I read the books he had written for him. I still have an extensive paper archive on him.<br /><br />I've had to do extensive original research on a number of righties over the years for various projects. For more than a year, I've been thinking about doing the same for John Hagee, since he is a particularly vile human being about which there has been almost no critical commentary (everyone writes about the same handful of instances with him).<br /><br />I've resisted for the very reason you outline--it really sucks to have to listen to all that bullshit. I used to be able to tolerate it a lot better; as I've gotten older, it has become more difficult. It just begins to chip away at your soul over time. As you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares into you.classicliberal2http://lefthooktheblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342454496014200176.post-61285494693948487952011-07-20T12:24:12.936-04:002011-07-20T12:24:12.936-04:00I wonder what the burn-out rate of Hannity/etc wat...I wonder what the burn-out rate of Hannity/etc watchers at MMFA is. I can't listen to these cretins for more than a few seconds without starting to hypereventilate. Perhaps the day before my next check-up (BP 110/70 yesterday) I'll listen to one of them for an hour. I'm betting 220/140.Conchobharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615429492457158341noreply@blogger.com
