Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Alan Colmes

Your last statement makes my point...

Allan Colmes may be a democrat.. but the point is, he is not one of those that think he is some sort of Elitist!

and that is very rare on the liberal left and even rare on the radical right...

Alan Colmes

The problem with Colmes last night was he was saying the Tea Party protestors were spewing racial epitaphs and spitting on the black congressional caucus. He was also saying resistance to the health care bill is racial. Neither is proven and certainly the latter is not true. That may be what the intelligent lefties (oxymoron) are up to since they don't have much else.

He looks like the cryptkeeper to me.

Well Rick,

I pointed out I don't have to agree with what Allan Colmes states.. but when he does so, he doesn't do it with the condescending attitude most other leftists do..

are we going to wall ourselves in and not allow those with opinions different from our own voice them? that is the M.O. of the liberal left. we on the right don't need to be copying it..

we on the conservative right need to honor the 1st Amendment, instead of Abusing it, like the liberal left does...

I will give you that much, and Hannity hardly ever let him get a word in edgewise but the [bleep] that comes out of Colmes mouth sometimes is almost unbearable. He can spew out all the garbage he wants too but when he's calling those on the right racist well, nobody is going to take that lying down.

Sorry guys, doesn't matter how he looks to you or me.

Some of our conservative heroes on the right are no Hollywood Movie Stars when it comes to looks either.

but since when does looks add or negates the message a person desires to get across..

Colmes puts a lot more restraint and is not personally condemning the intelligence of those that don't agree with him.. and we need more of both on the both sides of the political spectrum.

He may be a liberal, but at least he is gentleman. and we are sorely lacking in that dept in the news media anymore.

Walter Cronkite was a flaming liberal also.. but he was a gentleman, and the country believed in him.. to the tune that many on the Republican side asked him to run for President right around the time of Nixon.. Nixon even asked him to be a VP Candidate with him..

I've never listened to him utter a word and can only go on what he looks like. I base all my political and personall beliefs on what I've experienced in life, not what some talking head on TV on either side has said.

If he wants to get up on TV and talk about whatever be my guest.

I'll also add just because you are a gentlemen doesn't fly. I've met a lot of people who had manners that would rob you blind while saying "Yes sir", many of whom were politicians.

I'm a puppet for Beck,Rush,Hannity...they form all of my opinions in life.

nathan,
In your last sentence you make a very viable point which I totally agree with..but in my many years of listening to Allan Colmes, I find he is the exception to the rule.

He has not run for political office..

He isn't a hero of mine, but he has qualities that I wish a lot of other of the talking heads on the Media would have.

and yeah, using life experiences is the best thing to rely upon.. however, we all can't have the same life experiences.. so for myself at least, I open my mind to what others may have to say...

once in a blue moon, those on the "other side" actually make sense.. I don't advocate following any talking head or politicians strictly based on ideology..

I supported GW Bush, but he sure did a lot of things that I wasn't too pleased about. But he didn't spend his time telling bold face lies, like the ones that come out of the current administration.

Now Beck is another guy I currently like quite a bit.

You got that right! I also feel bad for Crowley for having such a stupid sister too. Plus once when I heard Crowley talk about her sis and mum, Monica also said her mum is a libb! Twas me, I would NOT be close to "mummie" nor sis and Colmes would NOT be welcome in my home (like NEVER step foot in it).

Yepper indeed! Hannity (like O'Reilly) is another of those news [bleep] who "think" the world begins and ends in NYC! {And sadly FNC is about the "best" in the American media available right now).

Also don't know much about Rupert Murdoch, except that he owns FNC and must be a somewhat (more than "somewhat?") good-businessman.

Heck, look at all the cute AND SMART blondes he's hired! I think we're very lucky in this country that Murdoch espouses and "directs" that Fox be 'fair and balanced' unlike CNN and the other cable networks. )

LevrLuver, if you're a "racist," then you're certainly within your rights to be! Mind if I stand with ya'?

I really doubt we'd be the only two fellas there. Methinks there'd be lots and lots of company!

I don't get Juan Williams either. Sometimes he occassionally says something that sounds "intelligent," but must be an ideolouge (sp) most of the time. There are also those times when Mary Katherine seems to really bite her toungue too, when she has to appear with Williams. Williams ALWAYS gets his speaking time and a lot of hers! Except she often gets her views across in fewer words, when Williams can't!

LOL why do you think he's on Hannity he would make dog carp look good. But then most liberals would.

anytime, stubbleduck, anytime. I know I haven't been here but a year or so, but I'm happy as hell to be here with a bunch of folks that more or less see things the way I do.

Mary Katherine Hamm is one of my faves!

All of my opinions are formed by the FOX News girls. Gawd they sure do put Rachel Madow ( MSNBC) to shame.

Love your avatar

I like Hannitty when he interviews important people, candidates and such, otherwise he is about as interesting as the Fat Lady in New York.

Colmes was the tame liberal, straw man to make Hannitty look intelligent...he couldn't pull it off. I doubt anyone could.

Juan had an oped piece in the WSJ throwing the bullshit flag on the racism charges agaist the tea partiers last week. He's still a leftie, and bound by the racial solidarity thing to support Obama, but he's not nearly as far gone as Colmes and the koolaid drinkers over at MSNBC.
