During a heated discussion<\/a> with Barack Obama’s communication director, Robert Gibbs, Sean Hannity blurted out the names of controversial figures that he said have been guests on his show. He was defending himself from Gibbs’ assertion that basing an entire episode of his Hannity’s America<\/a> on the commentary of noted anti-Semite Andy Martin could tag Hannity as an anti-Semite himself. Gibbs was actually just attempting to demonstrate that such guilt by association is not a valid strategy for debate.<\/p>\n

One of the names Hannity listed in his defense was Khalid Mohammad<\/a>. Was this the same Mohammad that was Osama Bin Laden’s propaganda chief? He is presently a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay and is considered one of the highest profile Al Qaeda leaders yet captured. The 9\/11 Commission described him as “the principal architect of the 9\/11 attacks,”<\/em> and he has reportedly confessed that he had personally decapitated the American journalist, Daniel Pearl.<\/p>\n

Hannity may have been referring to another Khalid Mohammad<\/a> who was the national spokesman for Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam (NOI). He is hardly a less controversial character. This Mohammad referred to Jews as bloodsuckers and was dismissed from the NOI for being too radical (for the NOI?). In February 1994, Congress issued a denunciation of Muhammad, condemning his speech as “outrageous hatemongering of the most vicious and vile kind.”<\/em> He died in 2001 of a brain aneurysm, so if Hannity had him on his show it was at least seven years ago.<\/p>\n

It would be interesting to find out to whom Hannity was referring. But either way Hannity admits that he pals around with some unsavory folks. He surely has no business criticizing Barack Obama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
