Sean Hannity rips Ed Asner

“In 20 years, rich people doubled their share of the land’s income. Schools, public safety, roads, parks libraries, pubic transportation all went into decline. The rich people didn’t care,” says Asner during the narration. “They bought their own teachers, police, garbage collectors and transportation.”

At one point in the video, Asner criticizes “rich people who bought newspapers and TV and radio stations and Internet companies and paid them to repeat over and over, ‘some day you will be rich too. There is no alternative’.”

Conservatives are not happy with this video. Sean Hannity on the Fox News Channel played clips of the video, alongside the Daily Caller's Tucker Carlson and Daily Beast columnist Kirsten Powers.

“There’s really no overstating how dumb this is,” Carlson, a conservative, said. “The idea that there are any California teachers currently in classrooms in charge of children who agree with that, is horrifying.”

“It was pretty bad. I have to say, even I found it offensive,” added Powers, a liberal. “It was too much demonizing for my taste.”
