...for his heart felt goodbye to Alan Colmes, President Bush is a class act for making this an easy transition for Obama and how gracious he has been.
Its a shame so many people would rather see Obama fail, than to bring our country together. It is one thing to disagree with someone, it is another to hope our country is destroyed for the sake of revenge on the msm.
Did you find it shameful the past eight years that Democrats and liberals in the media did whatever they could to destroy the Bush presidency and depict gloom and doom in order to take over the government? ns
Obama did not agree with going to war in the first place, this can be debated for years if this was the right decision.
Obama oppossed the surge, he was clearly wrong about this, because the surge has worked, but I do not see how you interpret this as wanting our troops to die.
“We’ve got to get the job done there and that requires us to
have enough troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and
killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.” - B. Hussein Obama
He is talking about all the unfortunate collateral damage. Could it have come out better? Sure it could have, but it does not imply he wants our troops to die or fail.
There have been quite of alot of casualties from friendly fire bythe US military, but the majority of the deaths are from insurgents which is debatable a indirect or direct caus of this war.
How many innocent civilians were killed every year by Hussein's regime?
Were Iraqi families picnicking in the park back then?
Did they have a steady supply of electric power?
Could Christians practice their faith openly?
Did they have a free market economy?
Were they free to express their opinions on their form of governance?
Did they enjoy being taken from their families to visit the rape and torture rooms?
You're a smart, reasonable man, Shawn. Please don't drink the kool-aid.
In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony.
I feel awful for the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis that had to die for every thousand insurgents that we kill.
Shawn, I don't know where you get your 'facts'. If you exclude the Iraqis killed by terrorists, I do believe the number of dead in this war is well below 10,000. I know some leftists say the number of dead is 250,000 to 2,000,000, this is just plain false.

"I feel awful for the tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis that had to die for every thousand insurgents that we kill."
I appreciate your gotcha tactic, because I like to do the same thing to many members here, but where in this statement did I say or even imply our troops killed the innocents.
I clearly meant tens of thousands had to die for every thousand insurgents killed, which is true. I even clarified what I meant.
Well for every one suicide bomber, they seem to take out 30 or more people right?
I'm not going to defend my statement anymore, anyone of the people I talk to on a regular bases know I support the troops. Its unfortunate that I thought you were one of them.
Sweet Jesus man, have you regressed from the almost open minded person that I used to see blogging here? Have you donned the mantle of the f%&*%g typical liberal which says , "If it's my man, I have an excuse?? Are you saying that Jack the Ripper is justified because those ladies gave him an STD???
Go ahead, say something about GW that is on record that he said an d I will agree with you---most of the time__ I will not say "well it was this or that". Tell me that you think the man I voted for twqice is a complete jerk and you will get some defense and some agreement.
Obama was taking the path that would lead him to have the most positive impact of liberal voters. They did not want is to succeed. He did not want us to succeed.
The day after he got elected, I licked my wounds, (it wasn't too hard considering his opponent--the orther Democrat-- McCain), and said to myself--"Let's see what he does, maybe he wil surprise us conservatives and live up to American values, not campaign bullshit. I will hope he does well.".
Clinton, a pandering effort--
Richardson-- a pro-illegal immigration supporter
Napolitano-- a pro-illegal immigration supporter
(please feel free to argue how illegal immigration has helped our economy and our country)
Panetta, A decent guy but good gravy, to take the lead at agency whose job is secrecy and digging out others secre y to say he will have no secrets borders on either stupidity or insanity.
Voted NO on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment.
Voted YES on extending Immigrant Residency rules.
Rated 0% by USBC, indicating an open-border stance
Rated 0% by FAIR, indicating a voting record loosening immigration.
Just added those to show that the person appointed as the AMERICAN LABOR sec'y is an open borders advocate and a supporter of illegals.
I'll stop there Shawn. I went from wishing for his success to skepticism very quickly.
And yes, I know GW is as big a pro-illegal immigration person as anyone I named, and look what has happened to us.
What next --pilots who cannot fly??? Sharing nuclear secrets with Syria or Libya?? Ships that will not have ammo for their weapons, free food stamps for anyone who chooses to sneak in?? Drivers licenses for illegal aliens?? A key mosque in DC??
Believe it or not, I still wish him well. I hope he exposes me as a person with false fears. I don't have much hope>>
It is nice to see you, I wish you would post more often.
I am still the same open minded person, I have said in the past, that I am going to give him a chance but I will not give him a permanent honeymoon. With the State of our nation right now, I will give him one year.
Believe it or not, Illegal immigration is something I am totally with you on. I don't want illegals to jump to the front of the line, especially in front of people like me that did it the good old fashioned way. I have been an American Citizen for 10 years.
"Believe it or not, I still wish him well. I hope he exposes me as a person with false fears. I don't have much hope>>"
that is more like the Shawn I know. Hey, you voted for him--you won, but to be fair, as in the past, you cannot give him free passes. I did not give Bush a free pass. I may have lost a few friends here when I wised up to Bush's global game and posted about it. But, as best as I knew, I was telling the truth. I have since become even more confident that I was right.
PS Thank you for the warm words. I am happy that you are one of U.S., (caps intended) and I hope you continue to be a fair debater. If Obama makes a mess, please admit it. I do not try to deny screwups. Also, please think of me as a conservative, not a member of party. That's another Bush accomplishment. McCain nailed it down.
PS a note about Israel --I have been following its fate since I was 13 years old. They have a right to live in peace. They made some mistakes as they became stronger. They rectified them. Then they went too far in apologetics and gave up land. This resulted in them being considered weak and brought rockets down on them. The Arabs will never find peace. They ,(the Arabs), have instigated, to my best remembrances, every violation of every peace treaty ever signed. .
Those cowardly bastards who gladly sacrifice their wives and children by hiding behind them need to be totally defeated or , if necessary, killed. And liberals and the MSM dare to come up with "similar retaliation" and othe asinine, idiotic, Jew hating rhetoric.
War is to be won--attacks are to be repelled and the invaders, attackers to be severely punished. Most of the folks on the left side will call me a war or hate monger. Go figure.
Those three words, on the face, are patently absurd. And uttered by a dumba** who obviously can't buy a clue, not even with three quarters of a billion dollars in campaign funding.
"Air-raiding villages" implies Dresden style indescriminate carpet bombing, which clearly isn't the case. The fact that this was Barry's idea of what was going on in Iraq clearly show the man just doesn't get it.
Far be it from me, there are others here who can better describe our operations and tactics, including COIN doctrine, in Iraq. But we've fought every aspect of this war (including securing the peace) with the goal of not willy-nilly killing the civilian population. To believe otherwise is naive (Duh1).
I have no idea whether Obama's statement represented a consensus among our military's senior strategists in Afghanistan, but I do know there were coalition generals in the primary areas of combat who fully agreed with his assessment.
Insufficient numbers of ground troops--at least in some regions--were necessitating air raids which were indeed causing collateral civilian casualties, and consequent adverse reactions from many Afghans.

I believe Obama has been a class act since winning the election, he has not thrown any cheap shots at the Bush adminstration and is focused on trying to bring the nation together.
I don't know if this would quality as a class act, but I like how David Gregory is one of the few msm, that is bringing attention the fact that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
So Gregory telling the simple truth makes him 'classy'? All a Democrat has to do is tell the truth to be a 'class act'. Hmmmmmm.
I thought 'classy' was rising above the human impulse to be petty and vengeful towards a rival/enemy.
The woman who introduced BO to politics, would she consider him a class act?
Reverend Wright when BO dropped him like a hot potato in the name of political expediency?
Nana, I'm sure, thought he was when he allowed photographers to take pictures of her ashes. Yeah, CLASSY.
Which brings up another topic. Which of Obama's friends and associates could be considered 'class acts'?
In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony.
The whole "bring our country together" line is tired anyway. Its never gonna happen. The country is 48-48-4 and the 4 decide politics every eight years. And I don't want BHO to succeed if that means that Liberal policies succeed and conservatism is set back.
I know 99 of the people here say it will be a cold day in hell when liberal policies work, but lets just say thearetically that liberal policies work and our nation prospers, why would you not him to succeed?
Why don't we just say all of us hope the economy improves and the world stays peaceful while Obama is president. I, for one, don't think his policies will particularly move us towards those goals, but the goals may be achieved in spite of them. In the short term, Obama is like a someone I hope can fix the leaking pipes, but I sure hate his ideas for remodeling my house.
The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.
I agree conservatives should not wish anything but success for the Obama administration. We should put country ahead of ideology. While we believe the track record of liberalism gives us little indiction that a left turn can possibly work for the nation because it ignores human nature and the nature of the forces that wish us harm. While recognizing this we should at the same time stand for what is right and hope for the best. While some conservatives seem to want Obama to fail so that the concepts of conservatism win the day .....as we often say the market will bear it out ..... if in fact liberalism is a failed ideology then it will fail. My impression of the Libs that hated Bush and wanted the war to be lost were not so much about their ideology but the desire to regain power. Those who wanted and wished for defeat in Iraq are amongst the most disgusting "citizens" of this country and it is very clear that many wanted us to lose .. they still do in my opinion. I do think there is merit to not wanting to come across like those haters. It is a difficult thing to not desire payback because of the sickening way they have treated the Bush admnistration. WE must try to not abandon civility while at the same time keep believing in what is right. Much of my sarcasm and anger I vent regarding Obama is really directed at the media and some of his crazed followers ... he is a man and not a messiah
save money dumb bombs for dumb people... durka durka ... dark_ds said that
I agree, there is much anger and resentment for the msm by conservatives and much of it is deserved, people just have to realize that is patriotic to disagree with our President-elect, but no one wins when they just wish bad things upon him.
Why would anyone who is a citzen of this country wish for it to go to hell? As far as I know, we'll all be on the same elevator. Again, I hope the economy improves, as I'm hurting now. My gut political/economic philosophy tells me that massive spending won't improve the overall economy. Some problems aside, these things are cyclical and corrections take their own time, no matter what the federal government does or doesn't do. My fear is that this massive "fix" will put in place an entrenched socialist economic philosophy that will never go away.
The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals.
"Why would anyone who is a citzen of this country wish for it to go to hell? "
Thats the same thing that I find mind boggling Chris. Make no mistake, I am very afraid of a Obama Presidency. He has not been tested in terrorism, The massive amount of money we are adding on to our debt, it is all a reason for concern.
When people say I will never acknowledge him as President, or I hope things go to Hell when he is the President, it defeats the purpose.
What is the reward? To say I told you so, in four years? A conservative President in 2012?
I did not vote for Bush in 2000, but decided to give him a chance, did not like what he had done and did not vote for him in 04. Had a slight case of BDS for awhile but was cured by early 07 with NB :-)
I was hoping for whoever was elected to unite our country and the person that I voted for did not win, but I am hoping for the best.
I don't think anyone. But if Obama takes us down the road I think he will, then yes, I do want him to fail. Disagreement is just a word. Actions are something else entirely.
And the MSM should go down in flames. They didn't their jobs by vetting Obama. They are an embarrassment and they disgust me.
While I don't agree with those who opening express pure "hate" towards any President..... What bothers me now, is that those same folks who spew hate towards Bush, wish openly for Bush's Admin to fail, wished Bush's death (on TV) and divided this Country with special interest groups for the last 8 yrs, now want to come together as "we the people". Those same folks should have thought about that 8 yrs ago before they tried to win at any cost (which in my opinion they did).......Now, I will support Obama even though I didn't vote for him, because he will be the next President, but I won't sit back and be quiet at the command of his supporters!

Well, you know Fozzie can be a real bear about things. Was I the only one who was struck by the fact that Hannity gave him the Rolex, and Colmes didn't give him anything except the joke gifts they both did? I guess I thought he would bring out something. Colmes is just too dorky for me. I have tried to like the man, but he is skeevy.
I watched the show last night and thought it was very good. The vids they showed of past shows were funny and yeah, why the hell were they hired in the first place? LOL! It was a good show and I'll miss it. Fair and balanced as it should be. Good luck Alan. I'll miss the fun.
Gary
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
I've always felt Alan Colmes was fortunate to have hooked-up with Sean Hannity. Sean allowed Alan access to main stream society, 12yrs worth. Who would have known who Alan Colmes was without Sean Hannity?
I won't miss his interview style, volume over sanity. Ever notice how segments would deteriorate as soon as Colmes was called on, guests who he didn't agree with weren't allowed to answer questions, being badgered was their reward.
To think after spending 12yrs hearing the conservative viewpoint, being steeped in it, he appears to have not absorbed any of it. Colmes's liberal brain-freeze is comparable to an Islamic whack-job's total acceptance and participation in denouncing all things non-Islamic, a form of self imposed insanity.
Like most liberals who make their way off the backs of the productive citizens, Alan made his way with the help of Sean....
Did you see the eyebrow Colmes was waving around back in the day?
Colmes may be a dork and clearly doesn't get it, but obviously he's a nice guy. He was also an easy target for conservatives. We're going to miss you Alan!
Some of the positions Colmes took, such as the position he took recently on the Israeli move into Gaza, was extreme stupid and far left. He was one of those leftist who stated that Israel was using a disproportionate use of force in its fight with Hamas.
So let me get this straight Colmes. If Hamas fires 4000 rockets and kills 10 Israelis (not to mention the destruction of property or the psychological effect on the citizens, especially children), and Israel fires one rocket and kills 10 Hamas members then Israel should stop firing rockets?
Compare a conversation or debate with an intelligent liberal such as Kirsten Powers or Bob Beckel to Alan Colmes, and you understand how irritating is the leftist rote (spelled rot) spewed by this dimwit.
I say again - GOOD RIDDANCE!
----Artificial Intelligence is no match for Natural Stupidity----------
"They are actively promoting the decline of America." ~ Rush Limbaugh on liberals and Democrats
Your point regarding people wanting to see Obama fail, has missed the boat.
The reason I DO NOT WANT TO SEE OBAMA SUCCEED is because HE aka THE ONE, is a MARXIST who has surrounded himself with ALL the LEFT WINGNUTS of the old Clinton administration, and if he succeeds, WE aka AMERICANS will NO LONGER BE LIVING in a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC UNDER GOD!
Therefore, I hope he falls flat on his face, the voters wake up, and he is out before his term expires.
Other than that, THE ONE has my blessings. For good measure, I'll throw my blessing to his gawd awful wife.
The best thing that could happen to Hannity is for that fool Colmbs disappear. Colmbs will try to make it on his own, fail miserably and fade away to nothingness where he belongs.
I agree good riddance. Colmes's principal skill is speed-talking the latest dnc talking points. There are plenty of lefties that have some intellectual honesty like Juan Williams or Kirsten Powers that can fill the Colmes spot yet are able to admit when the party line is wrong.
Goodbye, Alan. For as much as I would disagree with the man's politics, he seems like a truly good person and has a kind of class about him that you don't get from a lot of others in the political talk sphere. He'll be missed.
I thought the tribute at the end of the show was very touching.
"Look, when Keith anchors, he plays it straight down the line.”
-MSNBC President Phil Griffin
Wait just a minute ...if i'm not mistaken all we've heard for the last 18 months is.."eight years of a failed policy"..etc etc etc...this country didn't start it's downhill roll until the dems were elected in '06. Just track the gas prices, that ought to be enough.
That's alright, two years max and they'll be crying to have someone strong on protection as President Bush has been. I'm telling you, Obami is a lost little kitten in this world. We ARE fixin' to be screwed, blued and tattooed.
I myself am not hoping for Obama to fail. I am however hoping for socialism and communism to once again be proven as a failure. If those policies make Obama's presidency a failure then so be it.
If he recognises those policies and doctrines, and is proven to be a far-leftist as his past history has proven, it will be hard for me to support him.
I'm not gonna split hairs over what the left has been doing these last eight years, a lot of folks may be rooting for schadenfreud, but I'll be rooting for America first and the man running it, until he proves my support is not warranted.
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious. "
Alan will be missed, him and Sean showed viewers what a true friendship was all about…. Tolerance and respect for each other’s views with some good old fashion joking around!
Friendship? Probably for them. As for me, I thought I was getting more tolerant and patient in my old age. But now I find that I just don't give a sheet or a rat's ace about what liberals think anymore.
Alan leaving will give Rachel Maddow a shot at being the most clueless democrat talking point regurgitating machine.
I like how they liked each other regardless of having different points of view.... with that said, I never could tell if Alan was paid to act that clueless or really believe the crap he spewed! He did show some of us, just how messed up the far left has become like... you know; an useful idiot! =)

Have you donned the mantle of the f%&*%g typical liberal which says , "If it's my man, I have an excuse?? Are you saying that Jack the Ripper is justified because those ladies gave him an STD???
Go ahead, say something about GW that is on record that he said an d I will agree with you---most of the time__ I will not say "well it was this or that". Tell me that you think the man I voted for twqice is a complete jerk and you will get some defense and some agreement.
Obama was taking the path that would lead him to have the most positive impact of liberal voters. They did not want is to succeed. He did not want us to succeed.
The day after he got elected, I licked my wounds, (it wasn't too hard considering his opponent--the orther Democrat-- McCain), and said to myself--"Let's see what he does, maybe he wil surprise us conservatives and live up to American values, not campaign bullshit. I will hope he does well.".
Clinton, a pandering effort--
Richardson-- a pro-illegal immigration supporter
Napolitano-- a pro-illegal immigration supporter
(please feel free to argue how illegal immigration has helped our economy and our country)
Panetta, A decent guy but good gravy, to take the lead at agency whose job is secrecy and digging out others secre y to say he will have no secrets borders on either stupidity or insanity.
Voted NO on reporting illegal aliens who receive hospital treatment.
Voted YES on extending Immigrant Residency rules.
Rated 0% by USBC, indicating an open-border stance
Rated 0% by FAIR, indicating a voting record loosening immigration.
Just added those to show that the person appointed as the AMERICAN LABOR sec'y is an open borders advocate and a supporter of illegals.
I'll stop there Shawn. I went from wishing for his success to skepticism very quickly.
And yes, I know GW is as big a pro-illegal immigration person as anyone I named, and look what has happened to us.
What next --pilots who cannot fly??? Sharing nuclear secrets with Syria or Libya?? Ships that will not have ammo for their weapons, free food stamps for anyone who chooses to sneak in?? Drivers licenses for illegal aliens?? A key mosque in DC??
Believe it or not, I still wish him well. I hope he exposes me as a person with false fears. I don't have much hope>>
Hi misterbill
January 10, 2009 - 19:27 ET by shawn228It is nice to see you, I wish you would post more often.
I am still the same open minded person, I have said in the past, that I am going to give him a chance but I will not give him a permanent honeymoon. With the State of our nation right now, I will give him one year.
Believe it or not, Illegal immigration is something I am totally with you on. I don't want illegals to jump to the front of the line, especially in front of people like me that did it the good old fashioned way. I have been an American Citizen for 10 years.

January 10, 2009 - 20:40 ET by misterbillthat is more like the Shawn I know. Hey, you voted for him--you won, but to be fair, as in the past, you cannot give him free passes. I did not give Bush a free pass. I may have lost a few friends here when I wised up to Bush's global game and posted about it. But, as best as I knew, I was telling the truth. I have since become even more confident that I was right.
PS Thank you for the warm words. I am happy that you are one of U.S., (caps intended) and I hope you continue to be a fair debater. If Obama makes a mess, please admit it. I do not try to deny screwups. Also, please think of me as a conservative, not a member of party. That's another Bush accomplishment. McCain nailed it down.
PS
January 10, 2009 - 20:50 ET by misterbillPS a note about Israel --I have been following its fate since I was 13 years old. They have a right to live in peace. They made some mistakes as they became stronger. They rectified them. Then they went too far in apologetics and gave up land. This resulted in them being considered weak and brought rockets down on them. The Arabs will never find peace. They ,(the Arabs), have instigated, to my best remembrances, every violation of every peace treaty ever signed. .
Those cowardly bastards who gladly sacrifice their wives and children by hiding behind them need to be totally defeated or , if necessary, killed. And liberals and the MSM dare to come up with "similar retaliation" and othe asinine, idiotic, Jew hating rhetoric.
War is to be won--attacks are to be repelled and the invaders, attackers to be severely punished. Most of the folks on the left side will call me a war or hate monger. Go figure.

"air-raiding villages"
January 10, 2009 - 13:23 ET by BlondeThose three words, on the face, are patently absurd. And uttered by a dumba** who obviously can't buy a clue, not even with three quarters of a billion dollars in campaign funding.
"Air-raiding villages" implies Dresden style indescriminate carpet bombing, which clearly isn't the case. The fact that this was Barry's idea of what was going on in Iraq clearly show the man just doesn't get it.
Far be it from me, there are others here who can better describe our operations and tactics, including COIN doctrine, in Iraq. But we've fought every aspect of this war (including securing the peace) with the goal of not willy-nilly killing the civilian population. To believe otherwise is naive (Duh1).
Cool...
January 11, 2009 - 02:03 ET by JerI have no idea whether Obama's statement represented a consensus among our military's senior strategists in Afghanistan, but I do know there were coalition generals in the primary areas of combat who fully agreed with his assessment.
Insufficient numbers of ground troops--at least in some regions--were necessitating air raids which were indeed causing collateral civilian casualties, and consequent adverse reactions from many Afghans.

Class acts
January 10, 2009 - 12:23 ET by shawn228I believe Obama has been a class act since winning the election, he has not thrown any cheap shots at the Bush adminstration and is focused on trying to bring the nation together.
I don't know if this would quality as a class act, but I like how David Gregory is one of the few msm, that is bringing attention the fact that Hamas is a terrorist organization.

I, for one, don't think his policies will particularly move us towards those goals, but the goals may be achieved in spite of them. In the short term, Obama is like a someone I hope can fix the leaking pipes, but I sure hate his ideas for remodeling my house.

Shawn on this we agree
January 10, 2009 - 14:10 ET by dark_dsI agree conservatives should not wish anything but success for the Obama administration. We should put country ahead of ideology. While we believe the track record of liberalism gives us little indiction that a left turn can possibly work for the nation because it ignores human nature and the nature of the forces that wish us harm. While recognizing this we should at the same time stand for what is right and hope for the best. While some conservatives seem to want Obama to fail so that the concepts of conservatism win the day .....as we often say the market will bear it out ..... if in fact liberalism is a failed ideology then it will fail. My impression of the Libs that hated Bush and wanted the war to be lost were not so much about their ideology but the desire to regain power. Those who wanted and wished for defeat in Iraq are amongst the most disgusting "citizens" of this country and it is very clear that many wanted us to lose .. they still do in my opinion. I do think there is merit to not wanting to come across like those haters. It is a difficult thing to not desire payback because of the sickening way they have treated the Bush admnistration. WE must try to not abandon civility while at the same time keep believing in what is right. Much of my sarcasm and anger I vent regarding Obama is really directed at the media and some of his crazed followers ... he is a man and not a messiah

January 10, 2009 - 14:28 ET by Chris NormanWhy would anyone who is a citzen of this country wish for it to go to hell? As far as I know, we'll all be on the same elevator. Again, I hope the economy improves, as I'm hurting now. My gut political/economic philosophy tells me that massive spending won't improve the overall economy. Some problems aside, these things are cyclical and corrections take their own time, no matter what the federal government does or doesn't do. My fear is that this massive "fix" will put in place an entrenched socialist economic philosophy that will never go away.

January 10, 2009 - 16:29 ET by shawn228"Why would anyone who is a citzen of this country wish for it to go to hell? "
Thats the same thing that I find mind boggling Chris. Make no mistake, I am very afraid of a Obama Presidency. He has not been tested in terrorism, The massive amount of money we are adding on to our debt, it is all a reason for concern.
When people say I will never acknowledge him as President, or I hope things go to Hell when he is the President, it defeats the purpose.
What is the reward? To say I told you so, in four years? A conservative President in 2012?
I did not vote for Bush in 2000, but decided to give him a chance, did not like what he had done and did not vote for him in 04. Had a slight case of BDS for awhile but was cured by early 07 with NB :-)

January 10, 2009 - 13:07 ET by Roscoe MendagoI've always felt Alan Colmes was fortunate to have hooked-up with Sean Hannity. Sean allowed Alan access to main stream society, 12yrs worth. Who would have known who Alan Colmes was without Sean Hannity?
I won't miss his interview style, volume over sanity. Ever notice how segments would deteriorate as soon as Colmes was called on, guests who he didn't agree with weren't allowed to answer questions, being badgered was their reward.
To think after spending 12yrs hearing the conservative viewpoint, being steeped in it, he appears to have not absorbed any of it. Colmes's liberal brain-freeze is comparable to an Islamic whack-job's total acceptance and participation in denouncing all things non-Islamic, a form of self imposed insanity.

Good Riddance to Colmes
January 10, 2009 - 13:34 ET by Rush FanSome of the positions Colmes took, such as the position he took recently on the Israeli move into Gaza, was extreme stupid and far left. He was one of those leftist who stated that Israel was using a disproportionate use of force in its fight with Hamas.
So let me get this straight Colmes. If Hamas fires 4000 rockets and kills 10 Israelis (not to mention the destruction of property or the psychological effect on the citizens, especially children), and Israel fires one rocket and kills 10 Hamas members then Israel should stop firing rockets?
Compare a conversation or debate with an intelligent liberal such as Kirsten Powers or Bob Beckel to Alan Colmes, and you understand how irritating is the leftist rote (spelled rot) spewed by this dimwit.
I say again - GOOD RIDDANCE!

That's alright, two years max and they'll be crying to have someone strong on protection as President Bush has been. I'm telling you, Obami is a lost little kitten in this world. We ARE fixin' to be screwed, blued and tattooed.
I myself am not hoping
January 10, 2009 - 17:36 ET by BlazerI myself am not hoping for Obama to fail. I am however hoping for socialism and communism to once again be proven as a failure. If those policies make Obama's presidency a failure then so be it.
If he recognises those policies and doctrines, and is proven to be a far-leftist as his past history has proven, it will be hard for me to support him.
I'm not gonna split hairs over what the left has been doing these last eight years, a lot of folks may be rooting for schadenfreud, but I'll be rooting for America first and the man running it, until he proves my support is not warranted.

January 10, 2009 - 17:38 ET by BlazerI wonder how Hannity will fare, now that his comic relief is gone?

Friendship!
January 11, 2009 - 09:20 ET by jgarciaAlan will be missed, him and Sean showed viewers what a true friendship was all about…. Tolerance and respect for each other’s views with some good old fashion joking around!
Friendship? Probably for them.
January 11, 2009 - 09:49 ET by cocodrieFriendship? Probably for them. As for me, I thought I was getting more tolerant and patient in my old age. But now I find that I just don't give a sheet or a rat's ace about what liberals think anymore.
Alan leaving will give Rachel Maddow a shot at being the most clueless democrat talking point regurgitating machine.
I like how they liked each
January 11, 2009 - 15:30 ET by jgarciaI like how they liked each other regardless of having different points of view.... with that said, I never could tell if Alan was paid to act that clueless or really believe the crap he spewed! He did show some of us, just how messed up the far left has become like... you know; an useful idiot! =)
