Just in time for Yom Kippur comes a reminder of what a world-class ganef Sean "Shonde" Hannity is. On Sunday, Hannity ran a "special report" entitled "Barack Obama: History of Radicalism," in which he presented, as a credible resource, at least one gentleman with a radical history of his own. We speak of Andy Martin: peripatetic electoral also-ran, self-styled "consumer advocate" from a parallel universe in which evil consumer advocates thrive, and one of the few people to earn the label "vexatious litigant" from the Wikipedia. (Side note: "Vexatious Litigants Of The Wikipedia" is my new favorite punk rock band name.)

Martin is well-known for bragging about being a pioneer in the field of spitting out cuckoo-nutlog attacks on Barack Obama, but the far more interesting thing about Martin is that he's a dedicated anti-Semite. Ari from Oxdown Gazette has the details:

The same Andy Martin who,
"...ran as a Democrat for Connecticut's 3rd Congressional District seat under the name "Anthony R. Martin-Trigona," his campaign committee filed papers saying its purpose was to "exterminate Jew power in America and impeach U.S. District Court of Appeals judges in New York City."
And that wasn't his only anti-Semitic outburst:

In a New York bankruptcy case, he referred to a judge as a "crooked, slimy Jew." During the bankruptcy dispute, he filed a civil-rights lawsuit claiming Jewish bankruptcy judges and lawyers were conspiring to steal his property. He asked a court to bar "any Jew from having anything to do with plaintiff's property."

In another motion in the case, he wrote: "I am able to understand how the Holocaust took place, and with every passing day feel less and less sorry that it did, when Jew survivors are operating as a wolf pack to steal my property."

How exactly, does this sort of cracked-out wackface make it into a report on someone else's alleged radicalism? Well, we remind you, Hannity has something of a history of pallin' around with anti-Semites.

From the great John Cleese [Monty Python] on one of the greatest buffoons in America today:

Ode to Sean Hannity

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
Youre a profanity
Hannity

  • I still can't believe MSNBC got rid of Keith. Yes, he was outspoken and controversial but so what? He always stimulated conversation and added a few laughs for good measure. His offbeat look at politics and erudite commentary will be missed.

  • I really miss Keith Olbermann

  • Rachel Maddow is the most beautiful woman in the world.

  • I don't want to get in the middle of the anti-Semite debate here but why is it that Olberman always had Fox News people as his worst of the week. It made him come across as a hateful childlike mean spirited jerk. I am happy MSNBC got rid of him. I don't mind Maddow although I disagree with her on many things. She does not come across as a hateful jerk like Olberman did. Hannity can also be a huge hypocrite too but his show gets ratings I guess. Olberman's did not.

  • I am now a Maddow fan

  • I certainly don't miss Keith Olbermann.

  • I'm an Anti Semite...

  • @TheKmbt are you saying its bad to be black thats racism i thought liberals were supposed to be good to everybody and only the tea party was racist which is still the most bs i've ever heard. anyway hannity never denied that what andy martin said was stupid but he has to interview everyone of every political belief yes he is a republican but it doesnt mean he agrees with every republican out there lets not be as my friend Kmbt puts it "niggers".

  • Hannity is a nigger! And that goes for everyone at FOX

  • @chieftainofmusic can you name one lie here? I'm not being an asshole I really just don't know that much about the material so please tell me.

  • How can Sean Hannity be so oblivious to his hypocrisy??

    God bless John Stewart for running all those clips of Hannity claiming he'd never do or say something side-by-side with him doing or saying those exact things.

  • @upsilon054 his show is on Current TV now
