Beams to the family. Never agreed with him but he seemed like a decent guy.

Sean Hannity shares the news on Thursday, calling Colmes 'one of the nicest, kindest, and most generous people'...

But stubborn as a mule with respect to liberal politics. RIP Alan Colmes.

I didn’t particularly like him, but admired his willingness to go into what for him was the lion’s den and defend his views.

If there is an afterlife, I hope his is pleasant.

He always seemed a bit sickly and not in the best of health.

I remember him as someone who lied his butt off, but could seem congenial.

Wiki: Colmes began his career in stand-up comedy. He developed his radio career in the Northeast, eventually working at stations such as WABC, WNBC, WHN, WMCA and WEVD in New York, WNHC in New Haven, and WEZE and WZLX in Boston.

His radio career took off when WABC hired him for the morning drive time slot. He was billed as “W. Alan B. Colmes,” as in the station’s call sign. He moved to WNBC in 1987, but his tenure there would be short when NBC announced in 1988 it would close its radio division. When WNBC went off the air for the last time on October 7, 1988, Colmes’ was the last voice heard.


Forget exactly when Hannity went solo on TV.

Colmes always came across as a really nice guy who believed in his own liberalism beyond the talking points. I always enjoyed their show when he was teamed with Hannity on radio and later on TV. RIP.

His former Fox News co-host Sean Hannity shares the news on Thursday, calling Colmes 'one of the nicest, kindest, and most generous people'

Of course I didn't know him personally but he was always predictable and one sided.

Hannity's words sounded like a line from the Manchurian Candidate.

My mother told me, "If you can't say something nice about a person, say nothing at all".

OK, Mom.

YUUUGE difference between all of us on FR vs the disgusting lefties.

WE always find the good in these people. We never wish ill on anyone. Left is vulgur. We are not.

RIP Alan Colmes.

Really sorry to hear this. Regardless of his politics, he was liked and respected by the right.

Prayers for his family.

If I recall correctly, he was Monica Crowley’s brother-in-law.
