Big Time Hannity FAIL! He Claims to Have "Read the Entire Bill" then Lies About What's In It

(Via http://www.mediamatters.org ) After claiming to have "read the entire bill, all 1,018 pages," Sean Hannity falsely claimed that if small businesses "don't go for the public option" under a House health care reform bill, "they're going to be punished," and that end-of-life provisions in the bill would establish "a bureaucrat that is designated to save money talking to an elderly person and offering them end-of-life advice." In fact, the penalty on small business would apply to businesses that don't provide health care, not specifically on those that "don't go for the public option," and the end-of-life provisions would reimburse physicians -- not "a bureaucrat" -- for voluntary counseling sessions.

Hannity reading? Hahaha!

[Magzillas]

It doesn't matter if he read it or not - he knows that his viewer base is utterly ignorant of the bill's finer points and will believe anything he says.

[NMANISID]

Hes an obvious tool, but this video doesnt seem to conclude anything.

[AdvancedKoncepts]

HAHAHAHA!!! Phraseology!! He's almost as blatantly obnoxious as O'Reilly!! Fox News: Fairly Unbalanced and always good for a laugh!!

[MrSexypancake]

Phraseology?!? I couldn't focus on the rest of the video after that burst of stupid.

[perceptionislife]

Love fox news! It shows you how ignorant people can be! Also Hannity reading yeah that's crap, isn't it a sin to lie in his faith?

@ThePerniciousTruth I wouldn't consider them pigs. The rich people give employment to poor people here in America , which would help them improve their lives (as well as managing their money correctly so they could make a difference with their selves and their families). Rich people shouldn't always be visualized as greedy. It can sometimes be the other way around for a lot of the upper class Americans

@antonswitajewski Hannity would fact-check. People will just have to figure it out...
