Enemy of the State

Just when you thought Sean Hannity could not descend further into fascistic diatribes, he unveils a new Sunday show feature: "Enemy of the State." No word on whether Hannity will be requiring two minutes' hate to accompany it. A reader adds:

Wow. It makes me wonder if Hannity has anything above a 4th-grade level education when it comes to the history of totalitarian movements. Seriously, "Enemy of the State"? Who doesn't immediately associate that phrase with Communism or Nazism?

I guess the best I can say is that at least Hannity doesn't have the authority to send the secret police to arrest the weekly "Enemy of the State", but it does show you the mindset behind most of the far-right's media thugs.
