Colmes
I keep trying to listen with an open mind, but I just can't stand this guy. He's on both XM and Sirius liberal stations. I just don't think he belongs there. Anyone agree?

Tell me if I'm missing something.

1. No, you're not missing anything.


He is a joke. He is a strawman for Hannity to kick around. He is not on our side in any way. Ignore him.

2. I emailed XM last week
to request that Colmes be taken off the "left" talk radio channel. Email your objection to XM or Sirius.

3. yeah
yeah, i dont think he should be on the network.
especially since he openly puts them down on the air...
i dont particularly think people want someone with a middle of the road view on the network. atleast the listeners dont.

I say, out with Alan and in with MIKE!

MIKE MALLOY should be on the network!

people should really make that happen !

Personally, i find the network a bit dull so far!

5. Did anyone see the Daily Show last night?
They had a segment that totally shows how useless Mr. Colmes really is.

The segment was called "Great Moments in Punditry" and it featured a transcript from Hannity & Colmes, read by children. There were three kids: one reading Hannity, one reading the "liberal" guest, and one reading Colmes.

The only line for the Colmes part? It came at the very end:
"Thanks for being on the show."

Hilarious.

6. Please email XM about it.
Check out my thread (immeadiately above this one, at the moment) for the URL. He's gotta go - it's an abomination.

7. Colmes is pre-empting Jeanine's show, right?
Jeanine is the one who bashes the "coroporate media". And right she is.

9. Fighting the right wing without Alan Colmes...
...is like going deer hunting without an accordion. He's freaking useless.

11. Colmes is the equivalent
of a tomato can that inferior boxers use to fatten up their records. Hannity couldn't win a debate with a parrot.

If you can stomach The King of the Douchebags and Colmes, (I am consumed with the urge to wring insanity's neck after about 15 min,) notice how Colmes will break up fights The Napoleon Complex is losing.
