Hannity took a little time out from Obama-bashing to demonize the new enemy of American fascism, North Carolina singer-songwriter Ryan Adams. Apparently the think-skinned Hannity, who loves dishing it out, can't stand when the barrages are incoming. Wednesday Rolling Stone reported that Hannity took on his most comfortable role: dickhead in desperate search for ratings.
Last night, Ryan Adams found himself the involuntary topic of Fox News’ Hannity after he got into a Twitter spat with the show’s eponymous host, Sean Hannity.Hannity ended his tirade with a silly adolescent attack typical of him and of Fox: "He called me a 'terrorist'. If we wanted to torture terrorists, we could play his music, which isn’t that popular anyway, and a 24-hour-loop would drive them nuts... Come on the program, stop being a wimp, he’s hiding behind his rock star makeup like a little gutless little coward that he is."
After Hannity tweeted about the lack of role models in society, citing public figures like embattled politician Anthony Weiner and A-Rod, Adams replied, “Your entire soul is controlled by fear and hate. Evolve little chicken man. See reality.” (It’s unclear whether the tweet was in direct response to Hannity’s comment. The 140-character message in question has not, however, been deleted, despite reports that it had been yanked.)
When Hannity suggested that the singer-songwriter explain himself in person, Adams responded, “Thanks for inviting me on your show. If I wanted to be yelled at I would go see a Youth of Today reunion show.” Hannity taunted Adams to come on his show yet again, and Adams shot back, “I don’t negotiate with terrorists." Hannity seized the opportunity to flip the tables, arguing, “Who’s the little chicken man now? A terrorist? Typical liberal all name calling no substance.”
Not to be outdone, Hannity dedicated a segment of his show to Adams’ “liberal Twitter tirade,” even though “you probably don’t know him, he’s not that popular.” He hosted a roundtable that included Miss Oklahoma Anna-Marie Costello and Fox News contributor Tamara Holder... “I think you’re just insulted you don’t have a rock star on your program,” Holder pointed out, adding, “It’s not a big deal, Sean.”
Makes me love Ryan Adams even more...
