There were three issues that George S. and Charles Gibson pressed Obama on during the debate two days ago:
-The William Ayers connection -The Rev. Wright connection-flag pin "controversy
Sean Hannity was responsible for the  William Ayers question.  
And I remember hearing Sean Hannity once claim that he was the one who first broke the Rev. Wright controversy.
And no one pushed the "flag pin" story more often than Sean Hannity.   
He's also parrotted the false accusations about Barack being a Muslim and having attended a Madrassa, not having his hand over his heart during the national anthem, and he drove the Michelle Obama isn't proud of America story into the ground.
For the last year, I would argue that no MSM broadcaster has called into question Obama's patriotism more than Sean Hannity.
I know.  Not a big surprise.  
In my previous post about the debate (link below) I pointed out that the Colombian Free Trade issue wasn't brought up at the debate at all but that it was very relevant to the good folks of Pennsylvania.  
I don't know how moderators choose issues to bring up. But one thing's for certain.  The one's chosen were all relevant to Sean Hannity.  
And they initially became issues because of him.
