Will the program now be called Hannity Without Colmes? Or Hannity Sans Colmes.
I heard Sean talking about Colmes leaving the other day. Even though I found him infuriatingly frequent in spinning issues into typical nonsensical areas of distraction, at least he was professional and friendly in his approach. I was concerned they might replace him with someone even more “repulsively leftist”. I’m sure Fox considered Colmes to be in keeping true to their fair and balanced reporting, but as far left as the rest of the television media is, it was hardly necessary.

Colmes is so bad on his radio show that i willingly listen to Coast to Coast AM instead…
yes, i would rather listen to insane UFO stories than Alan Colmes…
Do they know who is responsible Craig? Is this the first test of Obama?

I, like many, do not watch the MSM anymore. I wish Mr. Colmes much success wherever he goes, but I doubt it.
On the Obama faux candidacy:
“Second, if Obama dares to take the Presidential “Oath or Affirmation” of office, knowing that he is not “a natural born Citizen,” he will commit the crime of perjury or false swearing (see Article II, Section 1, Clause 7). For, being ineligible for “the Office of President, he cannot “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States,” or even execute it at all, to any degree. Thus, his very act of taking the “Oath or Affirmation” will be a violation thereof! So, even if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court himself looks the other way and administers the “Oath or Affirmation,” Obama will derive no authority whatsoever from it.”

Alan Colmes drove me nuts when he spoke over people he didn’t want to hear, who were making an excellent point on the given topic. When it had to do with national security things, he seemed to be more rational, but mostly he just towed the liberal line.
Craig, on Hugh Hewitt today, he played a CNN reporter (female) blaming the U.S. for this incident!! Oh brother!!

I don’t know. I sort of think this will just lead to way more bias charges against fox, which will end up being not good. I wish they would just choose another Liberal. One Hannity could dominate. Say, Hannity and Gore. 😀

SoCal Chris,
I could never stand Alan Colmes. I hated everything about this guy… lol
Mike,
I have answered you, but my comment is stuck in moderation since about 2 hours. Fox News seems to think they are Muslim terrorists.
Come on, you won’t his liberal illuminati rants just a little bit? I understand that most of us didn’t hardly ever agree with him but i thought i was great having a show where both sides were presenting and doing so fully and fairly. I liked it, i will actually miss colmes.

I cannot bear to see or hear Alan Colmes. I might even start watching Fox again.

Don’t let the door hit you in the arse on the way out. . . .
Colmes posted the rumor on his blog that baby Trig’s Down Syndrome could be the result of Sarah Palin’s carelessness because she flew home to Alaska to have him. He took it down without comment or apology, but lots of bloggers saved the original post. Outraged people called and wrote to FOX demanding that they fire Colmes. Wonder if that had anything to do with his ‘ahem’ decision to leave.
After removing E.D. Hill from her program for commenting on the Obama’s fist bump, they did not renew her contract, she’s gone. Colmes could be another bit of “fair and balanced” clean up.

I think Missy makes an excellent point.
Colmes has been tolerable all these years as a sparring partner for Hannity and I think has made the show more interesting.
However, once Colmes started stoking the Palin rumors and posting on his blog about it, that’s when I lost all interest in him as a valid voice and just another of the left wing media nuts out there.
I’m glad to see him go at this point.

Hannity by himself will be boring.. I wonder if Fox Noise would even dare but a stronger Progressive in there to debate him. Colmes was just part of Fox Noise trying to show they are balanced. They never will be fair nor balanced.
Well RAP, your remote has buttons on it to take the channel up or down. Feel free to tune to one of the numerous other news networks that report things only with the Dem spins as they want to hear. Free speech includes even conservatives having the right to choose what voices they wish to hear from and not just endless liberal/socialist bias. Your recommendations on this matter have as much bearing as your recommendations on how to overhaul the Republican party. You don’t have dogs in those races, so explain to us why conservatives and indies should take your opinion seriously. Fox is certainly more fair than Couric, Gibson, Matthews, the View and the hosts of other pundits & commentators from the left. And of course, you also have your slew of celebrities who are nothing more than a cross-section of self-absorbed folks who lucked into their big breaks. Most whom are as intelligent and informed as those idiots Leno features from the streets of California.
I agree with SoCal Chris, in being turned off by the typical rudeness of talking over people the station had invited to be interviewed, was indeed one of the most annoying factors with Colmes. Why bother interviewing someone when the commentator will not allow the public to hear their expert opinion on the topic.
I too often listen to Coast-to-Coast in the wee hours of the morn for a bit of a break, mainly during periodic cross-country drives. Of course, like most shows, I take a lot of it with a grain of salt. Still they do get some good solid hits. I recall shows in the late 80’s where they spoke of impeding failures in the housing & stock markets due to the CRA, other legislation, and as a correction of long-term overvaluation of stocks by speculation. It’s not just Atlantis, Bigfoot, ghost, UFO, and various New Age reports there.
I suppose C.R.A.P. thinks PBS is “fair and balanced” and they are doing it with taxpayer money.
George McGovern could take over as Hannity’s co host and CRAP would still think Fox is biased.

I most of you don’t like the illuminati that Colmes is but isn’t the balance appreciated? I don’t really like him i just like the idea of him. Someone how brings the other perspective. Even if 99% it just shows me how stupid they really are!
RW: There is plenty of balance with the other guests. It’s not like Colmes is the only liberal that gets on the show.

Just want to say that Alan Colmes was demonstrating basic ignorance of the most elementary facts regarding conception, gestation and birth if he blogged to say that he likely concluded that Trig was born with Down’s Syndrome because Sarah Palin flew home in labor.
Down’s Syndrome is also and more accurately named Trisomy 21. It is a condition whereby the paired chromosomes of the father and the paired chromosomes of the father are to split. The two and the two splitting and leaving two, but in the case of a trisomy one pair splits and the other does not, so making 2+1 or a TRIsomy…
No amount of prenatal care or lack thereof affects the splitting of the chromosomes that occurs at the onset of life.
How arrogant and how ignorant Mr. Colmes evidently showed himself to be by musing over Mrs. Palin’s regard for her baby when she flew home to give birth to him there!!! Perhaps he took his blog down hopeful that many did not see it and realized his stupidity regarding such elementary biology.

I don’t really know Mike. Fox seems to think they are Muslims terrorists. Here is what they posted on their front age:
Night Of Terror
URGENT: Indian troops, Mumbai police battle Muslim terrorists holding Westernerd hostage in hotels following wave of attacks:
– America and British tourists believed to be target of attacks
– More than a dozen hostages rescued from one hotel
