Facts Have A Liberal Bias

POWERS: I think [Weiner is] making a great point, which is, why are we spending our time on this, this is ridiculous.

HANNITY: Because we can’t afford it.

POWERS: Because that is — no —

HANNITY: And they’re hyper-political.

POWERS: This has nothing to do with the budget. This is completely ideological.

HANNITY: It does so have to do with the budget.

POWERS: It is a tiny, tiny little thing. And if they’re spending their time on this —

HANNITY: You know what? Then if it’s a tiny thing, let them go public. Let them make their money off Sesame Street and let’s cut somewhere, because we’re not going to have any money left, and the country’s headed down the tubes.

POWERS: Why don’t we cut funding for Afghanistan and bring everybody home? There’s some real money.

HANNITY: Because that’s called security, liberty, freedom, and we have al-Qaeda, Islamic radicals —

POWERS: And we’re losing, and Al-qaeda is not there anymore, and they’re in Pakistan.

HANNITY: Uh, excuse me. They’re — they’re everywhere.

POWERS: The point is, you know, why are you able to say, oh, let’s spend money on Afghanistan, but I can’t —

HANNITY: You don’t want to cut NPR?

POWERS: No, I don’t want to cut NPR. I think NPR is great —

HANNITY: So how much money do you — are you willing to cut?

POWERS: My taxpayer money has been paying for two wars that I don’t support.

HANNITY: It’s called freedom.

POWERS: Okay, it’s not called freedom. It has nothing to do with our freedom. And it’s been paying for that. And if I want to have NPR paid for, can I just have that tiny little, tiny little bit of money.

HANNITY: I’ll tell you what — all you and your liberal friends can raise all the money and go out on the street and say, donate to NPR and Big Bird, and they’ll donate to you. [Hannity, Fox News, 3/17/11]

Freedom. Duh. That’s why we’re at war. Al-Qaeda is everywhere. They’re under your bed. But if you hide underneath the covers for long enough, you can be free.
