IN MY SHOES: What It’s Like To Be Alan Colmes

 

Columnist and radio talk show host (KTLK AM 1150) Steve Young profiles Alan Colmes, “the liberal at Fox” – or to his Lefty detractors, “the liberal ersonName>Stepin FetchitersonName> for Fox.” Here’s what Colmes has to say about being thought of as a LINO (Liberal In Name Only):  

 

"Issue by issue, if I were a Congressman, I would receive the highest rating from liberal think-tank Americans For Democratic Action." …


For the most part, his critics ridicule Colmes because they feel that he's a weak counter-balance to Hannity.  … they say Colmes is too soft; takes too many prisoners. I mean, really, how can he be a real liberal when
Bernie Goldberg didn't even make him one of the 100 people who are ruining America. …


You just know people want him to Hannity the guest. They'd like him to be more demonstrative. Ask more loaded questions. Corner his prey. Pounce on him. Cut the lying liar into tiny little pieces leaving him to rot in the sun while the vultures pick at what's left (or right) of his vapid argument. …


"
Sean and I have different styles," said Colmes. "I believe it's better to put out fires with water, not with more fire." …


"Some liberals have a problem with me simply because I work at Fox and nothing I do short of storming off the set in a rage will get them to respect that I work there. I feel quite lucky to have the platforms I have on both television and radio. Even if everything its detractors say about Fox were true, you would think the most liberal of liberal attitudes (on Fox) would gets credit for being in the lion's den. After all I do have the biggest audience of all the liberals." …

 

"I'm not an angry person" says Colmes. "I get my point out, I'm true to what I believe and I sleep well at night."
