Hannity gets served by an atheist... and his own stupidity

He first tries to bring the conversation off of what the atheist thinks about Christianity around to Islam, them criticises him for trampling all over religious people. If ever there is any story on Islam Hannity is the first person to trample all over Muslims, he does it all the time I've seen him do it before. Practice what you preach, not that I'm defending Islam either, I'm just showing his hypocrisy here.

I hate Sean Hannity almost as much as I hate Bill O'Reilly.

Hannity is worse
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

The problem with media, especially the right wing, is conveying facts of science can not be done in a 5 min segment.
But I have to say Dave schooled Sean. The scary part of this, is that the religious right and economic right in this country, have begun to mimic the arguments of the right side of history. Notice how Sean called Dave a narcissist. That is our argument about theism. It is quite humbling for the atheist to ponder being finite and unimportant to the universe. Religion teaches you your club is the center of the planet AND the universe.

I sincerely dislike David Silverman. He is always doing such a terrible job when he camps out at Fox News. He is terrible at this. And he always comes off just as Fox News wants to portray atheists. That's why Hannity has him on all the time as the token atheists.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I wasn't going to comment, but since you posted this, I will.
Hannity's questions exposed what Silverman's organization is all about to a very large audience. For many, it would have been a shock to learn what the "new atheists" believe and what they are up to.

Actually, Hannity misrepresented what American Atheists are doing in order to propagate his persecution complex in Fox News' annual War on Christmas extravaganza, and Silverman did a terrible job defending his stance, not in small part because of Hannity's refusal to let his opponent get a full idea in. Hannity is the slimiest person on TV. If you watch his interviewing style, he never follows on an idea. If his opponent starts to say anything that might bely the point Hannity wants to promote, then it's non sequitur time, and on to something else completely unrelated.
American Atheists are putting up billboards that tell closeted atheists that there are more people like them than they think, and that it's okay to be you in public, you don't have to pretend anymore. The fact that the folks over at Bullshit Mountain get butthurt about it is an added bonus.

Bill O'Reilly is nowhere near the dickwad that Hannity is, and nowhere near the moron that Hannity is.
If Sean Hannity, Bill Donohue, and William Lane Craig were in a contest for dipshit of the decade, Hannity would win by a hair.

I could never go on his show, because "would you shut the fuck up and let me answer your question" would jump out of my mouth a couple of times. He took this tool of O'Reilly's and made it an interview style: ask a loaded question, interrupt its dismissal.

He did that at least twice in the OP's video, stating "But I don't want to discuss what you believe, I already know you believe yadda yadda yadda" as a segue to another loaded question leading into an interrupted answer.
