    This is hysterical! Hannity is so nakedly ignorant its hysterical, he is so ignorant and so dogmatic that he falls apart in front of Moore.

    ...But you have to wait for it. Seven minutes into the video Hannity goes to Cuba

    Good video. I want to know if Hannity really paid in, as in paid in, >60% of his net income. I think he was lying, but, maybe not.

    Also, did you notice that Hannity seemed a little hesitant to admit he doesn't pay Social Security? His rational was that most Americans know that they (the rich) don't pay SS Tax, so why bring it up? WELL I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. I'm sure he knows I don't know (or most Citizens didn't either) and I could hear it in his voice. He was lying. Well, I'm pretty sure most Americans would like to see the wealthy paying their fair share.

    Also, I'm 100% that the Cuban hospital shown was a hospital that was closed. That was obvious. Then they dubbed in a short bit with some patients from another Cuban hospital. FauX News is pretty sad really.

    I dont see what was so bad about it. The only thing that mike got right was that the post office doesn't have to make a profit. mike said that they should pay twice as much in taxes but how the hell can spomeone pay twice of 60%. Also, people can move to cuba but for some reason they arent doing that.

    You are guilty of the same as Hannity, faulty reasoning. Hannity presents the choice like it would only be capitalism vs. socialism although there are degrees in between them.

    You present that anybody who likes Cuban healthcare should move there although it is just an example of government taking care of people like in Sweden, for example. But nobody is suggesting to move to sweden, where taxes are up to 80% for rich people.

    All Moore want is more care from the government towards the people just like EVERY other Western societies. Hannity could never explain why the USA is the only Western country WITHOUT a government healthcare system...

    Hannity's ratings are in the sky. Moore is kind of a pathetic blowhard.

    just because his ratings are high doesn't mean he knows what he talking about. just like high ratings doesn't mean a tv show is good(fucking american idol).

    Hannity's ratings are high because a lot of people watch/like him. Same with Idol. Really crappy shows don't get high ratings--like Joy Behar or Keith Olbermann.

    Which doesn't translate into to good or accurate and idol the worst shit on tv.
    I assume by crappy you mean have to compete for viewers.

    Good is a matter of opinion. I like Idol. In small doses.

    Hannity's rating are high because there are a lot of dumbsh7ts who like to hear someone who agrees with them, reinforce their simple mindedness.

    Although, the same can be said about the likes of Keith Olbermann. I wouldn't say he is nearly as simple minded as Hannity, but those who watch him do so to have their beliefs reinforced.

    I can't watch either because they only speak in half truths. IOW, their liars because they don't present the entire picture, or they are stupid and don't realize there is more to the picture.

    They exist because they create conflict and that creates higher ratings.

    Deep and more complete discussions about topics are boring because they are more complex and tend to bring us together instead of pitting us against each other. You know shows like Macneil/Lehrer on PBS.

    The news organizations are about ratings and conflict and creating divisions work much better at getting people to watch. We like watching car wrecks in America

    So does he really pay 60% tax?

    BTW I found Hannitys description of the NHS hilarious. As a Brit I failed to recognise any of that.

    String keeps insisting on that you are an intelligent person. Unfortunately all your posts are evidence to the contrary...


    Yes, so? That doesn't mean he is always right/correct. Actually it means nothing. it only means he is popular. Jerry Springer is watched by lots of people, if you want quality....

    Speaking of popular, the most popular TV show around the world is CSI:Miami and anybody who ever watched it knows that it is a pretty shitty show....

    Ever watch Jerry Springer?


    I've lived in four different countries, three which provided me with healthcare by taking some tax. I can say that I personally prefer living where I have government provided healthcare.

    That said, most people in the USA don't want it, and so be it. I can't wait for the Babyboomers to start becoming dependent on their kids. Nothing better than to see a person sleep in a bed they made

    I dont know what the tax structure is in Sweden. What i find confusing is one minute you hate the government and the next you want to give them 80 cents for every dollar you earn.

    He would have to have laughably incompetent accountants for that to be true, assuming it's even possible.
