I would love to have heard it, a credible news organization would have given him the opportunity to elaborate his position. Instead Hannity decided to provide his viewers with the entertainment they desire, not enlightenment. The guy even said, when Hannity was querying him about his employment, that Hannity already checked this on LinkedIn so what is the purpose of that line of questioning

Enlightenment does not have to mean you learn something and agree with it, it can also mean you are enlightened to what your opponent's thinking is. Fox though, is not about learning, it is about entertainment, just like the Republican Party who pays them to be their mouthpiece

I always get the words confused so I apologize. In my opinon a news station should not be own by a poltical party and should never be opinonated that is why I dislike Fox News.
I always get word confused I often think words have more then one meaning. I persoanlly would like atheists to do the news seeing how they are less likely to be bais regardless of what the issue is. Fox News is a machine that |

I think religion or nonreligion should not play a role in how news is delivered, modern news media is a money making entertainment business. In my opinion, the early 21st century news media is all a macrocosm of TMZ. It is doing more harm than it is informing people, at least on some subjects

I don't think that was Schultz' position. Hannity pushed him into the freeloader corner and put those words into his mouth without giving him the opportunity to explain his political point of view. |
You are saying he was tricked into claiming that his political ideology is something it is not? |
Schultz was bullied into an intimidated and defensive state and not given enough time to properly explain himself in between the ad hominem attacks. The movement that he represents -- which, for the most part, acted very peaceful and orderly -- was mispresented as a horde of violent rioters, looters and rapists. Schultz himself was made into an anarchist and a freeloader, who can't be bothered to look for a job and instead suckles on the welfare teat (when in fact he was laid off and is currently participating in further education to improve his chances on the job market, from what I gathered). By the time Hannity asked questions about his political ideology, in between further personal attacks, Schultz was understandably stressed out. He didn't have a chance to get a complete sentence in, and the viewer never got to know his political ideology. |

The statement that cops were somehow infiltrating the OWS movement to discredit it was pretty stupid. The small number of criminal incidents that did happen were blown way out of proportion by the right in the first place so there's no need to come back with conspiracy theories. As for his political views, he didn't really get a chance to clearly explain them. It seems Hannity stated them for him instead, trying to frame him into a corner. |

| I agree with you their religion should not play a role in the news. I am a strong supporter of keeping my faith out of politics because it will always do more harm then good. Using a religiion to help create laws is unfair to the people of no faith the religious can still keep their faith. Just because their religion no longer plays a role in politiics does not mean that religion would end up being ban. |

If you really want to understand where the Occupy Wall Street movement is coming from, I think Florida representative Alan Grayson said it best in a panel debate on Bill Maher's show Real Time:
| Quote: | Alan Grayson: "They are complaining about the fact that Wall Street wrecked the economy three years ago and nobody was held responsible for that. Not a single person has been indicted or convicted for destroying twenty percent of our national net worth accumulated over the course of two centuries. They are upset about the fact that Wall Street has iron control over the economic policies of this country, and that one party is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wall Street, and the other party caters to them as well."
P. J. O'Rourke: "Give the man a bongo drum! They've found their spokesman! ..."
Alan Grayson: "If I am the spokesman for all the people who think we should not have 24 million people in this country who can't find a full time job, that we should not have 50 million people in this country who can't see a doctor when they're sick, that we shouldn't have 47 million people in this country who need government help to feed themselves and we shouldn't have 15 million families who owe more on their mortgage than the value of their home, then I'll be that spokesman." |

I agree, though cops infiltrating peaceful protests and inciting violence is not something without precedent. The SQ here in Quebec is well known for this, having been caught red handed, and it has happened elsewhere. I don't think it is as unlikely as some would assume, and I am not one to consider "conspiracy theories" worthy of investigation

I'm not convinced. There were no ad hominem attacks when Hannity was asking about free services, and he was not in any way visibly stressed. He was even making jokes while answering ("Oh god yes, I could use some free dental care"). Someone that was stressed out and pressured into claiming a view that they do not espouse would not have answered with the confidence that he answered with.
No, I think he believes everything he said, and I'm curious why you are trying to defend him in this way. |

Schultz was good enough not to let them see him sweat but not good enough to avoid biting on Hannity's line of questioning. His making jokes was his attempt to lighten things, because in case you did not notice, Hannity was treating him like a piece of sh**, which is exactly what Hannity's viewers want. They and Hannity could give two f**** about what Schultz and OWS think. I am glad Schultz maintained his composure
