Alan Colmes passed away this morning after a brief illness. He was 66-years-old. He leaves his adoring and devoted wife, Jocelyn Elise Crowley. He was a great guy, brilliant, hysterical, and moral.

Bill Hemmer announced the sad news this morning on ”America’s Newsroom,” which then aired a tribute package from Fox News Channel host Sean Hannity, his former co-host on ”Hannity & Colmes.” …

Rest in Peace.

He was a foil to conservatives on Fox News for years and seemed like an old school, relatively decent liberal. I don't ever remember agreeing with him politically, or even philosophically, but I respected him entering the fray and representing his values and philosophy as best he could.

How far the left has come (gone) since his days.

Was doing radio with appearing on TV rarely.
Suspected he was ill some time ago. Yet release said recent illness. Maybe he had had cancer and it returned

“We must hate. Hatred is the basis of communism. Children must be taught to hate their parents if they are not communists.”

— Lenin
The hate of today’s leftists come from yesterday’s leftists. The late Mr. Colmes was probably more Fabian than Marxist.

You have no idea if he did or didn’t. Please be respectful and don’t say stupid things.

...

I agree. While such statements may scare a few people into religion, it repels many more.

Sorry that a SJW attacked you for your Christian perspective . . . but sadly, that is the direction it’s going lately.

Hannity’s punching bag. Very sad. He was a very nice guy.

I remember him back to the early Hannity & Colmes days.

He never did reach the status of Hannity but at least married right.

The Hannity Show started out as Hannity and Colmes.

The show was sort of a Point, Counterpoint format, so Alan was often the target of Sean's biting wit. But the two were close friends nonetheless.

Ah, that’s a pity - 66 is far too young for anyone to pass. RIP.

“I would rather he lived and come to Jesus.”

Amen! Let’s hope and pray that that happened at the end.

He was among the dumbest liberals ever. I once saw him with Ann Coulter discussing her recently released book. After repetedly spewing the liberal talking points regarding her book, Coulter asked him several times, “Have you read it, Alan?” His response: “Have you?!!” There is no way I can muster any respect for ignorance that colossal.

Bob Beckell or Jerry Rivers. Cocaine will be their undoing.
