Colmes aspires to being the guy on the bottom.

It's one thing to disparage fellow Americans with a vulgar sexual reference, but it's really disgraceful to further insult them when they call you out for your deplorable behavior.
Such is what happened to Sean Hannity's former partner Alan Colmes this weekend when he published two articles at his blog with the word "teabagger" in the title:
•Teabagger Co-sponsor Warns Of Pitchforks, Guns, Civil War And Revolution
•The GOP Corporate Push Behind The 9/12 Teabaggers
As a result, he received numerous responses from readers via his Twitter account leaving Colmes to further ridicule such folks rather than apologizing:
I have often posted my hate mail, but this has been a weekend full of hate Tweets. There were objections to my use of the term “teabaggers” to describe Saturday’s protesters. There is no awareness, it seems, of how they may have brought this upon themselves, choosing a symbol that could easily be conflated with a distasteful sexual term. It also doesn’t seem to occur to them that there are such things as synonyms. Some words have more than one meaning, totally separate and apart from each other. They infer what I don’t imply. Most amusing is the name-calling from those who accuse me of name-calling. And then there are the conservatives for whom I used to be their favorite pet liberal until this one egregious offense, after which I am now pond scum; to which I say your love for me couldn’t have been to solid to begin with.
Here's my favorite Tweet:
therightscoop@alancolmes you must know alot about teabagging to throw it around like you do. Just when I try and respect you, YOU BLOW IT.
Now THAT'S entertainment.
For the record, Colmes was born in 1950, and will be 59 years old in a few weeks.
Doesn't age come with maturity? Shouldn't someone that's almost 60 years old know that using a sexual reference to demean those you don't agree with is astoundingly childish?
Shame on you, Alan
he’s lucky it’s only hate tweets
Alan Colmes looks like ny left tea bag after surfing
The poor wretch is probably just tired of being called Strawman von Skeletor.

I am sure glad that old snake face is gone from the Hannity show.
Pretty stunning from an Obama ASS LICKER like Colmes.
Alan, read this, carefully, slowly:

Hmmm. This week, Chris Dodd’s Campaign Manager, Jay Howser, also called Dodd’s constituents who attended the Tea Party’s teabaggers.
Must be this is the buzz word for this week.
LMAO - thanks for the laugh.
That is a bald-faced lie, Alan, and you know it, and so does everyone else.
Ever since you got your butt kicked off of Hannity's show, you've been trying to get attention again. Your whole life is nothing but the grotesque embarrassment of an adult foul-mouthed brat.
LOL! My wife and I always referred to him as the Crypt Keeper.
Only extreme racists would react like that anyway.
LEAVE ALAN ALONE! /s
I always assumed Colmes was a teabagger

Alan has finally "outed" himself.
Personally, I didn’t know “tea-bagger” was a naughty term. Not everyone is up on the latest vulgarity/made-up terminology.
So it was those who took part in the Boston Tea Party who are really responsible for Colmes calling these patriots “teabaggers?” Now THERE is the reasoning of the left on FULL DISPLAY!! How dare those dummies do something like that 2 centuries ago. They should have thrown bran muffins into the harbor, not tea.
