Sean Hannity calls a crowd of Tea Partiers "Tim McVeigh wannabes"...and they applaud!

I sh*t you not.

Now, I'm willing to grant that yes, the applause started before he said the Tim McVeigh line, and because of the applause, many may not have even heard it. So I don't see the applauding crowd as the big story here (as good of a headline as it makes). But the fact remains, Hannity said it, with zero sense of irony, and meant it as a compliment. WTF? W-T-F?!

ETA: Hmm, a comment elsewhere seems to indicate that Hannity WAS using it ironically, that other people had referred to them as "Tim McVeigh wannabes" and he was using it sarcastically. Wow, he did NOT think that through.
