I was listening to some of the Alan Colmes radio show tonight. Almost all the calls were about John Kerry. Alan was trying hard as can be sticking up for John. He said innumerous times that Kerry has already satisfactory answered the critics and that it was a non issue but the calls were still coming in about Kerry. Alan seemed flummoxed about it all. I am a bit disappointed that more eloquent people don't call in.

I feel for Alan. He's actually an honest democrat, but hes not getting much help from his party this year. The Democrats in their quest to rid the country of Bush haven't given people like Alan much to be proud of.

You are right. Alan is good at what he does even though i don't agree with him most of the time. I do at times though. I had never heard him be so rattled before though. Surprised me.

I feel for the guy. He tries to put up a fight, but how can you when the truth is not on your side. I am sure hes going to be happy when Kerry is out of the picture.

Alan Colmes is smart and researches the issues. However, in my opinion, Mr. Colmes can spin things better than the best of the liberal spinners who take on Bill O'Reilly in O'Reilly's no spin zone. I better stop now.

He puts out the spin, but you know he doesn't believe it. He still does it. Nuff said.

Mr. Colmes is not a good democrat ...
Anyone that smart in a position of power has a responsibility to deal in facts. Mr. Colmes ignores facts that conflict with the message he is trying to spin ... and that is just plain dishonest ... instead of seeking the truth he seeks to spin ... in his mind the ends (protecting Kerry) justifies the means ...

Alan Colmes has continued to repeat on different nights with different guests that Kerry was only speaking in the 3rd person regarding atrocities and never said that he was personally involved.

While he could have conceivably been misinformed originally, Sean and others have provided the relevant quote. Coombs has continued on as if that part of the record does not exist.

Hard to call that honest.

To paraphrase someone we all know....

to Mr. Colmes:

"How do you ask a Man to be the Last Man to Lie about Vietnam, and how do you ask him to Lie for a Liar?"

I believe that Colmes is in this for the money. He is to smart not to realize the truth. He gets paid to defend the lib side of things. He does a good job defending a lie. But I don't respect him.

Well I will say A thing about the man. He had always been in the past a very well spoken and it seemed a sober thinking Liberal. It was a pathetic performance to say the least. As someone said before, it is hard ton spin something when we have the truth on our side. Amen. Also i liked and agree when someone said about how it is a shame when what you have to work with is Kerry.
