Hannity and Colmes: New 'Kings' of Cable

[The Mayor]

He reminds me of a child who insists that mom listen to him and then trots away after he's spewed his point

Aren't all liberals like that.

They, after all were the spoiled brats that protested during the 60's and 70's.
I have said for years that they are the spoiled rotten kids from years past, and now they run the country.

You're right, there is much work to do. You're point concerning the middle of the roaders is dead on. That's where the ideological battle will be won. The socialist demonrats must be shown for the frauds they are.

I like Colmes being there for the same reason I like FR when a sincere lib shows up and the same reason I got hooked on Rush. When two or more opposing viewpoints are expressed is when our side educates the most clearly, when the Left is most exposed as bankrupt of workable ideas, and when our colorful personalities have the most freedom to have some fun.

Slam-dunking a flabbergasted and factually empty lib is a great hobby! ;^)

[Alberta's Child]

Good point.

I've met Hannity in person, and I must say that he is one of the least impressive people I've ever conversed with. Nice guy, but you get the impression that he couldn't argue his way out of a paper bag if he didn't have a script in front of him.

IT'S 7 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION.

WILL IT STILL BE HER SENATE?

GOOD INTENTIONS DON'T WIN ELECTIONS.
ACTION DOES. ACT TODAY.

Nah, that would look like CNN's "Capital Gang." On that show the liberals always outnumber the conservatives. It makes the liberals look like bullies. Why would we want to look like liberal thugs? The unfairness of the lilberal media helps us recruit converts.

I think the most popular format of all time would be nine Republicans beating up on one democrat.

[Neets]

I have listened to his radio show in the afternoon, then the TV Show at night, and it's usually the same topic/subject/guests...and he does the same stuttering and stammering and uhh uhh uhhhs...until it comes to his sefl-agrandization....Can't tolerate much more.

[Alberta's Child]

There was a radio talk show host here in the New York area named Jay Diamond who bounced from one station to another. He didn't generate great ratings and jumped from one end of the political spectrum to the other (depending on where he was working), but I always thought he was the most intelligent, entertaining host I've ever heard.

One of the things that always p!ssed him off was that the talk radio industry was dominated by these people of marginal intelligence who generated great ratings because they presented scripted points on the air that were based on nothing more than a third-grade assessment of the day's events. Diamond used to do these on-air imitations of Hannity, in which he would say something for ten seconds, then launch into thirty seconds of "Uh, uh, . . . I dunno . . . Gotta take a break . . . uh, uh . . . Straight ahead, folks . . . uh, uh . . ."

The unfairness of the lilberal media helps us recruit converts.

Another way to look at it is to say that it's nearly turned this country into a socialist state.

I actually think having Colmes on there is a good thing. In a one-on-one debate between a liberal and a fearless conservative with convictions, the stupidity of the liberal position gets exposed just about every single time, which is to our benefit.

[GOPJ]

People know fair when they see it, and they can spot a bully. These two things work in our favor. Trust me, the liberals "too cute by half" routines are not working as well as they think. My liberal friends are stating to turn off to them. (I have an advantage being a former democrat in that everyone I know is a liberal.)

[Republic]

No Way---Alan provides balance and is a pretty neat guy, all and all. He is a part of a team, each representing differing sides-that is what makes it interesting and invigorating. Besides, my daughter thinks Alan is cute. hehe.

[Sloth]

[LibWhacker]

What?! Have you had your daughter's eyes checked lately? :-)

Colmes looks like he just walked off the set of Night of the Living Dead to me! Maybe if Sean yanked that ridiculous wig off Colmes' head . . .

[ctnoell]

The fact that Fox News continues to kick CNN's a** in the ratings is further proof that American television viewers are sick and tired of the liberal bias displayed by CNN and the three major networks. The silent majority has spoken!

[Tumbleweed_Connection]

How long have there been liberal arts people supporting the cause, especially musicians?

[conservativemusician]

Unfortunately, there are damn few of us. Oh, I first voted in 1980 for Ronald Reagan.

[Republic]

LOL-I know-but there is just something about Alan that makes ya smile. I understand her feelings. Besides-it takes a certain amount of moxy, raw courage I would say, to sit there night after night and defend the indefensible. :^)

[gcruse]

 Does anyone else sense the conservative
resurgence (revolution) in this great country?

I felt it when the House went Republican
under Newt Gingrich.  Then the press
trashed Newt, conservatives dumped him,
the democrats painted republicans as
being mean for 'cuts' in social spending
that weren't, the republicans ran back
into the hills and haven't been seen since.
Wake me when Newt's back, will ya?
