Sean Hannity Forum Bans Ron Paul

E-mail

Tuesday, 06 November 2007

Sean Hannity's forum moderators don't like the fact that discussion supporting Ron Paul spontaneously erupted at their political website. Now, these contributors were not first time posters, many of them had thousands of posts and titles that would assume a respected member of the community.

Ron Paul Discussion BANNED!

What exactly is the message here Mr. Hannity? Ron Paul can be discussed when his supporters calm down and, stop supporting him? A lot of conservatives are starting to see through the party blinders and demand a real return to constitutional liberty, truth in politics, and a skeptical approach to government power.

Since when do "influential conservatives' stifle discussion of fiscal restraint, elimination of the income tax, and a return to free market economies?

I suspect its when "influential conservatives" start working for companies who rely in large part on questionable government contracts and favorable legislation. Immigration? Social Security? Plummeting dollar?

The louder we discuss these topics, the harder the established media pushes back. This tells me we must be doing something right.

User Wonders Where his Thread Went

Well Mr. Hannity's website is his private property and he has every right to do what he likes with it. Of course. I've built my own website for that same purpose - so I can write what I like and expose any other's biases as I choose. Media is a powerful tool for shaping public opinion and personal website building is turning the tide on the established outlets.

If you do not belive in freespeech for even your most hated of enemys, then you do not truly belive in it at all.

Ron Paul all day. This man puts his life on the line and Sean Hannity puts his soul... you should still believe Dr. Paul.

Of course, Hannity is a big believer in Free Speech. ..err..

The obvious thing to do here is flood Hannity's forum with Ron Paul threads.

Flood a bloated, washed up, self proclaimed libertarians blog with Ron Paul posts? Thats nonsence. Use your time and energy more effectivly to see that Ron Paul makes it to the white house. Sean Hannity will sink into the background again once the 2008 election is over for another 4 years. Ask yourself, what would Ron Paul do?

underground - That will just encourage them

| Unregistered | 2007-11-07 12:30:09

That will just encourage them to reach the conclusion that Ron Paul's supporters are all spammers. Nah, I would say just to be aware of what the talking heads in the corporate media are working toward. Here's a hint: its NOT free discussion.

All the more reason to just ignore them until they lose all influence...The best ideas I've heard are to boycott his sponsors or try to get a call-in on his radio show to ask him questions & expose his bias.

This is the BEST aphorism or abbreviational meme I've seen all day. RP supporters should think of it as it is good to represent him well.

J-dub - You would think

| Unregistered | 2007-11-07 13:58:10

You would think that hannity would love this because you have to pay to 5.95 a month just to post on his website. But yeah, I suggest to get back at em by canceling your accounts because your free speech was stifled. It would be different if they banned an open forum that you didn't have to pay to comment on.

Banning dissenters is the logical thing to do when outnumbered and outwitted. It's a hell of a lot easier than justifying the $2.4 trillion "conservative" empire.

Hannity is irrelevant. I didn't even know he had a forum until now.

Ron Paul is a gen x invention. He's the Wizard in the Wizard of Oz. Take away the bloggers and he's a 20 year unknown congressman from Texas. I live in Texas and no one outside his district even hear of Dr.Paul until recently.

Boycott is moran Hannity, he tries to cover up the truth and keep America under the media stupid ignorant influence. Demand the truth in news and ignore the lies and producers of lies. Stop paying money for TV that lies to you. Exercise your dollar!

If just 2 million non-voters were to send Ron Paul $20, he’d have $40 million to do battle with the rest, and get the Medias attention. I think he's the ONLY one with a message to blow the Witch of Washington out of the air, and off her broomstick! Which he would do, if and when he ever gets a chance to debate her!

Forum Member - In slight defense

| Unregistered | 2007-11-08 06:54:29

The forum was being flooded and spammed for a while by Paul supporters. Many thread were really kind of pointless and unnecessary.Sadly the trend to now is to assume any Paul supporters are spamming troll on the forum b/c of prior actions, which is grossly unfair to those that just wish to participate in forum and discuss Ron Paul. If my make a suggestion those wishing to re-flood the forums with silly Paul threads, please don't. All that will happen is the Mods will shut down all discussion about Ron Paul on the forum and your message will lost on potential supporters. Just my two cents.

Cheers.

Isn't that the way most candidates start out? Who was Gilluani before 9/11? He was a liberal in disguise shrouded in scandal and affaris. It's just pure happen stance that he is in the position where he is now. If anyone has profited from 9/11, he has.

Technically, you could say that this is Sean Hannity excercising his freedom of speach since it is "his" forum. Not saying it is right or that I agree with is decision, but it is his property and he has every right to do it.

Go Ron Paul!!

Hannity is so bent out of shape whenever he hears the name Ron Paul, that I am surprised he hasnt killed himself yet! I cannot believe he is so anti-Paul, it just dont make any sense when I always thought Hannity was one of the more intelligent guys in the political news arena.

John Foster - Republicans have lost their wa

| Unregistered | 2007-11-10 09:09:14

Republicans have a golden opportunity to support a candidate who is for small government, low taxes, free trade, and no entangling alliances. But because they support war in Iraq, despite Bush getting elected on a no nation building platform, they are instead supporting anti second amendment, pro abortion, pro interventionist Giuliani.

I'm a lifelong Republican. I will vote for Ron Paul and will not vote for Giuliani even if he gets the nomination. I am not alone.

Well... what he did isn't relevant to his right to free speech. He might have the right to do what he did ('course that depends on the contract he made with his forum contributors), but let's assume he did. He can express the view that Ron Paul supporters are crazy, spammers, or whatever else he can come up with, without restricting a forum for free speech for others. Even if those other people don't legally deserve free speech on his website, it's a clear statement on his part that he soesn't support free speech.

Sean Heanity,
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams 1776

There's no reason, other than revenge, to flood Hannity's site with Ron Paul posts or posts about how he is apparently a very poor example of a conservative who believes in freedom.

It's Hannity's site and he has a right to run it the way he wants to run it. I think Ron Paul would agree with that.

As well, Hannity has already made it abundantly clear that he does not support free speech and is simply biased toward his own interest, by the simple act of shutting down Ron Paul posts for all to see. No other attention on his site is needed.

If you want to call more attention to this and do it in a way that relates to freedom, I recommend doing it elsewhere and not on Hannity's own site.

I used to like Hannity until he started smearing and ignoring Ron Paul. Now I think he's a sick evil twisted hyporcrite railing about media bias while being even worse than the ones he talks about.

R. Phelps - My threads and posts were also

| | 2008-04-10 02:11:46

I don't know what's going on over on Hannity's forums. I also had two threads deleted "Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Barack Hussein Obama' and one titled "Why do blacks back black candidates no matter their reputation or honesty?". There was no profanity involved and nothing to denote deletion and I was also banned from the forums.

Hannity extolls free speech on his tv show yet moderators on his forums squelch free speech coming and going with deletions of posts and threads and banishment of members. There's one moderator named goodlife that should be relieved of her moderator duties, as well as someone named Lee.

I emailed Hannity about what's going on over there, but I have yet to receive a reply. If his moderators don't agree with a post or a thread, they simply delete it.

R. Phelps - I haven't watched Hannity

| | 2008-04-11 10:25:24

My threads and posts were deleted on his forums. He speaks out of one side of his mouth concerning free speech but allows his liberal moderators to delete posts and threads they don't agree with. I have watched MY LAST Hannity and Colmes show and I have been a fan for years ..... NO MORE. He's showed me what he's REALLY made of and it's entertainment, not conviction of his principles.

its a fake site - its not sean hannity - look at the copyright, its abc radio networks - the point of the site is to trick people into thinking its a real forum so that the obama supporters can sensor what you have to say.
