    Ben Carson sure does put on a minstrel show that old white folks find pleasing.

    I think it's his toothy smile.

    Well, it was considered that by some people who supported Obama. Fox News didn't consider it bad form. (Were criticisms of Obama/Ayers relationship deemed racist? I don't recall. The argument that Ayers wrote Obama's first book seems shitty to me, but I don't if it's a racist claim.)

    At any rate, again - one side railing about something does not equate to both sides. Hilary Clinton has been mercilessly critiqued - sometimes justifiably. But, for goodness sakes, let's not say she's treated with kid gloves. She's not and hasn't been.

    Hannity was actually claiming he had the tape. For days. He kept saying it was the big one, that would doom Obama. Then one day, no mention of it.

    You'd think that they would have confirmed that there was a tape, and the contents of it, before promising to play it, and saying how important it was, would you?

    No. Remember all those breathless dispatches from Iraq that soldiers probably found chemical weapons, but actually didn't?

    Please provide a link to anything that shows Hannity says he possessed the tape.

    Since Media Matters tapes and transcribes every one of his shows, this should be easy to do if he ever claimed it.

    There is a YouTube clip in which he jokes that he was "rumored" to have the tape.

    There are also multiple commenters on multiple sites that claim they heard he had the tape and was going to play it. Google "Hannity" and "Whitey Tape"

    Rush also, in one of his rants, takes a shot at the media by claiming they were saying Hannity had the tape.

    There is no Media Matters transcript of his shows from that time period that I could find. I also did a Fox News transcript search, with a keyword of "Michelle" for June of 2008 and none of his shows came up.

    So, you don't have a link to him saying it.

    That's what I thought.

    You're guilty of exactly what you are claiming Hannity is guilty of.

    Sucks, doesn't it?

    That's why the Harry Reid's Romney taxes thing was one of my favorite parts of the 2012 race.

    Plus, just because there isn't a link doesn't mean it's not true, right? I mean, like I said, do a google search with those two phrases. Multiple sites over multiple pages crop up.

    Welcome to Starman Land Baron, the saddest place on the Internet.

    Oh I don't know, if you take a right at Starman land you end up in Old Tony land, I'm not thinking that's Disneyland either.

    I'm told they serve Thorazine smoothies in both places.

    Why? Tonyland also has its version of Fantasyland.
