So yeah, Christopher Hitchens is my new hero.
I remember watching the first clip with family when it was on TV, and they pretty much cheered Hannity on.
"Yeah Sean you nailed him"
Hannity is so full of sh*t, he pulls all of these dramatics because his fanbase loves it, but he's made it clear to me that the southern, christian neo-con definition of "nailing" somebody in an argument basically translates to being more loud and obnoxious than whoever you're arguing against, regardless of how much smarter the other person is.
This is how arguments are "won" at FoxNews. In fact, it's pretty clear that all of these pundits are hired strictly for their ability to be loud, obnoxious douchebags, they're neither required or expected to even know anything by the people that employ them, that would be boring, and that's why FoxNews has so many idiots on it's payroll, they may know nothing about politics but at least they know all the secrets to turning what should be a civil argument into a verbal wrestling match.
FoxNews is the WWF of news journalism.
