Hinchey Has Run-In With Sean Hannity

A short tussle between FOX News pundit Sean Hannity and Congressman Maurice Hinchey has once again lead to massive misunderstanding. It all started when Hannity tried to trap Hinchey in his own logic. While Hinchey decried all war supports, he himself had supported John Kerry (who supported the war in Iraq). To the untrained eye, it may seem as if there was a clear winner here. But the truth is that both Hinchey and Hannity won.

In Hannity's mind, Maurice came out publicly against an issue, and then voted for someone who supported that particular issue. That's a clear indication of hypocrisy. But what Hannity couldn't know was that Hinchey saw the whole thing in a different light. The reality Hinchey lived in had Kerry being lied to about the status of Iraq's weapons programs. Since no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, Hinchey's view was validated. Once in that mindset, Hinchey saw John Kerry not as a war supporter, but as someone who had been purposely mislead. Using this analysis, it becomes clear that Hannity saw Hinchey as a hypocrite, and Hinchey saw Kerry as a gullible fool.

And that's when Hinchey lost it and started wailing on Hannity.
