This doesn’t really surprise me:
Still, Hannity’s version of entertainment can go too far. Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams, according to three sources with knowledge of the incident. He even turned on the laser sight, causing a red dot to bob around on Williams’ body. (Hannity was just showing off, the sources said, but the unforeseen off-camera antic clearly disturbed Williams and others on set.)

Oh, there’s another one? Because the one I’ve seen is an oatmeal man.

Why do you do this to yourself? Watch Sean Hannity?

Sweet jeebus.

The Sean Hannitizer is the opposite of hand sanitizer: A single application & any sane human being feels filthy all day long. FWIW.

In Hannity’s commentary on the incident, he says people are being foolish because he has extensive firearm safety training and was obeying all firearm safety rules. Isn’t one of those rules ‘Never point a gun at someone you don’t intend to shoot’?

oh, really?

What are the first 3 words of the 2nd Amendment again?
Funny how it’s so sacred, yet idiot “men” can endanger and threaten anyone without consequences. Ha ha. Really funny.

Aren’t there a few more multi-tens-of-millions-of-dollars lawsuits ready to drop on Fox News? Seems like there should be. Maybe Juan should talk to a lawyer about that.
Cheers,

Shame on the authorities who didn’t pull this dipwad’s gun license privileges, “TV star” or not. Can you imagine someone less aggressively Angry-White-Man Entitled… say, Juan Williams… getting away with an idiot stunt like that?
Of course, since the President-Asterisk just fulfilled the NRA’s wet dreams by making it easier for people judged incompetent to handle their own Social Security checks to buy a gun, it’s no surprise that Hannity feels empowered to wave his penis substitute around in a thoroughly unsafe fashion!

At the very least Hannity should have been called to the carpet by HR and suspended. That sort of sh-t is unacceptable in a normal workplace.

If Fox even has an HR department, it’s two unpaid college interns and a high school file clerk.

Intriguing thread title. Wow, yet more evidence that Sean Hannity is an idiot.

@NobodySpecial: Juan Williams is a Fox idea of a liberal contributor. I don’t know anyone who is actually liberal who would give him the time of day. If he asked nicely. Even if he looked like he was about to miss a train.

Last weekend, an estranged father in St Charles, IL killed his twin daughters and wounded his wife before killing himself. The local police thought it important to mention he had a FOID card.

Where’s the NRA when we actually need them for once?

The most shocking thing was Juan Williams being described as a liberal commentator. If he’s a liberal I’m the tsar of all the Russias.
I’m not particularly surprised by Hannity being a fucking moron. That ship sailed 20 years ago or so.

@cmorenc: Need them for what?
Jerzy Russian
@Omnes Omnibus:
Perhaps to have them call for the enforcement of existing laws instead of adding new ones?
Omnes Omnibus
@Jerzy Russian: The NRA would defend it as an innocent jape. They don’t mean it when they call for the enforcement of existing laws. But, then, you already know that.
cmorenc
@Omnes Omnibus:
Speak out against Hannity for violating what the NRA itself teaches regarding fundamental gun safety rules, irrespective of their otherwise fanatical lunacy about unrestricted rights to own or carry. What Hannity did would get you kicked out of any gun range they are associated with.

@Omnes Omnibus:
Yes, I was being facetious.

@cmorenc: See above. The NRA is an active force for evil.

Sean Hannity is a fifty year old man who takes karate lessons from Chuck Liddell. Of course he thinks his pistol is a toy.

What was Hannity doing, packing heat at work? His job doesn’t require it.
