so my dear willow....you do know a willow bends right? you can see this is not just the evil of the democrats...where are you gonna stop acting like all evils were invented by democrats...have you seen the cost of sanford chartering private jets to europe?

dear old rattlebones, you do know that democrats live breath own and make all the laws in the state of california that why it's in the shit hole. so the democrats had the federal government turn off the water. the farmers need the water, the farmers have to now stand in line and beg for food from the food bank.. they are standing in the richest most fertile valley in the country. now what should be done about that? ratltles?

[WillowTree]

don't act so innocent, it's because you threw some dumb confederate map up there for you mocking pleasure,

Huh?

Can someone with a decoder ring clue me in to what the hell she is trying to say in these last few posts?

Hannity is a man on a mission.

And his mission is to brainwash as many drones, like yourself, as he possibly can. I think he, Rush, and Glennbeck are in competition with each other.

I don't know about that; "brainwash" implies they must have a brain to begin with...

My bad...skull cavity wash.

Sort of like a cranial douche.

Watch Hannity Tonight

No.

He sounds like a duck, has zero original material, and says "literally" about thirty times an hour.

Damn. That word literally he repeats so often drives me insane.

I counted up once...listening to his radio show one afternoon drive - in 20 minutes he said it 28 times.

He uses it so wrong, so often as well. He says things like "the democrat heads are literally exploding." Uh, no, they are not literally exploding, fuckwit.
Metaphorically, perhaps, not literally.

Boom!

"Washington is literally burning to the ground!"

In 1812 maybe, not now.

"Literally"! literally! literally! What a moron.

Californians React To Sean Hannity Spreading Misinformation About Water Crisis

Hannity blamed President Obama for refusing to lift a series of federal mandates. State water experts counted a total of 10 incorrect statements in Hannity’s broadcast.

​

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 17, 2009 – Fresno, CA...... Conservative talk show host Sean Hannity aired live from the San Joaquin Valley tonight to garner national attention for California’s water crisis. Instead of illustrating how outrageous water speculation and irresponsible agricultural practices are adding to a natural drought, Hannity fueled partisan politics and blamed President Obama for refusing to lift a series of federal mandates and environmental rulings that order a small amount of water to be used to restore regional fisheries and protect the balance of the entire Northern California coastal ecosystem.
State water experts counted a total of 10 incorrect statements in Hannity’s broadcast.

This is a new topic for me, so I am unfamiliar with many of the details. I am going by what I can cull here from the different sources.

Suffice it to say though, if Hannity is screaming about it, he's most likely misrepresenting it. I rarely see or hear him do anything else. That's basically his job.

"In June 2009, The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) ordered 5-7% of water flows into the valley (330,000 acre-feet) to be used to restore creeks and estuaries for chinhook salmon, which are being threatened with extinction. In addition to the salmon, the NMFS order will help boost populations of other threatened species - including sole, crab, herring, smelt, steelhead, sturgeon, bass, and killer whales. Regional commercial and sport fisheries have collapsed over the past 2 years, and an independent economic research firm estimates that recovery of the salmon fishery alone would create $5.7 billion in new economic activity for the state, and the creation of 94,000 new jobs.

“The water needed to save Pacific fisheries is a drop in the bucket compared to what is being lost with irresponsible irrigation techniques and business practices,” says Mike Hudson, President of the Small Boat Commercial Salmon Fishermen’s Association. “Local fisheries have completely collapsed and thousands of our lives have been destroyed, but Hannity ignores our families to promote his politics.”

Hannity made no mention of of a recent Pacific Institute report showing how simple, and cost-effective irrigation techniques could be adopted by valley farmers to save nearly 6 million acre-feet of water per year (over 18 times the amount re-routed by the NMFS order). Nor did he address the growing practice of water speculation, in which rural land owners purchase subsidized water from the federal government and sell it for profit on the open market (Sandridge Partners, a Sunnyvale real estate company, recently sold 14,000 acre-feet of water out of the valley for $77 million). Finally, Hannity failed to explain why the Westlands Water District from which he broadcast from is sitting on nearly 275,000 acre-feet of water that it is not distributing.

Despite the drought and water restrictions, valley farms are full of bumper crops this year. Agricultural surpluses of water-intensive crops such as almonds, tomatoes, walnuts, and pecans are expected.

Zeke Grader of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen’s Association extended an on-air invitation to Sean Hannity to visit the Pacific Northwest and interview the fishermen who have been without a livelihood for 2 years. “Certainly we can do both,” replied Hannity.

“It is unfortunate that Mr. Hannity has chosen to be a stooge for large land owners making a water grab so they can sell it to southern California for golf courses in the desert,” said Grader.

For complete detail of the misinformation told on Hannity’s broadcast, please see the attached list.


COMPLETE DETAIL OF MISINFORMATION ON HANNITY’S FRESNO BROADCAST


False. Hundreds of laborers appeared in the background, backed up for miles, holding signs and screaming chants in support of Hannity.
True. These are the same workers with the same signs that have been hired by large farm growers for the past couple of rallies. On April 14, 2009, the same organization sponsoring Hannity’s visit held a march that the United Farm Workers called a “grower-sponsored march, a grower-organized march, for water for growers....not a farmworkers' march." The New York Times reported "many of the protesters were paid by their employers to march in lieu of harvesting crops.”

F. The unemployment rate in the San Joaquin Valley is over 40% because farmers cannot grow crops due to a lack of water.
T. The State of California’s most recent employment data reports that Fresno County, the county in which Hannity filmed, has only 15% unemployment, compared to a 12.1% state average. Furthermore, farm jobs increased by 5.3% in the months immediate following the NMFS environmental ruling. Even before the global recession, the Western region of the county historically had the highest unemployment rate in the state. In 2000, before the drought and environmental restrictions, unemployment in the Western region was 32%.

F. The federal government has shut off the water pumps.
T. Most water is flowing through the valley. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that nearly 80% of the water from the ailing delta continues to flow directly into the valley. The local water district has a surplus of hundreds of thousands of acre-feet of water that it is not distributing.

F. The water restrictions were issued to protect only a 2” smelt.
T. A number of species threatened with extinction in this region are being protected by this regulation, including salmon, sole, crab, herring, steelhead, sturgeon, bass, and killer whales. The collapse of one of these fisheries alone is costing the state $5.7 billion and 94,000 jobs.

F. The federal government is choosing fish over people.
T. Protecting regional fisheries creates numerous jobs. Both fish and agriculture can prosper if growers adopted simple, cost-effective irrigation techniques. More responsible farming practices would save 18 times the amount of water being diverted for salmon.

F. The price of processed tomato goods and almonds are going to skyrocket across the nation.
T. This year is predicted to be a record-breaking harvest of processing tomatoes due to ideal weather conditions. Tomato production is up 15% from last year, with 11% more acres planted. Mike Montna, president and CEO of the California Tomato Growers Association, said this year’s processing-tomato harvest — now at the halfway point — is heading toward a record for the state. Almonds are in record-shattering surpluses as well, and a decrease in production would actually save the industry.
F. The NMFS ruling will require us to import more food from China.
T. Seafood is already the most imported food product in the United States. The NMFS estimates that 83% of all seafood consumed in America last year was imported from another country. Driving fisheries out of business will only increase food imports. On the other hand, 75% of California’s almonds are exported out of the United States.

F. This decision was made by a handful of environmentalists.
T. Restoring water to fisheries has been ordered for over 15 years, beginning in 1992 with a Congressional law (Central Valley Improvement Act). A recent independent review was “flabbergasted” that the law has been ignored. A team of government scientists in the Bush administration ordered for water to be rerouted to save fisheries as well, although that order was shelved by the Secretary of the Interior. An additional report was recently released and approved by the new administration.

F. Local residents are flocking to food banks and waiting all day for food.
T. The local CBS station reported that only ‘dozens of families’ showed up to the food bank.


Mike Hudson and Zeke Grader are experienced spokespeople and are available for both live and recorded interviews through the above media contact.


F. The area of Fresno County in which Hannity reported is a ‘natural breadbasket’ where agriculture flourishes.
T. Huron, CA receives an average of only 6.7 inches of rain a year, far less than what is needed to."

I'm trying as hard as I can to talk about those poor democrats in california.. the feds turned off their water and they have petitioned the congress numerous times but that bitch pelosi won't even let the subject come to the floor, so they are starving and standing in a line at the food bank in the middle of the richest agricultural state in MY COUNTRY. Now what do you have to say about that?

I would say what goes around eventually comes around. California has wiped out natural water sources for years and years. Actually it started before you were born.

California water wars.
