Right Wing radio and TV show talk show host Sean Hannity is the perfect guy for this contest, because as we all know Democrats don't like cars that have over a 100 HP because they hate the oil companies, it has something to do with Global Warming and the fact Dems despise Capitalism.

I am a Republican and I like cars with lots of power.

I like Mad Money Jim Cramer and President's Richard Nixon and Abraham Lincoln.

UH, so not true. Most of the state of Illinois is democrat. They drive fast cars.

We know where Agent 009 and his politcal bias lyes. Why would he even be on this site unless you are a Church of Liberlism type. Once again we have a liberal with a personal attack (phantom330) on a conservative commentator all he does is present the facts.

Just remember Liberalism is a mental disorder that should be treated by a healthcare professional!!

i just heard his gm spot last night on the radio and it sounded alright (hes on the station i get the news and traffic and weather from and listen to savage, dave glover, and glen beck.)

hannity is two much of a party boy for me(political party not dead hooker party like the dems). having him as a spokesperson niether incourages nor detours me from buying a gm product. if i liked him more i would be more eager to buy a car from gm now. if i didnt like him, then i wouldnt listen to his show.

and will,
everyday we have to put up with celebrities bullshit left weng half-truths and blatent lies. i change the channel if i can. how the hell is this any different? oh i know, gm sends sean a check. hollywood just bashes america for free! eg: whoppie goldburg and slim fast. goto venezuala where all these retards love, and say hugo chaves is an idiot, he attacked their country, he is like hitler/the devil/a drug addict, and see if you dont get killed.

oh yea and look at these bullshit quotes from hannity
you can clearly see they were taken out of context to make him sound like a hate monger, who the hell wrote this? micheal moore?

– Hannity said a Democratic victory in the midterm elections could be a “victory for the terrorists”
<he said this while focosing on the democrats lack of security funding compared to republicans>
– Hannity said that “making sure Nancy Pelosi doesn’t become the [House] speaker” is “worth … dying for.”
<notice how the quotes break between speaker, worth, and dying. gee wonder if that information there was left out conviently>
– Hannity defended Ann Coulter’s attack on the widows of 9/11 victims, whom Coulter described as “broads” who were “enjoying their husbands’ deaths.”
<OH MY GOSH he was defending another americans right to free speech! LOCK HIM UP>
– Hannity compared voting for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) to voting for terrorist groups Hamas or Hezbollah.
<um i wonder what would happen if ABCLebenon aired a docu-drama on terrorist attacks and lack of government protection. i wonder if hamas or hezbollah would try to censor it in some way.>

That's true, I'm a true American, I'm a democrat, republican and everything good that this great land offers me. But I agree, Hannity IS a jackass! and Bill Orielly as well. True American is someone who sees his/her mistakes so they can CORRECT them. I don't think Hannity or some of the FoxNews anchors should consider themselves as true Americans. Actually GM is NOT a true American car company either, if it was it would've made good product and stopped selling garbage to its American people, the same goes to the other 2, Ford and DiamlerBenz.

I say, shame on such companies to use the American name as a tool to sell their shit, and if Hannity was a "true" American he would've rejected their offer, but yet that's another prove that neither of them is and all they care about is $$ nothing else, don't care about America's imgage, name, nor state, nothing of that.

Hey! I'm christian and love to fellowship.

I don't care at all about Sean and I think he's very unfair and bias. The bible says "he truth will set you free" to Sean that translate as, Bush will set you free. The Guy lie thru his teeth for the president, even when the truth is right on site.

Very bad move for Business.

This would be okay if Mr. Hannity was even remotely unbiased in his reporting. But then, Fox News doesn't know what balanced reporting is. This could hurt GM. I'm sure there are other spokesfolks out there that would be more palatable to both sides of the political spectrum. But then don't forget, in today's political environment if you don't agree with Conservatives you are unpatriotic.

Just before I read your post (I95), I was thinking the exact same thing: GM is OOOOOOOOOOZING with desperation. It is so sick. Who wants to associate with desperate people or companies? I don't. It is very unattractive in either form!

How arrogant of GM trying to BS us into buying their junk because it's the patriotic thing to. Nice try, but I'll keep buying imports totally guilt free, and laughing at the mongoloids in their Silverados with the "Fight Terrorism, Buy American" bumper stickers.

When I think of America, I think of baseball, apple pie and TOYOTA!

LOL@SpeedRacer

EL34 I’m going speak the way you rednecks speak in good ol' Alabama......

EL34 getcher haid outcher ass. Yer stoopid ass redneck thet probably lives in Alabama an' drives an old ass GMC pick up fum th' 80's wif NOS thet yo' purchased fum Wal-Mart. Git back t'havin' incess relashunships an' leave th' internet fo' ejoocayted folk who don’t live in th' south, ok?


Now back to the topic.....I've never owned a GM car or truck and I never will I own one. Americans can't build cars, PERIOD. If it wasn't for the Germans Chrysler would be in the same condition GM and Ford are in right now. Picking Hannity only makes sense. Most of the people who watch Fox News are like EL34, have grade 9 education, are from the South and think Mr. Bush is the best President. These same rejects oops I mean people are the ones who buy GM cars and trucks. Most educated people would never think of owning a GM car or truck, NEVER.

I think SpeedRacer is just pissed cause Foley didn't IM with him. This is stupid. Who cares if GM hired him. There's a thousand brands out there that hire "liberals" to advertise and I've yet to hear anyone complain. Hell, I'd still buy a Honda if they had Hillary pitching their products...and she makes Bush-Dick look like Jesus.

Holly Cow!
Some of you have some good points but the rest of you need to get a clue. Seriously. You need to realize that the news is entertainment now, that’s all and that’s what Hannity and Colmes do. The sooner you realize this the sooner you can start searching for the truth. I admit that Hannity is an arrogant jerk sometimes but so is Colmes. Both of them say the most stupid things sometimes. You need to ask yourself “Who is looking out for me? Who wants to give me the best chance to prosper on my own?” Then you will have to do your research. If you only listen to people like Agent009, then you will never hear the whole truth. Obviously this person is liberal and by taking words out of context when he is quoting Hannity just shows that he is not at all a biased reporter if he is a reporter at all.
Both Hannity and Bill O'Reilly are pretty arrogant but they do some great things and give tons of money to charities, especially O'Reilly. Allen Colmes and other Democrats do some pretty great things to but more and more the Democrats have been overtaken by socialist agenda minded people and the vast amount of American people do not want that. GM realizes this and even though I would not use Hannity I think this will be a smart move for GM.
People, please take the time to do more research before slamming people otherwise you sound like an idiot.
