      I guess I'm missing the logic there, Sean.

      If you say A is relevant because of B, then shouldn't there be some sort of connection between the two?

        he may simply have been demonstrating the non-sequitur. If so, though, shouldn't he have explained that's what it was?

        No, and Hannity is incorrect, it's relevant because Liberals want to use High School actions to define a person. That's the logic being followed by intelligent non-liberals.

        Now that Romney's ugly bullying past is getting air time, this jerk will ramp up his "Obama's questionable" past. You can count on him pushing the Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, Chicago thug, terrorist crap.

        Hannity, makes a non violent person want to slap the smug off his face. "pasty a$$" ha! I hate the way he pinches his index fingers and thumbs together and thrust his prissy little hands at people. I guess it bugs me because he talks like such a tough guy, and he's such little sissy coward. The Nerf foot ball is so appropriate for him.

          All those Obama dead horses have been sorely beaten and only the true believers will be interested solely to have counterpoint in discussions. For the rest, it's boring. All the Romney stuff is new. Welcome to the new world of vetting your backers have wrought Governor.

            Watching Hannity beat those dead horses has been boring for four years. But he continues to do so every chance he gets. In his pea brain this "new stuff" on Romney is fodder for Hannity to beat all those Obama dead horses even harder. Hannity is clueless on how ineffective it is or how insignificant he is.

            It's fun to see how irked Hannity is that anyone found dirt on his Ken doll.

            Bet if they did some digging they could find bullying when he was in France doing his missionary work, as well. A bully is a bully.

              If a jerk thinks it's funny to walk his blind teacher into the wall, just for laughs. No telling what bullying tactics he used to get folks to join the LDS Church, while doing missionary work for them. Which is the sole purpose of the LDS missionary work.

              I'm going to pull a Hannity and beat that one about Romney walking his blind teacher into the wall, for a laugh, to death.

                  Ha! I had the misfortune of having to live in Utah for years and I found it odd that their Bishops, church members and so on, hate it when someone says "The Mormon Church" and will correct them with "We are LDS, it's the LDS Church." yet their "book" is the Book Of Mormon. Bizarre.

        Which works excellently, with people/droids who are GUARANTEED to just believe WhatEverTheHell you feel like shoveling into their left-open brains...

        With these folks (Hannity's chosen audience), not even mutually-contradictory statements are weeded out. Evidence: Jeebus drives out the money changers, says that a rich man CANNOT make it into heaven ... but the Fundamental Xians now say that it's a sin to tax a rich man, because ... well, because ... now, I'm SURE there must be a reason ...

        Oh yeah, because HANNITY says it is!

      Another thing: with Bush it was "This president stands resolute in his principles and remains steadfast in his beliefs"

      With Obama it's "This president clings for dear life to his rigid radical socialist agenda"

      I'm sorry, what? Trying drugs when he was young is relevant to his position on gay marraige how?

      It's certainly not as relevant as Romney's bullying of gay classmates in high school, which he wrote off as everyday youthful indiscretions.

      Hanniterd has the mentality of a poorly behaved child. It's easy to decipher. The Romney bullying story hit the public, so Hanniterd is frantic to dredge up something from Obama's past. In Hanniterd's simplistic mindset, he's compelled to throw gay marraige into the mix because it riles up his moronic listeners. Guess I have to give him credit for one thing. Hanniterd knows his audience.

      Sean, when you interview President Obama...

      ( okay, now I'm back from my 5-minute laughing spasm )

      ...ask him about his drug use - go ahead - I'll bet he tells you the truth (y'know, like in his book) and, unlike Mitt I-don't-remember-screwing-with-the-homosexual Romney, he won't suddenly develop selective amnesia.

      What? That doesn't really make much sense. What does drug use have to do with gay marriage? But you go ahead. Obama's youthful indiscretions are widely known and pretty much nobody seems to care.

      I hope no one is expecting Hannity to ever make sense.There is no relationship between the 2 issues but that has never made a difference to his small brain!Other Presidents experimented with drugs(i.e.Clinton,GW Bush) but none were forthcoming enough to write about it like Obama did.Now unless he threw someone down and held a joint to their mouth or put coke up their nose,it is not going to as big a character issue as Romney's assault and battery on his fellow student!

      I don't think it's nearly as obtuse as many commenters here say it must be.

      See, THEY are all thinking there is some sense to be found in Hannity's comment re gays = drugs. But that, you see, is giving Hannity credit he doesn't deserve: credit for having a BRAIN that actually works, and a system of LOGIC, employed to drive his mouth (nothing at all is wrong with his MOUTH).

      But there is no system of logic to this. Letting the implied "sense" go is, in this case, the key to understanding.

      Hannity has a dog whistle, you see. He keeps it on a chain around his neck, and when he gets close to a subject he knows will excite his base, he blows the whistle.

      That is what happened here. Some gays do drugs (duh), so Hannity and his droids think ALL gays do drugs and all druggies are either gay or child molesters or both; AND the prez has told us he's done drugs in the past.

      That's all it takes (PHWEET! -- blows the whistle).
