Sean Hannity falsely claimed that Bill Clinton wrote an Op-Ed piece in The New York Times criticizing President Bush, shortly before Bush's inauguration in January 2000.
However, one should never accuse Sean Hannity of lying. That would put Sean out of business. If Hannity didn't lie, he'd have nothing much to say.

You are conveniently ignoring Clinton's real message in that op-ed. Under the guise of being a champion of blacks and minorities (which he has since shown that he is not, by way of several dubious comments which were criticized even by the Obama campaign at the time), Clinton's actual meaning and motive in this op-ed piece was to:
1. Drive home the point that his buddy Al Gore deserved to have won, because "too many people felt the votes they cast were not counted." Remember, this was right after the 2000 "hanging chad" debacle and Gore's attempt to usurp the Presidency after Bush won it fair and square.
2. Swell up the Democrat voter base by way of recruiting more black voters. (Predictably, the old mantra is there -- "if you're white, you think the system is fair; if you're black, you don't" -- which is statistically false in nearly every poll, but that never stops the mantra from being repeated.)
3. Implicitly, pre-emptively criticize the Bush administration for what Clinton saw as an administration that would support racial profiling, be too tough on drug offenders, and too tough on death penalty cases.
As with nearly anything the Clintons say or do, you cannot simply take this at face value. There are always lines to read between.
Maybe Hannity tells the truth. Today, me and 2000 coworkers were told our company will be moving to Mexico within 2 years. Apparently cement manufacturing does not work with cap and trade. Still not sure what that is, but was told America is entering an era of extreme environmentalism. Obama is supposed to be for the little guy but It seems just the opposite. Last year I received a $600.00 stimulas check. This year we pass a huge stimulas bill and I get no check and find out my job is soon to be gone.

That is what happends when you attack the wealthy and big buisness with insane taxes. The wealthy cut back on hiring and their spending, which means no work for you and no job.
Capitalism works! If we could just keep the governments dirty little fingers out of it.
F the wealthy....... 50 years ago a CEO was making only 20 times his workers salary. Now they make 50 to 100 times more than their workers. GREED will end America thats a fact.
Amen, Anonymous. Very well said. Right On! Hannity is just a puppet and a mouthpiece for the wealthiest. Everything out of his mouth is simply propaganda for the corporations. Hannity has no use for the truth. He's a Right-Wing Propaganda Peddler. The Truth is not even a blip in Sean Hannity's universe.
