Hannity, Scarborough Spar Over Trayvon

Last Friday on his radio show, Sean Hannity asked if President Barack Obama compared himself to Trayvon Martin in his impromptu remarks on the George Zimmerman murder trial verdict because “he smoked pot” and “did a little blow,” according to The Daily Caller.

On Monday morning, MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough took to his “Morning Joe” show to condemn Hannity for those remarks.

“What gets interesting here is ‘Morning ‘Liberal’ Joe’ over at MSNBC attacked me,” Hannity said. “Did he attack his own network for editing the tape that edited out the question from the 911 operator? Is he black, white or Hispanic? I don’t know. I haven’t heard that. Did he ever attack any of his fellow hosts on MSNBC? Rev. Al Sharpton, known for Tawana Brawley and Freddy’s on 125th Street in New York? … Did Mr. ‘Morning Liberal Joe,’ Mr. Courageous criticize any of his fellow hosts, liberal Joe?”

Hannity went on to point out Scarborough’s failures at talk radio and his failed bid in MSNBC primetime, when he was scheduled against then-9 p.m. Fox News Channel program “Hannity & Colmes.”

“The problem here is ever since he cut his political career short, ‘Morning Liberal Joe’ has performed pretty poorly everywhere,” Hannity said. “And he begged Fox for a job. Fox didn’t want him and he goes over with all his liberal friends at MSNBC. And I think his total audience is 400,000. I mean, I even read last week this new CNN show is beating him. So I guess he has got to gin up some publicity for himself by attacking me. He trashes conservatives all the time and claims he’s a conservative, goes after talk radio all the time.
