Here's the latest from Media Matters, "Hannity criticized Obama over comments that Hannity misleadingly cropped."

Here's a break down of what happened, but it's well worth reading the entire post.

Hannity played a clip of Obama stating:

There's a lot of change going on outside of the court that, you know, the judges have to essentially take judicial notice of. I mean, you've got World War II. You've got the doctrines of Nazism that we are fighting against that start looking uncomfortably similar to what's going on back here at home.

Hannity then asked that the clip be played again "because some of the blogs have picked up that 'Obama comparing the U.S. to Nazi Germany' story."

But Hannity left out the next sentence:

[T]here's a lot of change going on outside of the court that, you know, the judges have to essentially take judicial notice of. I mean, you've got World War II. You've got the doctrines of Nazism that we are fighting against that start looking uncomfortably similar to what's going on back here at home. You've got African Americans who are returning from the war with certain expectations in terms of, "Why is it that I'm now in uniform and yet am denied more freedom here than I was in France or Italy?"

After airing the cropped version for the second time, Hannity stated: "He's comparing -- looking similar to what Nazism is back here at home? Has anybody picked up on this in the media?"

 

Here's the video.
