Hannity undivided: excerpting This Divided State
There's a lengthy, unfair and unbalanced clip of Fox News entertainer Sean Hannity over at the website for This Divided State, Steven Greenstreet's vivid four-star politi-doc about a 2004 fracas at Orem, Utah Valley State College in Orem when Michael Moore was invited to speak, local politicos predicted the apocalypse and Hannity was brought in preemptively to further inflame the populace against the liberal scourge. (With Hannity, were you expecting "fair and balanced"?) Hannity, when not making campaign fundraising appearances for Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA), is busy threatening to sue the filmmakers of this powerful glimpse of hate and demagoguery: "I am extremely angry at what they have done with that video footage. I plan on suing them," the Fox star has said about the showcasing of his epic incivility. One version of the 10 minute clip is here.

THIS DIVIDED STATE is a great movie and shows Hannity for what he is: a hypocritical bully. All the hubub over Moore speaking at that college was due to his price tag, then Mr. peace love and happiness Sean Hannity swoops in and offers to speak "for free." However, his expenses in getting him to Orem nearly doubled Moores speaking fees. The film exposes him for that and I guarantee that's why he's mad. He also comes off like a pompous prick during his speaking engagement, but that was no revelation.
