This is not e-z for me to say: Alan Colmes needs our support

[Fluffdaddy]

I don't think much of Alan Colmes, I feel the only reason Fox has him on is he's weak..................But

Alan Colmes statement about Sarah Palin has got him in a world of hurt. The wing-nuts are hitting him hard. They already shut down (by hacking) his web once, now they are flooding his email and freeping his Comments area. We got to support this guy If the wingnuts can put fear into the left leaning media about going after palin, we are in a world of trouble.

may get 404 Error sometime (wingnut) but keep trying. Go there and read what going on. The wingnuts are also chain calling foxnews to get him suspend

[Fluffdaddy]

7. normally I agree.......But

If the wingnuts can put fear into the left leaning media about going after palin hard with no support from us............we are fucked

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Agreed. It's like potato chips. Think the wingnuts will stop at one liberal talk show host?

[Zhade]

26. LEFT-LEANING MEDIA? Uh, WHAT left-leaning media?

Are you one of those who erroneously believe and enable the rightwing LIE that the media is liberal?

[Fluffdaddy]

31. Air America and MSNBC to name two

[Zhade]

36. MSNBC? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

But I see your point.

[Fluffdaddy]

6. Go read the 2 and 4 story down at the link I posted

[opihimoimoi]

9. All he has to do is say...FUCK YOU ASSHOLES and QUIT

[FarLeftRage]

14. Yes...

and a very loud FUCK YOU FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[opihimoimoi]

17. That would erase his gurly mon image and make him more MANLY

Whas he waiting for???

[FarLeftRage]

24. T'is very true...

maybe the moola - $$$$$$$$$$$$$ is holding him back???

[npk]

33. Even Alan Colmes has to pay the bills

He needs that Fox job like like I need a vacation.

[opihimoimoi]

35. There is such a thing as doing the Manly thing...he is not a poor dude

He had time to squirel some $$

He can look for new job...maybe press secretary for Obama

[Hubert Flottz]

41. With that face of his he could always haunt houses or scare crows

down on the farm.

[Canuckistanian]

47. He'd be welcomed at AAR or NovaM

And quitting Fox would bring him instant street cred.

And lord knows there ain't much big-name talent on the left.

[eshfemme]

10. Whoa, first the McCain adultery bit and now this.

He seriously seems to have started waking up to how fucking stupid being the only milquetoast liberal on Fox is.

[Fluffdaddy]

12. Lets not let our general dislike for him fuck us in the long run

[valerief]

13. Er, nope.

[Disturbed]

15. Shouldn't Liberals support him even though he is on Fixed News?

He might be mild on TV but look what he is up against.

[Fluffdaddy]

19. Support you political friends. Even if they are on the weak side

[Zhade]

29. Alan Colmes is no more our political friend than the enabling conservatives at the DLC are.

NT!

[Fluffdaddy]

37. Ouch

:cry:

[Lisa0825]

40. Bingo!

:thumbsup:

[AlCzervik]

16. Alan Colmes really doesn't make much a show of supporting Liberals on that sham of

a show on Faux. This is about the first time he's getting some major shit from the wing nuts, maybe it'll recalibrate him a little.

[Sheets of Easter]

18. F Alan Colmes.

[Fluffdaddy]

20. How does your face look with out its nose?

[mitchum]

21. It still looks better than Alan Colmes does without his spine

[Sheets of Easter]

23. Snap!

And thank you. You put it more eloquently than I ever could.

[asthmaticeog]

38. Noses serve a useful purpose. Colmes, not so much. nt

[Sheets of Easter]

42. And how does Colmes' head look without Hannity's ass?

Colmes is a stooge, and not a very good one at that.

[Sebastian Doyle]

22. Colmes is arguably more vulnerable to right wing attacks because he works for FAUX

I've heard his radio show a couple times, and he actually shows more spine on the radio than he usually does on TV, but he's still too milquetoast for my tastes.

Still, if he's finally standing up to blowhard Hannity and the rest of his colleagues at Murdoch Inc, more power to him.

[Lisa0825]

43. He's gotta do more than that to earn my support.

I'd gladly stand up for him if he ever put up more than a mediocre liberal stand on H&C. But he really just gives them a chance to SAY they are "fair and balanced" for having a token liberal on the show.... even if that liberal is a wuss.

Once he proves me wrong on that and starts acting like he's grown a spine, I'll speak out for him.

BTW, welcome to DU! :hi:

[Zhade]

25. Fuck that weak-kneed quisling.

Should have tried standing up against Hannity's lies instead of being his whipping-boy.

[lpbk2713]

27. Who the hell among us made him take that job?

I'm sure he gets a good paycheck for being Hannity's stooge. He's doing exactly what he gets paid for.

Piss on him.

[dysfunctional press]

28. who is alan colmes anyway?

i've heard the name, but i don't watch the faux news channel...:shrug:

[Fluffdaddy]

32. He has a radio show also

[DutchLiberal]

30. Funny, I have seen him 'growing a pair' lately...

He also attacked Hannity on hammering about Edwards' affair, after which he pointed out McCain left his first wife and *he* IS running.

[ourbluenation]

34. Alan will be fine, especially after Obama is President. n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

39. Doesn't Alan know she was never really pregnant?

???

[janx]

44. Fluffdaddy, Alan Colmes does not need our support.

He works for Fox News for a reason.

[Canuckistanian]

49. Gambling debts? Loansharks?

Three secret ex-wives?

Why else would he scrape and kowtow to nutcases like Hannity if he were an actual, progressive liberal??

[boomerbust]

45. Lindsey Graham

Was just on Hannity and Colmes. Graham quote. " As far as experiece is concerned, Sarah Palin is a political giant compared to Barack Obama". I hate to say it but I'm not all that proud of my country right now.

[Fluffdaddy]

46. You don’t lie about me, and I won’t tell the truth about you

What I Said And What I Did Not Say
September 1st, 2008, 2:31 PM EDT
First, what I did not say. I did not say that Sarah Palin caused her child to have Down Syndrome because of her choices. I have received comment after comment and received thousands of emails about this because of right-wing sites who have lied about my initial post, a screen grab of which is here. It may be convenient for those with their own agendas, or those who just hate liberals to make the case that I said something horrible about Sarah Palin, to feed the narrative that the evil, horrible left wing is attacking a conservative woman. I don’t do ad hominem attacks. It’s not my style. And I usually let my work speak for itself.

What I did say was that it’s fair to question a person’s judgment if that person is seeking to be Vice President of the United States, just as the judgment of the Obama/Biden ticket has been heavily questioned. And part of that question of judgment has to do with life decisions that candidates make. In the case of Sarah Palin, it had to do with a choice to give a speech and then board a flight after contractions began and water began to break in the last month of pregnancy with her fifth child.

Those who claim that I drew a parallel between those decisions and her child being born with Down Syndrome either didn’t read what I wrote or purposely lied about it to satisfy their own agendas. Even after I posted a clarification and took responsibiliy for possibly not being clear enough in my original post I am still getting vicious comments and hate mail from those who believe I should be silenced, fired and even shot.

To those who are purposely maligning me for whatever reason, let’s make a deal: You don’t lie about me, and I won’t tell the truth about you

[BlooInBloo]

48. Nice!
