Media Halloween: Yet Another Ploy of the Liberal Menace
posted by on November 2 at 14:05 PM
Just when you think a man like Sean Hannity can’t get any more pathetic, he opens his mouth again:
On the October 31 edition of Fox News’ Hannity & Colmes, co-host Sean Hannity claimed that “Halloween is a liberal holiday” and “is teaching our kids to be liberals.” Hannity explained that “we’re teaching kids to knock on other people’s doors and ask for a handout.” Co-host Alan Colmes responded by asking if that meant that Christmas is a “liberal holiday.” Colmes asserted that Halloween represents “the act of giving,” and asked: “Isn’t that a Christian thing, to give, to share with your community?” Hannity replied: “Not to teach your kids to beg for a handout.”
I guess the good old Halloween leads to Satanism argument has run out of steam.

What. A. Fucking. Moron.
Frankly, if conservatives (who, in the guise of the Catholic Church, initially "Christianized" a pagan mid-winter celebration) want to give it back to us liberals, that's fine with me; we can trade them back for, um - oh, right. Just about every religious holiday was co-opted from the pagans.
And heck, I always thought the notion of "gimme some candy or something bad might happen to you" was a purely Capitalistic form of extortion. I mean, isn't that essentially how the insurance industry operates?
Everybody hates him. And his ridiculous fucking hair. God. Someone shoot it.
Too late, Mr. Poe. I think it's been dead for quite some time already.
Christmas is totally a conservative holiday. It demonstrates the conservative ideal of demanding nice gifts from others while giving shitty stuff in return.
Colbert did a bit like this the other day on his show (Halloween teaches kids to beg for handouts). I wonder if he was mocking H&C or if he came up with it independently? I prefer to think he came up with it independently since that makes Hannity look like even more of a complete moron.
Those welfare queens are never going to go straight if we keep giving them candy.
Conservatives don't ask for handouts? Since when? The RNC, PTL Club, Pat Robertson, every church ever, well, it is endless isn't it?
So Hannity's taking his talking points straight from the Onion's "Editorial Cartoon" now, is he?
Steven Colbert on the Colbert Report just did a bit on this a couple of nights ago. WTF is going on with the right? Parroting parodies about themselves.
PS. to be clear Colbert was saying the stuff about kids begging as if he had made it up on his own...
Trick or Treat! i.e. Give us candy or we'll TP your front yard!--sounds like extortion to me. Forget conservatives or liberals--I think Halloween has been taken over by the Mafia...
