"Useful idiots" is the phrase Karl Marx used to refer to those who supported his socialistic ideas which, like a dictatorship, were what he considered to be the necessary steps to reach the ultimate goal; Communism.
Colmes is a proud member of the Marxist DemocRAT party. Therefore, Karl would easily recognize him as one of the ones he referred to as clueless "useful idiots".
