Hannity alleges that Jennings supports NAMBLA but barely offers any evidence to support the charge. No context for the quote from Jennings, no explanation of what it means to have "supported Harry Hay." Indefensible.

Biased news report about alleged ties between safe school czar Kevin Jennings and the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA).

This isn't even remotely journalistic. It is unabashedly a propaganda piece with an objective. Linking a speech that Jennings made in 1997 where he praised Hay for work in 1948, but failing to mention any of that is about creating news - not reporting it. This is a paid hit piece, period ... and Hannity - that's what he does for a living - paid TV hits. Lest, we forget about he shameful FOX-GOP stunt regarding Teri Schiavo and 100's of other vignettes produced via Fox News. I'm ... More »

I can't fault Sean Hannity as an entertainer - he does what he is told to do and earns very serious money doing it. He has done it for years - and ... More »

Hannity needs to put Kevin Jennings on the spot, directly. Otherwise, in spite of Harry Hay's odious attitude towards children, this another example of broadbrush journalism.

  • What's Obama gonna give me?

    (Video) Nothing better than free government money that we don't know where it came from. It's no longer "ask what you can do for your country," it's "what's Obama gonna give me?"
