Last year, during the presidential campaign, Sean Hannity flew into Orem, Utah on a private jet paid for by the students of Utah Valley Community College. He was on a mission, a mission to hannitize the citizenry in order to inoculate them against a visit by Michael Moore, who, according to local patriot Kay Anderson, was plotting to lead the city's children into wickedness. As Mr. Hannity prepared to take the stage, a young filmmaker, Steven Greenstreet, asked him why he was charging the working class students of the small state college $48,851.62 in travel expenses. His question was a ploy, a distraction meant to divert Mr. Hannity's attention while a camera stole his soul.
Luckily, the Fox News star wasn't fooled. He quickly signaled his bodyguard and made his escape into an elevator while the cameraman was wrestled to the floor.
It's all documented in this video clip (housed in this mirrored post) from the film, This Divided State.
Note from my Inner Frenchman: The This Divided State DVD goes on sale today. I've seen it twice and loved it. It's the perfect companion to Fahrenheit 911. Young, progressive filmmakers like Steven need our support. It's one of the ways in which we can help to build a progressive infrastructure so that we may effectively compete with the conservatives and their servants, the DC Democratic consultant class (apologies to my old friend, David Dixon).
