Hannity is so small-minded it's almost cute.

How embarrassing for anyone who still believes ANYTHING on FOX CABLE NEWS.

Gullible and mean, great combination.

So Hannity thinks that An Inconvenient Truth is "so overtly political, so overtly full of scare tactics"? Look in the mirror, dumbass ...

And when I think about how much this guy and his colleagues in conservatron broadcasting get paid for doing nothing more than routinely and publicly revealing their reactionary ignorance, I just get too damned depressed.

Hannity and Fox and all apart of the lying to truth scrambling do nothing more than call upon those who do not take some time to independently research falsehoods from reality.Al Gore knows very well scietifically what happens when there is an inbalance( and WE all should too watching our "Science President" who may be sientifically certifiable.The three parts of our government that should be balaced are falling into "W" (or who or what REALLY is running this government) hands. If the founding fathers were here,this garbage that is being installed is what they put their lives on the line.THE FACT IS: Carbonmonoxide is CHOKING our earth and the dirty money against Gore's film is coming from ....guess? Oh thinhk Houston. Think Bush money. Right, Right, Right -YOU ARE WRONG. DIRTY B****rds. Wrong and selfish, greedy and power hungry . You'd sell your childrens health for a buck. You have lied so much I believe you have lost it and going insane! This is pretty much preaching to the fine choir trying to save the EARTH. The choir knows.And as a member I know. I urge we connect with the "Right On " Deads. But certainly, there are enough concerned to see the film....Franlkly, I have grown attached in life to this planet enought to want to leave at least healing when it is time to "check out." Mary Basombrio aka Placid,

SO Long, And Thanks For All The Fish

Whenever Faux does an "environmental story or commentary," go to VOD and re-watch "The HitchHiker's Guide To The Galaxy," in which the dolphins, realizing that humans have ruined the planet, simply leave Earth, singing a gracious song about everything they liked about this place (among them, children and pregnant women.) I've done this so many times that I now can sing the entire song by heart--the opening lines are a good start.
So long, and thanks for all the fish,
Too bad it had to come to this...
We tried to warn you......(OK, now go learn the rest.)
Personally, I think it should be sung, blogged or e-mailed in its entirety to that network every time Faux trots out one of these "scientists."
Although it does suggest a frightening truth: that those at Faux, as many of us have come to believe, really ARE from another planet. Here's hoping that "An Inconvenient Truth" really does help save life on this one.

Until, that is, the Bushistas get hold of them and let 23-year-old college dropouts with faked credentials edit and mangle world-renowned NASA climatologists' brutally accurate descriptions of the dangers posed by global warming.

Now, Mr. Hannity, is that "overtly political," or is that blindly supporting our leaders until they march us all into the abyss?

You pompous, goose-stepping moron.
