Dick Morris And Me
Dick Morris sent out to his mailing list the confrontation we had on Hannity and Colmes after the VP debate. He objected to what he perceived as me reading talking points and thinks he got the better of me. As we say at Fox News, You Decide.









Oh Alan, how can you deal with these creatures? Both of them straight out of the swamp. Morris is clearly trying to reinvent himself now that the world needs fewer professional Clinton-haters, but what is he trying to turn into? Some sort of grotesque cross between Coulter and a gothic gargoyle?
As for Hannity, no, I can’t begin to characterise that disgusting creature. Sanctimonious prick…
October 5th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Morris is just another loud mouth John. He’s also wrong about most of the topics he spews forth on.
JM you are being too nice when describing Hannity.
October 5th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Well, Hannity nor Morris hangs out with KNOWN terrorists, or UNAMERICAN speakers like [rev.] wright!
Two very DISGUSTING UNAMERICANS !
The [leftists] can defend ayers and wright! PRICELESS !
How ayers and wright can be called Americans, the [leftists] can waste their words on them !
October 5th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Oh; wright and ayers ARE friends of Obama’s.
FOO’s.
October 5th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Famous [leftists], Lennon, Stalin, Castro, Chavz, & Marx.
Marx: the FICTION wrighter who passed it on !
So PROUD the Amerikans who wallow in the words of, and defend these [people]!
October 5th, 2008 at 4:45 pm
AND: the[leftists] [think] there is something WRONG with being a Christian and believing in the LORD.
I’LL take JESUS over the above mentioned [people].

It’s amazing how this GOP argument of someone who was attacking the US from inside when Obama was 8 years old is relevant. JerrysROLLIN is stuck on the Fox talking points and doesn’t even know who Ayers is. What Jerry doesn’t realize or maybe he does is that the only reason this argument is being spewed it that Hate Mongers have always tried to associate Terrorism with people of color. The problem that Jerry isn’t realizing is that Ayers is a home grown “WHITE” American who practiced his beliefs against America at a time when he would not even had any thing to to with a “black man”. Yes Jerry, Ayers is a “white man”. Just like McVeigh and Terry N. who attacked the US also. No one is moved by the GOP blatant racisim by trying to use Senator Obama’s race and name, (Because that’s all it is) to associate him with Terrorism. Jerry, your talking point has been proven wrong and wrong again. What I would call Terrorism is McCain pulling out of Michigan, (The State that is in the worst economic conditions in the country) because of what the polls say. That shows me that he cares less about the American people than anyone else. Because I can’t gather all the votes I want, forget the state hurting the most. That just helped someone like me who was still undecided know just what kind of President McCain would have been. I am glad I just found out now before I made a mistake and voted for him. Good Job Mcain in showing your true patriotism.
October 5th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
Hey Alan,
Dick Morris hit the nail on the head. You do need to come up with some new material rather than just talking points.
October 5th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
You’re a pointless person, Jerry, no use at all in adult discussions. Who hasn’t had associations with characters we don’t share the viewpoints of?
How about McCain’s connections to Gordon Liddy, Ted Nugent, Hagee, Parsley, Keating, Joseph “Joe Bananas” Bonano, Scooter Libby… Christ, the man even knows Hannity and you can’t get much lower than that.
Of course, Sarah Palin is (or at least was until she decided to run for the government she was “opposing”) a supporter of AIP, a group dedicated to Alaska’s secession from the American Government. Here’s a quote from the founder:
“The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government. … And I won’t be buried under their damn flag.”
Sarah Palin told them to keep up the good work.
October 5th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Dick lived up to his name, Alan.
He really needs to get over his bitterness with the Clinton’s. And both he and Rove need to learn a bit about respect. Neither of them seem comfortable when you challenge them on what they perceive as gospel (i.e. whatever hoo ha is spewing from their mouths).
Seriously, Alan – you should expect to be treated with more respect, you did not insult either Dick or Rove, and both were petty and insulting with you.
Dick is boring and pathetic.
October 5th, 2008 at 5:18 pm
I’m obviously NOT [pointless], and NO THANK YOU john !
AND DON”T EVEN USE THE RACE COMMENTS AND ATTACH THEM TO ME OR MY COMMENTS !
MOST GOOD COMMUNISTS ARE WHITE Mr. surrounded, YOU are a FOOL !
I DO like the way communists handle terrorists in China and Russia. Same as Castro and Chavez handle theirs.
John and Mr. surrounded are taking us THERE I believe !
I truly hope I see you get your way, it WILL be PRICELESS !
October 5th, 2008 at 5:26 pm
My thoughts and prayers go out to Joe and Jill Biden in regards to Jill’s mother passing.
October 5th, 2008 at 5:47 pm
I’m off to a poker tourny see you [leftists] 2morro.
I have seceded from the republican and democratic [party's]. I AM FREE !
It will take republicans 1 week longer than democrats to become communists!
Have a GOOD EVENING COMRADS !!
October 5th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Alan,
I think Morris did get the better of you. It seems from this clip that the discussion was about the VP debate which Morris was talking about (although I think he and Hannity might have overstated the brilliance of Palen a little bit). You, however, were talking about McCain’s voting record. Morris was uneccessarily rude to you but instead of brushing that off you tried to make little counter jabs while still trying to make an irrelavant point about McCain’s voting record. Because you didn’t stick to the dicussion point (who won the debate) and allowed yourself to get distracted by Morris’ rudeness, you came off looking worse than he did. But that’s just my opinion.
October 5th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
Alan, How about coming back at them with Obama’s accompishments. Instead of all negative against Gov. Palin, maybe you could hit them with some positives about Sen. Obama. Maybe. Tell them that community organizer story again, that never gets old.
October 5th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
The irony of Morris squealing that you need to stop reading talking points when thats pretty much all his new best chum ever Hannity does while he’s fawning at his feet. Is well…pretty rich.
October 5th, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Q. How do you deflect a perfectly rational, fact-based argument?
A. Call it a far left liberal talking point then ignore it.
October 5th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Alan–When Dick KOed you–you were for once speechless and looked like you were either going to cry or come up with your usual 4th grade retort, Oh yeah!, So’s your old man! Fortunately, you shut up when Dick told you to–. You and Plugs Biden both need to replace your worn out toupees!
October 5th, 2008 at 6:56 pm
Dick Morris came across as very angry, which was strange, considering you brought up logical counter-arguments to Palin’s dubious claims in the debate. I think he is angry because you have logically, calmly and fairly called him on the BS he so often spouts.
Morris is basically a discredited source now and KNOWS that, should Obama win, he’ll be rendered even more irrelevant. In fact, most of these dinosaurs will be rendered obsolete, should Obama get the win. Obama winning has the potential to make these needless attacks and the gutter politics of the GOP a thing of the past. Make sure it doesn’t work anymore.
Alan, I enjoy the show, but it is SO tilted to the GOP viewpoint. Why on earth do guys like Morris, Giuliani and Rove get so much air-time? They’re attack dogs and nothing more.
I think we know the ideology that H+C tilts towards – through no fault of your own. I’d like to see more balance on your show. When I see someone like Howard Wolfson or Bob Beckel on the show, it’s like a ray of sunhine: logic, reason and clear argument gets some airplay then. Wolfson is a very bright guy and makes his points in such a way that he silences even the most hostile attack dog.
I hope we see more BALANCE on H+C in the next few weeks.
October 5th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
Wow, Albert!
I just saw the video, and I saw the COMPLETE opposite.
This Morris guy talked about her ’style’ and ability to avoid the questions, and seemed to feel the only way to handle being confronted with the facts was to talk louder and insult the messenger.
I thought it was embarrassing for the right.
October 5th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
I think Dick mentioned a level of skill and communication he had not seen since Ronald Reagan?? Did you miss that?
And it did look like he was reading talking points.
October 5th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
I thought it was nauseating, the way Morris fawned over Sarah Palin’s performance. Give me a break. Morris should have a long and successful career with the Republicans, since they don’t seem to give a damn about the issues, just the “glitter.”
Alan, I think you did fine given the cards you were dealt.
October 5th, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Alan – I don’t mind you going head-to-head with Dick Morris – but whatever you do don’t go toe-to-toe.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Hannity, O’Reilly, and Colmes: You all talk over your guests, and I can hardly stand it. I long for a balanced talk show where guests would be allowed to state their opinions without interuption. Honestly, Alan, I know people who will not watch H & C or O’Reilly because they don’t like people shouting over each other. Maybe that is what “sells” the majority, but not me. I’m glad Mr. Morris made his point.
October 5th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
Think Morris will be back on H&C.????
October 5th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
I can’t believe that your network cuts a paycheck to this hack. He’s been wrong on every prediction he’s ever made. How can you be a political analyst on a major news network and be wrong so often?
October 6th, 2008 at 12:54 am
Well, we rarely see such a skilled liar outside of a 12 step meeting. I think he’s a bit of a national treasure in that regard.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:06 am
So that’s what Dick Morris looks like.
Wow, what a schmuck.
October 6th, 2008 at 1:36 am
Alan to Dick Morris: “Hope the anger managment works out for you.” Priceless!
October 6th, 2008 at 7:23 am
Dang, Dick got fired up! He was just ticked because you called him out on his hatred for the Clintons.
And let’s not even get started about “talking points”. At least you create your own.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:52 am
Dick Morris is a hate-filled, arrogant, condescending, bitter old man.
And Hannity just takes the Republican side no matter what – regardless of how stupid it acts.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:26 am
In the end Morris is just another overweight rightwing TV big mouth who wouldn’t talk like he does in the real world because he’d get his head handed to him.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:38 am
Dick Morris is a brilliant man. It requires one to be able to risk learning something new to be able to grasp the depth of his knowledge. Sadly, some think they “know it all” and rely on only this self-perception of themselves to discuss issues–to discuss anything, actually. The greatest flaw of the liberal mind is the inability to say “I was wrong”–and if a liberal is able to even utter those words, they must attach a twist to pivot themselves in actually being right about their being wrong. Where’s the learning in that? Where’s the growth? Where’s the journey? It is utterly boring to watch liberals discuss the blather which spews, channel to channel, from them. It’s like reading the “special of the day” menu at some chain restaurant, knowing every Applebee’s is going to pour the same thing out onto our plates and call it a “meal”. Liberals fail to realize just how much they are enslaved. Freedom of speech is so constipated between you, it’s often times painful to see you pass through your tightened lips the crap you rely on as “dialogue”. Alan? You deserved Mr. Morris to call you out. You hold up a list, looking as if you had 30 seconds at Santa’s knee and had to get all your “good boy liberal talk soup facts” to show what a “good liberal boy” you are. I would love the opportunity to spend two minutes with Mr. Morris to have a discussion with him so I could learn. You, instead of discussing things important to the viewers, read a list! What a fool! I commend Dick Morris for the information he provides, his brilliant writings, and I thank him for telling you to your face what other viewers think as they watch you in your brainless recitations.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Hahahahahaha….Sarah Palin shock and awe!…Hahahahahahahahahhahahahahaahhahahaha!
October 6th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
more like yelp and yawn
October 6th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Dick Morris is a proven liar who was fired from his job for excellent reasons. He holds more resentments than an alcoholic with 50 years of drinking.
Dick Morris is probably one of the most consistently wrong pundents of the Faux “news” network.
October 6th, 2008 at 12:40 pm
Dick Morris was a little too aggravated at Alan…and I don’t really get why. Thought it was a little uncalled for. Loved Alan’s anger management line…brilliant.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:51 pm
“Dick Morris is a brilliant man.”
Brilliant people don’t talk like thugs.
“The greatest flaw of the liberal mind is the inability to say “I was wrong””
You mean like George the Second, who told us on TV that he hasn’t made any mistakes.
“I commend Dick Morris for the information he provides…”
Morris is another shmuck from the Karl Rove/Donald Segretti school of vandals who are without morals or principle.
October 6th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
Flap,
He was mad because Alan called him on his obsession with the Clinton’s. Morris brings up the Clinton’s every time he can, in any way he can, in order to insult them. Methinks it is a sore spot with the Dick, Morris.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Alan, why do t=you let him insult you like that, c’mon? He’s so rude, but it’s YOUR SHOW! “You better listen to what I have to say” he says. Why? Tell him to get lost. I’m sorry, Alan, I like you and your politics, but your reputation for being too soft is deserved.
October 6th, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Dick Morris looks like a beligerent gym teacher.
I apologize to all the beligerent gym teachers out there.
October 6th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Alan, for the sake of us Liberals, please give up the talking points! You look so foolish spouting the same crap, breath after breath. And having to glance down to read them makes you look even worse. Instead, enlighten the Hannity crowd with some of O’s accomplishments. Not all of them…just one or two. Oh, heck – on second thought, you’d better stick with the talking points. At least you’ve got something to say. Sort of.
October 6th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
It is amazing the things that some people say. Alan keep doing your job. They loud talk you because they don’t want to hear what you have to say, they know that you have good points. I don’t know what the hell Dick MOrris was talking about when he compared her to Ronald Reagan. He must be a complete idiot. As far as the polls were concerned, I did not see one that said that she won. These Republicans need to lay off the crack. The people spoke and we say that she lost, and had nothing to say that was all that great.
October 6th, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Morris means “anyone with a weiner” could see that Palin (ugh) “won” the debate.
Make that an angry, beligerent gym teacher who wants to “do” the star girl’s basketball player.
BTW, I notice Alan’s not just getting drowned out by the bloviating (O’Reilly’s favorite new word!) conservatives–
If you pay close attention, it seems the control booth purposely turns down Colmes’s mike, and turns up his opponents’ mike. So fair and balanced. It’s “shocking and aweing.”
October 6th, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Alan, Love you, but you do get this totally crazed look when you’re ranting the Dem’s talking points! I’m a Dem, but Obama scares me with his totally socialist, maybe near-Marxist agenda. That coupled with his quite dubious friendships & associations make unable to support him. So reminds me of the Manchurian Candidate! His relationships DO matter because they show his judgment, character, and probably his world view. Not in love with McCain, but I’m going with the “devil I know”!!!
October 6th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
Alan, Morris kicked your tail. I felt sorry for you. You didn’t know what to say. All you could do was point out his anger and I don’t blame him for being angry! All you spue out is the Democrats talking points.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:32 pm
“Morris means “anyone with a weiner” could see that Palin (ugh) “won” the debate.”
“Make that an angry, beligerent gym teacher who wants to “do” the star girl’s basketball player.”
Sarah,
You really have nothing of substance to say when it comes to Governor Palin. You sound like the girl in high school who wasn’t good enough to play basketball so she wiped up the sweat off the gym floor during the game.
I find it interesting that you sexualize in some way MANY of the comments you direct toward her. It is tacky, juvenile and boring.
I hope you realize that everytime you belittle/degrade her with your snide little comments you only add fuel to the fire for those of us who are proud to say the republican party had the cahonas to do what your party wouldn’t do for Hillary Clinton.
October 6th, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I would have punched Dick in the face when he pretty much told you to shut up and “listen to what I have to say”. You should have been much harder on him Alan. I don’t think he “won”, but he did walk all over you like a doormat.
October 6th, 2008 at 11:19 pm
I just want to say that I was going to vote for McCain but all of the BS on Fox News, I am going to vote for Obama. Why? Because if you have to dig that low to make a case for McCain, then he is not the right man for the Post. We need to know what is going to happen to our future, not all the mud slinging. Palin is really doing a disservice to Women by acting like a dumb, dumb. Thanks to you McCain is losing my vote. Morris is not even worth taling about, he is a turncoat, and can only make a name for himself by also being a mud slinger. It will all come out in the wash.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:14 am
Good old Dick Morris….
Greatest liar with over a million resentments regarding his well justified firing I’ve ever seen. That guy can make up a conspiracy about pretty much anything that happened since 1733, and I’ll bet it includes the words, “Clinton”, “left wing”, and “I told you so”.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Alan are a total idiot
October 7th, 2008 at 12:53 am
All you do is read talking points etc. you add nothing to the show except to show how dumb you must really be.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:56 am
Time to stop this radical crap, see the world and for what it is becoming, and take it back from the liberals , and the feel good fakes who want to give to da poor and steal from the rich. If you succeed that is what it is all about. You should not have it handed to you. Maybe Alan you could spend the money you make on free healthcare fo all the po people who do not have it, and give dem the free house that they cannot pay 4, thats why we gots the crisis now, cuz the idiots like you want to give houses to people who can’t and won’t pay 4 dem. STAND UP PEOPLE AND FIGHT THIS CRAP
October 7th, 2008 at 1:01 am
Also, I have healthcare at over 300.00 a month, and work 3 jobs to pay my bills, support my family and try to enjoy my life. I do not have welfare or food stamps, my income is not derived by having 15 kids wit 15 baby mommas. In other words I am responsible for my own actions as the democrats, and liberals do not think should be the case. They think that every person who does not work or has 15 chillins should have a free house, free food free healthcare etc. But they want the people who play by the rules and make the effort to work and have a good life to pay for other idiots who do not work, make babies for money, do drugs etc, and the good old governmnet should take my money to pay for their life. HELL NO , IT AINTS GOING TO HAPPEN NO MO. TIME FOR THE PEOPLE TO TAKE BACK THIS WORLD BEFORE IT GOES DOWN THE TOILET.
October 7th, 2008 at 1:14 am
Finally someone put your mouth where it belong, your mama. You deserved it. You are the most annoying charater on tv. I felt so sorry to Hannity he losing his vieweres. Get out of this job and something else to do.
October 7th, 2008 at 10:24 am
T Mason, the way you go after me every time I post something, no matter what, makes me think that maybe YOU’RE into me in some weird little way. By your logic, every time you go after a girl (like poor me!) and say mean things about her, you diminish ALL women (*sniff*).
But if you have a thing for me that you’re feeling a little scared and confused about, that’s OK. Sorry to disappoint you, I don’t swing that way, but I feel bad for you.
But hey! I guess that would mean you’re the pathetic little girl who has a crush on the, what was it? “girl in high school who wasn’t good enough to play basketball so she wiped up the sweat off the gym floor during the game.”
Maybe you’ll get a sense of humor for Christmas.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
Michael Stephens…
“Alan are a total idiot”
Now, that’s great. Did you think that up all by yourself, or is your Starbucks cup handy?

“Finally someone put your mouth where it belong, your mama. You deserved it. You are the most annoying charater on tv. I felt so sorry to Hannity he losing his vieweres. Get out of this job and something else to do.”
Do you really make this stuff up? Egads, such wonderful phrasing, composition, and grammer. Did you break your crayons when you wrote this diatribe? Someone, please call SNL or Late Night….we have more material for them.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:21 pm
Sarah,
You tried that argument with a lady the other day who was taking you to task. Do you eventually use that with ANY female who disagrees with you?
Don’t flatter yourself.
I disagree with you and plenty of other people on this board. The difference is, the other people on here who are liberals actually use facts to back up what they argue and they make it interesting. They make arguments about their viewpoint, not about them and how simply wonderful they think they are. Your grade school comebacks showcase just how asinine you really are.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:26 pm
This video clip reminds me of why I quit watching TV news.
It brings to mind the wonderful quote from Desiderata by Max Ehrmann:
“Avoid loud and aggressive people, they are vexations to the spirit.”
October 7th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
T, I’m just saying, you post to every single thing I post, and even if I direct nothing at you, you’re quick to single me out and leap all over me for any opinion or fact-backed rebuttal I have.
I post plenty of information on here to buttress my arguments (which I think is the thing that REALLY annoys you, since it’s obviously getting to you), you’re the one who ignores them, going weepy with emotion and casting baseless aspersions.
I’m just acknowledging your odd behavior, feel free to review the posts on this board to see how you come off, if you’re ready to be honest with yourself.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Finally someone put your mouth where it belong, your mama. You deserved it. You are the most annoying charater on tv. I felt so sorry to Hannity he is losing his viewers. Get out of this job and find something else to do.
