Hannity: There's a goblin on the wing!

Let's start with Hannity's 2 minute version of the apocalypse. Rather than "O Fortuna", perhaps a better backing track would be Iron Maiden's "Run to the Hills".

War! Pestilence! Death!

(Unfortunately HuffPost doesn't allow embeds, so you have to click here to see the video)

Next, let's proceed to the segment he calls "Socialism You Can Believe In", where "the American way of life is being hijacked".

But the best part: After eight years of the largest government expansion in American history, Sean Hannity complained last night that the recovery bill is (say it with me)..."the largest government expansion in American history".

Here's part of the great Bob Cesca's HuffPost piece "Sean Hannity's Ridiculous War Against Socialism".

When I watched the video of Sean Hannity's Tuesday night show, I was half expecting him to leap out of his chair, grab his producer by the lapels and scream something about a goblin on the wing of the airplane -- all puffy and bloodshot -- hair mussed, tie undone -- spittle and sweat flying all around.

I'm calling upon Sean Hannity to use his prime time television program as a platform to rally Republican politicians, cable news hacks and citizens alike to refuse delivery of not just recovery bill spending, but all so-called "socialist" government programs. Send it all back. End American socialism now! All of it.

Refuse to send your kids to socialized public schools and universities; refuse to use socialized roads and highways; refuse to call upon socialized police and fire departments; shut down the socialized air traffic control; refuse to visit socialized national parks; tell grandma that her Social Security and Medicare will have to be sent back to the government; demand the immediate dismantling of our socialized American military. Sarah Palin and her supporters in Alaska should refuse all forms of "redistributed wealth" by sending back their checks from the socialized oil program there.

Send it all back. I'm sure the entire roster of Neo-McCarthyite pundits enumerated above -- Limbaugh, Scarborough, Hannity and the like -- have already forgone their usage of these socialist services so we can assume they've figured out a ways to get by. How hard can it be really? I mean, who needs roads when there are hot-air balloons and jet packs. Socialist fire departments? A house fire will eventually burn itself out, won't it? As for the pre-socialist 50-percent poverty rate for the elderly? If we can put a man on the Moon (also a socialist program), we can invent some bootstraps that'll fit over grandma's therapeutic stockings.
