(continued) It gets pretty hard after a point, trying to paint the MAINstream as the EXtreme, as you've tried. Perhaps YOU'RE playing to the ultra liberal LEFT, Mayolady. There is a LEFT wing too, you know.

And nice try, attempting to marginalise conserviatives by calling them 'ultra.' If that's the case then the majority of the USA must be 'extremist' because Hannity (fellow Irishman that he is) happens to be the #2-ranked radio talk show in the USA, after Limbaugh -- and Obama's poll numbers are tanking more and more, by the day.

See what I mean? Mayolady's comment perfectly illustrates the left's continuing attempt to portray conservatives as racists, if they ever criticise Obama. Tell me, Mayolady, is there any criticism whatsoever of Obama that you would NOT slam as 'racist'?

Sean Hannity is playing to the ultra conservative right. They ARE racists and want to label Obama as one. Glenn Beck and Hannity are of the same cloth. They want to condemn OBama on any and all grounds, justified or NOT! It is all a political game and the loser will be our nation.

Typical democrat response, only right winger's can be racist. The left continuosly use the race card when all else fails.

Well, it's some of the left's own over-used tactic, right back at them. Many of them just LOOOVE to scream 'racist!' at anyone who opposes Obama for any reason whatsoever, using it as some sort of twisted crucifix to try to shut them up and stifle all dissent. And it just doesn't work anymore (and never should have). It's a taste of their own medicine -- and they can't stand it. They can dish it out but they can't take it. And one key difference here is: what Beck said is actually TRUE.

We still haven't figured out Obama, have we. We were so desperate at the end of the Bush Presidency that we were willing to accept the first "rain maker" to come along. The man is surely and not so slowly tearing the country down. He is arrogant and condescending and it's only his way. Will we survive to the next election?

On the radio the other night, an Obama supporter was insisting that the now resigned representative massa was a racist...Why? Because his name was symbolic of the slave days as in "yes massa, no massa." We have gone way too far in this pc thinking behavior.

The race card has been a krypton-like weapon to deflect any criticism of obama. It is used early and often to marginalize any individual that speaks out against the leftist agenda. This is just another example.
