Hannity calls out Michelle Malkin for not praising GOP candidates enough

michelle is STILL hot!

Sean is absolutely right. And it’s not an issue of endorsement, that is a red herring.

Michelle has had little if anything positive to say about any of the candidates, but she has regularly been quickly front-and-center with strong criticism. (For example, within only minutes of Perry announcing his candidacy she starting hammering him relentlessly on the Gardasil and in-state tuition for illegals issues. She pronounced him not a conservative and strongly warned against perceiving him as one. Perry was one of the most conservative candidates in the race in my opinion, but by listening to Michelle you’d have to conclude he was a real RINO.)

I have noticed this behavior for some time now and I’m less and less likely to read/listen to her analysis. I’ve been starting to think she is a critic-from-the-right first and foremost above all else, no matter how far right off the cliff she needs to position herself in order to attack from the right. It has increasingly appeared to me that she is more into the critic business than the supporting conservatives business.

I’m disappointed because I’ve always looked forward to her analyses. I hope she returns to focusing on her brilliant critiques of moderates and liberals, and actually puts some effort into getting the more conservative candidates elected instead of increasingly emphasizing their flaws, no matter how small.

What the hell is up with that football? Why does he even bring it out?

I don’t get it. Is he going to run a slant pattern with the cameramen during the commercial?

Oh, Michelle’s right—all the candidates suck. And hannity’s right not to pull a coulter. You start shoving your nose up Flip Rominee’s tuchus and people aren’t going to forget that you called them dumb.

“If Rubio is criticizing you, you’re probably doing something wrong”

Rubio and Bushies are all in tank for Romney.

Rubio=Jeb=Mitt

Good points indeed, I thought the same thing when I went to Drudge today. I expected better of him but I am just one man. I just don’t understand the attacking of our own candidates but we are told its part of the process. The Democrats don’t go after each other in this way, so why do we have to? Disgraceful I agree.

Fox is CRAZY not to have hired Malkin for her own show ages ago. Not only is she smarter, tougher, and better educated than the the majority of their bubblehead blondes, she’s also miles hotter — always a consideration for “Fox” News.

New FACT CHECK. Take a look! http://www.politifact.com/florida/statements/2012/jan/24/mitt-romney/mitt-romney-says-newt-gingrichs-contract-was-fredd/

“Honest About Their Warts” What a great analogy, funny too. It was a good exchange. I disagreed with her about Perry but she is consistent on issues she believes in and disagrees with any candidate/politician – that is a good thing. Big difference from the Ann Coulter flip-flop, agree with me or you don’t know anything attitude. Hannity has been playing neutral/positive all along. In the end, we can think for ourselves.

These two have nothing but a straw man against Mr Paul. They parrot the foreign policy misinformation, but they can’t admit the obvious when it comes to a genuine record of defending the constitution, regardless of how popular it is. These two are part of the problem.

I love that new site smell.

Nice look!

Hannity has a sort of point. Mainly in that Malkin has been pretty rough on every single candidate and potential candidate. She wasn’t even all that supportive of a potential Palin candidacy.

But I’d rather people step back and actually look at the things the candidates and their supporters are really doing here. When you are buying a diamond, you don’t just reach into the 1/4 carat barrel and randomly select one, even if they are freaking diamonds. You want to compare them under magnification and get the best one you can.

Even so, a random 1/4 carat diamond is going to be worth more than most any hunk of quartz.

The Republican candidates are like a barrel full of diamonds. The Democrat candidates are like milky quartz (with no vein of gold nearby).

We’re trying to get the absolute best candidate possible because that’s what we want.

Obama has to run against Obama.

That picture of Reagan glaring at Newt said it all. Smart ass young turk thinking he knew more than the old man. We have the quotes, folks. Newt bashed Reagan and his administration repeatedly, both on the House floor and in other public venues. Bash Abrams all you want, but you cannot deny the facts.

“TARGET”? Whoa!

Homeland security is on it’s way over to set your mind right scoop.

Hannity trying to chastise Malkin.
Its the end times.

Malkin is correct. in 2008, Conservatives were attacked in this manner and told that they HAD to accept McRINO. Some of us have not forgotten what happened in 2008.

I kind of agree with Hannity on this one. I have found no positives lately on Malkin’s website. It’s all just complain, complain, complain about every one of the candidates. That’s all well and good… to a point. It’s like listening to Ann Coulter. One hit piece after another on all of the candidates but Romney. She has lost her focus and her ability to convince anyone of her views now. Malkin’s constant complaining about the GOP field leaves me no reason to hear her thoughts on it anymore. If there is nothing positive, I start tuning out.

Much to the delight of the lefty media, the DNC and the Obama reelection campaign, everyone on the right seems to be fighting amongst themselves and Hannity vs Malkin is more proof. Romney’s attacks on Gingrich and Gingrich’s attacks on Romney all give the left plenty of ammo for the big battle in November.

Our focus needs to be on the failed policies of the socialist now holding the office and who is better able to (a) defeat him in November (otherwise there is no (b)) and (b) Lead the country and Congress toward repeal and reversal of those destructive policies, resulting in (c) Renewed growth, jobs, smaller government and hope for the future of this great country.

Now let’s stop feeding on each other and get this done!

Hannity is annoying! Can’t stand him.

Hate Shawn’s approach to his question. First he praises her then comes the but/however thing he does not agree with. That is typical liberal crap and Shawn should not be using the approach. Be the man and just say what you disagree with and quit the ass kissing.

My question for Shawn is why the hurry to back or endorse? Total and honest vetting is needed so we do not end up with the another President Gump like we have now.

There’s a big difference between endorsing a candidate and going out of your way to trash them. In one respect, it’s actually more honest to get your endorsement out there so that when you do trash another candidate we all know the motives behind why you’re trashing them. Ann Coulter has gone off the deep end but at least she doesn’t try to hide behind the whole “they need to be vetted” crap that Malkin spewed here. She sounded like Sarah Palin there for a minute, which I’m sure she didn’t mean to since she’s never lifted a finger to defend Palin in any meaningful way.

Michelle Malkin is basically a critic. It’s what she does. It’s a lot easier to criticize than it is to praise and in all the years I’ve been reading Malkin I don’t remember her ever really supporting anyone. She threw Ann Coulter under the bus after one of her controversial CPAC speeches. She threw Robert Spencer under the bus when he was doing his Blogging The Koran series at Hot Air. And look what’s happened to Hot Air? It was very conservative when she first started it. Look at it now. It’s Beta Male Dickless Wonder central. I hope she made a lot when she sold it.

Would not it had been nice if obama was vetted like these candidates. I have to hand some credit to Hannity. He banged the drum on ayres, wright and all of the evil associations that the false messiah had in his past. I have a hunch that we will get behind whoever because if you truly love what our country stands for, she can not take 4 more years of this pied piper of lost souls.

So Malkin isn’t in the tank for anyone and she gets highly criticized by Hannity for scrutinizing all of the candidates. Coulter is wearing knee pads and carrying a spit bucket for Romney and Hannity is charming and respectful to her. This is the second interview of recent that I’ve seen Hannity seemingly invite her on to discuss one subject and then change it to Malkin’s criticism of the candidates. He is completely uninterested in what she has to say, cuts her off at every opportunity and uses his show to lecture her. It is one thing to disagree on something and it is another to mislead and disrespect someone because of it.

What other mechanism do you have to keep these knuckleheads running for President from veering to the mushy moderate go along to get along? If it is bad to be critical of them to keep them in line, you might as well go with Huntsman or back to McCain.

it’s fairly rich to see sean bitch. sure he’s correct about his gripe with malkin. malkin is like ron paul. all ideology no effectiveness( except for enriching herself which is what is all about with political blowhards on both sides)sean ,rush etal love to set out these intraparty squabbles because it’s bad for biz. their timidity is why we end up with a nominee like romney. he will lose and badly. he is a horrible fit for this election. it’s not hard to figure out. 2008 we nominate a war hero when the country is tired of war. now we’re going to nominate a venture capitalist when inequality is at the forefront.rightly or wrongly america has never elected a man solely on the basis of being rich. if theywould perot would have won considering in everyway he is the superior to mitt. at least perot could talk national defense. i live in MA western MA which is somewhat conservative and mitt was a disaster. weapons cost a lot more to own (great to pay for constitutional right) he didn’t raise taxes ( fees went up 700 million but that’s ok politically) and we get this great romneycare which sucks now ,just wait when the federal subsidies stop.sean and rush see how much of cow coulter has made of herself and wat to avoid same. coulter after romney gets butchered will use the obama excuse that it would have been worse with someone else. it’s all BS . and the sooner conservatives see through this crap the sooner we might right this ship. just remember all the brave souls that sat this out or even worse backed romney when the calls the race the night before election day. at least we can go to be early bed on election night. this just like our national debt . we are so screwed and we don’t even know but we will

I think Michelle Malkin is articulate, intelligent and principled as well as being very attractive. It’s great to see someone able to answer questions without constant “uhs” or needing a teleprompter like our current President. I also think Hannity makes some very good points. On the one hand, I want the media to critique the GOP field, and as Republicans, it’s imperative that we have our candidates go through the vetting process because we know the Dems are going to be far more brutal, so whoever our nominee is, he needs to be able to deal with it. That being said, Sean makes a very good point that eventually we are going to have to support our guy against Obama – even if that means holding our nose when we vote.

I didn’t see this as a Hannity attack, I saw this as two conservatives having a respectful disagreement and both articulating their POVs. It’s nice to see adults do this, vs. the usual liberal personal attacks and overemotional diatribes when someone disagrees with them.

As creative as Obama and Democrats are do you think they’re really dependent on what our candidates are saying about each other. This is a false premise and I’m really kinda sick of hearing about it. Now is not the time for kindness to an opponent in the race for nominee. After the nomination is a different story. Then is the time to come together and support our guy and just in case no one knows who my guy is….it’s Newt/2012.

anyone who goes about praising Bob Beckel, Juan Williams as fair mined people. I don’t listen to him are many on Fox for a true conservative thinking. They all run in the same crowd. Just watch (if you can stand it the 5pm crowd

Endorsing Santorium only ensure Mitt’s nomination because conservatives are divided. Mitt will lose to Obama.
It is clearly she want Obama relected.
The reason is simple, with Obma in office, she has more talking points and sell more books. She does not care for the future of conservatism or the country.
