Sean Hannity only has a high school diploma!
Posted by thewiseguy on Sat Mar-15-08 07:40 PM

Not only that but he got his diploma from a Seminary!

Sean Hannity is most probably the only Fox anchor without a college degree.

So what genius does this high school diploma come up with? Hannidate! A service to match republican singles!

The very christian Sean Hannity!


 :bird:  And I bet he still makes multiples what you do, asshat.

This sounds like more bullshit, because he is an attorney.

I have been looking around to debunk this lie, and I never found anything saying that he is/was an attorney...but I did find this...

(scroll down to education)


you will see that he did more than just graduate HS.

Leave it to wikipedia to lie  :whatever:

From Wikipedia:

Quote
Since 2005, Hannity has run a dating service on his website, called "Hannidate," matching conservative or Republican-leaning singles of gay or straight orientation.

That must make their heads spin. :o

Degrees and where you get them have a Hell of a lot more to do with your class origins than they do with actual intelligence or anything else of substance.  Kind of an odd criticism to be coming from a bunch of people who are supposedly against class distinctions.

Sean Hannity is not an attorney.  He does only have a high school diploma.   He used to work in construction.

Makes no difference however as he is far more well read and informed than 99.9999% of the DU. 

Oh and newsflash to them, Bill Gates only has a high school diploma also.....

The link that I posted to said that he had honorary doctorates from 2 different universities, but I never found anything from any source stating that he is an attorney. I could swear he was  :thatsright:, but maybe  not.

As someone who also only has a high school diploma I say good for him.
He has made himself a good living by being hard working and dedicated to a profession.

It is no shock that seeing someone gain prominence and wealth by their own actions and efforts would be regarded with scorn by the primitives.

If only they took that kind of initiative in life but then they might lose their favorite hobby of whining and complaining. :banghead:

It's got to be one huge kick in the ass for all the DUmmies with their advances degrees in useless studies to see him raking in millions while they hunt for minimum wage jobs.

If I remember right .... Peter Jennings didn't even finish High School.

My Father never even made it into High School since he dropped out in 8th grade to help his own family get by.  He enlisted into the Navy during WWII, learned a trade and worked his ass off to raise a family and provide all that we could ever want. He may not have been "book smart" but he was a smart man.


I've known a lot of smart, happy and successful people who never attended college and I've known some idiots that hold advanced degrees.  Just look at the DUmp and find all the Ph d.'s who don't have a grasp of the simplest concepts.

So?  I mean really does it matter?  Does it make him anyless intelligent?


What you're so pissy about DUmmie is that you spent thousands of dollars you have to repay on some obscure degree you can't use in the real world and you're stuck at some job you hate because no one wants to hire you on your Antarctic Entomology Degree no matter how killer your Doctorate Thesis was.

And here is Hannity with a H.S. Diploma and he's a self made millionaire to boot.


You made your life choices...he made his.

Live with your choices.

How many of the Hollyweird types or Rock stars who think they are politicians didn't even GRADUATE high school?

These same celebrity "thinkers" that the DUmmies hold in such high regard aren't even as smart or driven to finish their education as Hannity was.

Everything is relative to Liberals.  If Hannity was on Air America and not Fox...the fact he only has a H.S. Degree would be held up as a great American success story.

This is a big "so what?"  I think Rush dropped out of college and so did Bill Gates.

You don't need a degree to be successful.

And as the DUmmies prove, having a degree doesn't guarantee success.  Or even sanity.

I read a quote from someone once upon a time (name escapes me now--it moght be an early 20th Century president) that included this sentence:  "The world is full of educated idiots."

what qualifications do they expect a talking head needs   ..to read news? Hannity does have a pretty wide range of knowledge about history.

most of the blow hards on ABC, CBS, NBC etc, are over educated idiots who dont know diddly about much outside of New York. who cares?

alan colmes might or might not be college educated; he's a complete wuss compared to Hannity. and again, who cares?

honestly, the older I get, the more I meet self made people who either ditched college or never went - and their lives are just as productive and wealthy as they desired. maybe more so.. cause they had nothing to prove.

in fact, my husband comes from this tiny town in Canada.. most of those people arent college educated, but they know a whole lot about oil. there are a lot of millionaires in overalls living there. education is not the be all end all.

This sounds like more bullshit, because he is an attorney.

That's the first time I've heard about him being an attorney, LL.

Edit: NM, already answered. Sean worked his way up to get where he's at.

They're all just jealous!!!! Sean's background and evident success takes away their argument about not being able to make it in the real world without a famous last name or trust fund or college degree. They really hate that. :-)

What they really hate is the fact that Hannity earned the success on Fox News Channel, and not on Air America.

The list of those goes on and on with the Hollyweird types. Sean may only have a H.S. Diploma, but he's 10 times as smart and well read as the smartest person any DUmmy knows.

J'adore.

I'd like to add, if he received his basic education in a seminary, his "high school diploma" is likely to have inculcated him with the working equivalent of an undergrad degree. Unlike the current U.S. public high school diploma, which Jethro Bodine could easily have earned.

Maybe you're confusing him with his friend Neal Boortz, who was an attorney.  Or Mark Levin, who I think still practices law.
