Hannity himself is a pitchman for the company under federal investigation. As Hannity endorses his friends

"wakeup: "Oh yes... because all Republicans are innocent and are not to blame for anything" Ah, of course. 'Republicans can be criminals too, therefore Hannity committed fraud.' You're a smart cookie. "

if it talks like a duck, and walks like a duck...

The point of posting this video was due to about 18 months of Hannity ranting about "Questionable Assiciations" of Obama and how people have the right to know the extent of those associations referring to Obama and Bill Ayers. Obama explained his association with Ayers several times, yet Hannity kept on going with Rev Wright, Obama the radical, Obama the socialists. The next time Hannity even utters the words questionable assiociations this will be thrown right back in his face.

The dishonesty here is unbelievable.

Hannity endorses the buying of gold as an advertisement for a sponsor. His link to the fraud is about as deep as the link between Madoff and his own investors.

Amazing how you're so ready to jump the gun and call Hannity a crook, and not a possible victim of the scam as well.

Moron.

It is now secret among financial crowds that Stanford has been on the radar of the SEC and now the FBI and Bank Regulators. For Hannity to say that all of this is news to him is not possible. He chose to to have Stanford as a sponsor and then used his name and personality to lead his listeners directly into the hands of a con man for whatever Stanford was paying him for the endorsement. Those are the facts, they are undisputable, and that's that...

Hey Hannity, could you please let me in on that billion dollar gold deal. I'm referring to the billions of dollars that you and your buddy Stanford stole from hard working people. You personally endorsed Stanford. REMEMBER?

You're personally responsible for people losing their kids savings for college.

Sean, why are you stealing from the kids?

I hope the idiot douchebag Hannity goes down hard for this one!!!

[dasurass]

lock his ass up, and i hope he drops the soap.

Hannity jumped all over Blagovich (sic) and he is only under investigation.

ultra: "Stanford has been in the new for laundering, fraud, and bribery investigations for years!"

Back this argument again, eh?

Since when do investigations of large companies ever amount to proof of guilt? Moreover, what large companies are not, or have not been, under investigation for a multitude of reasons?

You're again asking Hannity to be omniscient. To know which charges are true and which ones are false.

Criminal convictions have meaning, investigations do not.

[UltraSWG]

You are either very ignorant of the facts, or are willfully obfuscating here.

Stanford has been in the news for laundering, fraud, and bribery investigations for years!

Jan 3, 2007 - The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and others have been investigating whether Texas billionaire Allen Stanford was involved in laundering drug money

Feb 28, 2007 - PONZI INVESTIGATION. Feds probe banker Allen Stanford's ties to Congress.

This was Associated Press, but Hannity didn't know! Right.

[irpwny]

ultra: "Hannity had to know it because it was in the news"

On the totem pole of probable guilt, an investigation ranks well below even an arrest and criminal charge.  Trying to impute complicit wrongdoing on the part of Hannity is beyond absurd.

[UltraSWG]

Hannity had to know it because it was in the news and he's a member of the Associated Press. He would have to be the most uninformed member of the press to never have gotten wind of this. oddly enough, my opinion of him isn't THAT low.

[irpwny]

ultra: "Stanford has been on law enforcement's radar...This guy was dirty LONG before the FBI came for him and Hannity knew it."

It's interesting how you never provide an argument, facts, etc. to support your position.

Hannity, I presume, had access to police logs, records, FBI investigations and the like?

Or did Hannity "know" about Stanford's illegal activities merely because you don't like him?

Bravo, my child, you're a special little boy.

[UltraSWG]

Stanford has been on law enforcement's radar screen for the better part of 10 years.

A year prior to the charges being filed, Mexican authorities detained one of Stanford's private planes. Checks found inside the plane were believed to be connected to the Gulf cartel, reputed to be Mexico's most violent gang.

This guy was dirty LONG before the FBI came for him and Hannity knew it.

My fellow Americans please stop allowing Fox News & their lawyer opinion makers to polarize us. RNC or DNC, we need policies for the good of the people. We can start will Global Zero and no more prescription drug ads on TV, just like the ban on Cigarette ads. Let's open the free market in healthcare, people without insurance should be able to pay the lowest insurance rate. End the War on Drugs, War on Cancer and War on Terror. Stop the CIA from overthrowing other governments, Operation Ajax.
