Alan Colmes threw all the conservatives off their game by pointing out the similarities between John Edwards' infidelity and John McCain's. After denouncing John Edwards as unworthy of public office for having cheated on his ill wife, none of the three conservatives could come up with a decent explanation of why McCain's similar behavior was any less despicable. From the 8/12/08 Hannity & Colmes.
Hatemongering Bill Cunningham got two segments on Hannity & Colmes to smear Barack Obama via his middle name while pretending to use it as a gesture of respect. Unrepentant bigot Sean Hannity avoided involving himself in the Muslim smear but approvingly labeled Cunningham a Great American. From the 12/19/08 Hannity & Colmes. Pt 2 of 2.
In another night of attacking Barack Obama over his associations, Sean Hannity was confronted about his past relationship with white supremacist Hal Turner. First Hannity denied knowing Turner, then he said he had long ago banned Turner from his show. Then, in a tacit admission, Hannity said "I'm not running for president."
Governor Palin returned to Alaska today and it seems that the powers that be want her to sty there. Campaign Carl Cameron reveals the ugly backstory. More and comments at www.newshounds.us
Republican Governor Mark Sanford cracked up when Alan Colmes asked if Sarah Palin might be one of the future stars of her party. He quickly recovered by offering faint praise that she'd be "among the mix" but then moved on to other names that did not include hers.
During yet another Hannity & Colmes discussion about Barack Obama's hyped up connection to William Ayers, Alan Colmes asked the unbalanced panel to name a single radical idea Obama shares with Ayers. They couldn't and their pathetic attempts to cover up that inability were laughable. From the 10/6/08 Hannity & Colmes.
In this compilation of moments from Hannity & Colmes and On The Record, one guest after another implied or insinuated or suggested without any real evidence that somehow Barack Obama is guilty of something with regard to Rod Blagojevich. Hannity was chief smear-monger and "liberal" Van Susteren was first mate to her smearing guest. 12/11/08
Clinton confidante and Colonel go after it, first about characterization of Clinton statement, then about tactics and manners.

After another round of Obama-bashing by association, Alan Colmes asked Republican spokesman Michael Steele about Sarah Palin's radical association with the Alaskan secessionist party. Steele could not defend it, of course, so he dismissed it as "irrelevant." From the 10/21/08 Hannity & Colmes.
Republican Andrea Tantaros made herself look ridiculous by trying to defend Sarah Palin's erroneous explanation of the role of the Vice President. While Tantaros spewed obnoxious invective, she was unable to accomplish her primary goal: proving that Palin knew what the job she's running for entails. From the 10/23/08 Hannity & Colmes.
Even though Smith received a fraction of the time Republicans got on the 7/23/08 Hannity & Colmes, he and Alan Colmes tag-teamed to provide more than double the punch. Smith did a great job of standing up to bullyboy Sean Hannity, too.
For at least the third time, vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wrongly stated the role of the job she's campaigning for. FOX News' Greta Van Susteren neither corrected Palin nor noted the mistake later in the program. From the 10/31/08 On The Record.
Any doubts that Sean Hannity has a bigoted double standard would have to disappear after watching this Hannity & Colmes segment where Hannity repeatedly accuses Barack Obama of playing the race card yet does not mind when his guest says that most blacks in Tennessee are racists living in the 50's and 60's. From the 8/6/08 Hannity & Colmes.
During a lapdog interview with Greta Van Susteren, Sarah Palin bragged about her ability to work bipartisanly with people with whom she disagrees. But moments later, she claimed an Obama/Democratic presidency would erode the work ethic and the entrepreneurial spirit in the US. From the 10/31/08 On The Record.
