I stumbled across the following “Tweet” from Fox News Contributor Alan Colmes yesterday: here’s the teabagger mentality rt @RightKlik REAL Americans shut down Washington today. Not liberals…REAL PATRIOTS. Translation for our non Twitter using readers (get with the program yo!) Mr. Colmes is using the term “teabagger” to respond to a claim that liberals are not REAL Americans.

Let's call it a "blast from the past." Yesterday, David Horowitz noted with perceptible disgust that former Sean Hannity sidecar occupant Alan Colmes had waved away criticism of disgraced "Green Jobs Czar" and admitted Communist Van Jones by describing Jones as simply "a mainstream liberal." (Insert your own joke here.) What struck me about Horowitz's post was his opening line: "If you didn't believe it when I said it..." Back in 2006, I saw and heard Alan Colmes say something on his old FOX News show that I tried to convince myself I'd misheard.

Here is video of Laura Ingraham, in for Bill O'Reilly, talking to Alan Colmes about Obama changing the meaning of Sept. 11 to a national day of service. (Watch Video)

NEW YORK (ABP) -- A former Southern Baptist Convention officer who on June 2 called the death of abortion provider George Tiller an answer to prayer said later in the day he is also praying "imprecatory prayer" against President Obama. Wiley Drake, pastor of First Southern Baptist Church in Buena Park, Calif., and former running mate of American Independent Party presidential candidate Alan Keyes, said June 2 on Fox News Radio he didn't understand why people were upset with his comments quoted by Associated Baptist Press from a webcast of his daily radio talk show. "Imprecatory prayer is agreeing with...

Here is video of last night's Hannity where Alan Colmes talked with Sean Hannity about his exclusive interview with unrepetant terrorist William Ayers. A couple of clips from the interview are played, with Ayers saying he does not regret what he did during the Vietnam-era when he set bombs at the Pentagon and other places. He also said that President Obama's decision to send more troops to Afghanistan is a "colossal mistake," and he fears Obama's "hopeful administration" could easily "burn up" in Afghanistan, much like Lyndon Johnson's presidency in Vietnam. . . . .

BC: I must say that I am filled with admiration for the way you sat before those inquisitors/twits on The View and remained dignified throughout. Apart from publicly displaying your bravery, what’s the payoff from appearing alongside those demented harpies? Ann Coulter: Being around that bunch makes me feel younger and more attractive! It’s like going to a spa. BC: Do you have any untelevised comments from that appearance you wish to share? Perhaps something along the lines of their lambasting you during a commercial break? Ann Coulter: Actually I think the show speaks very well for itself. That’s why...

Something is missing from Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes"...OH YEAH! It's COLMES! But I'm not watching Hannity now that he's a solo act! NOTE: The author of this comic requests that you visit his web site and please refrain from copying the cartoon within this thread. Thanks!

Here is video of the final segment from tonight's final show of Hannity & Colmes. Alan Colmes and Sean Hannity part ways, and this are their final words to each other. Sean Hannity begins a new show that is all Hannity next Monday, January 12. . . . (watch video)

Tonight on H&C, Aaron Cohen, former Israeli Special Forces Operative, was on to discuss the Israeli war against the terrorist organization Hamas in Gaza. Alan tries to go all “oh, the humanity!” on him, and Cohen proceeds to go nuclear on Alan’s a**, handing it right to him. Heh.

Mark Stein is filling in for Sean Hannity tonight, 9:00 est.

Who do you think would be an appropriate replacement for Alan Colmes on FOX News's Hannity & Colmes program?

Fox News announced that after 12 years, Alan Colmes will be leaving the top-rated "Hannity & Colmes" at the end of the year. “I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network," Colmes said in a statement. "Although it’s bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years.” Sean Hannity...

Broken by Radio Equalizer, confirmed by Fox News. In announcing his decision, Colmes said, “I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network. Although it’s bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years.” Colmes will continue to have a presence on FNC as he will serve as a liberal...

FOX News Channel’s (FNC) Alan Colmes will relinquish his role as co-host of Hannity & Colmes at the end of the year. In announcing his decision, Colmes said, “I approached Bill Shine (FNC’s Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network. Although it’s bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I’m proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years.” Colmes will...

Jocelyn Elise Crowley (Colmes) is the wife of leftist Alan Colmes of Hannity and Colmes fame. She was on the show last evening touting her book. This review from Amazon.com says it all: If you Google Jocelyn Elise Crowley, you'll find that she's a professor of Woman's Studies. So it's no wonder she's written a book that trashes the fathers rights movement. On the last page (269) we find the statement: "Why should men alter their political agenda to help secure equality for women?" Which is what she is proposing as the conclusion to this book. On page 11, she...

Alan Colmes opens the program saying that Palin greeted guests in her room only dressed in a towel Lies She had a bathrobe on, and didn't know anyone was in her room He said she spend much more on clothes then reported. Lies She didn't spend anything The McCain Campaign decided to buy her clothes. Colmes said Palin didn't know that Africa was a continent, not a country Another lie She didn't know what countries were in NAFTA More lies Taken out of context She didn't know what countries make of North America Lies, and completely absurd It goes on...

If the Odinga connection (with over 50 people dead,some burned alive after the election) that Obama supported doesn't interest people, nothing will. Sean has pushed the Rezko, Wright and Ayers stories into the mainstream and hopefully this one will be the tipping point (if McCain ever mentions it).

Anybody catch the Hannity and Colmes show? Man, Dick Morris looked like he was going to burst after Colmes started spouting his talking points. Morris just ripped into him after that and didn't let go that's for sure. Wow. Curious if anyone else caught that. JB

Haha he called him brainless and basically told him to get a clue. It was brilliant! Colmes just got OWNED!

Colmes: I don't know how John McCain and Sarah Palin present themselves as reformers. she took oil money when she ran for Lt. Governor. John McCain has oil lobbyists. Rick Davis who's campaign manager.. Rove: You know Alan.. Colmes: was a lobbyist.. Rove: Alan with all due respect you can rattle on all you want about this. But if this is the standard then you have to tell me why Tom Daschle is in charge of the transition for Senator Obama? And why Jim Johnson the former head of Fannie Mae was the head of his Vice Presidential Search Committee?...

Will Sean Hannity call Colmes out on the carpet for the despicable comments he made this weekend about Sarah Palin's baby? I don't remember exactly what he said but it was about the rumor of the baby being Bristol Palin's and then he retracted it on Sunday with a pseudo-apology

Alan Colmes not only stands by his vile remarks on Governor Palin, but urges us to "bring it on" as he defends his statements. I say we "Bring It!"

Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Natal Care? August 30th, 2008, 9:54 PM EDT   Rogers Cadenhead gives the timeline associated with the birth of her newest child.  She had a speech in Dallas and, even after the water broke, continued with her activities, and then boarded a plane for home. She did consult by phone with her doctor.    Still, a Sacramento, Calif., obstetrician who is active in the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said when a pregnant woman’s water breaks, she should go right to the hospital because of the risk of infection. That’s true even if the amniotic fluid simply leaks...

**Update: TV's Alan Colmes Says Palin's Neglect Caused Down Syndrome Birth Stress!!** **Update #2 Below the Fold- Pregnancy Confirmed** **Update #3 Below the Fold- Michael Moore and Media Take Notice** **Update #4- London Times Now Repeats Fake Pregnancy Claim** **Update #5- CTV News Now Repeats Fake Pregnancy Claim** As I reported earlier, the scurrilous claim that McCain vice presidential pick Governor Sarah Palin faked her pregnancy with a Down's Syndrome child is beginning to spread among the lowest of the nutrooters. Now, the unhinged, smear site DemocraticUnderground.com has boosted this lie to their front pages. Naturally, since these hate sites...

Alan Colmes of Hannity and Colmes wrote a post so inappropriate and offensive the Kos Kiddies would be envious. He accused Governor Palin of not taking enough care of Trig when he was an unborn baby. A man who has no problem with a woman killing her unborn baby through an abortion actually has the nerve to ask if Governor Palin took too great a risk with her pregnancy:Rogers Cadenhead gives the timeline associated with the birth of her newest child. She had a speech in Dallas and, even after the water broke, continued with her activities, and then boarded...

Alan Colmes has been on a downward spiral for the ages since John McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his presumptive Vice-Presidential nominee. Fellow NewsBuster Warner Todd Huston caught Colmes scraping bottom at his Liberaland web site last night, as the lefty talker and Sean Hannity piñata asked "Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Natal Care?" in connection with Palin's pregnancy and childbirth earlier this year. Trig Palin was born with Down's Syndrome on April 18. whiff of sanity appears to have prevailed, as the entry is now empty. Also not present: an apology. (Update, 3:30 p.m. -- Here's Colmes's "apology." You can...

Here is Alan Colmes in his own words, or his fans' own words, or other people's words... He's still digging. It’s About Judgment, Stupid August 31st, 2008, 1:43 PM EDT The post about Sarah Palin’s pre-natal care was taken down because of the vile comments made by a pletehora of conservatives who decided to invade the site and show us just how decent and value-driven some of them are.  Nothing like epithet-hurling if you want to make your point, or if you have strong objections to what someone says or does.   Furthermore, I in no way mean to suggest that...

Conservative Family Values August 29th, 2008, 4:13 PM EDT In her speech in Dayton today, Gov. Sarah Palin announced that she and her husband are celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary, which means they were married on August 29, 1988. On April 20, 1989 – less than eight months after they eloped – their first son, Track, was born. I think I can guess the real reason why they eloped, and it wasn’t to save money on an expensive wedding. Posted in Liberaland by Alan leave a comment • trackback

Human life may begin at conception (gotta love Peggy Noonan in the WSJ—“what do they think it is, a 1948 Buick?”), but according to Alan Colms, “personhood” is not achieved until a child exits the birth canal alive and in accordance with its mother’s wishes. This is eerily suggestive of Peter Singer’s assertion that babies (alive, out-of-the-uterus, breathing on their own, pooping, crying infants) do not truly have “personhood” for several months after birth, and that therefore, such non-person human beings may be terminated at the will of the parents. Claiming to know when to assign the status of “person”...

Holy crap! Alan Colmes has just taken some woman from NOW and some guy from the NABJ (Nat'l Association of Black Journalists) to task for opposing the return of Don Imus to radio!Colmes is arguing that these people need to let the free market work!My beeber is officially stuned.

According to Alan Colmes, since evil dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not a liberal, but instead a "conservative," then conservatives in America should not be offended because the Iranian leader received better treatment on a college campus than some of America's conservative political figures, some of whom have been met with attacks with pies or other violence. Such was the absurd argument suggested by the liberal FNC host during a discussion on Monday's "Hannity and Colmes." Colmes commented to conservative guest/author David Horowitz: "Ahmadinejad's not a liberal. He's a conservative. He's very right wing. He was welcome at Columbia University. You...

The disinformation campaign against the Haditha Marines continues despite exonerations and dismissed charges. This was quite evident during Thursday night’s discussion on Hannity and Colmes.  Jason Mattera, the young man who dared confront John Murtha about his claims of “cold blooded murder” was a guest and Jane Fleming Kleeb represented the dissenting viewpoint. Alan Colmes gave us a hint about the latest tactic to diminish the results of the 2 year Haditha investigation when he questioned the integrity of  General James Mattis. COLMES: The person clearing these people is Lieutenant General James Mattis. Let me put up on the screen...

BOB BECKEL, GUEST CO-HOST: Governor, this is Bob Beckel in for Alan Colmes. You just said something interesting in your response before. You said that those are the kinds of things said by people on the other side. Are you suggesting that Barack Obama is on the other side of the United States on this war? You said the other side. I'm curious what you meant by that. ROMNEY: I meant the other side of the aisle. Democrats have been saying — for instance, Harry Reid said we lost the war, forgetting of course that we knocked down Saddam Hussein...

General David Petraeus appeared on Alan Colmes' radio program yesterday. That's a smart move by the general, and Colmes is a fine host, though his site doesn't provide transcripts. The folks who slandered the general for appearing on my show will now be writing what? UPDATE: Here's a transcript provided by a reader. I can't vouch for its complete accuracy, but I trust the sender: "ALAN COLMES, FOX NEWS HOST: We welcome the commander of the Multi-National Force, General David Petraeus. General, thank you so much for being with us tonight. GENERAL DAVID PETRAEUS, COMMANDER, MULTI-NATIONAL FORCE, IRAQ: Good............. COLMES:...

OK! Here's my question to liberals appeasers, so far I didn't get ANY answer on this (besides a lib/lip/sipn). Why did Islamic Al Qaeda plan to attack UK on 2001? Before the Iraq war... excuse http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/monitoring/media_reports/1713557.stm Al-Qaeda note suggests 'attack on London' Sunday, 16 December, 2001 I saw yesterday Alan Colmes telling (on H&C) Oliver North that it's not radical Islam it's not "Islam¨". Hey, I like you as a person but not your opinions. Alan, 1) Do you know any better then the Muslims themselves, as to what Islam is & what it is not? 2) They do it...

At 9:00pm EDT tonight, Governor Romney will be a live, in-studio guest on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes." Make sure to watch Mitt tonight on Fox News Channel!

Alan Colmes refers to "George Bush and His Henchmen" during the Hannity and Colmes hour. The guests were Michael Reagan and Bob Beckel. At the end of the segment Hannity referred to the "appeasement Democrats" and Becked responded "Appease this." Quite a lively night for Colmes and his henchman Beckel.

Group upset at the fact that KTLK (Air America in LA) terminated shows like "Harrison on the Edge" in favor of "Mr KTLK" (formerly Mr KABC) and Alan Colmes. Apparently the new hosts aren't left-wing enough. There's an effort to contact/boycott national sponsors over this...abomination! :) "All over the country they are trying to scuttle strong progressive radio stations, like in Madison, WI (where we the people beat them back), and in Boston where they got away with it. And now they have a new politically hostile strategy, to squeeze out our strongest and most courageous voices and REPLACE them...

On the February 9th broadcast of Hannity & Colmes, Alan Colmes made an outrageous and poisonous statement that was not corrected on air.Speaking to Oliver North, Colmes supported Congressman John Murtha's ugly and destructive lie that, "no question about it", Marines in Haditha had "killed innocent civilians in cold blood".Defending the indefensible, Colmes told the viewers that there have been "confessions and convictions" in the Haditha Marine case.Now Darryl Sharratt, the father of a Haditha Marine has a question: "I would like to ask Alan Colmes where he got his information. There have been no convictions. There have been no...

Tonight's Hannity and Colmes featured an interview with Col. Oliver North about the media coverage of Iraq and the William Arkin slam against our soldiers. During the course of the interview, Alan Colmes claimed that Rep. John Murtha was right when Murtha accused our Marines of killing innocent civilians in Haditha in cold blood. Col. North immediately reminded Colmes that the Marines had yet to face a trial therefore they were innocent until proven guilty. Colmes replied "there were confessions". Here's my personal transcript of that portion of the interview... Colmes: Murtha turned out to have correct information. Dick Durbin...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And they're monitoring our people to try to prevent the one person from coming up with the one idea. And the one idea is how we are going to exterminate white people. Because that, in my estimation, is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off of the face of the planet to solve this problem. SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Last night, we brought you this story of former North Carolina State University professor Kamau Kambon, who made those comments at a forum on media coverage of Hurricane Katrina last year. It has...

From the H&C website: The director of a shocking new film about radical terrorism talks with 'H & C'.

Alan Colmes, last night: “Jim Angle, who reported this for FOX News, quotes a defense official who says these were pre-1991 weapons that could not have been fired as designed because they’d already been degraded ..." Here's what you find when you do some digging on the Internet about mustard gas: a letter from two United Nations weapons inspectors to the President of the Security Council from 1999: " a dozen mustard-filled shells were recovered at a former CW storage facility in the period 1997-1998. The chemical sampling of these munitions, in April 1998, revealed that the mustard was still...

The voice of the AFLAC duck has been named the Unsexiest Man in the World. Comedian Gilbert Gottfried tops the list compiled by the Boston Phoenix's Web site. The list is a mix of entertainers, sports stars, even terrorists. Osama bin Laden is number eight on the list. Of Gottfried, the Phoenix says "The parrot-voiced, pickled-face comic is to sexy what Kryptonite is to Superman."

Did anyone catch the debate with Hannity/Horowitz versus Ward Churchill? I flipped over to it apparently as it was just beginning. Ward Churchill was extremely disrespectful, rarely made sense, and didn't defend his position. Sean Hannity used his typical "that's outrageous" tactics and really didn't address OR refute the points. Alan kind of danced back and forth between the two, but I must respect him for trying to pin the elusive Churchill down. Horowitz got next to no time, unless they'd talked to him before I came in, but it seemed like he was mismatched anyway, because he never addressed...

Anybody watching this slaughter? Go Larry Go!!!

As "House" was a rerun last night, I switched the channel to Hannity and Colmes. Knowing that Hannity is still on vacation, I expected to find the only-Sean-can-control-him Alan Colmes in totally undisciplined mode. I was not disappointed. When I joined the program, Colmes was beginning a full-court press against former Advisor to VP Cheney Ron Christie. Christie was on camera but, not in-studio. Alan told Christie that the NSA warrantless wiretaps were illegal and asked him to provide an answer as to why they weren't. In his typical wild-eyed-and-mouth liberal fashion, Colmes allowed Christie only 2-3 sentences to explain...
