really??
seems your previous opinion counters your new one. Furthermore, the actions fo a a few are indefensible however, the movement is defensible. Lumping them all together as one is the primary flaw in the argument of the right.
my guess is that the kid just wanted to be on TV and didn't know enough about hannety to make the call as to how he would be treated. Based on how he reacted he didn't expect such a hostile envoronment and that is his own fault.
and there in lies the praise.
the problem with your analysis and praise on hannety based on how you claimed "Mr. Hannity showed a complete lack of ability to defend what many would say is Indefensable" is that the "kid" was not defending the bad acts of a few which hannety was obsessed with attributing to the whole of the movement.
Your analysis is flawed and your praise is heaped onto hannety for making a false point.
Incorrect, when one does an interview with someone who has an indefensable position, and knowing the history of the interviewer going into that interview still does not prepare himself it does two things. One, it serves to make the person doing the interview look better than they are in terms of skills, and Two it makes the postion that in this case the OWS young man was trying to defend look less able to defend his position.
Praise ; Express warm approval or admiration of
heap; To bestow in abundance or lavishly
No where in my post could it be said, that my post meets that definition. To make the statement that someone does a "good job" of showing skills that are already lacking does that impart "heaping praise upon them. As for your assertion that
Sean Hannity is making a false point that matters not one bit and I will tell you why, the public perception of OWS at the moment is a group willing to assert its rights at the expense of the rights of others. It takes little skills at all from any interviewer to serve to bring this out. Both of my post serve one purpose and are consistant with one another for the following reasons, one that the original message of OWS would have had wide approval and mine as well had it followed a non-violent social movement that has had success in the past, two that the young man in question knew that his position was indefensable going into the interview, and still further knew the past history of an Interviewer like Sean Hannity as was ill prepared, three this served to make Sean Hannity's job much easier and in turn made him look better as an interviewer than perhaps he is. four in doing so, Sean Hannity did a good job in hi-lighting the the young mans lack of preperation, the perception of OWS as being one that has moved away from being non-violent, and more so the message of OWS being "usurped" by a group of people who have sought to use it as a method to take rights from others while asserting their own. It takes little skill as a journalist to do this and as such calling it "heaping praise" is a far cry from what many would say is a good job, that perhaps any TV commentator could have done given the nature of OWS and it's recent problem with public perception. One last thing, the questions that Mr. Hannity asked are well within the scope of what any jounalist would and should ask a defender of OWS as if the young man in question thought otherwise perhaps Mr. Hannitys show was not the best venue to express his views and he should have known that going in.
You are of course entitled to your opinion in which I respect as I do all others.
You lost this debate the moment you tried to define the interviewees postion based on the biased interviewers postions. the "kid" did not defend the indefensible acts that hannety was trying to attribtue to the movement as a whole therefore he was not defending and indefensible position.
btw I can find defitnions too.

but thanks for the spin.

So it doesn't matter that hannety is being dishonest as long as somone is gullible enough to buy the lie?? WOW!
BTW any evidence to support your claim about the public's perception of OWS?
My Words;
This interview by Mr. Hannity showed a complete lack of ability to defend what many would say is Indefensable, (myself among them) on the part of the
young man who claimed to represent OWS.
The term is applied to mean in this case as someone much younger than myself as in this case that is very true! As for the word Kid that is a word you applied to the young man in question and others as well.
Your Words;
Your analysis is flawed and your
praise is heaped onto hannety for making a false point.
Frankly how you get heaping praise out of any of my posts is beyond me, no matter the word
heaped implies as the definition I supplied you defiines it.
You asked for some information;
The poll, released today, show 30 percent of voters surveyed view the movement favorably, 39 percent unfavorably, with an additional 30 percent not hearing enough to have an opinion. ItÂ’s one of the first national polls to suggest voters are growing skeptical of Occupy Wall Street- and it comes as police have clashed with protesters in several cities. Previous national polls have shown a plurality of adults supporting the movement.
Public Opinion Souring On Occupy Wall Street
More than half of those surveyed by Ipsos were unsure how they felt about the movement -- which prides itself on being leaderless -- while a third sympathized with the protesters and 13 percent had an unfavourable view of the group.
"This shift in favorability suggests the movement could have greater support if they communicated their goals more clearly. Until then, the primary response will continue to be a lack of awareness," said Ipsos spokeswoman Keren Gottfried.
Occupy Wall Street: On Global Scale Roughly Third Of People Aware Of Movement, Poll Finds
Occupy protesters celebrated May Day, the traditional labor and communist holiday, with spasms of violence across the country on Monday. According to Buzz Feed, "Black Bloc" protesters in New York, the cradle of the Occupy movement, attacked photographers and tried to take their cameras.
The New York Daily News reports that the NYPD arrested 86 protesters on charges "ranging from disorderly conduct to assaulting cops."
On the West Coast, there was even more violence. In Oakland, police used tear gas and "flash bang" grenades to break up demonstrations and arrested at least 25 protesters according to CBS News. In Seattle, the violence seemed to be the worst as Occupiers
dressed in black broke windows, vandalized cars, blocked traffic and did extensive damage to the federal courthouse MSNBC reports.

People in the San Francisco Bay Area appeared to be turned off by Occupy's tactics on Saturday, according to an opinion poll by SurveyUSA.
Of 500 people surveyed on Sunday, 26 percent said they had once supported the Occupy movement and now do not. Added to 31 percent who said they always opposed the movement, the poll suggests a majority of public opinion opposes the group.
Occupy Movement Divided Over Confrontational Tactics, After Oakland Street Battle
Look, If OWS wants people to agree with their cause and many do agree with the idea of holding the financial sector responsible for the overall health of this nation, but a whole lot of those people do not agree that in order to make this happen you need to destroy first or seek to take away the rights of others in order to make your point. My feelings for Mr. Hannity are not so blinded by any partisan feelings left or right as to see in him or the young man in question anything but what I said. To imply otherwise is to express your own opinion on the matter which your of course entitled to do.
