I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt, that you were being the devil’s advocate to all the conservative arguments, if you were, I appreciate it. If not, and the arguments are truly expressing your moral, constitutional and ethical, political conviction, then my mistake, totally misread you and take it all back. God bless.

I was so happy to hear that you were leaving Sean’s show. Over the years I couldn’t stand your pin headed attitude and the fact you would never let any of your guests answer a question before you fired another question at them. I can finally watch a whole Hannity show without turning to another channel when you speak. Now it’s time for you to crawl back under that bias, liberal rock you came from. By the way, your parting gift to Sean was tasteless but I can’t think of any time you had taste or tact while you were on air. Goodbye Colmes, i’ll keep my foam brick for when you make a guest appearances and always remember it’s better to be Hannitized than Colmatose.

If you want to know what’s wrong with this country you need look no further than the nearest mirror. Yes, it’s you and the others of your ilk: Obama, Biden, the Clintons, Gore, the Kennedys, Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Leahy, Schumer, Weiner, Waxler, Waters et al. This country would be much better off without all of you. Move to France or Canada, you all would be a great fit there.
You were the last standing liberal at fox news. Can fox still clain that they’re fair and balance? No its gone full throttle to the right.

I have agreed on all your views. I guess you can’t help looking like a wimp, but you sure could have avoided acting like one. I think Hannity is a spawn of the devil, but he rolled all over you 99% of the time. Good luck on your future, but your appearance on that comedy show was the most humiliating thing I have ever seen. Your wife must have been mortified.
January 11th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Okay, Alan. Now, even I have a beef.
I look forward to hate mail each week so I can kick back, listen to a classic song from the 60’s or 70’s, and chuckle through the posts. How am I supposed to enjoy hate mail with thist techno disco crap?
Is this the way it’s gonna be from now on? If so, I vote for ending the hate mail thread.

================================================
John is so stupid and fixed in his ways that he can’t even imagine someone having a different point of view without them playing a debate game. It’s sad and un-American. I’ll give John the benefit of the doubt and say that he has never heard anything reach his ears that wasn’t GOP-agenda propaganda or FOX-style TV & radio. If this man really read books and speaks to real people about their lives and still thinks all liberals are just making up crazy things then he is a mental midget. Or just a commie piece of crud to use a caller’s words for Alan.
January 11th, 2009 at 6:30 pm
Sean Hannity is the un-American jerk. He wraps himself in the flag but refuses to discuss real issues concerning Americans and instead speaks only of what drives the GOP talking points of the day. Hannity could do so much good with his radio waves but instead they are turned into a lie fest. Alan keeps it real and only drops falsehoods in an unknowning manner. If he had me sitting next to him he’d never do it. Sean on the other hand would say three words and I’d have to correct him. It would be annoying.

Name the lies you are talking about???
January 11th, 2009 at 6:39 pm
POSTED BY BLISSFULCONSERVATIVE
Oooh… oooh…. I got one!
How ’bout when Hannity continually stated that Rezko helped Obama get a discounted price on his house even though the sellers stated that they didn’t cut the price?
Or when he attempted to link Obama to Louis Farrakhan even though Obama had publicly denounced him?
Or the whole distortion of Michelle Obama’s “for the first time, I’m proud of America” thing.
Those are off the top of my head. I’ll come up with some more. Just give me some time.
January 11th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Oh! Just thought of another one!
When Hannity claimed that villages in Afghanistan were not being air-raided (thusly discrediting Obama) when Robert Gates had already publicly apologized for those civilian deaths.
January 11th, 2009 at 7:11 pm
The Rezko/obama house thing is back in play because of the blago deal.
http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=83760
Obama’s church gave louis farrakhan their man of the year award.
She did say that. You can decipher it how you choose, I guess.
So, they weren’t lies, just things you don’t agree with.
January 11th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
And when you look at obama’s full comment, which I just did, the way he said it implies that we are “just” air-raiding villages and killing civilians.
while air raids might have been going on, the way he said it could have led many to believe that we were arbitrarily killing people. That doesn’t boost morale at all.
January 11th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Bliss:
I guess this is a philosophical question… but when does a lie become a lie for you?
For me it’s when a statement is designed to lead someone to believe something different from the intent. I’ll use my boy, Clinton, as an example so you’ll see it more clearly:
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman”.
In my opinion, that statement was a bald face lie. A lawyer could twist it around so that it’s just a difference of opinion as to what “sexual relations” means. In any case, it certainly is not a statement that was intended to reveal the truth.
That’s why I call Hannity’s comments… especially those about the air raids, Michelle Obama, and Farrakhan… lies. They deliberately mislead the public into a different direction than the truth.
January 11th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
A lie is a lie. But it all goes back to, what do you consider relevant relationships and how far in the sand is your head if you deny that obama had ties to these people???
do ties imply guilt?? in some cases they could. But it is quite ironic when someone has SO Many people they have to denounce in such a short amount of time. It says something about the company you keep if nothing else.
What DID michelle obama mean by that statement?
Even an Ex Farrakahn Aid says the two kept open dialogue either through a mediator or otherwise.

Ya kno,. if Mitt Romney’s church had a stance that they were proudly white, etc. etc and gave an award to let’s say, David Duke or some other white supremacist, would that have been important to you??? Would it say something about his character???
Do I think obama will be a good president? i will wait and see.

Besides, if Alan didn’t mask the Democratic talking points into his framing of all his questions, how would I ever have known what they were? Iron sharpens iron everybody. Hearing Alan’s views strengthened my conservative viewpoints and prepared me for discussions I had with others. For that, I am grateful that Colmes was a part of my weeknights. Alan, you will be missed my misguided friend.

When I was in Vietnam I remember the young black solders referring to the Vietnamese people in exactly the same way as the young white solders – gooks. I remember thinking, at the time, that the black solders were no better than the whites. And with respect to the “hate” that both conservatives and liberals continue to spew on both you and Shawn – a pox on all of them.
How about we decrease some of the prejudice on both sides? Create an “Internal Affaires” bureau associated with the Supreme Court for ALL federal and state elected office holders. And require all elected office holders to waive their rights of privacy to that office; which would allow warrantless phone taps, bank account reviews, office and home searches at any time.

Interesting that immediately following 9/11, all flights were grounded except for one. The one carrying Bin Laden out of the U.S.

You will be missed. I have listened to you and Sean for years and although I disagreed with you completely on many things, I enjoyed your demeanor and usual respect. This hate mail business kinda discredits that. There are stupid people everywhere and on both sides of the aisle. And it does nothing for the unification that Obama and the left profess to be for.
Good luck on your new venture.

I listen to your show on Air America as I drive home on the nights that I teach– I only wish I were able to get the show all the way home but, alas, I lose a signal somewhere immediately over the GW Bridge. I just wanted to say that I’m embarrassed for the individuals who posted in the “hate mail” area. Most of them cannot use proper grammar nor can they spell. I find it interesting that their ignorance is apparent not only in their love of that un-intellectual, disgraceful Hannity, but also in their ability to clearly write in Standard English.

Who? You mean Ayers don’t you? Well, guess what. Ayers is not a domestic terrorist. Oh, did that hurt your eyes reading that. That’s because it’s the truth that the GOP doesn’t want you to know. Sure, when he was younger Ayers was a psycho. But to be a terrorist you have to actually do things and advocate for destroying something or whatever. Ayers is a teacher.
Got anything else? Like what terrorist the Illinois State BAR and the Congressional Senate chose to ignore when checking out Obama? Maybe a little thinking is in order here. Where did you hear that statement you repeated? Maybe on some vicous anti-Democrat venue? Ever checked the facts on FOX or any of these guys?
Anyway, your a terrorist if you are going to use loose defintions of terrorist. If you will back off using terrorist as a club to hit everyone who disagrees with you then MAYBE you can be a non-terrorist. Only maybe. I have to check with the Supreme Council of Hating Everyone to see if you can be called an American again.

January 12th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
TDRO, Ayers killed 3 people…that we know of…research the Greenwich Village explosion.
Whether they were his people or not, the three are dead as a direct result of Ayers’ ideology.
January 12th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
Jared:
From the New York Times;
“Bin Laden Kin Exodus From US Days After 9/11 Aided by FBI – New York Times
In the frenzied days after Sept. 11, 2001, when some flights were still grounded, dozens of well-connected Saudis, including relatives of Osama bin Laden, managed to leave the United States on specially chartered flights. The F.B.I. gave personal airport escorts to two prominent Saudi families who fled the United States, and several other Saudis were allowed to leave the country without first being interviewed.”
— New York Times, 3/26/05
Ayers killed 3 people (alledgedly)? Compared to Bin Laden? Give me a break.
And why was Bush is such a hurry to get the Bin Ladens out of the US?
January 12th, 2009 at 5:13 pm
TDRO,
Ah, but you didn’t say “Bin Laden family” you said “bin Laden”. Big difference. Post the link to that NYT article, if you would…
And the deaths at Greenwich Village weren’t “allegedly”…they really died…really. Who compared Ayers to Bin Laden?
January 12th, 2009 at 5:22 pm

Eric,
Uh, think again about Ayers being a terrorist.
From Wiki:
William Charles Ayers (born December 26, 1944)[1] is an American elementary education theorist who was a 1960s anti-war activist. He is known for the radical nature of his activism in the 1960s and 1970s as well as his current work in education reform, curriculum, and instruction. In 1969 he co-founded the violent radical left organization the Weather Underground, which conducted a campaign of bombing public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s.
I’d think “conducting a campaign of bombing public buildings during the 1960s and 1970s” would make him a terrorist…
January 12th, 2009 at 7:49 pm
“h, but you didn’t say “Bin Laden family” you said “bin Laden”. Big difference. Post the link to that NYT article, if you would…
What’s the difference Jared? The Bin Laden family was allowed to leave the country without being questioned. I find that suspicious. And I would love to post the NYT article, but every time I try to post something here, it gets lost in limbo.
And I’m sure the deaths in Greenwich actually happened. I’m saying Ayers was allegedly responsible for their deaths. I thought you may have gotten my drift.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
Whether they were his people or not, the three are dead as a direct result of Ayers’ ideology.
I don’t like Ayers (he is a creep, Karthik) – but Ayers didn’t have anything to do w/ those idiots blowing themselves up. I’m not a fan of ‘thought’ crimes, he didn’t kill those three.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:02 pm
TDRO,
Until I find the article and read it myself, and find out the sources, I’d be hard pressed to believe a blatant left-wing “news” source on something like this.
Ayer’s had nothing to do with the three people killed in Greenwich Village??? Really? He was the leader of the Weather Underground…the three killed were members of the weather underground…Ayers’ declared war on the US government…his soldiers committed the acts. That’s a open and shut case.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Jared:
While I agree what Ayres did was reprehensible, he was never convicted of any crime. Case closed on that subject.
Now onto Obama’s association. Are you suggesting Obama was the “lookout” for Ayres when he was 8 years old?
Please explain why Obama’s acquaintence with Bill Ayes is such a big deal?
Also, I’m going to try to paste the article again below. If it doesn’t show up, you’ll have to look it up yourself.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:40 pm
TDRO,
He wasn’t convicted because of a technicality.
The company you keep speaks volumes to your character. Never before in our history have I seen a man running for president who had to dismiss so many from his life because they had a shady, sometimes criminal past, and even a criminal present.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:43 pm

I’ve never said that Obama was anything FOR Ayers’ however, you don’t conduct business dealings with a known domestic terrorist, then blurb a book for him, say he’s “just someone in the neighborhood”, then say “oh, well, I thought he was rehabilitated.” This just isn’t adding up for me.

IMO, you did a fine job considering the resident bastion of right wing pall that pervades the “network”.
I continue to have to listen to hours of Fox anyway ’cause my resident charge holds the remote and is mindlessly waiting for some validation of what the Republican Party never really was or will ever live up to. Her hearing is bad and the tv in the other room (hence the listening) and it’s always blaring!!

January 13th, 2009 at 12:59 am
I just find it funny that the left is so quick to label FoxNews as right winged, and while they may lean more to the right than you want, it still does not compare to the blatant leftist political machine disguised as news called CNN, MSNBC, etc. They make no attempt with their Olberman shows and others that are just as left as him. What do you want for petes sake, all news groups being leftist or is it that you just have issue with the middle to right having one that leans a little their way. Get over yourself and if you do nto like the shows, change stations. Most people forget that on stations like the above listed, there are two catagories, news and opinions. Fox devotes a large segment of their air time to news, but also has opinion shows. They at least make an attempt to have some from the leftist view on their shows, even without Colmes. Can not say that for the other ones.
And Colmes leaving was most likely the best thing he ever did for his own pride. He was outgunned on that show and for the most part, could not stand up to Hannity and the overwhelming knowledge he has on current affairs. More times than now, he was made the fool and could do nothing about it. Let him go to where he can have his views with no opposition as that is the only way he will look as if he knows what he is talking about. Competition is not a good thing for Colmes, he does not stand up well.

yes, Olberman, Maddow, perhaps others are overtly liberal, but the networks (CNN, MSNBC) don’t use or allow brainwashing phrases like “fair and balanced” “unafraid” “no spin” with such blatant hypocrisy as Fox.
Ok, maybe CNN’s C.Brown’s “No Bias” is bull, but the hacks at Fox are drooling with prejudicial conceptual context with most every story. (that is, after the filter or contrivance of what actually constitutes a story.)
January 13th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
Roll’en biscuits:
Funny you should mention that. A few nights ago on Hannity and Colmes, Hannity accused Obama of “fear mongering” because he said the state of the economy is dire.
Reminded me of Bush and his “be afraid, be very afraid” policy prior to attacking Iraq.
January 13th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
I find it difficult to bother becoming tripped up with any particular Hnnutty comment, I give him so little weight or credibility with his OPINIONS.
As is… I accept his ideological bias and expect his hyperbole as rhetorical graffiti to stoke the straw man for his deeper political frustrations. To the extent it distorts the issues in the minds of his “believers”, I guess they fall that much farther behind as their ilk has been so thoroughly rebuked at with elections ‘08.
Here’s a funny.. look at FRANKEN!!
I’d like to see Limbawl or any of the Fox clown “experts” take the test!! Bet they couldn’t win ‘dog catcher’ at the polls, but maybe they could clean up the Bold Fresh Pieces of…

opps, forgot to comment on the “fear mongering” thing.
Having qualified as ‘par for the course’ hyperbole, I’ll add that Obama and others will likely need to continue raising the bar or overstating the case for action with the economy as things have strayed so far from easy solutions *AND* the American public is so far behind the curve. (”Unprecedented” will soon be seen as just an excuse for having not paid attention all these years!)
As hard as our govt and leaders try to “go big” on this issue, we’re still likely to see things fall apart. Nothing short of a major correction with the state of our consumer and national debt will bring sanity. Not advocating total default, but a percentage needs to be served up on a platter to the creditors of relative distribution. And i’m not talkin’ garnish or even side dish here… “Fear mongering” will seem quaint when the reality of what’s required sets in!

“Bush and his “be afraid, be very afraid” policy prior to attacking Iraq” was classic mind f2cking with the masses. Now he’s ready to move on and expects the crimes of abusing government powers to go unexamined! Open the hearings I say, what do they have to be afraid of? Hold ‘em at Gitmo while we deciderate. Send Joe the Plumber as embedded reporter!

I am sorry that I no longer can see a H&C show, with you as the C. It does not work for my husband or me without you. We seriously dislike the new format so far. Granted, more often than not I was asking WTF when you would speak, but I would also yell at Sean to shut up and get over it. And in all honesty, an TV hour of Sean talking after 3 hours on the radio is just too much.
It was good to get both points of view on one show. I do like to listen to both sides and determine what is actually the truth. As each side with skew the facts it can be a challenge!
Now I have to be a serious channel surfer to get the both sides.
As much as you drove me to yell at my TV, you are missed and I wish you the best.

Leroy,
Sean didn’t need Alan to mess him up. He did that well enough on his own.
