Sean Hannity: Lazy Pope Francis Doesn’t Understand the Virtues of Hard Work

It’s opposite day again on Sean Hannity’s show, and he’s going to let us know that anyone who has money worked really, really hard for it — and that the Pope doesn’t understand the virtues of hard work.

Because Pope Francis advocates for the poor, Sean Hannity claims he’s sticking up for lazy, worthless people who don’t understand the virtues of hard work.

“And it’s like now we’re creating the resentment of those who get up, make decisions, they go to school, they develop marketable skills, they decide to work, they make intelligent decisions . . . and now, all of a sudden, they’re being hated,” Hannity said on his radio show, discussing the drive for income redistribution. “And they’re being called greedy, and selfish. And they’re now being condemned. And we’re celebrating mediocrity, or laziness. Because if you think about it, who are we going to take the money from?”

He went on:

I don’t know any Kennedys. I know people who have money. I know people that are comfortable . . . that are struggling . . . that are poor . . . that have come from nothing to make money in their lives . . . And in every case of everyone that I know that has money, with the exception of one person that used to work on my TV staff that was born rich, he’s the only person I know. Every other person I know . . . that has anything decent in their life, . . . everybody that has something, earned it. I don’t know anybody that has gotten something through ill-gotten gains. We are the sum total of every decision we make in our lives.

I’d hazard a guess that the reason Hannity doesn’t know anyone who has gotten anything through ill-gotten means is because he doesn’t know anyone born into extreme wealth. He goes on to rant about taxes — you know, those things that you pay in order to gain and use public roads, public schools, government science funding, police, fire, and other utilities — and finishes off by warning us that these “hard workers” will “go Galt” on us if we don’t stop demanding that they pay their fair share to society.

Hannity seems to think that having a skill set honed to providing a service is all it takes to being a millionaire or billionaire, since that’s how those millionaires and billionaires got their money. I have a few questions I’d like to direct at Hannity and every other Libertarian thinker: Are you a billionaire? If not, why? Because you’re lazy, perhaps? If it worked for them, why shouldn’t it work for you? The only excuse, then, by your own words — by Hannity’s own words — for not making billions of dollars is that you’re just flat out lazy.

Or, you could acknowledge reality — they didn’t work for their gains, and they got that money by gaming a broken tax system, and rigging the system in their favor at the cost of everyone else.

Sean Hannity Cuts and Runs After Getting Schooled On Obamacare

It’s not often that the facts and reality regarding Obamacare come out on Sean Hannity’s FOXNews lie marathon, but when they do, the conservative host cuts and runs like a scared playground bully.

That’s precisely what happened on Friday’s edition of the Sean Hannity Show. While the host was in the middle of one of his Obamacare “panel” segments, two brave and very informed supporters of Pres. Obama’s signature reform spoke out and hit him with the hard reality of the Republican Party’s hypocritical opposition to Obamacare’s countless benefits and improvements to our old healthcare system.

Hannity’s response? “I gotta go.”

However, he did find the time to ask one more question and ask for a show of hands, “Who here thinks this (law) is wildly popular?”

Predictably, only a few members of the largely conservative audience raised their hand.

One of them dropped this gem on Hannity, “Not yet, but it will be! And in 10 years you will be taking credit for it, Sean!”

At this point, FOXNews is liberal commentator Alan Colmes jumped in and hit him with a list of popular reforms included in Obamacare, leaving Hannity visually flustered and grasping for an answer.

Hannity’s rebuttal? “Coming up next…”

In typical FOXNews fashion, he lied through his teeth and ran away when confronted by the truth.

Please watch this very telling video and shared this article on social media forums so that everyone will see what paid FOXNews shills do when confronted by a hard dose of Obamacare truth.

Cumulus Media Dropping Sean Hannity And Rush Limbaugh

Cumulus Media, the nation's second-largest owner and operator of AM and FM radio stations, will not be renewing the contracts of hyper-conservative pundits Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. According to Politico, the decision comes after a breakdown of negotiations between Cumulus and Clear Channel "over the cost of the distribution rights," and supposedly has nothing to do with any comment made by either of the hosts. While this is not the first time that Cumulus and Clear Channel have had disagreements, Politico'c source, who was apparently close to the negotiations and who declined to be identified, told the news publication that "Cumulus is known to drive a hard bargain on costs, and Clear Channel is known to seek top dollar for big names...Clear Channel was unlikely to reduce the cost for distribution rights to a level that would satisfy Cumulus." As of this morning, neither company has issued a comment.

According to industry insiders, however, Cumulus has already started reaching out to other conservative personalities to potentially fill these upcoming vacancies. Others predict that Cumulus will likely use one of their existing talents to fill such slots, such as Mike Huckabee, Mark Levin, or Michael Savage, Meanwhile, Hannity and Limbaugh will likely migrate over to Premiere. It is not yet clear if either host will suffer from decreased syndication as a result.

Limbaugh and Cumulus were already at odds earlier this year, when Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey blamed Limbaugh's tasteless comments about Sandra Fluke for their "$2.4 million first-quarter decline in revenue related to talk programming." Neither host has issued any sort of comment about their negotiations with Cumulus since then.
