Sean Patrick Hannity (born December 30, 1961) is a limp-wristed, queer-as-a-cat-fart wingnut talk show host. The youngest of four children, Hannity was born in New York City to Irish immigrants. He dropped out of college to embark on radio career, and in 1988 was at a small-town station of WVNN in Huntsville, Alabama. He later broke into a Top 10 market in Atlanta at 640 AM WGST. His national recognition came as an occasional substitute host of the #1 radio show of all-time - The Rush Limbaugh Show. Allegedly on his first guest show, he dropped the golden EIB microphone because of a case of high nerves. This nationwide attention paved his way to national syndication.

==Television==
Sean Hannity was asked to join the newly formed FAUX News Channel (FNC) in September 1996<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,1242,00.html</ref>.
He accepted the offer and became co-host with Alan Colmes of ''Hannity and Colmes,'' a prime time one-hour debate driven talk show focusing on the controversial issues and newsmakers of the day. <ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,1242,00.html</ref> Today ''Hannity and Colmes'' ranks among the leading cable TV news show (just behind ''Larry King Live'' and the ''O'Reilly Fascist''). Critics contend that the openly gay Hannity is given more time to talk than the relatively sane Colmes.

==Controversy==

Hannity angered traditional Catholics with his doggy-style treatment of Father Thomas Euteneuer on March 9th, during which Hannity salad-tossed Fr. Euteneuer for prominent sex scandals in the Catholic Church.<ref>http://thebadguy.wordpress.com/2007/03/15/video-of-the-hannity-euteneuer-squabble</ref> After heated remarks by Hannity during the interview, he finally asked the priest, "Wait, would you deny me Communion?" To which Fr. Euteneuer responded, "I would."<ref>http://www.renewamerica.us/columns/abbott/070320</ref>

==Books==

Hannity's books use patriotic rhetoric as a main theme. His first book, in 2002, was entitled ''"Let Freedom Ring: Winning the War of Liberty over Liberalism"''. The book remained on the New York Times best selling list for 17 weeks.<ref>http://www.harpercollins.com/authors/24930/Sean_Hannity/index.aspx</ref>
In 2004 he wrote ''Deliver Us from Evil: Defeating Terrorism, Despotism, and Liberalism''. In this book he "reveals how the disgraceful history of appeasement has reached forward from the days of Neville Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter to corrupt the unrepentant leftists of the modern Democratic Party from Howard Dean and John Kerry to Bill and Hillary Clinton. <ref>http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780060514556/Let_Freedom_Ring/index.aspx</ref>

'''Bill O'Reilly''' is a popular closeted gay commentator and host of the show ''The O'Reilly Factor'' on the [[Fox News Channel]], which he calls the "No Spin Zone." His interviewing style is aggressive, and he never lets guests spin the facts. O'Reilly often remarks that his personal political viewpoint is not captured by the modern [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] and [[Republican Party|Republican]] archetypes and would rather call himself a "traditionalist." In this vein, he has expressed support for some positions not traditionally associated with his political supporters including anthropogenic climate change and civil unions for both heterosexual and homosexual couples. The hosts who fill in for him when he is not hosting, however, are all standard conservative Republicans, such as [[John Kasich]]. ([[Tony Snow]] also had filled in a few times prior to becoming White House Press Secretary).

On March 28th, 2007, O'Reilly announced via in-house memo that he would be filming the rest of his show from a secret location due to numerous death threats directed at FOX News Headquarters in New York, NY. A spokesman for FOX News called the threats "ridiculous hyperliberal propaganda" and assured the "hoax" would be "punished" to the "fullest extent of the law." The spokesman had no comment on rumors to the effect that O'Reilly would henceforth film his show from the same undisclosed location used by [[Dick Cheney]].

His show is the highest rated cable "news" program in the world.

'''Rush Limbaugh''' (born January 12, 1951) is a [[conservative]] [[United States of America|American]] radio talk show host.
[[Image:Limbaugh.jpg|thumb|right|Rush Limbaugh]]

Limbaugh hosts a radio show famed for its blustery denounciations of anything [[liberal]]. He is often at odds with [[liberal]] activist [[Al Franken]]<ref>[http://fireside.designcommunity.com/topic-9993.html Forum thread] discussing a NYT Editorial</ref>. He habitually refers to [[feminists]] as ''feminazis'' and to his own self as "talent on loan from God".

Limbaugh's style has been credited with "reviving AM radio in the United States, and is considered by many to have been a catalyst for the [[Republican Party]]'s 1994 Congressional victories"<ref>[http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10813FA3B5D0C708EDDAB0894DE494D81&n=Top%2fReference%2fTimes%20Topics%2fPeople%2fL%2fLimbaugh%2c%20Rush Radio Talk Show Host Fears For True Conservatism's Fate], New York Times</ref>.
Rush's conservative talk show is nationally syndicated and averages over 13.5 million listeners weekly, making Rush the '#1 Radio Talk Show Host'.<ref>

The Limbaugh Letter is a monthly publication that contains conservative articles and humor in Rush's style.

Rush has displayed his ability for biting conservative satire on the 1/2 Hour News Hour "comedy" show on the [[Fox News Channel]]. <ref>

In 2006, Limbaugh was detained for more than three hours at the airport after returning in his private jet from a child sex tour in the Dominican Republic. Customs officials found the Viagra in his luggage but his name was not on the prescription, said Paul Miller, a spokesman for the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.

In 2007, Mark R. Levin of the Landmark Legal Foundation issued a press release giving the text of a letter from the Foundation to the Chairman of the Nobel Institute. The letter "submits the name of Rush Limbaugh as an unsolicited nomination for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize" for his "tireless efforts to promote liberty, equality and opportunity for all mankind, regardless of race, creed, economic stratum or national origin."<ref>[http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/02-01-2007/0004518421&EDATE Landmark Legal Foundation Nominates Rush Limbaugh for 2007 Nobel Peace Prize"</ref>. Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is by invitation only, and the names of the nominees and their nominations are kept secret for fifty years.<ref>[http://nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/ Nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize], Nobel Foundation. The position of the Nobel Foundation, with regard to all [http://nobelprize.org/nomination/nomination_facts.html rumored nominations], is "Well, either it's just a rumour, or someone among the invited nominators has leaked information. Since the nominations are kept secret for 50 years, you'll have to wait until then to find out."</ref>
