Anyone who has listened to Hannity's radio show or seen his TV show knows he likes to sensationalize but then again, that's what is consumers want him to do. I'm curious what Congressman Ellison was hoping to achieve by not maintaining his composure on Fox News - a network with a decidedly conservative viewership - but after all that I sure hope he feels it was a success.

Well, at least Mr. Ellison stopped before calling Mr. Hannity a "Low life scumbag" as he did in the campaigns against his opponent. As a statesman and a representitive of of our fine state of Minnesota, as will as a representitive of myself as a Minnesota, am just a little ashamed. On a world stage, knowing full well what kind of program it was, My representitive fell to the bait, and forgot what it was to be a Minnesotan and a Statesman. Every debate is lost when you resort to name calling, and you lose by not debating the facts.

one person is obvious a liar, people should look up the definition of retheric and undersand what FOX News is really about. Wake up and read a real news paper and try to understand whats going on really. Just try one "real" artical in a "real" newspaper

Rep. Ellison embarrassed himself and the city of Minneapolis in his meltdown on Hannity's program. Ellison's election reflects badly on the voters of Minneapolis.

Ellison acts like the classless A _ _ (ct) that he is.This no composure wing nut represents Minnesota ... Embarassing.

I think Representative Ellison called the set-up like he saw it and I appreciate that. The clip that Fox News/Hannity played to introduce the interview was clearly slanted and sensationalized so calling it yellow journalism seems accurate to me. Unfortunately, Fox News doesn't have a corner on dramatizing news or on personifying problems. All the spectacle (regardless of whether it is Fox, MSNBC, CNN etc) takes attention from the real issue: that Congress hasn't passed a budget and this unending series of "crises" HAS had detrimental effects on our country's credit rating and on consumer confidence, etc. etc. While I agree that name-calling doesn't accomplish anything, Representative Ellison expresses his clear opinions about what should be done to address the budgetary issues and refers Sean Hannity to the White House to resolve concerns Fox has with how the President is handling things.

Minnesota should be embarrassed by the actions of their classless hate monger Keith Ellison. All Muslims are not like this one. Most are kind and courteous.

Ellison just goes along with his party line, which is spend, spend, spend. We should welcome these sequester cuts, which aren't actually cuts, but reductions in future spending. i agree that the scariest part of this political scenario, is the voters that put Obamma and Ellison in office. People have become so selfish and now vote for their special interests(gays, illegal immigrants, entitlements, etc.) instead of what is best for the whole country.

Bottom line, FOX wins. This interview is getting a lot of attention and that is what the advertisers like to see. For the record Ellison also represents part of Edina not just Minneapolis.

As they say voting has consequences. I doubt anyone who voted for Keith will really go back after the election, slap their forehead and say, "Gee I could of had a V8" no they simply won't do that, they'll just believe that Keith's unprofessional meltdown was a response to him being asked simple questions by Sean who gave him numerous opportunities to answer questions intelligently which Keith completely failed to do. Keith is an angry man at his core and he has a clear agenda and when he does not see what he wants then he will bully you into believing in his position. He is an abject failure as a Congressman and he can sit in front of all the cameras he wants with sock monkey's and crocodile tears but at the end of the day he's not really taken seriously by anyone up on the Hill including his own party. The big players, Pelosi, Crowley, Hoyer, Becerra the real leaders of the Democratic Caucus in the House of Rep., they won't get near Keith. He's a little player among 435 players there and he continually finds new ways to make himself irrelevant. And with that he makes the MN 5th irrelevant. Go ahead, Google up what Keith has accomplished in his entire time up there and the list is pretty short, his record of passing meaningful legislation is simply abysmal.

We are in trouble people...there is 'no one' looking out for us in Washington. We stand idly by watching this three ring circus as the tent burns around us. My side, your side, I'm right, you're wrong, he said, she said. Our forefathers aren't just spinning in their graves...they are ashamed of all of us. Those that came before us did so much to shape this country as we to do so little to save it from falling apart.

I am impressed by Congressman Ellison and would like to thank him for standing up to Mr. Hannity. I didn't find Congressman Ellison to be anything more than factual in addressing Mr. Hannity's hyperbole.

So you are impressed by Congressman Ellison! So, you are ok with people who committ to cut a little spending and that are held to task by a mandatory cut if Congress fails to act. But, when it comes time for it to happen he cries foul. Ok here's what you do, go to a convience store and get a lighter. Use your thumb to spin the wheel, don't be surprised, you will see sparks and then a flame if you hold the red button down. Be careful and not to burn yourself. If I am right, this will impress and entertain you for days. Congress, across the board is a joke, and we are in a lot of trouble. We need term limits.
