  1. I don’t think that all liberals hate America, but I think that the far left, probably the 10% furthest left hate America, thats people like Mark Cuban.

  2. How can Karl Rove be on T.V. talking about anybody when he is a convicted felon and tried to have a CIA Agent killed. Is this the type of people that Fox News rely on to attack Obama.

  3. Alan, you are a sharp, witty person, but like Al Gore you are not in touch with middle America. Were you raised in a hotel room like Al?

  4. Liberals love America.
    Conservatives confuse America with Republican rule: They can bash Democratic presidents all they want, but any critisism of Republican policy….”YOU HATE AMERICA!”
    It’s just propaganda.

    Actually, Conservatives seem to be most comfortable with Soviet style one party totalitanian rule, which is MOST un American!

  5. Rev. Wright’s comments are neither unpatriotic or far-fetched. The two largest purveyors and manufacturers of biological warfare products are the US and UK. There was a standing order from both to create a virus that could wipe out an entire population without a cure. Many in the gay community and elsewhere believe that the government may have succeeded and experimented on the gay population, just as they did on the blacks in Tuskegee.

  6. I love this big ship we all are sailing in.
    The big ship called America.
    Best ship in the World.
    But those republican guys, who have been at the helm for the past 8 years, have steered us all in the wrong direction.
    Half of the passengers saw the storm in front of us years ago, while the other half just blindly trusted their lead.
    They kept telling everybody theres gold just beyond the horizon, dont worry trust us.
    Everyone that tried to say somthing got labeled a traitor, and accused of hating the great ship America.
    The other ships warned them not to go in this direction years ago too, they got told the same thing.
    Weve lost over 4000 good men, and are runnig low on rashions.
    Its going to take forever to get us back into calm waters.
    I think its time to make them walk the plank, so we can turn this ship around, before we all go down.
    Its time for liberals to take the helm.

  7. Hello Alan,

    First, I would like to say that I look forward to coming home each week night from work to watch “Hannity & Colmes”. Although, I agree most of the time with Sean, I find you amusingly honest, and I love to see Sean get so mad at you–it’s histerical! I’m sorry to say that my Irish born mother (believe it or not, she is a Kennedy hating Irish immigrant, true Conservative)abosolutely hates you. I can’t believe how much hate you bring out in people, and I suspect you do it on purpose.

    Next, I have resigned to the fact that Democrats will probably be in power with the White House, Congress and Senate, and I expect to witness all the disfunctional behavior that comes with it. It’s better than watching Reality TV! I think this country has just been too bored with Bush and his family being too normal,and that’s why the Country will vote for the Dems. They’re bored! Here’s what I predict: Michelle will come out as a lesbian and actually be having an affair with Hillary, or Obama will really be the ultimate Muslim terrorist mole, or we find out he really wants to bring down “Whitey” to pay for slavery, or beter yet he is having incestuous relations with one of his daughters. It could happen!

    In conclusion, four to eight years from now, the country will be disgusted once again, and come to their senses. Conservatives will prevail and be the heros after we’ve been bombed again because of Obama’s and other liberals’ appeasing attitude toward terrorist (Bush merely stated the facts–how defensive or should I say guilty you libs are)… and the cycle will start all over… too much repeat to keep writing. Gotta love this country!

    Do we ever learn from history?

  8. To Kelly from Cali:
    Do you think this country is better after 8 years of Bush.
    I would hate to think the past 8 years or Bush are concidered normal.

    YOU HAVE TO BE TRUSTED AND RESPECTED TO NEGOTIATE PEACE

    I dont see how anyone can come to the conclusion that
    its a bad idea to try diplomacy.
    Isnt that how Reagan got Russia to stand down after years of the cold war thing.
    Hum, ended the war without firing a shot.
    Can’t get any better than that.
    That by itself,should prove alot
    The right person can make a big differece.
    It doesnt matter if its Democratic or Republican its who’s doing the talking.

    I can see why no one trusts or responds to the Bush distort the truth type of diplomacy.

    BUSH AND HIS BUDDIES ARE NOT TRUSTED ENOUGH TO PULL OFF THIS TYPE OF DIPLOMACY.

    THE WHOLE WORLD HAS BEEN WATCHING.

    OBAMA 08

    SOMEONE OUR ENIMIES WOULD TRUST AND RESPECT IN A SERIOUS CONVERSATION ABOUT PEACE.

    THANKS

  9. Mr. Colmes,

    Allow me to apologize for my fellow conservatives, true conservatives are not about being rude, nasty or the name calling that I see here. Most conservatives truly are thinkers, and truly believe in our constitution. We may disagree strongly with your belief’s, but it is entirely uncalled for for the way many have responded to you. Although I disagree with your political view, I have and will fight for your right to say and believe those views. Good luck to you kiddo, you seem to need it!!

  11. Liberals believe in whats right is wrong and whats wrong is right. Anything goes now, no morals, everyone is welcome good and bad. The only belief that I hold true is that one day they will have to answer to someone of a much higher power. Racial relations are only going to escalate if Obama wins – he is arrogant as is his wife – I think they really have a chip on the shoulder. If he does not win there will be riots much more intense & last a lot longer than with Rodney King or O.J. incidents. I cannot believe anyone would or could vote for someone who was sworn into the Senate using the Koran. I think that almost all of the black population would vote for Obama no matter what – I mean does it get much worse with his backgroud – he attended a terrorist training school, his mother was an athesist, his father(s) were terrorists, attended Rev Wrights church, and totally unpatriotic. People wake up please before it is too late, this guy is not what America needs. Obama would be a excellent leader for Iran or any Muslim country. I will never recognize Obama as my president or the president of the United States if he actually were to win because he is not.

  12. Obama was not sworn in on the Quran.

    You’re thinking of Ellison, Rep of MN.

  13. I think Alan Colmes is a closet Republican to be honest! He just says his asinine remarks on his shows to get a reaction from his guests. It’s all for the ratings!

  14. No doubt the left does hate America. They are owned and operated by George soros who indeed hates america.Why this billionaire kook hasnt been brought to task for his hatred of america is beyond me.. Nancy pelosi,one of the lowest forms of garbage,also runs this party. i just hope when the taxes go sky high and she steals the money out of your retirement funds that all of the liberals will be happy to pay for the lazy lumps who refuse to work and illegal aliens who just want free handouts. Democrats are a bunch of dopes and will continue to pay over $4.00 per gallon thanks to Pelosi who refuses to drill for oil in our own country and continue to pay foreigners for our oil..Way to go democrats!!! Go fill your tires with air DUMMIES!!!

  15. BOB,
    There are TWO sides to every story:

    No doubt it is the RIGHT who hates America. They are owned and operated by RICHARD MELLON SCAIFE who indeed hates America. Why this billionaire kook hasnt been brought to task for his hatred of America is beyond me.. THE TRAITOR KARL ROVE is of the lowest forms of garbage,also runs this party. I just hope when the taxes cuts for MILLIONAIRES and BILLIONAIRES go sky high as the GPO steals the money out of your retirement funds, that all of the CONSERVATIVES will be happy to pay for the CORPORATE WELFARE QUEENS who receive GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS and illegal aliens who provide the CHEAP labor that the REPUBLICAN FAT CATS love so much! REPUBLICANS are a bunch of dopes and will continue to pay over $4.00 per gallon thanks to EXXON MOBILE, who continues to price gouge. And the BUSH/CHENEY OIL BOYS who continue to pay their good friends and business partners, the SAUDIS for our oil….as they hold hands ALL the way to Citi Bank (also owned by the Saudis).
    Way to go Republicans!!! Go buy more Hummers, DUMMIES!!!
