Colmes plays nice in left field

Alan Colmes has been called an on-air punching bag, a runt, wishy-washy, a milquetoast and - this one must really hurt - a conservative at heart.
And these words are from people who usually agree with him.

You should see the E-mails he gets from people who don't. Wrote one disturbed fellow: "When you talk, I fantasize about shooting you. I pretend I have a pistol in my hand and shoot you all over. I pretend to shoot you in the head and in your torso ... If you died, I would celebrate."

"I thought a true liberal is someone who was open to the other side and open to all ideas," he said.

"I certainly lean left and I'm proud of being a liberal - I don't duck that word - but I don't consider myself an idealogue. I see things on an issue-by-issue basis. So I annoy both sides in the process of doing that."

He's the kind of liberal Fox News likes. Hannity would not last 5 minutes against James Carville or Paul Begala.

David Corn. He has a lot more substance.

NT!

left or liberal... it's truth ...forget the names.

I lost interest in the game after the '94 strike, got interested again when the Cubs and the Red Sox had a chance of playing this year and I really don't give a flying f**k if Murdoch has to take a loss on his investment in Faux Sports.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving leech IMHO.

Nothing else really needs to be said.

Just how delusional is Alan Colmes?

Are people too hard on Alan Colmes

...and I'm proud of being a liberal - I don't duck that word - but I don't consider myself an idealogue."

In early articles he said he was actually a moderate but I'm sure FOX didn't appreciate that (not really fair and balanced, ya know) so now he's calling himself a liberal.
