Jesse Ventura slams Sean Hannity, who actually says America is 'better off' after George Bush!
Jesse Ventura has been going on TV a lot lately because he's promoting his new book, but he's been littering the airwaves with the carcasses of dead conservative talking points when it comes to the topic of torture and George Bush.

Elisabeth Hasslebeck had had the misfortune of trying to tackle Ventura earlier on The View, and had been exposed for the moron she is, especially on torture. So Ventura was on "Hannity" last night and much the same kind of complete and utter smackdown proceeded.

Best of all, get this: Sean Hannity thinks America is better off after George Bush instead of before. I'm serious. I'll do a Conservative/Pelosi impression on him and say that he's either a very sick man mentally a complete liar, a hairpiece hag or all three.

Hannity also did his teleprompter bit on Obama. Here's just a few of Hannity's insane ramblings (buckle up, it's a rough ride). Sean tried his best to get Jesse to bite on the "Bush inherited a rescession" bit -- which, um, didn't go very well...

Ventura: You're telling me that the United States was better off after George Bush or before him?

Hannity: After.

Ventura: Oh, my God. How can you make that statement?

Hannity: I just did..and I'll tell you why...

Ventura: It's ridiculous...This country was far better off (No.) before George Bush then it is after George Bush.

Hannity then read off his usual list of Islamofascist horrors confronting America and he asks Ventura what he would do.

Hannity: ...and we have radicals that think God is going to reward them with virgins in Heaven Jesse, how do we stop em? Tell me, what do you do?

Ventura: You pay attention to memos on August sixth that tell you exactly what Bin Laden is going to do. Instead we hear Condoleezza Rice going, "I didn't know what they were going to do." And the memos says Bin Laden set to hijack planes and ram them into buildings and your buddy George Bush, he was on vacation in Crawford at the time. Do you know he took over 900 days off for vacation?

Hannity: The President's never off....Do you know that, Let me give you an example...

Ventura: This one was on his watch because the biggest attack happened on his watch.

Hannity went into the deficit and Ventura told him Bush left it:

Hannity: This is Obama's deficit...

Ventura: To fix George Bush's mess.

To debate a bully you have to be a bully, unfortunately, and Ventura rolls over him like a rag doll.

19. Actually Hannity is very smart, just his viewers are stupid.
Like Limbaugh, Savage, Beck, O'Reilly, Coulter, etc. They know how to push the buttons of the RW moron masses while they laugh all the way to the bank.

2. Another republicon chickenhawk propagandist gets spanked

Republicon Homelander chickenhawks like Hannity make veterans like Ventura blow chunks -- in the faces of the chickenhawks.

9. Remember his religion comment?
That's when I knew the guy was less of a joke than the media was making him out to be.

"Well, (whoever was interviewing him), I'm not hostile to religion but in my experience it's mostly a crutch for people who can't deal with personal responsibility."

I myself am (more or less) religious, but his critique of America's use of religion is spot-on.

26. Didn't he say the religious were "weak-minded" or something?
And religion offered them a crutch? It struck me back then as an astonishing thought for a politician to admit to!

29. Yeah, that was it
It's a crutch for the weak-minded, or something like that. Any politician who will say that on television gets my attention.

5. Hannity, my God!
The Clenis is to blame for everything, including 9/11. He is not only partisan, but an idiot as well. The dumbest mouthpiece in the mainstream media. What a stupid, stupid man.

Too bad, after the verbal beatdown, Jesse couldn't have reached over and given insHannity a body slam.

18. After Jesse on Larry King, The View, and Hannity this will probably the last we see of Jesse
for a while

That being said after his appearances on Larry King and The View Hannity should have know what was coming....but Sean isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer

There's probably no chance, but I could almost see him running for the White House in 2016. Almost.

30. IMO that's not his role
He's an independent whose purpose is to critique the idiotic system we have. This system is 75% the fault of Republicans, but our party has made some of this too.

34. Notice that Hannity didn't bring up the topic of "enhanced interrogation"
Hannity kept Ventura distracted with rebutting RW nonsense, until the time ran out.

36. Having him out there on point
is a really good idea, since he doesn't care about covering his ass. He doesn't have anyone to protect and isn't at all frightened of people like Hannity. What he did to whatsername on the View (I don't feel like checking the spelling on the creature's last name) was priceless.

He's more sympathetic with the Dems right now than the Pugs, which is a good thing. Like he said, at least the Dems are "cash and carry" rather than borrow and spend. And, better yet, he's physically intimidating, which tends to cause the chickenhawks to shit their drawers.
