Yes finnaly If this works out and hannity comes to town I will be there to root on hannity.

coward @huntingbuddy - Hannity is a coward for cancelling at the last minute. I did watch and see the new "fair and balanced" fox news commentator....Rick Santorum! Certainly he doesn't come with an agenda.

Joey, you need to read the story. @Joey j - Hannity did not cancel. The producers of his TV show (Fox Television) cancelled. Hannity said he would fly out to SLC at his own expense to debate Rocky.

Hannity The Super Hero! @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - O he is such a hero! ~ I get all warm inside knowing that he can save us from liberals in the reddest of all states.

Hannity is what we need! A perfect fool.

Amazed @Fred charles rayovac - I’m the only person, I know in California, who has heard of Rocky or Lambs. I’m the only person, I know in California, who knows where Trout Creek or the Chocolate Drops are located. Rocky, is an internal thing. I find all this hysteria strange. Folks in Folsom don’t worry about the mayors of Sacramento, Galt or San Francisco. We don’t view mayors as representing the people of California. Mayors represent cities. We see cities, like we see houses. “Don’t worry about my lawn having weeds, if you’re standing ankle deep in smelly dog excrement. The good citizens of the Central Valley don’t see the Bay Area representing California. People in SF spent too much time discovering good restaurants to worry about Fresno. Salt Lake is a city with it’s own character. If you live in Delta, worry about Delta. The people of Salt Lake could care less who you elect as your mayor. Extent this same favor to the people of Salt Lake. People in Salt Lakes live happy lives without you telling them whom to have as mayor. Why would I stress out over the mayor of LA? Is there a state, other than Utah, where there is a statewide hate campaign against a mayor of a city? By time you hit twenty, you think you would have learned that life goes on. I survived Nixon, Reagan and now Bush. Why is your stress level, dependent on the words of the mayor of SLC, if you live in Green River or Blanding?

Rocky has lost before this event takes place. Utah is a cold deck. If, Rocky walked on water, someone would point out the water drops on his ankles. Once, church members started their backbiting campaign, there was nothing Rocky could do to please these people. Remember, seeing group behavior in first grade? Once someone it pointed out as different all those children from good LDS homes cheer the name callers on. Some never advance. This is a data point. Is it fair to judge a religion on the behavior of its members?

Amazed @Casual observer - I do agree with what you say however, you do not know the history of this particular mayor. I doubt the mayor of Frisco would travel to Sacramento to protest and bad mouth what the mayor of that city wants to do. Rocky has done that several times, when the Ogden city mayor wanted to loosen the liqour laws in his city during the olympics (he wanted to make it easier to get a private club membership), Rocky was right there to critisize and try do block what he wanted to do, he did the same thing in North Salt Lake where the council and mayor voted to rezone land in NSL, the mayor was there to try to block that, and the list goes on, he critisized the mayor of West Valley City for somehting that he did not want WVC to do.

People in Utah are sick of Rocky thinking he is the mayor of Utah. We are also sick of Rocky starting out every speech stating that he speaks for everyone in Utah and the county.....when in fact he does not...that is only a few of the reasons why so many people dislike him.

If....? @Casual observer - If what you state is true:

"If you live in Delta, worry about Delta".

Why then are YOU, someone from California, concerned about what is happening in SLC?

Why then are YOU telling those of us in Utah who live outside SLC to worry about our own back yard and to be concerned with what happens in our own city?

When and if Rocky is no longer the Mayor I have no problem with him speaking out on what ever he chooses. But when he speaks as the Mayor of SLC voicing Rocky's opinions then those opinions are credited to the mayors office.

Why bring religion into the debate? I don't remember it being mentioned in the article.

:-) @Spectre 47 - I’m watching, trying to understand. It may be me. Politics is theater. It’s a sleazy drama being played out daily. Rocky is about to become history. You aren’t changing Rocky. Why stress out? All problems should be as easily resolved. Times passes and there will be a new mayor. I hope, I don’t get to see it. I will live on, even if Hilary is elected. I’ve survived Nixon, Reagan and now George Bush. Nancy is from California. Tomorrow the sun will rise.

Americans have endured worst. I can’t see the drama. I’ve seen both liberals and conservatives use political power to feather their nests. Bush is a looser. The democrats are aiming to shoot themselves in the foot again. Hilary is Bush in drag. Why do people get so worked up?

I guess you don't see it! @Casual observer - The people of SLC voted to have Rockey handle local Salt Lake issues and can care less about his personal views, which when he is given a platform, because of his statius as an elected Mayor and he speaks for himself and not the body that elected him, this is troubling for a statesman. Once he leaves the office he can stand on his soap box and scream all he wants, but for now he is living off of wages we gave him to handle local issues as a mayor, and he should just do that and stop trying to get his own TV show

Rocky is wasteing my money @Terry M. - I did not vote for Rocky to run all over the country at my expense. But since he has deceided to do I do have a question for him (if he dare's answer) Where was he when Clinton needed to be impeached? Hiding around the corner?

wasting and wasting it by the handfulls @Ripa - Who paid for the trip to Europe, who paid his wages when he choose to go protest, or did he take that day off without pay, I don't think so, I think everytime is opens his mouth to a mike that he is getting paid by you and me. We should impeach him for misuse of tax payers funds, period!

@Terry M. - I guess you don't see it, either! The people of SLC voted Rocky in not only once - but two times, KNOWING who Rocky was and is. I don't think for one second, that anyone outside Utah really believes that Rocky speaks for the majority here - I mean, how many mayors really speak for their whole city, let alone the whole state? People outside Utah are more educated than you guys give them credit for. The mayor of Ogden, which is where I reside, speaks his opinions, and as much as I disagree with him, he has that right to state his opinion just as much as I do. I still live, and the sun still shines.

From what I hear, Rocky handles SLC issues just fine.

No blinders here @Rachael C. - No I do see it, Mayor Godfrey is a goof at times as well, but he is not out calling our President a lair.
Sure Mayor Rocky has done many good things on SLC behalf and that is without question. I could really careless what the rest of the country will think about a loud mouth mayor who speaks on his on behalf, but using the name of the town were he serves leaves a impression that the rest of Utah agrees with him, which is further from the truth.

I happy that we have the right to speak out and protest, please don't get me wrong, I just feel if you are being paid by the people then you should follow the major view and put your personal views aside until your out of office.

Mr. California . . . @Casual observer - Why are you worrying about Uath issues? Doesn't that go in direct condradiction to your own words? Please realize and know the facts before opening that Golden State mouth of yours. You may know where Trout Creek is, but you haven't a clue about Utah issues, as is evident by your post. For example, consider the following:

First, people in Folsom may not worry about the mayors of Sacramento, Galt or San Francisco, because (as you put it) you don't view mayors as representing the people of California. They represent cities. Exactly! I couldn't agree more!! However, Rocky doesn't see it that way. He walks around with a cocky chip on his shoulder like he owns the state, if not more. He's a MAYOR, he should behave like one. He isn't the President, Governor, or even a State Legislator. He is the mayor of the city. As soon as he starts behaving as such, we will stop criticizing him for trying to run the state. If you were in Utah, you'd know this. That is unless your bleeding liberal eyes wouldn't allow you.

Your comment was "Is there a state, other than Utah, where there is a statewide hate campaign against a mayor of a city?" I don't know. Unlike you, I don't pretend to know the inner workings of another state. (Followed by a hypicritical diatribe about how WE should mind our own business). I ask: Is there another state, other than Utah, where the mayor tries to mess in the affairs of the entire state?

Second, you seem awful upset that we take the time to voice our opinions. Why are you so stressed about it? Life goes on. I, likewise, have survived Carter and Clinton. Why is your stress level, dependant upon the words of us here in Utah, if you live in California. Man, do you hear your hypocrisy? It shouts!!!

Third, why such hatred towards the church? Newsflash Cali-Boy: This debate has NOTHING to do with the church. This debate doesn't even come close to falling along religious lines. In fact, in many ways it doesn't fall along political lines. I know many people in my office who are Democrats that believe he is now WAY out of line. Your comments regarding the LDS religion are a true example of your bigotted retoric.

I wish you well in California. Do us a favor . . . stay there.

@Raider hater - I was wondering if the selling of Main Street started all this anger? Rocky sounds like Jerry Brown. We just smiled and went on. There's a vast difference asking a question about some matter the church was involved in than hating the church. The church doesn't affect me. I have no feeling other than I'm happy I don't have to attend the meetings. Te church isn't money out of my pocket. It is a cultural artifact in Utah. The question arises how much impact does the church have as a cultural artifact. I don't believe i the Pope. I done hate Rome.

I love that you voice your opinions. I've read two people making your point. That's a help getting a grasp of the anger here.

I grow up in Utah. My family lives in Utah. In fact, I will be missing a family event this month because I don't drive to Utah. If I'm paying to travel I want to have fun.

I'm biased. I sure am. My family are nice people. I'm not in to the LDS Church. I can't go to Utah without dodging a maze of UHP trying to scam a buck off me or go to a family event without being forced to listen about god's plan. As you can see, it easy for me to think Mormonism enters every aspect of life in Utah. I'm glad am wrong.

@Raider hater - Wow, you're sounding like more than just a raider hater on that post, "raider hater"...you should just change your name to "hater". Sounds like you not only have a chip on your shoulder about Rocky, but also California in general. What's the deal, Utah-Boy?

Yeah . . . @Rachael C. - I did sound rather mean spirited didn't I? I apologize. To be honest with you, it set me off. I should have calmed down, not that my points are incorrect, but I do agree that the delivery of those points may have been a little to harsh. I am most ashamed of the comment about Casual staying in California. That is mean. That is not how I truly feel. In fact, Casual Observer is welcome to my home state any time. I welcome anyone, and everyone.

You know the funny thing, Rachael? Even though you and I disagree on almost everything, I still respect you more than most of the habitual posters on this site. I think we help keep each other in check. You and I should rule the world, huh?

@Raider hater - Sounds like a plan...will you be my vp? LOL just one thing though - you'd have to change your sn, and your political party. =)

Hope you had a nice weekend.

@Casual observer - I agree whole-heartedly, Casual observer. Being raised in San Jose, I couldn't even tell you the name of Fresno's mayor, ever. I honestly couldn't even care less who the guy was/is, and what he's said about his personal opinions, etc. He/she did not and never will affect my life in any way. If he/she did go to dc and speak his opinion, I would, in no way, think or believe that he/she was speaking for the whole state of Cali and I wouldn't expect anyone else to think the person was speaking for Cali, because I'd like to think that people are smarter than that. There is no one person that can speak for a whole state...there is no mayor or any other elected official that can speak for their whole state or even all of their constituents. Anybody in their right mind would know that. Many mayors are outspoken on their own personal beliefs, just as legislators, governors, etc. etc. are outspoken on their personal beliefs - how else would voters know who to vote for if we never knew people's political beliefs?

The outcry over Rocky is unnecessary and mean-spirited to say the least. I don't hear these same people crying out when Buttars opens his idiotic mouth acting like he represents the state, because he surely does not represent me! He's an embarrassment to me, but I don't get all violent every time he opens his mouth, because he has a right to say what he feels.

Boys will act like boys @Rachael C. - I’m a Native Utahan. I’m not one to say California is the best place to live. California is more honest. I’ve lived in both SLC and Sacramento. The people in Sacramento are friendlier. Here I deal with the CHP. The CHP is professional. The CHP treat all drivers the same regardless of your license. Utah targets you if you have California plate and are single. Utahans have shown me that like the money Californians spend. Utahans just hate Californians. I get treated better in New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Mexico and Europe better than I get treated in Utah. I know three people here with family in Utah that won’t travel in Utah. One friend bragged to me about driving through Utah without spending a dime. You don’t need to tell Californians to stay out of Utah. Most of us try to avoid Utah. Living in Utah is like living with Hanity and Limbaugh. I didn’t like Air America for mirroring conservative radio.

What is missed not living in Utah? I saw Steve Young play in SF. We have a temple up the street. Tomorrow you can ski, golf or sail here. It’s been in the seventies all week. Here I treat Mormons like gays. They have the right to enjoy their lives as long as they don’t force their lifestyles on me. I don’t hate ether gays or Mormons. They are elements in America life.

This Rocky thing is strange. I find it humorous too.

@Casual observer - Casual observer,
You have nailed it right on with everything you just posted! Since moving to Utah, I have never seen as many mean-spirited, arrogant, racist, ignorant, oblivious, self-serving bigots in all of my life. I've lived in California and Oregon, and never, EVER witnessed such disgusting things in my whole life! I'm not saying everyone here is like that, but in my year and a half of being here, I've never witnessed more of those things...and I lived elsewhere for 28 years of my life. When I had California plates, I got stopped two times within a 3 month period - since I got my Utah plates - not once. Of course California is not perfect - no place is perfect, but atleast you get treated with respect, dignity, and equality in California. The people are friendlier on a more real level - here, it's very, extremely superficial, and you can feel people looking down on you for not walking lock-step with the majority here.

This is not what "life elevated" is supposed to be.

What we need is debate. @Fred charles rayovac - What we don't need is the "politics" of FoxNews producers getting in the way of that debate. Yesterday's story on this website became nothing more than fodder for a mud-slinging contest. If we are to believe today's story, the two men still haven't even spoken directly to each other -- this whole mess had nothing to do with either Mr. Anderson or Mr. Hannity personally.

Mr. Hannity was apparently informed by a caller to his radio program of the controversy brewing over the FoxNews cancellation, and Mr. Hannity said fine -- in spite of what the producers of the TV show said, he would be happy to fly out to SLC on his own dime to debate.

That's what we want isn't it -- a debate between these two? I don't support the extreme views of either man - they've BOTH fools, but I say, let's get this party started, let the blood flow, and may the best man win!

Rocky is going to look like the fool! @Fred charles rayovac - Debate?! When is it? Where is it? Hannity will tear him to pieces! I just can't miss it! Hopefully we can come out of this debate with Rocky losing all credibility with the public. He'll be forced to move out of state if he want's to play with politics again.

@African grey - I say have these guys have a fair and balanced debate, where Hannity allows Rocky to speak with no personal attacks and vice versa...let them state their cases with no name calling, etc...Rocky would win hands down - I don't think Hannity wants a fair debate because all he knows how to do is call names, interrupt, and twist and turn the real issues. Let Hannity and Rocky debate with a moderator asking the questions, time them, and let the other counter with a time limit. When personal attacks become involved, the one doing the attacking is automatically dq'd. It would be over in 2 minutes with Hannity being dq'd. I know this is illegal, but I'd put $10 on it. I'd like to see this.

One thing I'm grateful for @Fred charles rayovac - I am a diehard ksl fan...But Hannity is such an idiot that he forced me to turn to 570 and listen to Dr. Laura. I would never have gotten hooked on Dr. Laura if it wasn't for Hannity.
KSL please drop this brainless cheerleader....How about 3 more hours of Doug Wright. Now that guy is the greatest! I would love to listen to him!!! Dump Sean! MORE DOUG!!!!!!

no more doug wright!!!!!! @Brian C. - Enough is enough!!

One thing I'm grateful for @Fred charles rayovac - I am a diehard ksl fan...But Hannity is such an idiot that he forced me to turn to 570 and listen to Dr. Laura. I would never have gotten hooked on Dr. Laura if it wasn't for Hannity.
KSL please drop this brainless cheerleader....How about 3 more hours of Doug Wright. Now that guy is the greatest! I would love to listen to him!!! Dump Sean! MORE DOUG!!!!!!

If not Doug...Then Rabbi Schmuley! @Brian C. - If 6 hours is too much for Doug Wright...How about Rabbi Schmuley? Too bad Bonneville ever lost him, he would be a hot property and nationally syndicated too.
AND TEN GAZILLON TIMES BETTER THAN brainless cheerleader Hannity.

You need to understand what you read. @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - Do you really think Hannity has no say about the guests on his show. HIS SHOW cancelled Rocky yesterday and Hannity is calling him out today. I think, if HIS SHOW hadn't cancelled Rocky the debate would be done. Sean is pretty tough, what a hero.

Where exactly did you READ that Jonnyb? @Jonnyb - Sounds more like speculation to me.

Do you think Sean Hannity has the final word, or wouldn't his liberal co-host Alan Colmes ALSO have some say in the matter? Hummmm....

The TV show is called "Hannity and Colmes", not the Sean Hannity Show (that's Sean's Radio show), and while Sean and Alan both have (I assume) some say with regard to the guests that appear on the TV show, the producers and FoxNew have the FINAL say.

So if you insist on slinging more mud, sling it at Mr. Murdock and FoxNews. Until then, I'm happy to wait for Mr. Hannity's plane to arrive in SLC.

Oh, and I'd be curious to know if Rocky would fly to New York to debate Sean (on his own dime), or would the taxpayers of SLC end up paying for his plane ticket?

@Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - You are speculating yourself, there, uhh "wake up and smell the coffee"..you actually have no idea either. I will say this: Mr. Murdock and Faux News SUCK!

Good day.

Speculating about what Rachael? @Rachael C. - The TV show is called Hannity and Colmes - that isn't speculation, it's a fact.

With regard to the decision making process, I said "(I assume)" Sean and Alan both have some say with regard to guests -- e.g., I qualified that statement in advance.

Fact is, Murdock runs Fox and it would not be fair (in my opinion) to lay all of the blame for this on the hired personalities (Sean/Alan) for corporate decisions being made by producers.

I agree with you, Fox SUCKS, but I don't blame Sean Hannity for a decision that he MOST LIKELY didn't have any control over, EVEN THOUGH I don't care for his politics.

@Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - You are correct of the title of his tv show; however, assuming is speculation if you think about it. Murdock is nothing but a puppet of the right wing, and the fact that they cancelled Rocky, who is more intelligent and well-informed than both Murdock and Hannity combined, says a lot.

Just wake -up @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - Hannity is half of the show(most would say 75%) and clearly has significant influence in the guests on HIS show. Do you really think that Mr Murdock is dealing with the day-to-day operation of every aspect of his massive media empire? Somethings go without saying and I didn't say that Hannity cancelled Rocky. Instead, I said that is was lame to call him out after HIS show cancelled Rocky's appearance. I also question the comment Hannity made about doing it on his own dime with the follow-up "for charity"--sounds like a nice tax deduction.

@Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - LOL, Hannity is just saying that to save face. He knows, if it was an actual "fair and balanced" debate, where interrupting and name calling are prohibited, Rocky would bury him in the mud. I hope Rocky accepts his challenge, and I also hope that Fox news does not have anything to do with the rule-making on this debate.

Joey, you also need to be careful with that sarcastic blade! @Joey j - "Certainly he doesn't come with an agenda." Wow!
As if Rocky doesn't have an agenda?

We ALL have an agenda Joey, so be careful with that sarcastic blade -- it cuts BOTH ways!

Rocky is a NOBODY @Joey j - Fox cancelled because Rocky Anderson is a nobody. No one in the entire country cares about the moron. So how would having him on the show boost their ratings? It won't. So they cancelled. I would cancel him too.

Joey @Joey j - Coward? Um no. From what I've heard he cancelled because Rocky had to many stipulations for going on the air.

Nice try though.

Joey, are you still in gradeschool? @Joey j - I doubt Hannity cancelled because he is scared of Rocky Anderson! In fact he did not cancel. I think M. Anderson is being childish and it seems as though he is calling on a school yard fight. Very childish. I think he is trying to go out of office with a bang....better than a sparkle from where he was before.

Hey me too! @huntingbuddy - I will be there to support the mayor of SLC and to boo Hannity. I think this is a great debate and I would pay to see it. i think Rocky would devour Hannity face to face. I think Hannity hides to much, plus I think I a live debate would help out with the mayors ratings and the Hannity show might get a higher ranking for viewership. I stand to support our mayor and I sit down in support for Hannity, then i turn my back in disgrace.

turn it to Rocky,hahaha @E Y. - Hunnity can turn for to k... ..!Good to you and your Mayor.He is not mine.Two thumbs up-Hunnity,Boooo-Rocky.Jazz music is for You and Rocky,Hunntity Will Rock you.

huh? @hrsoccer - All your base are belong to us?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItugh-fFgg

Why? @huntingbuddy - Why did "his producers cancel" Ross C Anderson? I think this is something that KSL's investigative reporters should have found out as part of this story.

@Cleatus the Fetus - Apparently they found much more important things to talk about the show. Rosie? Rosie? You cancelled so that you could talk about Rosie? They backed out because they had no arguement. I would definitely prefer a neutral setting with debate rules. Hannity will fold once he isn't allowed to shout over the opposition and there's no way to win by hang up.

@Buster5 - Yay!!! You are absolutely correct, Buster! Hannity is a coward when it comes to actual debate. He likes to talk tough, but actually says very little.

Hannity is a WIMP watch he will cancel again @huntingbuddy - You know normally i dont agree with Rocky but hannity wimped out so i had to vote for rocky.

Ya all arent voting for a WIMP now are you??? If this comes to SLC ill be the one taking picture when Rocky has his dukes up to doop Hannity.

hey Dummy computer geek @Dumb computer geek - Read the story again only this time pay attention to the words, Hannity didn't cancel it, the Fox producers did.....

Darren Dude @Darren W. - Fox cancelled it is NOT what the first news report said. I am sure if it was made known the Fox cancelled it would have been reported in the first news report.

I think Shannity is shivvering in his booties and is using Fox as the scape goat. If Fox did cancel it i wanna hear it from the wimp that cancelled a second hand source.

This is a better stench containment strategy @huntingbuddy - SLC voters have created their own cesspool and nominated Rocky head turd. The best thing to do now is to contain the stench, rather than give it national exposure. This way Hannity can come to town and fumigate and leave the sewage behind without subjecting the entire nation to this floater again. When someone asks who farted, the last thing you want to do is take a wiff.

Just look at that picture at the top of the page @Jason T. - and think to yourself...floater. It just won't go away.

A battle of baboons! @huntingbuddy - Since each one is only a cheerleader for their respective causes and neither one is interested in what is best for America. I hope they both lose! I think Rocky is an idiot for wanting to drag our president through the mud. I think that Hannity is a hypocrit because he was all for impeaching our last president.
We need to end this madness of impeachment because we disagree with a president's politics.
I am a democrat but I believe in honoring the man who is our president.
ALL of us, republican or democrat should honor whoever is our president. even if he doesn't deserve it we should honor the office...Because...We are all Americans!
God Bless President Bush
God Bless America

Why charge for it @huntingbuddy - If they are going to give the money to charity, why not just make admission free? Seems logical to me.

Kudos to Insannity Having been humiliated by his previous retreat, he will try to save face by actually debating Anderson. Go get him Rocky, and may the farce be with you.

obi @Obi wan liberali - It's amazing how many people that post here read a story, and haven't a clue as to what they just read....read the arcticle again obi, but try a little slower you'll understand it......or maybe you won't

And let me guess @Darren W. - You believe the story? "It was the producers". Yeah right. Insannity had no idea how much face he would lose by backing out. Now that he looks like Hannity-Fil-A, he figures he'd better bite the bullet and take on Rocky.

Funny Obi... @Obi wan liberali - You believe the story when it suits your own views, or when the "speculation" of something fishy gives your buddy Rocky a leg up. BUT, w7When it turns out that the TV show's producer's and FoxNews were responsible for the whole mess, and not Mr. Hannity, all of a sudden you see a conspiracy.

Sean Hannity doesn't have the final word with respect to the TV show (which BTW, is called "Hannity and Colmes"), and I'm equally sure that Sean's liberal co-host Alan Colmes doesn't have the final word either.

I suspect that neither Mr. Hannity nor Mr. Colmes was particularly happy about the decision to cancel Mr. Anderson's appearance, but that decision wasn't made by EITHER of them -- it was made by Fox Television.

So cast stones if you will, but throw them at Mr. Murdock. You'll have your opportunity to toss a few at Mr. Hannity when he arrives in SLC.

I'd respond to your post @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - But my producers won't let me.

Now THAT's was funny! @Obi wan liberali - Have a nice day Obi....

Gracias amigo @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - And may the farce be with you always.

Obi... @Obi wan liberali - I would vote on your comment, but there's no catagory for complete moron...or is that ex-mormon?

Oh, come on Claybuster... @Claybuster - I don't agree with Obi most of the time, but THAT was funny.

Claybuster, If I was a complete moron @Claybuster - I'd see you at the meetings. BTW, you are welcome at http://www.exmormon.org any time. 10% increase in income and Sundays off. It's all good.

May the farce be with you.

@Claybuster - what does moronism have to do with ex-mormonism? leave religion out of it.

Obi @Obi wan liberali - Try getting a job in TV and then you will understand, I appologize for my earlier post about you reading the story again because I thought you didn't "get it". It's obvious that you do not know how a TV station is ran therefore making it easy to critisize something you know nothing about....

I'm sorry from the bottom of my bottom......

@Obi wan liberali - If the debate were to be held today, who would you side with?

What happen to Option 3. for neither

Go Rocky, I share your sentimism @Frank L. - Why is everyone so afraid of what Rocky has to say about the war? In America we have Freedom of Speech, as well as other freedoms. Which gives you the right to voice your opinion. Rocky has some very valid points. As do other political leaders and people in general. Sean Hannity is good at voicing his opinion. He thinks his is the only one worth listening to. He's paid mucho bucks for being controversial and arrogant. Wake up America. War is not a bed of roses, where everyone comes home alive, unharmed or uninjured. Do you want it to go on forever, affecting many more families in the US and Iraq? What progress have we made, or are we making? What are our goals in coming to an end to this war? Do we fight the entire world in order to "liberate" others?

I don't think Rocky would last two seconds.

@Rachel L. - That'd be longer than hannity lasted before he wimped out on his show today.

Get A Clue @Rachel L. - Hannity is a radio personality, an entertainer; he's good at spreading hatred and ignorance, and that's about it.

@Fred charles rayovac - And he's the only one that spreads hatred and ignorance? Hmmm. Interesting.

Didn't Say He Was @Rachel L. - Rush Limbaugh is pretty good a spreading hatred and ignorance too, but the best if Bill O'Reily. But don't worry, Hannity is handsome and has a great smile, which makes it much easier to swallow his foolish rantings.

As for me, I just love the man.

Sean Hannity is @Fred charles rayovac - a Republican [removed]. Just like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly. Anderson is a Democrat [removed]. Let's got watch a debate between 2 corrupt political party hacks. There you go. Fun stuff.

Look at the KSL Pole @Fred charles rayovac - This "radio personality", this "entertainer", is getting almost 75% of the support (74% as of 6:30 AM this morning). What that means is that 74% of the people in SLC support Mr. Hannity's views, over those of their elected Mayor.

Maybe, just maybe, if Rocky were representing his constituents, we wouldn't need a radio personality, and entertainer, to fly out here and debate the mayor. Or maybe, just maybe, it is the mayor who should be impeached for not doing what the majority of his constituents want. As of 6:30 AM, it seems there are more than enough votes to get the job done!

While I agree with you... @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - I completely agree with you, however the data you cite is a little suspect. 74% of a KSL poll is hardly objective. After all, the majority of the votes on that poll would be from concerned-thinking individuals who care about current events, and the people who create them. That's hardly 74% of the people in SLC....

On the other hand, Rocky enjoys the support of the "great unwashed masses". The majority of his votes (For those few vocal liberals who actually can read and write, please don't get offended, notice I say majority here) come from the inner city folks who blindly check whatever name has a "D" next to it. After all in their world it's the "D's" that promise them to keep the welfare and social support coming.

IMHO, the government of SLC is a blight on an otherwise good state. DeeDee was no saint, but Rocky makes her look like one.

Please as a conservative @Aceohearts - Republican try and maintain a civil discourse
without school yard name calling. Is that possible with your type?

You have a point. @S W. - I mistyped one of the statements in my former post. I didn't mean to imply that the majority of liberals were illiterate. Having said that here follows an update to that line in my previous post:

"(For those few vocal liberals who actually can read and write in english, please don't get offended, notice I say majority here)"

Sorry for the "school yard name calling"

Aceohearts... @Aceohearts - Let me see if I can put a finer point on my perspective of this issue – forget about the KSL poll if you will, but your argument as to whether or not the poll is objective, could just as easily be argued for many of the national polls regarding Bush.

So for the sake of argument, whatever the actual numbers are, I believe that neither Rocky Anderson, nor George W Bush has the support of the majority of his respective constituents.

Now then… those who support Rocky and oppose Bush, in spite of what the majority of Utahans or SLC constituents might want, seem to put forth the argument that Rocky is simply standing up for what he believes is right, and is pressing forward with his agenda and his opinions in spite of the opposition, and they admire him for taking a stand. I also admire those to stand up for what they believe in, even if I don’t agree. But I also believe that democratically elected representatives should put aside their own personal beliefs, and should “reflect” the views, and support the agenda of the majority of their constituents.

So, Rocky is standing up for what he believes is right. Rocky is moving forwarding with his agenda, in spite of what the majority of his constituents think. But haven’t we heard that same rhetoric before. Why yes, we have, from George W. Bush, who despite the opinions and wishes of the American people, is continuing to move forward with what he believes is right. In terms of principle, there is no difference.

Yet those who support Rocky for taking a stand (because Mr. Bush is not doing what the majority of Americans want) and admire him for that, want to impeach Mr. Bush, when in fact Mr. Bush is following the exact same “path” by pressing forward with his agenda (and standing up for what HE believes is right). Both men believe they are right, yet neither one really has the support of the majority. It’s an interesting problem for BOTH men.

So, as a matter of principle, if we are going to apply the “rules” equally and fairly, then both men should be impeached, as neither one is doing what the majority of their constituents think is right.

As my comments reflected yesterday, I don’t care for the extremist views of either Rocky Anderson or Sean Hannity. In my mind, both men are far too extreme and neither man has his finger on the real pulse of this country (or this state). Hypothetically speaking, I wouldn’t vote for either one if they ran for president.

Wake Up And Think @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - Thanks! I'm drinking my coffee right now. I love it black; what about you?

A KSL poll does not prove that 74% of SLC folks support Mr. Hannity, but only that 74% of folks visiting this KSL website or listen to the radio support Hannity. Do you really believe all people in Utah love KSL that much?

I live in SLC and voted for Rocky, so I don't know what your talking about with regard to representation. After all, Rocky was voted Mayor two times and probably would have won a third time if he had decided not to.

Hannity is a loud mouthed, ignorant fool for fools who are foolish enough to take him seriously.

Fred, please read my other comments before you start yelling. @Fred charles rayovac - I don't care for Mr. Hannity any more than I care for Mr. Anderson. BOTH are, in my opinion, loud mouthed, foolish, and out of touch!

I've got 16 @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - different IP's at my work place. I'll get that Hannity vote even higher....wink wink nod nod say no more.

I agree @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - I think Rocky is a disgrace to the people of SLC. He is an embassassment. If 75% of the people taking the poll support Hannity, then maybe Rocky needs to pack his bags and move to Washington State where he thinks he is appreciated!!

Yes! @Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - Rocky is a disgrace to Salt Lake City, Utah, and the nation. Residents of SLC: Please get this braying donkey out of office!

@Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - umm honey..those aren't all slc voters..I voted, and I don't live in SLC....anyone on this site can vote..thought you'd know better, wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee.

Good point, but it doesn't help your position. @Rachael C. - In fact, I'll be happy to concede the point that anyone can vote on this pole. I didn't really believe that 78% (supporting Hannity) was realistic for Salt Lake residents anyway. That 78% of the state at large would feel that way, comes as no surprise at all.

However, given that Mr. Anderson has repeatedly made speeches and claims that his views represent those of his state, are absolutely false, and that fact is borne out by the poll numbers!

As you so rightly pointed out, anyone can participate in the pole, so whether from SLC, Utah, or anywhere else, those numbers clearly show that Mr. Anderson's views are NOT shared by the majority of those participating in the poll.

And finally, the poll itself is not biased or confusing or misleading in any way, any 5 year old could understand the simple question of who's side are you on?

So, regardless of who is participating in that poll, the question is, if the debate were held tomorrow, who would you support, 78% said they would support Hannity. I'm sorry if you don't like the black and white results, but the results are what they are.

Finally, if you read all of my comments on this subject, then you know that I am more moderate -- not extreme left or right -- and that I feel both Mr. Anderson AND Mr. Hannity are very extreme in their views. I look forward to the debate however, and respect that each man has a right to his own opinion, and I accept the poll results, even if the margin is higher than it might be in a more structured and broader scope. The numbers simply do not show that the majority support Mr. Anderson.

@Wake-up-and-smell-the-coffee - I don't think anyone believes that the majority of this state are in support of Rocky..never implied that whatsoever; however, you cannot compare SLC numbers to the rest of the state in this poll...these are the people who really cared enough about this subject to vote, and you can vote more times than once, so this poll is not credible...it's entertainment; however, I would agree that the majority of people in this state are opposed to anything that Rocky says or does, even if they would agree otherwise, so those numbers wouldn't surprise me even if the poll was a semi-trustworthy one.

If I knew the debate would be a credible, civil debate with no personal attacks, etc...I would look forward to it as well - I just don't think that Hannity would be interested in a debate of facts.

Rachael... @Rachael C. - I just don't think either man would be interested in a debate of the facts. It will be a dog and pony show, a political cock fight, and while it may be bloody and morbidly entertaining, neither man's views respresent the majority. We might as well give them both pistols at 10 yards and flip a coin.

Freddy @Fred charles rayovac - And Rocky doesn't spread hatred and ignorance too? Man you are a sheep....

Better than anything else on TV This would be awesome. Although both have good points at times, I cant stand listening to either too long. Yet in a sick way...I would pay money to be there and watch them eat each other. Just like watching two gladiators...and in the end the only one that will end up on top will be KSL. Beautiful!!! Televise it live and fill the Energy Solution Arena. When and where?

I'm with you @Nancy S. - I can't listen to either of them for very long. Can you imagine having to work with either one of these arrogant, rambling men on a daily basis? They should be forced to live in the same home for a year as punishment for their crimes against our eardrums.

You just gave me a GREAT idea.... @Nancy S. - They should hold it at the Energy Soutions Arena. That way when it's all over and Hannity goes home, they (Energy Solutions) can come in and haul the toxic remains of Mr. Anderson out to the west desert for a proper burial.

Not that I'm implying that Rocky's body itself is toxic, but his thought processes are most certainly radioactive.

Debate? There won't even be a debate.

Yeah there won't be @Rem - Rocky is a goof retard and it will show. He will lie lie lie and play on everyone's fears.

Agreed, no debate, @Brian D. - After all in a "live" debate Hannity will not be able to mute when he disagrees, wont be able to hang up and then rant his point of view, will not be able to talk over the other person while camera closes in on him...and lets take time to ponder the thought that maybe, just maybe Hannity can actually discuss an issue insted of asking his normal "well how would you..." question. Just my thoughts.

Agreed @John F. - My guess is Hannity won't show. He's all talk but can't stand to take the stage in a debate format. Anderson will be crushing him... if Hannity shows up!

Rocky may be a @Brian D. - liberal activist but I wouldn't call him a goof retard! The man is everything but that. He's a pretty smart guy even if you don't agree with him. He's been able to pull the wool over the eyes of Salt Lake City voters and that, in and of itself, is smarter than anything you've done, Brian D.

I don't like Rocky, either, but don't call him a retard or a goof. He's far from that.

impeach anderson Why the heck isnt rocky busy worrying about salt lake and his duties that he has in salt lake?! he needs to do what he swore he would when he stepped into office and help the city he represents instead of wasting his time in Washington (state) rubbing his nose up the liberals butts!

DOWN WITH ROCKY!!!

Rocky empeach! @backphireu2 - Eocky is looser,should do what his swore for or Go home.

Hatred @backphireu2 - Nice display of hatred, pal. Keep listening to the Knee-Jerk-Anti-Liberal-Proganda. Be a true believer and hate some more! You get 'em!

Hatred @Fred charles rayovac - I didn't read any hatred in backphireu2's comment. He is just stating his disapproval of the mayor abusing his polictical office and embarassing SLC and Utah.

You need to understand the Liberal Mentality @Harry kerr - If someone does not agree with a liberal, then they are full of hate.

If a liberal does not agree with a conservative . . .they are "enlightened".

Honestly, I used to be a Hannity fan, until got full of himself. I was even a Rocky fan when he ran for office, until he showed himself to be a two faced person with more personal agendas than public duties.

My personal favorite Rocky moment . .when he fought against Nordstroms leaving the Crossroads mall for Gateway saying it would be a disaster for downtown SLC. . .right up until the LDS church purchased the mall . . then he publically criticized the LDS church for not letting Nordstroms leave crossroads. A complete flip flop that would trump even John Kerry or Mitt Romney.

(Have I offended everyone yet? If you cant tell, I am conservative, but there are even some conservatives I dont like)

Small Disagreement @Belching Bucko - Using those labels for people it seems to me, when a Liberal disagrees with a Conservative that liberal's new label becomes "Unpatriotic"

Well put, Belcher. @Belching Bucko - I too was a big Hannity fan, I even got a book that he signed and have a picture of myself with him. But, like Rush Limbaugh Hannity has become big time. He's become wealthy and powerful and as a result has become "out of touch" with his listening base, just like Limbaugh. Why people continue to listen to their Republican rhetoric I will never know. I disagree with Rocky on many issues, however, he has his right to spew his rhetoric. What bothers me about Rocky is he uses his position as Mayor of Utah's capitol city as a podium to spew his left agenda. As a Mayor of Salt Lake, he shouldn't be travelling to Washington State to discuss impeachment of the President or Global Warming. Rocky should be at City Hall addressing problems and issues that relate to Salt Lake City itself. Rocky abuses his position and that is why he is so hated.

I cant stand Rush @Cankerpuss - Hannity I can only take in very small doses, and I dont think I have listened to him in over a year.

I wish we could just get Judge Joe Brown to solve all Americas issues. :-P

If someone does not agree with a liberal, then they are full of hate. @Belching Bucko - You forgot a few.

If you don't agree, you're also a racist, a bigot, a chauvinist, a moron, oh, and let’s not forget, a war-mongering Fascist.

I agree with you on the Nordstrom’s issue too, but I was very impressed with their original response too -- that if the city (Rocky) would not let them move to Gateway, then they would simply close their doors and leave the state altogether. That certainly shut him up!

And I too, have watched the Hannity and Colmes show on more than a few occasions, and listened to my "3 hours a day" of Sean on the radio, and I too, have grown weary of his extreme right-wing opinions, just as I have grown weary of listening to Rocky's claims that he represents the views of all Utahans!!!

I can't wait for this debate. I think it would be cool to watch the dust settle, and watch the entire crowd of bewildered and speechless people walk out of the auditorium, wondering 'what in the world did I ever seen in that guy.'

So once again, you left-wing liberals want to make the bed, but don’t want to lay in it, right Fred? @Fred charles rayovac - Your buddy the mayor call for the impeachment of Mr. Bush, and you jump up and down cheering like some giggly child who just got a new sucker, but when someone calls for the impeachment of Mr. Anderson… oh, no, we can’t have that – that that's just plain hatred.

Talk about responding to "knee-jerk" propaganda, dude, you take the cake!

You and your buddy the mayor made that bed, so you might as well get comfortable.

Go Sean. You are our hero! A lot of people think Sean Hannity is a big bully. A blowhard, arrogant jerk who never lets other people get a word in edgewise because that will only allow others to see what an idiot he is. People say he is a liar and a fool. But I think he's wonderful and a real hunk.

Sean will have no problem proving there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, just witing to be found. He will easily prove that everytyhing our dear leader President Bush has predicted about this wonderful occupation has come true. This has been a cakewalk, and we have accomplished our mission. I defy Rocky from proving otherwise.

President Bush is a wondeful, honest and brilliant leader. And Dick Cheney is also a handsome and beguiling genuius. And Karl Rove is one of the most handsome men in America. And Scooter Libby is Innocent of all charges. I can't wait to see true intellect and honesty triumph during this showdown between lies and honesty and accountability. May the best man win!!!

I only wish the beautiful and charming Ann Coutler and the athletic, handsome and drug free Rush Limbaugh could also be there for what will be a wonderful mopping of the floor. Truth will prevail. Iraq is a wonderful success, just as our leaders predicted.

Go republicans. I am proud to be one of us.

@Janis T. - I speak for all Hannity fans everywhere when I ask do I detect just a smidge of sarcasm there, Janis? Or is it just me? I speak for Rory Shackleford, Esq. when I say you should have used a ~ in your comment. It is the universal symbol of sarcasm.

Please govern yourself accordingly.

the-hand-of-justice~

"Sean Hannity is my Hero!"

You're Smart @The_hand_of_justice - You're pretty smart to detect sarcasm without the use of the ~ comment.

The sad part is that it appears the ditto heads dittoed the post, taking it for a real opinion. If Janis T.'s opinion is real, and two folks dittoed it, all three are wearting rose colored classes.

@Janis T. - I'm glad that you think our politicians and political commentators are cute. That goes a long way in qualifications for the job... In fact, it might be the only qualifications the people you mentioned have.

If Sean Hannity really would have no problem "proving there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, just waiting to be found" why hasn't he done it already? Why wait for a challenge by Rocky Anderson?

Even if he did somehow manage to do what you think he can, that's still a positive effect that Rocky had on the situation, being the instrument that started the ball rolling.

John @John R. - Being cute is the qualification for politicians and all of us guys here at the floral shop thing Rocky is the cutest.

I Love The Man @Janis T. - I too love the man.

What I love most about Sean Hannity is that I feel the spirit freedom each time I surrender my thoughts to man who knows everything, espcially that all Democrats, at all times, no matter what, are wrong, unless they happen to agree with Bush and Cheney. I love that I don't read newspaper articles, for Mr. Hannity knows, deep in his heart, that the vast majority of newspapers are neck deep in liberal conspiracy, like the New York Times whose editorials clearly favored an invation of Iraq. Those liberal journalists. Rotten every single one of them!

O I love the man.

speak for your self @Janis T. - I have better heros than a idiot radio talk show host like Hannity. I've tried to listen to his show, but the dude is up bush's but so far I can smell it in my car. I think I'd rather listen to DR. Lara on my commute home. Unless your pro bush you cant get a word in on his show. GET OFF THE AIR YA BIG DOPE!

Gp Sean, You are our hero @Janis T. - Janis T

You are the best.

I love your posts.

Especially your analogy of "Our Dear Leader"

Why don't you write a few letters to the Editor in the Tribune or Morning Deseret News or even our National Papers.

How about an opinion piece in the Tribune.

We want more.

A fan

@Janis T. - JANIS, WHAT ROCK ARE YOU LIVING UNDER, THIS WAR IS NOTHING SHORT OF A JOKE, WASTED BILLIONS, KILLED 3000 PLUS, WOUNDED TENS OF THOUSANDS. IT IS GOING NO WHERE FAST. HANNITY IS SO BENT ON DEMACRATS LOSING HE CAN NOT SEE PAST HIS NOSE. I WISH YOU AND EVERY ONE ELSE WOULD WAKE UP AND SEE THIS WAR IS A MESS WITH NO END IN SIGHT. THERE HAS BEEN FIGHTING IN THE MIDDLE EAST SINCE DAY ONE IT WILL NEVER STOP. WE AS AMERICANS CAN NOT AND WILL NOT IMPORT A DEMOCKRACY OVER THERE. BUSH, CHENY,RUMY, ARE IDIOTS. WHATCH THE NEWS FOR JUST ONE DAY IT IS UGLY OVER THERE WE ARE GETTING WHIPPED BY PEOPLE WHO JUST DON'T CARE. BRING THE TROOPS HOME PROTECT THE BORDER AND THE PEOPLE OF THE USA. NOT LOST SHEEP PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST. LET THEM FIGHT IT OUT LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN DOING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.GO ROCKY

[Please don't shout with ALL CAPS.]

Hook, line, and sinker @Janis T. - This is how brilliant most conservatives are. They vote overwhelming support of Janis' post never catching the fact that she's setting you up! It's all sarcasm. This proves what many of us have known for a long time, Utahns only care about the words coming out of someone's mouth. They are eager to ignore the spin, the actions, and the contradictions, as long as the words sound nice. Why else would this state still have the most support for George W Bush? He talks a great talk. But that's not enough for this cowboy.

Rocky Needs A Long Vacation Before Rocky utters another word. I would like to see KSL listeners who are against Rock to have a fund raiser to buy Rocky a one way ticket to Iraq. Let's see how brave and outspoken Rocky is when he is outside of the protection of the U.S. military. Mr. Anderson needs a vacation from his reality to the real reality of the world. I would like to see if Rocky's supporters would spring and purchase a return trip ticket for Rocky. Once Rocky has had a chance to refresh his memory as to the importance of freedom, maybe he will better understand the importance to promoting freedom throughout the world.

Uhhhhh @Mark A. - Is it really freedom if it's forced upon you?

Freedom @John R. - Freedom isn't free. Freedom has to be protected. The unfortunate thing is that sometimes war is the machine that protects our freedom. But one thing is sure, I am certain that if there was a draft and Rocky was 18 he be running to Canada.

The funny thing Harry @Harry kerr - Is that we are all less free now than we were before Bush took office.

@Harry kerr - Yeah. Check out the new posted article about all the violations under the guise of the Patriot Act. Super.

@Harry kerr - Thanks for answering a question I didn't ask, and twisting the argument around.

I agree that freedom isn't free, and sometimes war is required to protect it.

This isn't one of those times.

Yeah,Rocky,trip to see soldiers! @Mark A. - Governor was there twice,once Iraq,once Afganistan.Rocky should go to show his patriotizam on field,does he know how many OUR SLC men and women are in war,NOW.Are the man,Rocky,SLC Mayor.

Agreed again... @Mark A. - I will help pitch in for that ticket as long as all the Bush supporters are willing to pitch in and and send Bush and his war monger crew there too...anti up all!

go hannity I can't wait for Hannity to come and completely shut down old Rocky, how did he make it into office anyway? Payaso

Go Away Rocky It's sad that this joke of a mayor tries to represent us with his crazy left political agenda. Just go away Rocky and don't ever come back. Jane Fonda and Tim Robbins need you in Hollywood.

amen! @Scott J. - Couldn't have said it better myself!

I agree. Everyone should support Hannity. Rocky should be sent back to the rock pile!!!!!
Hey Mayor Anderson what have you done for your city lately?????? Can not hear you!!! Louder!!!
That is what I thought NOTHING!!!

Spoken like a true fascist @Blob - "Everyone Should" -- spoken like a true fascist.

HAHAHA Please Rocky accept! PLEASE!

Hannity will verbally, mentally, politically, logically, give you an old fashion beat down. I hope this happens! Rocky needs to be exposed for the moron that he is.

Rocky needs to be exposed for the moron that he is. @Steveo K. - Uh, Rocky has already done that himself. What is scary is the people that blindly idolize and follow him. He has proven time and time again that he is a liar, a thief, has no morals, and would sell his own mother if he could be on TV. He has done everything that he claims that the President has done and more. What and embarassment and a fool he is. Thanks for re-electing him!

Moron @Harry kerr - Do you think Hannity the moron is able to expose Rocky as moron? I didn't know such things were capable of a moron.

@Harry kerr - What is it with you folks? Rocky speaks out against the president means he has no morals?

Only a blind follower of Hannity or some other rabid right winger would say such a thing.

Please Mr. Kerr, explain his lack of morality and lying.

I hope you can sound like you aren't regurgitating thoughts of right wing pundits.

Mayor HeCoridini Impeach DeeDee OOps I mean Rocky they both look the same and are both loosers!!!Hannity will rip him or her a new one so he can talk twice the crap!!!Rocky has no man card just flashbacks from his flower days!!!

" argument is so perfect ." his argument is so perfect that you could never stand up against it."

Gosh Rocky, Perfect, really? This I gotta hear.

Yes,let hear it Hannity,let make Rocky having hard time.Do it for All american patriots in SLC.go for it.

Main event be there kids I will bring "welcome to the main event" music to the next scheduled gathering sense Hannity WIMPED out tonight. WIMP WIMP Hannity.

Why????? Why don't we do everyone a favor and impeach Rocky Andersen?

If you live @Scott S. - in SLC...give it a try. Most likely your out there somewhere. Fir neat.

Why????? Why don't we do everyone a favor and impeach Rocky?

Better Idea @Scott S. - I have a better idea. Let's impeach the president.

Fred @Fred charles rayovac - I agree. America needs to stop playing blind followers to Bush. He went into this war under false pretenses and is keeping it going for the same reasons. It's Viet Nam all over again.

Round One Hannity chickens out.

FINNALY IS RIGHT... I would love to some one put Hannity in his place and call him on his lies and deceit. Lies that do nothing but trick uninformed listeners with his propaganda on his radio show! Hannity is nothing more than a mouth piece for the White House and an administration that lied and deceived the people of this great country.

GO ROCKY WE SUPPORT YOU AND THE TRUTH!!!

Let the truth be heard I would love to some one put Hannity in his place and call him on his lies and deceit. Lies that do nothing but trick uninformed listeners with his propaganda on his radio show! his nothing more than a mouth piece for the White House and an administration that lied and deceived the people of this great country.

GO ROCKY WE SUPPORT YOU AND THE TRUTH!!!

I hate Rocky Anderson... Hate is actually a little weak to what I really feel towards him. I hope Hannity humiliates Rocky Anderson. I agree with impeaching our "Mayor" if we could :) I just plain dislike people who spend time debating over shoulda woulda coulda crap. I bet he thinks the troops in Iraq have been wasted as well just like the other fools. It's a sad sad world of political leaders we live with these days. Everyone persuaded by popularity it seems like and don't THINK before they speak. Goooooooooooo Hannity!

Anderson is pathetic! Rocky Anderson is as great a disgrace of a politician as I've ever seen!

He is a awful mayor and sticks his nose into everything where it doesn't belong.

Just the thought this ignorant stooge of a man makes my stomach turn.

Sean Hannity will destroy Anderson's credibility (like he ever has any) and show him as the complete idiot he is!

Anderson is pathetic!

Supporting Rocky here! Rocky is not without support in his agenda. He is representing many concerned citizens.

The point is, Bush led an illegal war against a soverign nation and didn't even have the support of the U.N. and nor did many of our ally pledge any support.

Bush has made the world a more dangerous place by initiating this war, he has trampled over the rights of the American people with such things as illegal surveillance and many inclusions of the Patriot Act, and 650,000 innocent Iraqi citizens have lost their life because of this war(according to Johns Hopkins University)..


It is time for the American people to send a message to the world that most of us are rational and considerate human beings who do not support this illegal war, and that our public servant that we hired screwed up.

Bush is an employee of the American people. That doesn't mean that he doesn't answer to his employer just because he's serving as president. He STILL has to be ACCOUNTABLE!

~ Utah Pirate Radio

Hummm @R T. - So I guess Rocky Anderson, as an "employee" of the people of SLC, should be equally atuned (and accountable) to the wishes of the people HE serves, and should keep is personal opinions to himself, and represent those of the majority.

Or, are your rules only applicable to those who don't share your views? So it would seem!

Of course Bush is accountable, but if your logic is applied, and if Bush should be impeached for not serving the needs and wishes of the people he represents, then Rocky should share the same fate, because his views and actions certainly do not follow those of his constituents.

R.T. get a clue @R T. - Hey R.T. didn't that same so called "soverign nation" rape and pilage Kuiwate? They raped and murdered thousands up thousands of innocent people... But thats ok right?

That same "soverign nation" signed a document agreeing to allow UN inspectors to monitor them. Then in the late 90's BROKE THAT AGREEMENT and refused inspectors and ejected them from Iraq. A voilation of their own signed agreement.

R.T. you know nothing about what you speak.

You blame the entire war on Bush... YET all you left wing libs ALWAYS seem to forget or ignore the fact the president CANNOT get approval to go to war alone. Congress voted... Republicans and Democrates right? Guess what the vote to go to war passed!!!!
Yes fools... Democrates as well the majority ruled and it happend. Deal with it.

You simpletons need to get your facts straight!

Bush lied @Steveo K. - "YET all you left wing libs ALWAYS seem to forget or ignore the fact the president CANNOT get approval to go to war alone. Congress voted..."


Bush misrepresented the facts. He KNEW previously to announcing that Saddam had WMD's that he had no such thing. There were many of our allies, with intelligence that Bush was wrong, and Bush knew about it.
Thats why many of our allies didn't follow us into war. Thats why NATO didn't support it.

Bush lied about the facts to get us into Iraq.

Had he not lied, he wouldn't have had local support either.

Fact is... RT @R T. - It isn't the fact that Rocky has opinions or that he climbs onto his soap box to voice them, it is simply that he uses his title of Mayor when he spews his rhetoric...

He is entitled to his opinion, he is entitled to voice it as Ross Anderson... but when he uses his elected office to voice his opinion he is representing the entire population of SLC... not proper for any elected official.

Ross is a public servant just as the President is, if one is wrong and should be held accountable then we should hold them both accountable. Using YOUR standard, neither of them is doing the job they were elected to do.

IMPEACH ROCKY ANDERSON ROCKY IS FULL OF HOT AIR. IMPEACH ROCKY ANDERSON!!!

Let's Get Ready To R U M B L E! KSL, please be sure to do a follow-up on this pending debate and let everyone here know when and where the debate will be occuring as I will be in attendance. Thank you very much.

"Hannity is my Hero!"

Those who disagree with this above quote are now free to proceed with giving me red votes and tearing me, a Hannity fan, apart. Go ahead now. I'm braced.

I LOVE THE MAN @The_hand_of_justice - When Hannity slices those liberals to pieces on the air, metaphorically, of course, my heart beats with the true pride of a patriot. I love yelling and sounds of righteous indignation, and most of all, I love jingoism...uhh..I mean patriotism, and I love his full head of hair and handsome smile.

Don't brace yourself; embrace the man.

@Fred charles rayovac - Beautiful sarcasm there, Fred. I voted you "Funny". Now, where did I put one of my spare ~'s? I forgot to put on at the end of my "Hannity is my Hero!" quote in the last few comments I made.

I may listen to him from time to time, and agree with some of his rantings er comments, but I generally turn him off after an hour or so. Just too thick and crazy, especially when he's arguing and tells the lib to"get of the phone you big dope". It can be amuzing, but it gets old sometimes.

Even so, I don't like Rocky much, so I am rooting for Hannity in this debate. I hope he doesn't chicken out this time, or he will not be a hero to anyone ever again.

"Hannity is my Hero!"~

Rocky Anderson The guy has issues, face it! He needs to grow up and get over himself. I've never met a man so full of himself as Rocky. He makes bogus arguments and because he's an "attorney" he thinks those arguments are fact. Well, that's just it. He's just arguing like a good attorney but his arguments are false. Rocky is a freak, has mental issues and doesn't belong in Utah. Do us all a favor Rocky and move to Europe where you'd fit in perfectly!

Why is it @Jeffrey G. - that in Utah if you have a different opinion than those of the local heritage,they always tell you to move?

pic of Rocket J. Squirrel.... is it just me, or does the picture of the Rocket-meister look like Mr. Rogers on crack??

You know the debate I'd pay to see.... Rocky and Hannity are as apples and oranges as you can get when it comes to a debate. The debate I'd pay good money to see would be Sean Hannity vs. Randi Rhodes. I'll tell you right now this gal would tear ol' Sean to shreds on any subject pertaining to the current administration or the war. Keep in mind I'm not even a big Randi fan, but this lady is knowledgable and tough spoken and her understanding of the political process is something even a die hard conservative would have to admire.

PS> As I understand it, she's wanted to debate many of the conservative male talk show hosts and has made several offers to do so, and all of them have turned her down thus far.... ;)

Too Much Hype I’m interested in seeing this happen, but I don’t think either of these guys is the best their side has to offer. I think a debate between them would just end up being an argument between the most extreme of both sides. It certainly won’t be a reasonable discussion backed by evidence to support them. It will breakdown to nothing more than rhetoric that everyone has heard too much of already.

The mindless and emotionally driven support for this president is nothing short of amazing to behold Hannity is nothing but a loyalist of the establishment. When it COUNTS, he's just another government loyalist and government suck up.

If this evil, lying, corrupt president were a democrat, Hannity would be tearing him apart and we all know it. You bush supporters who are clinging to ANYTHING to feel good about when it comes to this disaster of a president, you know it to be the truth that Hannity would be ripping him if bush were a democrat (and had done the EXACT same things!)

I'm so ashamed of utahns. When I was a kid, utahns were smarter than to follow a fraud like bush. Most of you have bought into orrin hatch's lies/double talk and made him a career politician so I'm not surprised and the ignorant support for bush.

Utahns, you've been royally HAD. You supported a president who has crumbled apart and shown his true lying colors. The so called "patriot" act is pure tyranny, and it's now been admitted that the F.B.I. is HIDING the number of times it has used/abused it.

There is NOTHING about this president to support unless you abandon all of the so called "conservative" principles you claimed to have.

This president is a fraud of a "conservative" (as if that term means anything anymore).

Some of rocky's reasons for wanting bush impeached are INCOMPLETE, but are mostly correct.

The only way to support bush is to shut the brain off, turn on the phony "patriotism," fly the flag, and mindlessly hope for the best. Utahns used to know better.

It's about that document... @Patriot Act Is Pure Fascism .. - Ahhh... spoken like a true Constitutionalist. Be careful, in these parts thats synonymous with Communist. "By the People, For the People"... ? Sounds like Commie talk to me...

"By Halliburton for Citibank"... now THATS Americana !!

Yes, Utahns should be as smart as liberals and believe the following: @Patriot Act Is Pure Fascism .. - To be a good little liberal:

You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese, Iranian, and North Korean communists.

You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.

You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

You have to believe that gender roles are artificial, but being homosexual is natural.

You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but PETA activists do.

You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.

You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E. Lee, and Thomas Edison.

You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag queens and transvestites should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

You have to believe that this message is a part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, ooops, can't do that either!!

Well Put!! @Demolition - Thankyou. It's good to know there are others out there who are Champions of Common Sense!

"I want my Rumsfeld..." @Demolition - At least we have the Patriot Act that the Justice Department is saying has been abused by our F.B.I.

Where is Rummy when we need him? That brave man stands 8 hours a day - why can't we force detainees that have been convicted of no crime and been represented by no one in no court of law be forced to hold and maintain stress positions?

Lynndie England is a mastermind of interrogation and is being duly punished for her forray into the nether realm of P.O.W. experimentation. Not unlike the Japanese did with Chinese or Germans did with everyone that they captured.

Yes. Stay the course. Lets just shred the Constitution. Only that communist insurgence of the ACLU seems to care for it... oh, and Constitutionalists - the new Communist.

Hmmm @Perspicacious progressive - Has the patriot act been abused..no doubt.

But....

I don't recall seeing any photo's of Lynndie England or any other GI shoving bamboo strips under fingernails, cutting of prisoners genitals and putting them in their mouths or surgically removing the spleens and quads of P.O.W's for dinner, nor do I remember seeing human heads on posts. I don't remember seeing the photos of someone like Dr. Mengele sorting detainee's only to perform human medical experiments on them later or the physically and mentally handicapped being used a guinea pigs.

Please don't compare today's GI's with the Nazi and Japaneese of WWII, there is no comparison.

Oh I am speachless @Demolition - You forgot the part about television and degrading music, but my hat is off to you!

Demo, I am speachless for once, well put and thank you for puting it in such a nice little package!

What is there to debate? Who is this guy Hannity? From what others say about him he is a real loser with no real atributes as a thinker.

Rocky should avoid this FLAKE and stick to his present course of action, publicly speaking against the atrocities that President Bush has inflicted on all of America. America is losing, if it hasn't already lost, it's credibility as a Nation and a democracy.

Bush's actions against other countries and nations without the consent of congress has put America in the same league as those he is trying to suppress. Bombing and taking his war to other countries without consent is not humanitarian or what a real leader of this country should be doing. Bush and his administration have absolved themselves from the terms of the Geneva Convention and have completely disregarded the rights of other third world nations by inflicting his war on them.

Utahn's are the most gullible people in this country when it comes to our political leaders and the only politics they hear are at their Sunday church events. A well informed society we have here in Utah and a bunch of No-brainers that can't think for themselves. Most can't even read after going through the Utah education system.

BTWBOB! @Btwbob - Although I agree with your comments on Hannity I disagree, strongly with your comments on Rocky. You seem to think that since a few voters in Salt Lake City gave Rocky the authority as the CEO of their city that he now has authority on national issues. As if his voice is important on a national scale. I have news for you, it isn't. Salt Lake City isn't any more important on a national scale than Boise or Cheyenne. Rocky is a Mayor. He isn't a Senator, Congressman, or any other national authority. Rocky's authority extends only over Salt Lake City's incorporated boundaries. His job as Mayor should involve only local City issues. Rocky abuses his position as a Mayor and he abuses the trust and authority granted to him by his constituents.

All the issues you talked about aren't Rocky's to deal with. Call your Congressman. That's the venue and the individual that should be involved with the issues you proclaim.

WHAT?? @Btwbob - You don't know who Sean Hannity is? Give me a break and pull your head out. Thank goodness for people like Sean! His efforts will also save us from having Hillary as our next president.

Really? @MomOf5 - His efforts didn't save the Republicans from losing control of the House and Senate, did they? The Republicans are doomed because of hacks like Hannity and Limbaugh, people that constantly support Republican corruption. I'm scared to death of Hillary but who do the Republicans have? Nobody. Nada. Losers. If Hannity and Limbaugh were true conservatives they would be spouting off about the corruption of both political parties and finding a true conservative candidate to endorse.

Wake up, Mom, you've been brainwashed. Vote Constitution Pary, Libertarian, anything! Help us break the death grip the Republicans and Democrats have over this Country!!

Funny video I found a funny video about Rocky Anderson...



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vN7Fs1zbq7I

Hannity........................... This is the man who still runs around in circles claiming,, "We found the WMDS in Iraq!" Even Bush DENIES this. This is the man who claimed, "If the Democrats win the seats in November, they will "cut and run". WHen is this supposed to happen? It will be interesting to see how Hannity will "hangup" on Rocky. The problem with Bush, he doesn't realize that we have already won the war in Iraq. Saddam is gone, whatever "threat" Iraq was to the US is gone, They have a new constitution....Why are we still there? Bush should have claimed "victory" and pulled out a long time ago.....It seems he just insists on keeping us there and making us look WEAK...

So you know @Dennis M. - The cut and run looks like it is scheduled for 08. If the Dems get their way.

It is too bad I am going to miss this debate. Armed forces radio doesn't carry Hannity's (or any talk radio) show to my knowledge.

I still want to know what the freaking heck the Rocksters hard evidence is. Accusations are not evidence.

@T T. - Note: I had to say freaking heck to keep the KSL cop happy.

@I\'m here 2 - Yeah, the KSL cop banned Rory Shackleford, Esq. because Rory refused to provide a valid phone number. At least that's what Rory told me.

The Man.

@T M. - As you can see, I have a new log in

@T M. - Yep, notice my new log in?

Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers How about this: Lets acknowledge we engaged in a bloody conflict on "poor" information - no one seems to contest this. Now lets bring our military home since we went in with bad intel. Lets say "we're sorry" and go on about our business of finding Osama bin Laden. Lets shake down Saudi Arabia and ask if they have anyone else they plan on sending to our country to blow stuff up. The Project for a New American Century (PNAC) could be consulted on that as well. They seem to be one step ahead of the game. Lets quit running prisons in other countries - we seem to have a bit of an obsession with prisons. Lets concentrate on services for our military after they have PTSD, amputations, sleep or eating disorders, burns and other such ailments.

I know, I'll be accused of not supporting our troops since I want them home and to receive medical treatment. Silly me.

All the War Profiteers have made their obscene profits and can cash out now. (Paul Bremer, the CEO of Iraq, INC. would be proud. What a fine shell company he helped create.)
- - -

Or we can simply stay the course and make sure the War Profiteers are happy. Because if they're happy, we're all happy... besides, our reward is in heaven.

I'll skip this debate.... It would make my teeth itch to have to listen to these two blowhards go at each other.

Rocky's friends... It's a good thing Rocky is making friends in DC, since that is his next objective. Can't you see that most of the attention getting stuff he does is just for that, attention. He wants to get his name out there, so that a group of some sort will send him to hill. Sure he may hate Bush and the war, but his desire to be on the Hill is what is really pushing him. Ihope he does good in the debate, so his chances are better of leaving this state and going to the other side of the country. He's messed up plenty of things here, and pissed of plenty of people. C'ya Rockee!

Re: Rocky's Friends @Jess H. - I am not sure if that the mayor's intentions. However, if it is...how is that any differnt that former Governor Mike Leavitt now being in President Bush's cabinet? Every politician has is always striving to get to Washington DC one way or another. For everyone saying the mayor is an embarssment...more than likely you live in Utah County or Davis Country and you do not live in the borders of Salt Lake City.

Correction @Mat C - "more than likely you live in Utah County or Davis Country and you do not live in the borders of Salt Lake City."

You right, but allow me to edit your post slightly to more accuratly reflect the actual feelings of the people you are refering to:

"more than likely you live in Utah County or Davis Country or anywhere else in this state, and you do not want, desire, or have any reason desperate enough to live in the borders of Salt Lake City. Especially with a city government run by Mr. Anderson"

@Aceohearts - Good. It will be less traffic if you stay in Davis/Utah County.

Way to go Rocky! Way to PROVE what a horses A_ _ you are!

Why??? Can't anyone properly spell


L---O---S---E---R

He is not a looser

He is a loser.

Yeah Right Oh please, I'm sure Hannity has NO control whatsoever over what his producers do . . . come on. Sean Hannity is right up there w/ Limbaugh, Savage and Coulter - their level of journalistic integrity is pathetic. Read "The Truth, With Jokes" by Al Franken. A huge portion of what Hannity says is fiction - it's news entertainment - like Hard Copy before it. Who can shout louder? Who can make the most outrageous statement? This is what we are demanding from our news organizations?? Pathetic! Are we really surprised that Hannity is "winning" on here at 74%? This is UTAH!! The masses are . . . well, you know.

A formal debate would be very interesting I would like to see how Sean handles himself in a colledge styled debate use formal debating rules. It would also benefit the community if it is done to raise money for charity.

Even though I find Rocky Anderson to be a disgusting individual I think Sean Hannity is just as bad. Rocky got the short end of the stick from Hannity. Hannity chickened out and now he's rechallenging to save face.

Get it right cankerpuss!!! @Cankerpuss - Did you even read the story cankerpuss!?!?!? Half of you that are fence sitters in here that are a little for both parties have your head so far your own A_ _ that you don't even read the story! You run your mouth before thinking just like your pal Rocky!!! The article says that Hannity's producers I stress the word PRODUCERS cancelled the show! Hannity didn't even know about it! Once he DID know about it, what did he do, oh that's right, he not only said he'd talk with dumb A_ _ Anderson, oh no, that he'd actually fly himself out here to debate with him FACE TO FACE!!! Get your freakin' facts straight before you go shooting your mouth of like the moron you are!!

I think Tyler is a little @Tyler M. - upset about anything said against his idol, Sean. You're either naive or stupid, even both if you believe Sean had nothing to do with the cancellation.

Idiot!

Cankerpuss...... @Cankerpuss - Your comment here just enlightened me as to how intelligent you really are and I can tell that my previous post to you was a waiste of my time due to your lack of wisdom and understanding! Let me tell you, your adult way of telling me that I'm "stupid" and at the end, an "idiot" is pretty childish and just proves to me what knowledge and understanding you really have about this matter. Cankerpuss, you're really not worth my time, so go ahead and just talk to someone who cares, okay!? Thanks for playing though.

Pay attention...Rocky I think that Rocky should focus on what the voters of Salt Lake City hired him to like running the city instead of running his mouth. If he spent as much time focused on the local issues as he does on national issues, he might get something done.

I completely agree @bryant g. - Rocky is an embarrasement to this great State. He will not win a debate between himself and Sean Hannity. Rocky needs to keep his mouth shut when it comes to the President of the U.S. as long as he is the mayor of Salt Lake and supposed to be representing the people in that area and the issues of Salt Lake. He has the right to his opinion, but should not be doing it on public service time/money and not while he represents the people of Salt Lake, because a lot of those people don't agree with him.

national issues??????? @bryant g. - national issues affect local issues, that is why there is no veterans home in ogden AGAIN!!!!!!!

Both sides have merit What is incredibly funny is that both of the extremes have their merits. They also have their stupid moments.

Diehard Conservatives: Whether you like Bush or not, you really shouldn't be blindly following anyone just because they are persuasive. If you are for him, realize that he has his faults, too. I'm not saying that he is bad, I'm just saying he has made plenty of mistakes. It is good to support our elected officials, but to believe that ANYONE can be as perfect as you make him seem is downright foolish.

Diehard Liberals: You can shout and insult all you want, but it really isn't impressive. If you want to show the conservatives that you are right, then tell them that you are right. Don't waste your time telling them that they are wrong. They won't listen, they won't care, and they will only be convinced that you are just a bunch of jerks. By the way, this is just a thought: by hating Bush as starkly as you do, you may in fact be making his eventual 'heroism' inevidable. The greatest men and women that the world has ever seen are only idolized in hindsight. WHAT MADE THEM GREAT IS THE FACT THAT THEY STUCK TO WHAT THEY BELIEVED IN DESPITE THE HATRED AND MALICE OF THEIR SOCIETY. I'm not saying that Bush will become a national hero, but if he is, your strong opposition will only make his story more epic and selfless.

@Captain Obvious - Wait, did you just say that Bush is "persuasive" ?

At the end of the day, everybody is stupid. I'm stupid, you're stupid, Roscoe Anderson is stupid, Sean Hannity is stupid, Michael Savage is stupid, Nancy Pelosi is stupid, Harry Reid is stupid, Rocky's Mom is stupid, Ray Giacoletti is stupid, Dave Rose is stupid, Ann Coulter is stupid, Neal Combes is stupid, Puffy Combs is stupid, Greta van Susteren is stupid, Simon Cowell is stupid, Dr. Phil is stupid, Dr. Laura is stupid, Oprah is stupid, Jerry Springer is stupid, Hulk Hogan is awesome, Howard Stern is stupid, Barry Bonds is stupid, the Jazz Bear is stupid, and so forth. We're all stupid. And only in our stupidity are we all equal.

Sincerely yours,
The Man.

Great Post... @T M. - That's the best post I have seen on this today.

Love it! @T M. - Well put, T.M. Who knows who is correct anymore in this insane P.C. world. Maybe we are all wrong and stupid. Maybe Bush is right! Maybe the Dems are right! Maybe we are all WRONG! Maybe we are all so full of ourselves and think that our little pathetic lives actually mean something to the world that we get on these comment boards and spout off like we truly know everything when in fact we know nothing so we can feel that maybe we are just a little more important than a speck in the cosmos.

Anyone want a slice of PRIDE pie? We got plenty here on the boards today.

What I meant when I said "persuasive." @T M. - Mr. Bush has a lot of gusto and enthusiasm in his speeches. Many people would be persuaded by the "positive vibes" that he emits, I guess.

TAKE IT TO HIM HANNITY!!!!!!! This is what I'd love to see!!! Hannity is the man! If this event takes place, I, for one, will find some way to buy a ticket or whatever has to be done so that I could attend! I would absolutely love to see old "RAINBOW BRITCHES" (rocky) squirm like the little worm he is in trying to defend his ridiculous, hot air filled, un-educated points!!! Rocky is the one that needs to be impeached!! This moron has done nothing for Utah and Salt Lake City except embarrass us on many more than just one occasion. I think Gov. Hunstman or Pres. Bush should make "RAINBOW BRITCHES" (rocky's) dream come true and just send me on the Gay and Lesbian cruise liner for an extended period of time and then sink the freakin' ship in the middle of no where. Just think of the peace and the breath of fresh air we could all have if this moronic, excuse for a human being, Rocky Anderson were gone!!! It would be awesome!! Please, come on out here Hannity, take this ACLU lovin', radical imbisal out!!!!!

SEAN HANNITY FOR SLC MAYOR!!!!!!!!!!!! Really, anyone would be better than the stupid looking dork in there right now.

Sean Hannity for Mayor @Mitchman - Sean Hannity for Mayor of Salt Lake City...not in my lifetime that's for sure. We are trying to rid our city of fruit loops...not attract them.

Both liars Who cares if Rocky and Hannity debate? Will it change anything? No. Will it change anyones mind? No. Both are liars and spew the rhetoric of their politics.

My sentiments exactly.... @Kent S. - What a joke for either of these guys to "think" that they are the say all in any of our decisions. I feel for the poor excuse that went to Hannity whining that Rocky is misrepresenting...."Oh, Sean, come rescue me..." What a baby! Grow a pair! I'd feel the same way if anyone went to Rocky with the same pathetic plea. Get a grip people and look at the big picture. These guys are feeding off of motivations that are untrue to what is really best for anybody. I believe exposing these two in a debate would be PURELY entertainment, NOTHING MORE.

Hannity will tear Rocky up I'm all for Sean Hannity comming to Utah to debate Rocky Anderson. Rocky Anderson doesn't stand a chance. I am embarrassed that Rocky is the Mayor of Salt Lake City. I say Impeach Anderson.

Rocky was known for being the toughest lawyer in SLC before being mayor. He will eat Hannity for breakfast-- even if I dont agree with his opinion. Both have huge egos and cant back down.

Poll I'm guessing most of us are somewhere in the middle. Can't there be an option for us? Rocky and Hannity are way too extreme.

Impeach Rocky! For wasting Utah Tax Payer money with his antics. For making us look stupid! Get him out. The train in his head jummped track. He believes he is someone important. Too much Repblican pressure I guess. Hey Rocky. I hope Sean is is a lot better informed than you, sends you home crying to your mama! If anyone will "chicken out" it will be Rocky. He will find an excuse to not make it. Or he will say he won when he did not. What a black-eye for Utah as though Polygamy is not enough. Stop abusing your political position to misrepresent the majority of the people here in Utah! Hey Liberals! We may have Libby and Folley that shamed us, but Kerry, Dean, Gore, Sharpton, Ted Kennedy, Carter, Clinton, Leaky Leahi, Mertha, Rocky Anderson (and Washington friends) how proud you must be!

Does Rocky have business at home to take care of? Didn't the voters elect Rocky to take care of problems in Salt Lake? Isn't that what a Mayor is for? Aren't there things in Salt Lake that Rocky should be more worried about instead of trying to spread his face all over the media, all over the country? Seems like Rocky has forgotten what his job is or just doesn't care.

"We are feeling misrepresented, and we need someone to stand up against him." Yup, sounds about right.

Boo hoo, poor baby.... @Bucketts - I hope this comment is sarcastic, if not and you're really looking for a politician or a talk show radio host to "stand up" for you.....absolutely pathetic.

Hate What is the most used word in this site.
It reflects what Utah is about , if you don’t agree I hate you.
If it not my way take a hike.
If not the prevalent religion buzz off.
The right is right.
The left is, well the left.
Bush is a god
Bush is a liar
Rocky should be impeached
Bush should be impeached
Hannity lets every one express
Hannity cuts everyone short
Rocky gave the LDS there Vatican Palace down town
Rocky has the right to speak out
Rocky has no right to express any thing we don’t like

UTAH AS YOU TYPE STOP AND LISTEN TO YOUR HATE

Abuse of Power?? Dear Rocky,

Just a little warning that people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks......... Is there any other mayor (a local position) that uses his office to promote his personal agenda on national items more than you do? How much of your time (at my expense) is used to promote your idealogy? I understand your "freedom of speech", but I don't understand your public relations/city representative positions. Perhaps Mr. Hannity should call as witnesses/inteviewees your 2,386,420 Public/Media Relations directors you've hired and either fired or "quit" after one day in your loving office. Maybe you should redirect your efforts to problems in SLC and start with making sure that our malls are safe and making sure that YOUR police force doesn't target innocent citizens for wrongful acts (when your officers didn't believe Kathryn Smart about Richard Rissei (sp?) not being the abductor but another man by the name of .........) And furthermore, YOUR police force would not put forth the name and when the family did, the true culprit (Mr. Mitchell) was found within days with Elizabeth Smart. Perhaps you ought to concern yourself with doing your job and not window-dressing for the national media. If you want to see abuse of power, look in the mirror...........

O.K., HERE'S THE DEAL.... Fortunately only 21% of our great state are morons who back the squirrel. God willing, we will survive this, and the 79% majority will start voting again.
God bless America, God bless our president, and please....God help the wayward 21%...please!!

Catfight! I would prefer to see these two candy-*asses go at each other under UFC rules. Give them a pair of fingerless gloves and lock them in an octagon. That might raise a lot of money for charity from the prospect that one of these wimps would seriously hurt themselves just from physical exertion. I doubt that it would amount to anything more than a slap-fight.

Hannity BO ZO MORON Hannity just like to stirrup treble I just can not believe that some one
With an I Q over 25 would listen that bull crap
He is only popular with low I Q people

It dose not take a brick wall to fall on some one to know that the war is wrong Bush is wrong
Bush started the war to make dandy proud of him

Now Rocky would not lower him self to talk with an IDIOT like
Hannity there is nothing to prove
So why west your time with a MORON, IDIOT, scentless, bone, headed, jerk ,like Hannity


So You think needs to meet with Hannity YOU have an I Q around my be 25

IQ????? @Mr know it all - How very funny that you would make a post here about IQ points. I'm not going to point out all the spelling and grammatical errors in your post, but I think my 5 y/o could do almost as well.

Did you come up with the number 25 out of thin air? Or is it the number they told you after your own IQ test?

Legalize Gambling for the day! Quick, reconvene the legislature and pass a bill that legalizes gambling for one day so that betting on this debate is legal.
I am thinking we could get a nice chunk of change to pay for care for disabled vets or families impacted by service to their country...
Personally I think both Hannity and Anderson are too full of themselves to see the other persons point of view. But I do respect the opportunity to debate the issue. It would be nice to raise some funds out of the event to help those who have helped our country.

rocky a I am weary of hearing or seeing this man in the media. Most people that i know cant stand him, myself included. He is a grand-standing [no swearing please]. How can anybody take this loser seriously? Wish he would just go away.

Rocky the Clown Mayor Rocky Anderson: "I see a lot of hate. I see a lot of bitterness, but I don't see a lot of knowledge. And I wonder what have we become as a country?" Such sentiments must be evoked as he stares in to the mirror each morning.

Rocky is a lonely, miserable man who for some time now has agitated to have his personal agenda heard. Governed by his personal baggage, he has embarrassed and utterly misrepresented the people of Salt Lake.

A debate with Hannity will be another occassion for him to appear a clown.

Here is you SIGN Rocky need to where a sign around his neck. The sign should state "I DO NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF UTAH"
He is needing some help pulling his head out of where the sun doesn't shine. Rocky should do his job here and quite lobbying for a job in washington. Rocky should be impeached.

Problem with Bush 1. Bush misrepresented the facts that put us in the forsaken war.

2. Bush knew that enemies like North Korea posed more of a threat than Iraq.

3. Bush knew that Iraq has the 2nd largest oil field in the world, and that his and Cheney's buddies at Haliburton would benefit by this war.

4. The Bush family has sat on the board of directors for the Carlyle Group, which is an investment firm that owns the weapons manufacturering companies that are making the weapons for this war.

5. If there wasn't so much profiteer, and so much lack of evidence in Iraq for WMDs, I would support this war too.


Fact is Bush and family, as well as the Bin Laden family are profiting off of this war more than anyone else. Cheney who is the former CEO of Haliburton got 1.6 million dollars in 2001-2002 from Haliburton, and now Haliburton is working on a 7 billion dollar NO-BID contract in Iraq for extracting Iraqi oil!!!!!

Who benefits? Not Iraq. Not the American people. Haliburton and the Carlyle Group are the beneficiaries!!

It's sick!

Go Rocky!!!

Go Rocky!!!

Merits of the arguments.... Based on the point of view alone, Rocky would win the debate in most Islamic venues in the Middle East, but here in conservative country--Rocky's point of view does not stand a chance regardless of his fancy, loud or insistant lawyerly style.

Maybe Rocky could move the debate to Palestine where he would have a better chance.
