Yes, he _can_ be friendly to his callers but he also has times where he keeps interrupting people and cutting them off mid-sentence. Granted, it’s his show and he can do what he wants but it just seems that if his arguments were as strong as he would like to believe, he would allow a little more rebuttal. Maybe on the east coast he doesn’t come off as abrasive. ---

Hannity rubs me the wrong way primarily because of his sort of semi-I-used-to-be-a-frat-boy-should-be-a-weather-anchor looks, not to mention the fact that he takes a reasonable conservative position and just mangles it because it’s not about the position-its about Hannity. Give me a conservative or a liberal, but give me an intelligent one on either side. Now O’Reilly I don’t find him any smarter-but I like his sort of feisty, populist agenda a lot more than Hannity’s thoughtless grumblings. I see O’Reilly sort of as comedic relief at times. Aaargh, they’re both fools though! I’d rather give Scalia his own show. I don’t agree with half the stuff he has to say (and I wouldn’t qualify myself as liberal either) but at least he would get me to think about something rather than just simple doo doo-stirring/pissing me off. I mean, I am not _enraged_ when I read Scalia’s position on something in the way that I am when I see Hannity’s smug, jowly mug on TV. Maybe it’s not so much Hannity’s ideas as his jowls though-I mean their gleaming putrescence is just really offensive. That being said, I totally have a crush on both Bill Press and Tucker Carlson-except Tucker’s bowties are totally lame and he needs a better haircut, and a total fashion overall to tell you the truth. Now _he’s_ a cutie. He also needs a lot less “Tucker,” but whatever. So is Bill Press. A hottie that is. Erm yeah. Total ramblings. ---

But as a conservative-liberal team, they in no way beat Curtis and Kuby. Curtis Sliwa–founder of the Guardian Angels, sound street tough and ready for the rough and tumble. Ron Kuby–William Kunstler’s protoge. Highly liberal and willing to fight for causes such as Vieques. The only problem with the show is too many commercial breaks. ---

What is it with Alan Colmes eyebrows? He looks like the Joker. Count me in as another conservative leaning guy who doesn’t really like the mainstreem hosts who are conservative. Hannity and O Reilly teh main ones. Rush gets annoying too but sometimes he can throw a funny line out there. At least he listens to his callers and asks them questions. ---

I’m a conservative, and I find Sean Hannity’s radio show completely unentertaining. Rush Limbaugh is funny, he listens to what callers have to say even when they don’t agree with him and argues with them rationally, and he rarely ever shouts. Hannity, on the other hand, just rants and outshouts anyone who he disagrees with. I can’t remember ever hearing him say anything humorous. Hannity, crawl back into your hole. Go Rush! ---

Sorry but when Rush states that AL Gore and the Democrats want to **Destroy** the country I have to shut him off and shake my head. ---

\*\*Captain Amazing, too funny! I agree that Jonah Goldberg is the best of the conservative columnists. Consistently funny, logical, and add the Simpson references, he’s a keeper. I also like the Bull Moose, but that’s it. Considering how many conservative mouthpieces are venal, illogical, traitorous or disgusting, that ain’t a good ratio. Are there any other readable ones I’ve missed? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sean-hannity-you-conservative-putz/100076.md?page=1)
