So that's what they are all about. I hope Keith shows that tonight.
HANNITY: See, can I add one thing? I think we won the debate.
DREIER: We did win the debate.
HANNITY: When you think about the vast majorities that they have in Congress and they had to bribe, backroom deals, corruption, that’s all because the tea party movement, the people — all these Tim McVeigh wannabes here.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
HANNITY: Guys, thank you for being here.

1. The crowd took that as a compliment?

No dipshit it was a concept known as sarcasm.

2. I feel ill
I think he meant it as a joke (in typical right-wing blowhard style of joking, anyway) but the audience didn't even bat an eye before it start applauding and cheering.
grotesque
Yeah we aren't clever as you libs calling the President clever names like Chimpy.
The audience got the joke unlike most of you goons.

5. If he meant it as a joke, it sure didn't come out that way.
I just watched it for the third time, and he sounds dead serious.
You are such an idiot.

29. I was thinking along the lines of "Yuk yuk, they call us terrorists, yuk yuk"
Being a conservative though, his delivery ****ing sucks, and irony is a foreign concept to him.
But hte audience didn't even pause. Guh.
The real irony is you don't understand that the audience got the joke.

12. I dont understand this at all
How in any way would this be a joke? Besides the fact that he did not sound like he was joking at all, I dont understand where the joke is in that.
Another nuanced lib.

18. Doesn't sound like he's kidding
I think he said it before he realized that he had to edit himself. I can't believe those people took it as a compliment. Cheering and clapping over the bombing of a federal building...
And these people call themselves patriots? What's the difference between Osama Bin Laden and McVeigh?
Here is a clue moron he has made sarcastic comments about being a Tim McVeigh wannabe on his radio show a few times. The audience full of people who listen to him recognized the joke.

19. Stephanie played it this morning.
Some caller tried to invoke "context" to explain the statement...as if it were a joke.
First of all, if you have to explain a joke...it's not funny.
Second, It's not funny in any context.
Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people?
Of course it isn't funny to you, you are being made fun of.
Ok maybe I can splain this to you DUmmies. What Hannity did was like when gay people call themselves queers and fags with the intent of making fun of people who call them that.
