I nearly fell off of my chair when I learned FoxNews gasbag Sean Hannity has tried to copy KO's Worst Person in the World by introducing his own worst person segment on his new show, titled "Enemy of the State."
His first target was Sean Penn, an actor and activist who is dedicated to everything that Sean Hannity hates. Ideals such as freedom, democracy, liberty, decency, human dignity and generally all things sympathetic to a just, civil society.
First off, we all know this
From TPM Cafe:

Great Moments In Fox News Dept. Forget Keith Olbermann's "Worst Person In The World" contest — it's now been completely upstaged by a new Sunday contest on Fox: Sean Hannity's "Enemy of the State" award. Last night, Hannity's new Sunday night program aired for the first time, and from here on he'll award his "Enemy of the State" prize — a term originating with ancient Roman dictators placing bounties on rivals — on whatever red-state abortionist, anti-war activist, or run-of-the-mill Democrat who has attracted Hannity's ire that week. Imagine Hannity in that famous Twilight Zone episode, as the ranting Chancellor putting to death the old librarian portrayed by Burgess Meredith, and you'll get the idea. So who won the first "Enemy of the State" prize last night? To watch the segment and find out, view our YouTube here.
Great job TPM on identifying this nonsense.
Hannity thinking he can save the world in his own deluded head
So why oh why would Hannity start with Sean Penn? Perhaps it's because Penn has called him a 'whore' in front of a televised audience? Perhaps its because he won a First Amendment Award last month?
Penn also recently wrote an open letter to pResident Bush, a clear offense to Hannity. God clearly told Bush to run for President and be our first dictator, these 300 million fools and the billions beyond our borders just don't understand.
Items in the open letter that might offend Hannity:
Take a close look at your most vehement media supporters. See the fear in their eyes as their loud voices of support ring out with that historically disastrous undercurrent of rage and panic masked as "straight tough talk." How far have we come from understanding what it is to kill one man, one woman, or one child, much less the "collateral damage" of many hundreds of thousands.
I wonder who he's talking about? Hmmmmm. Are ya afraid? Well you should be.
Or maybe he thinks he is part of the second coming?
It could just be Hannity trying to impress his master Rupert, being the good little wingnut that he is. Seeing how Keith Olbermann has been climbing the mountain that is cable news this is obviously a cheap knockoff.
Keith had this to say about Hannity as he awarded him the bronze last night:
The bronze goes to Sean Hannity of Fox News Channel, establishing a new weekly segment called Enemy of the State. He selected Sean Penn as the first recipient. OK, we’ll just skip the rip-off aspect of this, Sean. If you want everyone to think of my show and my book when you launch into this segment, be my guest. But to use that phrase, the one that Roman dictators used to apply before the Centurians would go and stab their enemies in the throat?
Oh gawd what an awful site that is. Personally he is one of my top candidates for 'enemy of the state.' He goes right along with Rush, Melanie Morgan, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck and all those that preach hate with such disdain for the freedoms of the constitution.
