Cliven Bundy has gone too far for even Sean Hannity

Man, you KNOW you’re an extremist when even Sean Hannity denounces you.

Jon Stewart of The Daily Show will be having a field day with this tonight.

And Hannity isn’t the only one backing away from Bundy now that he’s revealed who he truly is.

Senator Rand Paul, (KY-R) and Senator Dean Heller (NV-R) had originally expressed support for Bundy ripping off the American people by not paying his grazing fees for 20 years. But now?

A spokesman for Sen. Paul, informed of Mr. Bundy’s remarks, said the senator was not available for immediate comment.

Chandler Smith, a spokesman for Mr. Heller, said that the senator “completely disagrees with Mr. Bundy’s appalling and racist statements, and condemns them in the most strenuous way.”

That’s show biz folks. One day you’re up; next day, you’re racist standing on your own stage holding daily press conferences to just your 12 supporters.

Jon Stewart takes down Sean Hannity on Cliven Bundy support

The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart addressed Fox News host Sean Hannity’s hypocrisy for taking up the banner of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his supporters.

Bundy was locked in a standoff with the Bureau of Land Management earlier this month over unpaid grazing fees. Hannity gave Bundy a platform to explain his side of the dispute, and strongly implied last week that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and the federal government were planning to raid Bundy’s ranch. No raid has since taken place.

“The law isn’t on Bundy’s side, the court isn’t on Bundy’s side, even the Nevada state constitution, which Bundy claims to abide, isn’t on Bundy’s side. Who the hell is on this guy’s side?” Stewart wondered. “Hannity. I still don’t get it.”

Stewart goes on to point out that Hannity went berserk over a California surfer who admitted to “scamming the American people” by taking food stamps and buying lobster.

So, Hannity picks and chooses which laws he wants to see defended and which he does not….?

Major broadcast company planning to drop Hannity and Limbaugh

In a major shakeup for the radio industry, Cumulus Media, the second-biggest broadcaster in the country, is planning to drop both Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from its stations at the end of the year, an industry source told POLITICO on Sunday.

Cumulus has decided that it will not renew its contracts with either host, the source said, a move that would remove the two most highly rated conservative talk personalities from more than 40 Cumulus channels in major markets.
