Sean Hannity needs to clean his ears, or learn that he can’t get away with his lies… Here he is, discussing comments President Obama made about Insurance Co. executives:

HANNITY: One of the things, Frank, you have been very, very clear about — and I think our audience has learned a lot from you as we’ve done our dial groups and our focus groups, etc. — is this tendency to go negative. And he had a very different tone on Monday, but when he said tonight that insurance executives are bad people, it took me back because it was so harsh, and I think unfair, but it’s part of their polling. Let’s roll this tape, and I want to get your reaction to it.

What’s odd is that the clip that Hannity plays shows that he’s wrong. This is what Obama actually said:

OBAMA: Without competition, the price of insurance goes up and quality goes down. And it makes it easier for insurance companies to treat their customers badly by cherry-picking the healthiest individuals and trying to drop the sickest, by overcharging small businesses who have no leverage, and by jacking up rates. Insurance executives don’t do this because they’re bad people; they do it because it’s profitable.

Obviously, Obama is stating the opposite of what Hannity is claiming.

  1. And I await for him to correct himself and apologize for getting his facts dead wrong.

    I’ll probably be waiting a really long time.
