>>> and in "psycho talk" tonight, sean hannity takes intellectual dishonesty to a new level. the unemployment rate has been going down. private sector job growth has been in positive territory for 21 months. hannity willfully ignores all of it. on his radio show he ripped into democrats who have been accurately talking about the declining unemployment rate .

>> this is what happens when people who worship at the altar of any political ideology have to face reality. they don't adjust to the reality. they simply deny it. i mean, i've talked about obama-mania. this is it. the facts, every fact shows you something contrary to what you're saying, but you're so locked into your ideology, you'll on television and repeat it as though somehow it's true. hoping that some percentage of the american people will buy into your lie and fairytale.

>> sounds like hannity is a little mixed up. i think he's confusing democrats with someone else who worships at the altar of political ideology .

>> they don't adjust to the reality, they simply deny it.

>> give credit to bush. if obama had his way, we wouldn't have gotten bin laden . you know that.

>> the killing of bin laden , in fairness, that would have never happened but for president bush .

>> you'll ignore the truth and go on television and repeat it as though somehow it's true.

>> he's been president nearly two years, got everything he wanted passed and it's failed. $1 trillion in a stimulus that failed.

>> the stimulus did not fail. we would be in double-digit --

>> the disastrous failure of his own administration's stimulus.

>> hoping some percentage of the american people will buy into your lie and fairytale.

>> people who watch fox news on a daily basis are 31% more likely than non-fox viewers so think president obama was not born in america. sean hannity is the king of pushing his ideology, no matter how wrong he is. so for him to say democrats are the ones telling lies on television is unbalanced "psycho talk."
