Sean Hannity, while excoriating Obama over housing crisis, quietly snapped up hundreds of foreclosed properties

Fair enough, but real bootstrapping tycoons don’t need loan guarantees from the bad ol’ government (I’ll put money on Hannity having said something to that effect on several occasions).

One of those CNBC stockjabberers is credited with setting off the Tea Party phenomenon that sucked in the Know-Nothings before Il Douche captured their attention. Hannity bought right into that garbage, too (not a bad word from either of them about the blank-cheque bank bailouts, though). Their influence isn’t limited to what’s going on in the market, it’s about spreading the kind of toxic “free” market rhetoric that leads us into these crises again and again.

No, but we do know that he profited off of it, all the while blaming the President who had to clean up the mess without saying one bad word about his predecessor whose administration helped set the stage for it.

Again, no-one* is saying that everyone who buys low after a disaster is an immoral or unethical slug. This article is about Hannity in particular.
