If anyone needed any more proof that the butthurt Rep. Keith Ellison administered to Sean Hannity still smarts, here you go. After having his ass handed to him Tuesday evening by Ellison, Hannity decided for the third night in a row to attack Ellison, and for the second night in a row to hide behind black conservatives to go after Ellison for him.

This Friday, Hannity's guests were David Webb, who is one of Fox's favorites that you can read more about here, and another Astroturf "tea partier" Niger Innis, who again attacked Ellison for daring to attend the Million Man March, and played the guilt by association game we saw from his other two black conservative guests the previous evening.

If Hannity had an ounce of courage or integrity, of which he has neither, he'd allow Ellison back on his show so he could respond to these drummed-up allegations. But he's probably afraid of being made to look like an ass if he allowed Ellison to speak freely.

I really thought I'd seen the worst from Hannity when he went on his months-long attack on President Obama for his association with his former preacher Rev. Wright, but I was wrong in that assumption. With his continued attacks on Rep. Keith Ellison, simply because he dared to let Hannity know to his face what he thought of him, is right up there with that same racial hatred and disgusting flame-throwing we saw over and over from him back then.

On this Tuesday evening's edition of Hannity on Fox, Rep. Keith Ellison let Hannity have it when he made an appearance directly following one of Hannity's fearmongering video mashups, with President Obama speaking about the sequester and the damage the spending cuts might do to the economy, with O Fortuna playing in the background. Ellison was shocked by what he just watched, which Hannity asked him to respond to as soon as he came on.

HANNITY: I guess that's what we could describe as "staying on message." Something the Democratic party, I would argue, is very good at. Let me ask you...

ELLISON: You're pretty good at it too.

HANNITY: I... I... well thank you.

ELLISON: Quite frankly, you are the worst excuse for a journalist I’ve ever seen.

HANNITY: I am the what? I didn't hear you.

ELLISON: You heard me.

HANNITY: Say it again. I didn't hear you.

ELLISION: What you just displayed was not journalism. It was yellow journalism. It wasn’t anything close to try to tell the American people what’s really going on. I mean it’s just shocking.

HANNITY: Yellow journalism?

ELLISON: You. Yes.

And everything went downhill (or uphill, depending on your view) from there. Ellison called Hannity a "shill" for the Republican party, which Hannity denied, saying he's a "Registered Conservative.©" (I wasn't aware we had a "Conservative party" other than the Republican party, but whatever.)

Of course, Hannity didn't take too kindly to the fact that he was called out for doing what he does daily on Fox, which is just that -- shilling for Republicans and for lying to his viewers day in and day out.

After several more minutes of the two of them arguing about the sequester and who is responsible for our budget deficit and Hannity still laying that at the feet of President Obama, Hannity finally cut off Ellison's mic, saying that his "audience deserves better."

UPDATE: I did not include Hannity's intro in the segment above. To see the piece of garbage Rep. Ellison was reacting to, here's how Hannity opened up his show:
