lose one, I'd -- I'd rather it be serving our country,' his father explained. The protesters were headquartered in Kansas. They traveled across the country to demonstrate against a soldier." And you know something? I guess this is just another example of how the anti-war left supports our brave troops. 'Cause isn't that what they always say? They're disrupting the funeral, tormenting a grieving family. Can you believe I even have to bring this story to the airwaves? And creating an incredible spectacle in the middle of an occasion to honor a guy who died serving his country? But of course, they're supporting our troops. They're not supporting them; they're targeting our troops!

What's the difference between this or protesting outside the entrance to Walter Reed, where our wounded soldiers go to recover? I mean, these sol -- just can't believe that our soldiers and our -- and their families have to endure this pathetic atta -- these pathetic attacks, these chants, these posters as they enter and leave a hospital.

Hannity got this account from the WISH-TV website in Indianapolis and we provide the link to that account here so you can see exactly what it said. Hannity deliberately omitted one important passage - the part where it says the website of the group that picketed was that of Fred Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church of godhatesfags.com infamy. The anti-gay protestors believe that military deaths are deserved because the government allows gays to serve in the military. They are known for picketing funerals, often those of homosexuals or those who support the gay community. Among those they picketed was the funeral of Matthew Shepard, a gay man beaten to death in Laramie, Wyoming, in 1998. Hannity chose not only to omit this (he did at least say they were from Kansas), but also to blame the "anti-war left" for the protest.

theroachman | 03.23.08 - 10:29 pm | #

It appears someone is trying to scrub references to Hannity under Hal Turner.

Now it's just the Bob Grant show, not the Hannity show.

The fact is that Hannity provided Turner with years of free air time to rant his racist views and NOT ONCE did Hannity disagree.

Hannity also had Turner bring his son to his Fox News Studio to watch the Hannity show.

These two men apparently had a personal relationship that went sour.

theroachman | 03.23.08 - 10:29 pm | #

just the good parts:

--------------------------------

Turner established a friendship with his replacement, Sean Hannity, on whose program he was a frequent presence. Turner then became a talk radio host himself, joining fellow regular callers Frank from Queens and John from Staten Island to start the program The Right Perspective.[6] Turner left the program in 2002, citing artistic differences. In 2002, Turner became a solo host, purchasing a time slot on shortwave radio station WBCQ, over which he broadcast for approximately four years. He gave up this show after seeing Mel Gibson's film Passion of the Christ, stated that he was opposed to the owner of the station's Jewish religion.[7]

...continued:

Hannity's Pathetic Circus Outside Schiavo's Hospital
That brings us to something else about Hannity that is even more pathetic: The constant pandering to those far right scumbags that could care less about human or civil rights. In 2005, we saw him bring anti-abortion demagogue Randall Terry out of the mothballs during the Terri Schiavo case to defend the right-wing stunts surrounding that sad case.
(My note: And who can forget his infamous trotting out of "notes Nobel Prize Nominated" quack, Dr. Hammesfahr?)

Props Up Vigilante Group, the Minutmen
Then we saw weeks later him promoting the anti-immigration vigilante group the Minuteman Project, which he tried to protect from charges that they were a racist organization, even while evidence to the contrary kept surfacing, such as co-founder Jim Gilchrist joining a hate group that he had been working with even prior to the Minueklan Project. Interestingly enough, both Gilchrist and co-founder Chris Simcox appeared on Hannity and Colmes regularly during April of 2005, but by August, when Hannity did a series of shows about the Minuteklan Project in Texas (where one leader resigned because of one local chapter's racism), Simcox was there, but Gilchrist was not.

Hal from North Bergen
But Hannity has an even larger albatross than that. In 1998, "Hal from North Bergen" became one of his regular callers. The two sparked up a friendship on and off the air, and in two years, Hal would run for congress with Hannity saying he will promote his candidacy on the air. Hal and his son were even invited to the set of Hannity and Colmes to watch a taping. "Hal from North Bergen" was actually white supremacist Hal Turner who on his website and internet radio show is known primarily for calling for the killing of people he disagreed with. He gained some notoriety when family members of Federal Judge Joan Lefkow was found murdered, and he published on his website a picture of the judge with the word "GOTCHA" over her head. Lefkow presided over the trademark infringement case involving an associate of Turner's, World Church of the Creator leader Matt Hale. Hale would eventually lose that case and the name of his organization, but will also end up in prison for the next 40 years after being convicted of conspiring to kill Judge Lefkow. It was believed that white supremacists were responsible for the attack on her family, but that was found not to be the case a few weeks after Turner published the photo - and ended up on a number of television programs because of it.

Turner was the one who revealed the friendship with Hannity. He has said numerous times on his website, his internet radio show, and even to us directly that he and Hannity were tight, but in 2000, as Hannity's star began to shine - which happened before Turner, who was a pretty well-known hatemonger at the time, but not a member of any organized group yet - he cut his ties with him and stopped taking his calls. This is something that has been talked about for years, but Hannity, who is known for calling out people who criticize him, has never talked about this issue, even though it was the topic of an article in the web edition of the Nation Magazine.

Conclusion
Hannity continues to play the role of right-wing apologist and hatemonger, but with so many websites geared towards showing how stupid he is, he really doesn't have any real credibility except among his conservative base. Unfortunately too often there are people who are hurt by his propaganda routines, which is why more and more people are taking more shots at him.

Sounds like a case for Larry Flynt. Hannity said last week that he has done things as a Christian that he can never be forgiven for. To me, only 3-4 things come to mind.

1. Murder
2. Homosexuality (from his views, not mine)
3. Rape
4. Child Abuse.

Sean should tell what they are. I suspect they have a lot to do with Hal Turner.

Hannity's Soul-Mate of Hate

Max Blumenthal

This year a man named Hal Turner sat before his computer at his suburban home in North Bergen, New Jersey, posting bomb-making tips on his website, hailing the firebombing of an apartment containing "Savage Negroes" and calling for the murder of immigrants. "When enough illegal aliens get killed they will stop coming to the country!" Turner wrote.

Turner was once a prominent activist in New Jersey's Republican Party. To area conservatives, he was best known by his moniker for call-ins to the Sean Hannity Show, "Hal from North Bergen."...

...Today, as one of America's most recognizable broadcast personalities, Hannity vehemently denounces racism as he sees it. During the 2000 presidential campaign, Hannity demanded time and again that Al Gore fire his black campaign manager, Donna Brazile, for her comment that "we're not gonna let the white boys win." Two years later, during California's gubernatorial recall election, Hannity repeatedly attacked Democratic candidate and Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante as a racist for refusing to renounce his association thirty years prior with the Chicano student group MECHA. Yet Hannity is silent about the racist affiliations of favored guests like Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, Mississippi Republican Governor Haley Barbour and former Republican Congressman Bob Barr, all of whom have spoken before gatherings of America's largest white supremacist group, the Council of Conservative Citizens.

Hannity remains silent, too, about his relationship with his former friend, the neo-Nazi Hal Turner. Whatever he thinks about Turner's politics today, Hannity views his career as a uniquely glorious phenomenon--right-wing hate radio as the American Dream...

Defends Imus for calling African American college athletes "nappy headed ho's" on national TV (Something you and I would get fired for if we said it to a group of African American female co-workers sitting in a break room.

"Your source is the person you call a "neo-Nazi/white supremacist Hal Turner. Is this your journalistic standard to repeat the blog postings of people like this? ...In the posting Newshounds quotes from their new friend and journalistic source Hal Turner ..."

Not new, Phil. Hal Turner's blog was the source for the leftosphere's 2006 hysteria about Bush invading Iran on election eve, the "Bush blew the levees" story (in which Farrakahn even cited him by name) and various other cranky stories.

The reason they may not specifically deny all of Turner's claims is while he may have some dates wrong does he still have the phone numbers that he mentioned in this comment of his:

Sean gave me the secret "Guest call-in number" at WABC so that my calls could always get on the air.

When I utlized that call-in number, Sean would very often come onto that line during commercial breaks so we could chat before I went on the air. Our off-the-air chats grew to an exchange of other phone numbers, me giving Sean my home and cellular number and Sean giving me his direct dial-in number at Fox News channel.

It isn't your average Joe that gets these kind of numbers.

You don't have anything to prove that Turner is getting paid. Turner may very well be upset by the fact that Hannity tried distance himself from Turner. What is interesting is Turner mentioned Bob Grant leaving the radio and Hannity taking the spot. Phil Boyce in a seperate interview also mentions the same thing.

Bob Grant, Savage and Turner appears to be on the same page and Hannity may very well be on the same page as well only that it was Boyce who want at tamed right wing radio show and nothing over the top. This was Hannity's job.

I doubt that Hannity never new what the of Bob Grant's show was like because Phil Boyce certainly knew and probably went over it with Hannity so Hannity can get an idea not to put to much over the top on air as per Phil, but privately who knows how extreme Phil and Hannity really are and Turner is a clue. Because I doubt that Phil didn't know Hannity gave Turner the special phone numbers and I doubt that Phil and Hannity never brought up Turner in any private conversations they may have had.
info | 03.23.08 - 11:47 pm | #

"But you DO know that what Turner said was false. I cleared that up. I told you when I hired Hannity. It was not until early 1997. Turner claims he began his friendship with Sean in 1993, when both were expectant fathers. Sean's first child was not born until 1998. These are facts, easy to check out. Yet you ignore them and quote the blog of some guy because you want to discredit Sean. That is pretty close to knowing you are wrong, and doing it anyway.

And somebody took a quote of mine out of context. I did say this: “WABC was seen as negative, kind of right-wing wacko, maybe even slightly racist. I don’t know that it was racist, but there were certainly things said on the station that were difficult for the company to defend.”

Phil Boyce, Program Director
WABC Radio

So because you "cleared up" it is no longer true? And by clearing it up you mean posting that "it's a lie" while offering no factual proof what so ever. OK, well then what happens if I say it is true. I know it's true. Is it now un-cleared up?

Secondly, I don't know how much of a misquote that was. Here is more from your little interview.

INK: When you arrived at WABC in 1995, you had to take it apart and start from scratch. Were you ready for that?
Phil Boyce: No. I was not fully prepared for what I was walking into. I think I was a good PD, but I didn’t come to WABC with the idea of blowing it up and starting over. I came here wanting to keep it on top. The problem was that there were some internal problems at the station that caused the foundation to crack. There were some things really wrong with the station, and we had to fix them. If I had known the task ahead when I took the job I probably would have stayed in Detroit. As it was, I still had panic attacks for several months after I took this job, wondering if I was good enough to handle it — and that was before I had to blow it up and start over.

INK:How would you describe the problems you faced?
PB:There was a programming problem and a sales problem. WABC had been a Talk station since 1982, and from a ratings standpoint, it was very successful. It was the most-listened-to Talk station in the nation; it was ranked roughly No. 5 in New York and the No. 1 AM station in New York City. But the station had lost money every one of those years since 1982. To be fair, it was close to making a profit and was probably going to turn around anyway, but there was a negative halo over the station, hurting it from a sales standpoint and making it difficult to convince advertisers that this was a legitimate Radio station. WABC was seen as negative, kind of right-wing wacko, maybe even slightly racist. I don’t know that it was racist, but there were certainly things said on the station that were difficult for the company to defend.

INK: Bob Grant being the primary offender?
PB: Well, it was just maybe four months before I got here that our afternoon host was on the cover of New York magazine, wrapped in a red WABC banner with a big headline that was embarrassing to the station. We had to do something, but I was here about a year before we made the decision to blow it up. It was the most difficult and stressful thing I have ever encountered, yet perhaps the biggest challenge and biggest potential success of my career. And I remember thinking, “If I can rebuild this Radio station, I’m in hero country.”

INK: So you cleaned house a little.
PB: Yes. We fired Bob Grant and a night host who was similar to him at that time. I have to say, Bob is a great Talk show host, and he worked very well with me for that year. I had to teach Bob how to tone it down; and in Bob’s defense, I don’t think anyone had ever done that with him. He had been encouraged to do some things that eventually came back to haunt him. The die was cast, and one little slip-up was going to result in his being fired — there were no more second chances. When we made that decision, it was spring of 1996, right in the middle of the spring book. I knew it would take five years to rebuild the station, but I didn’t know that I’d have five years, because in this day and age when they want quick turnarounds, who’s going to give a PD five years? So I kept that to myself. I never told anybody, “Hey, this is going to take us five years.”

INK: How long did it take?
PB: Ironically, it was kind of prophetic, because five years to the book after that happened — in the spring of 2001 — we once again were the most-listened-to Talk station in the nation, we were No. 5 in New York, and No.1 on the AM band. But it wasn’t until that day that I really thought we could do it. Actually, I knew we could do it; I just didn’t know how much time it would take.

Just got done reading the post from Sean's PD. You guys just got punked. Absolutely, utterly punked. Insisting that any blogs from Hal Turner MUST be true just continues to drag your credibility (what's left of it) deeper and deeper into the sewer. Have none of you ever considerd at any time that this Turner guy might be a complete nut and a liar to boot?

Using this as "proof" that Sean Hannity is a racist has blown up in your faces. It's over.

If Hannity had a shred of decency or honesty, he would come out and admit that yes, he knows who hal turner is, and that yes, hal turner appeared on and contributed heftily to Sean's early radio program as well as his later program on Fox "news".

Truth be told...thre's a bit of Hal Turner in every Republican in America.
The stereotype that every black male is a criminal, the xenophobic hatred of new immigrants (never mind the fact that everybody in America is an immigrant if you trace their roots, even including Native Americans), and the blind hatred of every single Muslim on the planet.

Then there's that SPECIAL kind of Republican, the 10%er, if you will.
These fully indoctronated Turner types take it a step further...they are convinced that America is dominated financially and politically by the Jewish people. They can't fathom such great sucess coming from a one race...it must be a conspiracy.
Well, I have Jewish neighbors, and am proud to say I bought my house from an 80 some year old Holocaust survivor, and there is no conspiracy.
These humble survivors scrimped and saved while working at their own Jewish butcher shop, and made it a point to not only send their children to college, but to send all 3 of them to Harvard University in the 1960s.

If there's one thing I've learned about Jewish people, it's that they reach for the stars, and they pick one thing to be and then master it in all it's facets. Entertainment, banking, law, medical...you can't blame folks for wanting sucess and then working their ass off to realize the dream.

Fuck Hal Turner...he's a loser...that's why he's filled with hatred.

ARYANS GATHER, HOPE FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING

The Aryan Nations once again held its summer World Congress in northern Idaho.

70-80 people attended the racist gathering held at Farragut State Park. Aryan Nations leader Richard Butler told the press that the event was a "prelude to the awakening of the White race".

They prayed for "an eventual ethnic cleansing" of people of color and Jews.

The Aryan World Congress featured racist speakers from across the country. ...A participant at the the World Congress was HAL TURNER, host of "The Hal Turner Show."

Turner's show features his rants against:

"SAVAGE NEGRO BEASTS"

"LAZY-ASS LATINOS SLITHERING ACROSS THE BORDER WITH WET BACKS"

...Turner's show advertised a fictional product called:

"THE PORTABLE N*GG*ER LYNCHER"

and a racial video game by the National Alliance called:

"ETHNIC CLEANSING"

@ Phil Boyce, if that is really you.

You wrote "I have a word document going back years where your site (and those who make comments) have regularly and routinely called Mr. Hannity every name in the book."

I'm sure your book is full of only quotes from me, so when you're for volume 2, here's a few more.

Hannity is worse than the leftover crap festering at the edge of a toilet in Yankee stadium. He is a wanna-be Goebbles who openly hates anyone who doesn't toe the GOP party line. He is so ugly that when he goes up to the mirror and asks "Mirror Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" the man in the mirror shoots himself. His hot air diatribes are directly responsible for global warming. If he were in the Ku Klux Klan, he would be grand vizard next to (lynching party) Bill O'retard.

I can do this for days. But that's not the point. The point is, while YOU, yes you scumbag, were in charge of WABC over Hannity and the other assholes, why did you not fire him when he made racist, sexist, and slandering statements?
You don't have to answer that. We already know you're a hypocrite and a crybaby. Crying to us isn't going to save Klannity's ass. You chose to play the game, and now you're losing so you're crying.
AgentS | 03.24.08 - 3:00 am | #

To Phil Boyce,

If it's true that Hannity banned Turner after being offended by him, why don't you supply us with an audio of Turner's offensive language and Hannity's reaction?
Ellen | Homepage | 03.24.08 - 3:04 am | #

Then too, you have to factor in that many of his threats are lies. I doubt that anyone who comes after his "pal" Hannity is in any mortal danger from Hal. In fact, I think he wants people to be extremely critical of Hannity and to disseminate his blog. Hal is using this site and others as his pawns. Why kill a pawn . . . especially when the pawn is so useful?

as you said yourself, he will achieve his goals by any means necessary.
danny | Homepage | 03.23.08 - 7:52 pm | #

Do we know that? Do we know his threats are lies,Danny?

Turner is the kind of scuz who doesn't get his hands dirty. He has synchophants,little droolers who worship his fat ass. He doesn't have to do anything himself,like a Mixture of Jim Jones/Charlie Manson.

And really,the killing of a "pawn" is nothing. These kinds of nutcases do it all the time,have done it time and time again when it suited them. We're dealing with INSANE people here Danny,and insane people do not fit those curious molds that established society accepts as "normal".

Bill Cunningham, Bob Grant, Monica Crowley, Mark Levin, are 4 of Boyce's hires. All clear cut bigots. And of course Imus.

And Hannity has many racist associations with the CCC, Tony Perkins, Coulter, and others.

It's not just Turner.
Dave from queens | 03.24.08 - 7:41 am | #

And let us not forget 2 things.

Hannity likes to smear all Democrats because of something Robert Byrd did in the 1950s

He even smeared then Lt gov Bustamante of California based on an association of more than 30 years ago.

and when Hannity can't refute an idea, he resorts to Ted kennedy and Chappaquiddick, which was almost 40 years ago.
Dave from queens | 03.24.08 - 7:42 am | #

Another quick point.

Let's remember that Hannity for years has tried to CONCEAL this relationship.

When confronted with it he DENIED it.

Now the spin is what? YES and he denounced and rejected it?

You've had 10 yrs to denounce and reject.

Hannity's Lies - a sampler:

1. Initial knee jerk reaction to Malik Shabazz (paraphrasing) "Hal who? I don't know any..."

2. Outrageous, boldface lie regarding protest outside fallen Iraq soldier, Sgt. Jeremy Doyle's Funeral. Feigning self-righteous indignation, foaming at the mouth, he blamed the protest on "liberals". He read right from the newspaper account, skipped the part that talked about Reverend Phelps, and instead said it was a "liberal protest"...

This is psychotic - what a flagrant liar and asshole.

3. Flagrant lie that Howard Dean "advanced the theory" that President Bosh knew about 9-11 before it happened. Plays tape of Dean interview, editing out Dean saying "No, I don't believe that. I can't imagine the president of the United States doing that."

Hannity defends Duane "Dog" Chapman (multiple segments); defends Imus calling black female college athletes "nappy headed ho's" on national TV, defends anti-illegal immigrant vigilante group, Project Minuteman... (Hey, Seany, did you hire illegal immigrants when you were a contractor in California? I'm only askin') ... Gave white supremest neo-Nazi jackass, Hal Turner, carte blanch to call into Hannity's radio show, until Sean-y starts making the big bucks (or maybe he was "advised" to distance himself...)

Yet -

- is silent about the racist affiliations of favored guests like Family Research Council president Tony Perkins, Mississippi Republican Governor Haley Barbour and former Republican Congressman Bob Barr, all of whom have spoken before gatherings of America's largest white supremacist group, the Council of Conservative Citizens."

... demanded that Al Gore fire his black campaign manager, Donna Brazile, for her comment that "we're not gonna let the white boys win."

...repeatedly attacked Democratic candidate and Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante as a racist for refusing to renounce his association thirty years prior with the Chicano student group MECHA.

... is -LAUGHABLY- leading the "guilt by association" charge against Obama.

Hannity, it seems to me, is a proven liar who will stoop to any level (like doctoring tapes and "skipping" parts of news accounts) and racist conservative idiot AM hate-jock radio asshole who's too stupid - and too much of a balloon-headed cartoon character, to be taken seriously by "the normal majority"...

... is none the less somewhat of a force with the "lowest common denominator" conservative moron voting block lower down the intellectual food chain.

Let's clear up a few things about Hal Turner. Hal Turner was recently outed as a 'FBI' informant when his followers hacked his e-mail account and found he was in contact with the FBI. Hal Turner quit the movement after he was exposed. Stop reading the MSM, it censors news. After all, censorship is becoming America's favorite past-time. The US gov't (and their corporate friends), already detain protestors, ban books like "America Deceived" America Deceived (book) from Amazon and shut down Ron Paul. Hal is a gov't spook.

"On the credibility scale, compared to Turner, Sean is off the chart."

Phil Boyce, Program Director
WABC Radio

On the basis of what Phil, or should I say Phill? If you are judging on who made you more cash then yes Hannity wins, however if you are going solely on who has consistently, no matter how nauseating it may be, reported, or should I say (since neither of them really report the news, both if them butcher it with their ideologies) opined on the news, then I would have to go with Turner.

Hannity is a scum bag, I mean he is such a hypocrite that it's almost not worth arguing because anyone with a rational head on their shoulders, democrat or republican, already knows this.

Now you have to do your thing in order to try to protect your ATM card (Hannity), and thats fine. But I am still baffled why you went around from site to site spamming the same message like a Ron Paul supporter treats you tube videos. I mean from what I have read you are quite successful, that makes it harder for me to figure out why you would resort to juvenile SPAM tactics.

It is also telling that

1. He would go to this site, HuffPo, and others, BEFORE going Turner's OWN site. It seems to me he would want to refute something by going to the SOURCE of that refutation.

2. It would even be HIM defending Hannity in the first place; why isn't HANNITY refuting Turner's claims? Hannity's a big boy; why does he need Boyce {whom he hasn't worked for in years} to run interference?

Whelp, Hal if you're reading this post, I want to tell you how I've summed up fair weather Hannity. He is, definitely, not a loyal friend that is for sure. He threw you under the bus in front of millions of viewers and didn't bat an eye. Hannity didn't even try to stand up for you as he has other racist in the past. Instead he dismissed you as an unknown, which in his book equates to a nobody. How do you like them apples?

At least Obama had the guts and courage not to throw the Reverend under the bus. Obama knows the meaning and value of true friendship. Friends stand by each other through thick and thin--true friends that is. How does it feel to be stabbed in the back?

I give you some credit though, you voice your true feelings, and stand by them. Hannity throws a rock and hides his hand. Some friend you have in Hannity.

FOLKS! I don't have the time to go through all the comments to see if someone has already mentioned this so here: Hal Turner was outed as an AGENT PROVACATEUR recently. Some dude hacked into Hal's computer and exposed a relationship with an FBI agent.

Every time Hal posts at his site his first commenters are intel agents who howl about the Jooooooooooz and firing up the ovens and gas chambers. These people are on the dole, just like the people at StormFront. More like FalseFront.

Why are our tax dollars paying for the interest on Federal Reserve loans so that Government can pay people to spew racist bilge on the internet? They're trying to identify the Timothy McVeighs of the world. To identify/detain them? MAYBE. One might also refer to these sites as "Recruiting Agencies" because Timothy McVeigh types make good "lone gunmen" patsies.

Know how I know? Anytime I try to call them out on it I get censored.

I am a counseling psychologist and have watched Fox news on and off for years and quickly realized that Sean Hannity was a mentally unstable man. He suffers from innumerable personality disorders. He is very insecure and fragile about his own sense of self. He has a strong need to blame others for his own inferiority complex (simply put...extreme fear of anyone who is different). Please guys/gals lets not let this issue die. Lets rally to force Fox news to fire this insecure racial bigot. I am sooooo thankful that this closet racist has been finally smoke out of his cave. I have known for years that this racially prejudice guy was ranting and raving mostly about racially divisive issues. Clearly, he has an agenda to damage Barack because he is a huge 'Playa Hater'. Trust me when I tell you this is the worst kind of human being on the face of the planet and he will destroy good and honest individauls because of his racism. Lets blog, email, call and write until we force this information about his relationship with Hal Turner to the national media.

"Force Fox News to fire this bigot..."

You will not force Fox News to fire him, because he is not a bigot. And I have trouble believing you're a doctor of anything. What doctor would spew this garbage and even include this false story about Hal Turner as part of their "diagnosis"? "Worst kind of human being"? I think people who libel other people in this fashion are closer to that designation.

I hate to judge Obama, Hannity, or anyone else by the words of a third person.
People will not tell you their real feelings unless they are comfortable. To make people feel comfortable, one must appear friendly.
I have talked to white supremacists who plan to vote for Obama because he is half white; they think 50% is white enough for such an easy job as the presidency. They are voting for Obama because they hope he won't suck up to the Jews.
It takes all kinds and one doesn't have to agree with any of them. One certainly cannot blame Obama!

INDEPENDENT UPDATE:

In a 02/23/03 article in The Record entitled "A Voice Filled With Hatred, Intolerance" Boyce seems to imply that the show (not Hannity specifically (OR Rush Limbaugh!)) stopped taking Turners calls because they were 'repetitive', not because they had any problem with what they had to say. This is all in a continuous quote from the article, in context, with my comments inserted:

"He became an annoyance and a nuisance and kind of repetitive in what
he was trying to say," says Phil Boyce, program director at WABC-AM,
which airs both shows. "Basically, the shows didn't feel he was of
value anymore.".

(Sounds to me more like Hal had just gotten boring. The article goes on...)

Boyce said Turner's views were "inappropriate," but wouldn't get more
specific. Boyce also said that Turner would badger call screeners and
producers in an effort to get on the air.

(So he was repeatedly inappropriate? What did he say and how many times did he say it? Again, it sounds like the problem here was that he was repetitive AND annoying)

Turner, however, says Limbaugh and Hannity became too timid.
"Talk radio was always the venue that people could use to express
their opinion about things without an interlocutor," he says. "But
alas, it seems to have succumbed to political correctness."

Is it just me or is that a strong condemnation of the messenger, with just a passing mention of the 'repeated' and 'inappropriate' message?

Another astute and cogent argument from our friends on the Reich Wing.

You, sir, are a gentelman and a scholar.

P.S. Did you change your name to represent your position on 11/4?
