Webloggin » Conservative Hypocrites UPDATED

I don’t understand why some conservatives eat their own. Yes I said it. Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly have made grave errors putting down some Republican presidential candidates. Hannity pushes his favorites, like Rudy Giuliani and Newt Gingrich, while apparently refusing to give equal time to folks like Tom Tancredo. Bill O’Reilly gave Tom Tancredo air time, with this preamble (my summary) “you can’t win, everybody knows you don’t have a chance to win”. What?

If someone has a link to the video of O’Reilly and Tancredo, let me know. UPDATE:
Thanks to nanc, Hot Air has the video and The Amboy Times has and commentary.

O’Reilly’s words: “You’re not going to win the presidency. You’re not going to be president.”

At this point in time in a presidential election, anybody can win, everybody has a chance. I know lots of folks who like Tom Tancredo. Is he a long shot, sure. But why not give the man a chance. Don’t slap him down in public before he gets an opportunity to get out of the starting gate and get his message out.

Tom Tancredo announced his intentions to form a presidential exploratory committee on Fox News Channel’s Fox and Friends (video here) On the same day, Barak Obama made his internet video announcement that he was also forming a committee. Then everything went downhill for Tom Tancredo, because the press were falling all over themselves reporting on Obama.
