There will be a double feature here shared on both Hannityisamoron.com and the-age-of-reason.blogspot.com
"The lies of Sean Hannity" will be a week long feature friday to friday and will be archived!
______________________________________________________________________________________
Military and Intelligence budget cuts?
Hannity: John Kerry is now out there…And he’s trying to say, “I voted for the biggest intelligence budget in the history in the Pentagon budget.” But he wanted to cancel SDI and every major weapons system. Specific votes that he would have canceled the weapons systems we now use. That is not an ad hominem attack. That is a legitimate, accurate portrayal of his record.
No Sean that's not legit: As seen on Slate.
The "Specific votes"
"It is instructive, however, to look at the footnotes. Almost all of them cite Kerry's vote on Senate bill S. 3189 ( CQ Vote No. 273) on Oct. 15, 1990. Do a Google search, and you will learn that S. 3189 was the Fiscal Year 1991 Defense Appropriations Act, and CQ Vote No. 273 was a vote on the entire bill. There was no vote on those weapons systems specifically .
On a couple of the weapons, the RNC report cites H.R. 5803 and H.R. 2126. Look those up. They turn out to be votes on the House-Senate conference committee reports for the defense appropriations bills in October 1990 (the same year as S. 3189) and September 1995."
On Kerry "Gutting" the CIA
"One thing is true: Kerry did introduce a bill on Sept. 29, 1995—S. 1290—that, among many other things, would have cut the intelligence budget by $300 million per year over a five-year period, or $1.5 billion in all.
But let's look at that bill more closely.
First, would such a reduction have "gutted" the intelligence services? Intelligence budgets are classified, but private budget sleuths have estimated that the 1995 budget totaled about $28 billion . Thus, taking out $300 million would have meant a reduction of about 1 percent. This is not a gutting."
Sean Hannity made an Ad Hominem, inaccurate statement on John Kerry's voting record!
A Lie!
