Interview - part 1

TRANSCRIPT:
SEAN HANNITY: All right. One week from today.

[]
J. MCCAIN: ... Hershey, Pennsylvania — this place was rocking, not only for me, by the way, but Sarah Palin. She has ignited something really incredible in American politics, in my view.

HANNITY: she had huge crowds and a lot of enthusiasm, obviously. And the issue of redistribution of wealth. It first came up with "Joe the Plumber"...
You've used the term "Senator Redistribution." Explain what you mean by that.

J. MCCAIN:... it's very obvious from a long record of being in the far left-hand lane he has a clear record of being the most liberal senator in the United States Senate. We've seen that act before with George McGovern, Jimmy Carter and others in the liberal left. They think that the solution to America's problems is to take money from one group of Americans and give it to another. Now, that has been proven to be a very bad idea in America, but also in other countries. So it's an idea that you can somehow help everybody's lives by taking money from those who have through hard work, spending all their lives building up some wealth that they can give to their kids. But more importantly, create jobs. When people in America, like "Joe the Plumber" are able to buy his boss' business, he creates jobs and shares wealth and expands wealth that way, rather than...

HANNITY: It's amazing...

J. MCCAIN: ... rather than saying, you can't have this money, I've got to give it to somebody else.

HANNITY: It is amazing how "Joe the Plumber" — you know, everywhere I go — and I saw a sign here today, "I'm Sally the Homemaker," I'm somebody the Bartender. And I hold up signs whenever I go, "I'm Sean the Loudmouth Talk Show Host."

J. MCCAIN: You know, it's amazing. This "Joe the Plumber" event has really been a catalyst. It really has. You know we look back on political campaigns. "I paid for this microphone, Mr. Breen." Ed Muskie crying outside The Union Leader, or whatever it was. You know, there are moments when something happens and clearly Senator Obama going to "Joe the Plumber's" driveway and him getting an answer that clearly he didn't like. And by the way, the way that they attacked him? Please.

HANNITY: They've gone after him pretty hard, they've mocked him on the campaign trail. There's been apparently issues of investigating his background.

J. MCCAIN: Oh yes.

HANNITY: And I thought Governor Palin had it bad at one point when they sent a mini army up to Alaska to investigate her.

Well, here's...

J. MCCAIN: And, of course, if anybody in the media, much less "Joe the Plumber," asks a tough question, then they're boycotted, they pull their ads.

HANNITY: I want to get to that, because Senator Obama said it's a tragedy "... that redistribution of wealth was not pursued by the Supreme Court."

J. MCCAIN: That's what's scary. You know, a lot of people believe that there's going to be three vacancies on the United States Supreme Court. And some of the thoughts and writings and statements by Senator Obama about how it's the job of the judiciary to be "redistributed?" But I think — fast forward after just a short time ago. Senator Obama opposed Justices Roberts and Alito. And he said on ideological grounds. And Sean, a true confession. I voted for Justices Breyer and Ginsburg. Not because I agreed with their philosophy, but because they were qualified to serve.

[]
HANNITY: Let me ask you a couple of simple questions about this redistribution of wealth of "Senator Redistribution." Is it socialism?

J. MCCAIN: Certainly it's part of the socialist creed, philosophy, to share the wealth. Now if Senator Obama's a "socialist" is something that I'll let those theoreticians decide.

But the fact is that it's a far-left liberal view that you need to take money from one group of Americans and give it to another, to take people who have built up through their labor and their hard work and their dedication to the free enterprise system and take it away from them.

[]
HANNITY: But you know, 40 percent of Americans — for example, the bottom 50 percent of wage earners...

J. MCCAIN: Pay no taxes.

HANNITY: Well, 40 percent pay no taxes. The bottom 50 percent pay 2.9 percent. The top 10 percent pay 70 percent. Those are the IRS numbers, most recent numbers. We almost have redistribution already. But under the Obama plan, as I understand it, the 40 percent that pay no taxes are going to get a check.

HANNITY: Is that welfare?

J. MCCAIN: Where does the money come from? It comes from a printing press, but eventually it comes from...

HANNITY: From people.

[]
J. MCCAIN: Yes. And then Barney Frank said we're going to find a lot of rich people out there to tax. Then he's going — they said they're going to cut defense and raise taxes.

Hannity is such a fraud and scum bag.

[hazlangeleyez]

It was after the rally was over you idiot. I was there, trust me, it was a full house. Check out the Fox News coverage.

I hope you are all happy with how this country looks if you win and Obama becomes President. I guess liberal socialism looks good to you. Is that why you're so familiar with the definition of a "Whack Job"?

He said the crowds were out there and they had a full house. But I don't really expect a glossy eyed dillusional to pay attention.

[howardthecoward07]

Mccain is a great american. 6 years in a tiger cage while fighting for the country, while Obama wont stay in Iraq for more than 2 days a visit. John Mccain has a son in Iraq right now. Its really quite pathetic what 300 million dollars will do to the media while Obama spends through the roof to promote himself.

[bakshay]

Yes! Vote for a Fraud and a "Whack Job" take America back to No Future!

A senior McCain advisor just called Palin a whack job..

[benhasglasses]
