Hannity has always been to me, the most rah-rah, flag waving, patriotic, constitution loving media personality on T.V. As a guy who came "from the streets" so to speak (not by choice I assure you), I get him. I don't always agree with him, but I get him as a guy who is being sincere. You get what you see, and I respect that.
He's also less conservative and more libertarian than most in my assessment. He can look back at the conservative politicians he used to support and say, "I was wrong". He's also a big believer in forgiveness and Faith, which is important and what I use as a separator of old school "conservatives". Most of which I don't personally get along with, and many of which, I think are only tough when they have the stick. I digress...
His show last night really was the most clear example of this as he gave a grieving father over half hour of his show and had a heart to heart, even as he did inject some pro-police politics and the like from time to time. It was definitely a kind gesture for him to give this father such an amount of time. Which, eventually lead to Trump calling this father when he saw the episode.
In my opinion, if media did this and allowed all sides of the debate (Hannity at one point even told his friend, "you can say whatever you want you can even criticize me if you want) and wore their patriotism and heart on their sleeve as Hannity does, society would be in a better place.
