The Democratic Fascist Somebody please tell me that this is some kind of really awful joke: "Quite simply, the Democratic Fascist Movement is a well-organized, rapidly growing group of people, inspired by the work of our Visionary Mr. Sean Hannity, who affirm the necessity for Moral Unity in our Nation today. While we do not reject the Democratic Process, we also recognize the need for bringing conclusion to the mob rule which has characterized our Government of late. It is our belief that, through more stringent voting regulations, power must be placed back into the hands of the Moral Elite if this Great Nation can endure." More inside...

I don't follow the national media closely, but apparently this Sean Hannity person is for real? I did a whois, and the site is registered to a Michael Haddad out of Kalamazoo, MI, but I didnt get much farther than that. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Geez, isn't Sean Hannity himself enough of a joke as it is?

As a member of the Moral Elite, I heartily endorse this initiative. Damn rabble.

Poor Sean! listen to his show and note how he intrujdes on any speaker, yells, because he has God on his side and his upbringing--alas, a bit spoled of late since scandals of the Church revealed. He is a thug and believes all others are wrong. anyone one disagreeing is a "liberal" and that is sufficient condemnation for him. In short: asshole

Can anyone shed any light on this? Sure. It's called a smear tactic. Label your political adversary as a fascist and attempt to trick people. Nothing really new about it, except perhaps the medium.

Hmmmm, sounds like "compassionate conservatism" to me....

Sean plays a "conservative" commentator on Fox's "Hannity and Combs", he used to be here in Atlanta. He's a Catholic Limbaugh clone, best to ignore him.

Why is that guy Combs even on the show? Whenever I happen to catch the show (at my Dad's house, where he tuned the TV to Fox and then ripped off the channel knob) he just plays the patsy. Combs dominates him like he's a little bitch. I guess they simply put him there so they can show "what a balanced viewpoint they have" but without really supplying that at all.

Label your political adversary as a fascist and attempt to trick people. Nothing really new about it The irony is that this tactic panders to the very people who he would deny a vote.

We still haven't established: Is this site a parody, or what? If it's for real, I can't believe that the conservative movement has allowed anyone so palpably moronic to represent them in the media. Say what you want about Limbaugh, but he's a canny showman who can think on his feet and express ideas with verbal energy. This guy's ideas (if they are accurately represented on this Democratic Fascist web site) are like somebody's cranky uncle (and me sometimes) who thinks that just saying that something sucks constitutes a valid argument against it -- which is okay if your nobody (like me), but should not win you a national media forum. I'm thinking this site is a parody.

I think so, too. But, I'd like somebody to let me know for sure.

Um, look at the links page? It's a no brainer.

plaino the very people who he would deny a vote. Who does Hannity want to deny a vote to?

It's called satire. Heavy-handed, smug and unfunny but nonetheless satire. As y2karl points out, the links page has "John Ashcroft sings" on it.

If you can't figure out whether or not this site is real, then I pity you.

And if you have any further doubts about whether or not it's satire, check out the lovely music that accompanies the "Hannity" page--that's Deutschland Uber Alles, folks. (Okay, I know it's from the Haydn string quartet, but that's the melody, nicht wahr?)
