Hannity denies Hal Turner friendship; Turner says otherwise

I'm pretty sure Hal Turner - a former GOP congressional candidate in New Jersey and right-wing talk radio fixture - got a Conservative Fool Of The Day entry when he threatened to assassinate members of Congress who didn't vote his way. Turner has been pretty much disgraced thanks to his own displays of racism and other asshattery.

Sean Hannity - another disgraced right-wing clod - denied just the other night on Fox News Channel that he even knows Turner. But now Turner says he's been a friend of Hannity for years.

So obviously one of these conservative fartpipes is lying. A writer on Daily Kos speculates that it's Hannity, which wouldn't surprise me. Hannity is dishonest enough to collude with Ollie North in his phony charity scam that rips off military families. And he's bigoted enough to think Mark Fuhrman should be viewed as a credible source on law enforcement matters. Then again, Hal Turner lying wouldn't be a surprise either - because lie is what right-wing goofs do best.

Turner's a complete nutter, as his support of congressional assassinations shows. But he said on his website, "I was quite disappointed when Sean Hannity at first tried to say he didn't know me and then went on to say that I ran some senate campaign in New Jersey. In fact, Sean Hannity does know me and we were quite friendly a number of years ago." Turner says Hannity even gave him a secret phone number for WABC radio so his calls to his talk show would always get through.

I can believe that. When Turner called Hannity's show and made statements that were truly vile and racist, Hannity agreed with these remarks wholeheartedly.

Turner's atrocious Internet missive claims Hannity does indeed share his bigoted views. But Turner goes on to say that the real difference between himself and Hannity is "that I am perfectly willing to use force and violence against my enemies while Sean Hannity and others are not."

You're a loon, Hal.

Hal Turner's claims to be "the voice of the common man" thump false. Anyone who sees his mess of a website can see he's a demagogue and a charlatan. I've worked hard my whole adult life, and Turner doesn't speak for this common man.
