Ok, so why not listen to a guy who has served as a Navy SEAL, gone through the SERE training, and served as a Governor of a decently populated state? What does Sean Hannity know more than Jesse Ventura? I wish he could have actually body-slammed Hannity. It was a TV moment I would have paid to see.
But my bigger point of posting about this video: Why does Sean Hannity get to spew his filth on national TV? Why does he get to tell the news and put his opinion on the airwaves when it is clearly wrong? When he clearly doesn't have a grasp of reality? I have this criticism of all cable news shows, including the ones I watch on a daily basis. It is unfortunate that these people are not held accountable for what they say more and that TV shows are based on ratings and not substance. It is a shame that Sean Hannity can say the stupidest things in the world (President Bush "inherited the negative impacts of 9/11") and continue to make money because those statements rev up a base that feels the same way, watch his show, and make him the number one cable news show. It is also unfortunate that he can convince the people who watch his show that what he says is golden truth.
I'm glad he got his ass handed to him by Jesse Ventura. However, it's too bad it won't do anything to change Hannity. He is going to continue to pollute the airwaves with his propaganda and utter falsehoods. Can we do something about that? Perhaps he'll drown if he ever mans up to Charles Grodin's and Keith Olbermann's challenge to be waterboarded for charity.
Oh, if we can only be so lucky!
