Alan Colmes makes me fucking sick

[VermontDem2004]

He is arguing with a guy who went over into Iraq as a Human Shield. I thought he was a democrat? :puke: This guy was obviously hand picked by Hannity.

1. Write Fox a letter

Demand they hire some real liberals if they wanted to be taken seriously.

[pansypoo53219]

6. as if

like they WANT to be taken seriously, except by their fuxheads

[Iluvleiberman]

7. Geraldo Rivera and Mara Liasson

They are on Faux and I like those two.

[pstokely]

23. they don't care if they are taken seriously

all they want is a freeper wingnut audience

[JasonBerry]

2. Exactly! - Give CNN Credit of Late

Good fill-in hosts on the left on Crossfire

[guajira]

3. Here's the email address for the prick!

Let Allen know what you think at this address:

4. Colmes is a typical 'Dem' proffered by the right wing thugs

Whenever the RW media whores need a 'progressive voice' they pick a weak wishy washy mealy mouthed mouse of a man to fill the slot. Colmes is the perfect shill for these people. I remember when he had a radio show and just got hammered by his callers. He was too pathetic to keep on the air. Of all the strong eloquent progressives out there, why cound't FOX have chosen one of them? Obviously they need someone weak to prop up Hannity,

5. alan colmes -> all one scam

8. Bill Press is a badass

Bill Press would have Hannity in tears.

[TacticalPeek]

10. A high school debate coach would have Hammity in tears.

(Thanks, high school debate coach.)

[Oracle]

13. Anyone would...Bill Press is a, ugh..moderate.

That's why he's on...the only real liberal with the highest ratings MSNBC ever had...Donahue, was fired...because he had real, liberal guest and he was starting to get through. and Gereral Electric (third largest weapons maker and owner of MSNBC, CNBC and NBC) wanted him gone.

[indictrichardperle]

15. I think Press does a good job

i dont think hes a "centrist" . What position is Press so middle of the road on ? I cant think of many.

Of all the left wing punching bags on corporate television, Press is probably the best, i concede Donahue is more left.

[Oracle]

18. "all the left-wing" on corporate television...WOW...name them...

Since I quit watching television news ten months ago...I may be misinformed...enlighten me, please, what have I've been missing?

Nothing I fear.

[indictrichardperle]

19. i said "left wing punching bags"

"on corporate television", what part of that dont you understand ?

Now tell me where Bill Press is so moderate, and not left of center ? which issue?

[Oracle]

20. Again, it's been ten month's...

I recall when I stopped watching corporate news, how he was in agreement with Pat on the need to invade Iraq...

Perhaps he's liberal..as liberal as me? Very doubtful.

I'm happy to hear you feel he's giving a liberal and balance to Pat.

However, it still doesn't make much of an impact when debated...

Unlike a Donahue, who had true progressive guest to reitirate his positions.

I do recall I liked Bill Press on Crossfire...but again, on a debate show where things get loud and distorted.

I'm absolutely sure MSNBC they thought Donahue would fall flat on his face, and they could say "SEE" liberals don't do well on TV...I also recall Pigman Limbaugh being so pissed off that MSNBC was giving Donahue his own show...when he didn't fall flat and was starting to soar, they canned him.

But thanks for your insights...no, I still won't start waching the Big Five Republican corporate news again.

I'm more informed than I've ever been...and that means...more pissed and depressed as well.

[indictrichardperle]

22. you are mistaken

Press and Buchanan both opposed the war in Iraq. Do a google search, some of Press' essays/columns were featured on antiwar.com. Buchanan is very anti-war, old conservatives like he and Novak are anti neo-con.

Buchanan and Press is actually a very good show, in context of whats on corporate electronic media.

9. Do you think the average Dem is like a typical DUer?

The average Democrat would be far far to the right of nearly any poster on this site. I dont see Colmes as any different than the average Dem.

[indictrichardperle]

11. thats half true

people here are very well informed, interested and motivated politically, so they are possibly described as more "liberal".

But the point with Colmes isnt necessarily his views, its his half-hearted punching bag effort, he is a well paid straw-man. An actor doing a weak imitation of a democrat.

[Devlzown]

12. You may be right.

And I think that's scary as hell!

[MisterP]

14. I hope, for the sake of party and planet, that you're wrong

[JI7]

16. i don't consider him one of us

alan colmes is paid to be the loser "liberal or democrat" token on fox news. look at geraldo and how it took whoring himself to get on fox news.

[Iluvleiberman]

17. MSNBC wouldn't let Geraldo cover combat

so he for Faux to cover it.

[JI7]

26. yes, but he had to become a whore first

true, but he didn't just cover combat, he also became a whore.

[Sweetpea]

21. I think he is doing the best he can in his environment.

[corarose]

24. They need to put Alan back in his coffin he's been out too long

He is dead isn't he?

[VOX]

25. Faux News cuts his paycheck. That's all you need to know.

Colmes will never bite the hand that feeds him. He is a "stage liberal," acting the part to be a foil for his idiot boss, Hannity (who poses as a "fair and balanced" partner).

It is one sad act, and I can't even stomach it for five minutes.
