If you've ever tried to discuss politics with a Republican, only to realize they have no idea what they're talking about

I love the way people try to make it sound like Obama's birth certificate doesn't exist. It does exist, and it is very public. That is not a very big issue. Why do conservatives have to peck at the little stuff? Simply because they do not know anything about the big stuff.

Alan and I rarely agree. If you seek, only what you know, you find only what you already had. Keep up the good work Alan. Sean should have you on more.

Alan Colmes is one of the true intellects of our country. I enjoyed his show with his sidekick Sean Hannity...and I believe he really gave the only reasoned arguments worth listening to. I read your Liberaland regularly.

Barack Obama went from a black liberation theologist to a Communist to a Marxist to a Muslim sympathizer to a Muslim himself in two years. Amazing what the right will say.

It is funny how teaparty people don't realize who they are being manipulated by corporate lobbyists...especially those lobbying for the very things the tea people think they are against.

God loves the Muslim, Christian, Catholic, as well as atheist, all more than the angels. Since most of the rhetoric against this building is coming from people claiming to be Christians, I personally would like to see them start acting more like a christian.

The mainstream media is in a can't win situation, damned if they do, damned if they don't say anything constructive about the President? Things are not that great, but it's not the doom & gloom predicted by the hypocrite pretend plastic patriots. I have to admit, I called GM, Government Motors last year, I was wrong & I'm glad I was wrong. The banks on Wall Street are paying back their loans, the taxpayer with a profit thanks to Bush/Obama, the noise machine is quick to speak, slow to listen & rational thoughts are absent from any dialogue. God Bless America!

I don?t think Obama is a Muslim. However, if he was, so what? As far as I know there is no rule that bars someone from becoming president because of their faith.

The only reason I listen to Alan Colmes' radio show is because of the crazy callers and (sometimes) crazy guests. Very entertaining.

Alan! I am a democrat/progressive and I get irritated by the show when I hear the conservatives. BUT! I want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU for saying Jesus was a Jew. HE WAS! I am a son of an archaeologist and a historian in all but degree (I suck at public speaking and can't get a degree without a speech class), and it drives me nuts that people call him a Christian.

I applaud you for your patience Alan. If I were a radio host, I'd be Mike Malloy and not take republican callers. It's exhausting to try to educate them with facts and frustrating to see the facts not phase them. You seem to have some hope that you can reason with those people if you arm them with the truth.

Painting the Gitmo Detainee, Omar Ahmed Khadr as a victim is beneath contempt. He was old enough to pull a pin on a grenade, old enough to have a firefight with the US military and he?s sure old enough to stand trial and if convicted to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Is Obama the first First Lady to enjoy the perks of the office?
It's a waste of time to bring up past administration's expenditures. It just is. And when the Republicans get back in someday, we can surely expect a Republican uprising when THEIR next First Lady goes abroad, right? They just want a reason to moan.....because they are the losing team this time, and that's politics.

Alan, I think what people need to understand is that United states of America is not a full democracy. A complete democracy does not exist anywhere in the world and we don?t have a case of one that has ever worked. We are a republic.

I have struggled with this issue of gay marriage and equal rights. although I am a heterosexual male, I think the issue has to do with basic human rights and dignity. We need to be able to have certain in-alienable rights. One of which is to marry whomever we please.

I am an American citizen with a deep appreciation of the balanced system our founding fathers created. The protection against the tyranny of the majority has been an important consideration throughout the history of our government and we must not allow a very important threshold to be crossed. The majority can not trample on the civil rights of the minority.

Alan, as a Jewish person I am appalled that we as a country allow Muslims to fly a flag of victory over our built site where over 3000 souls have perished. Would Jews be able to build a synagogue in Meca anywhere? Let alone on their holiest sites? Can Christians? This has always been the way of Islam, its a consuming culture and nation. They take over our synagogues and build their mosques on top of their holly site and fly your flag of victory. They did this in turkey, Iran and most notable in Israel. I am trying to be open minded, but common. Where is the decency?

Bush created only 3 mil jobs, worst than any president in my lifetime. Carter created 16 mil. The country was bleeding 700000 jobs per month at the end of his debacle. Are conservatives seriously trying to blame Obama for Bush's unemployment mess? Really? Seriously?

How can America's Congress justify spending $250MM A DAY (UNFUNDED) to support the people of Afghanistan and Iraq (mostly war lords) yet argue the pittance to support their own citizens in hard times. Congress is constantly beating into the American people that we are either way too good or way too lazy to do the menial ...jobs that illegal immigrants will do. Then when there are massive layoffs across the nation because Corporations want to show a better bottom line to their stockholders, the American People once again are disrespected by Congress and called Slothful!

Alan, Just listening to the Gary Coleman 911 call is chilling and a bit nauseating. But I had to hear Gary's voice one more time. I admit:
something doesn't seem quite 'right' about Gary's former wife's reaction during the 911 situation. It's also of concern because she made the decision to have his life support terminated when she may not have had legal authority. An investigation is definitely needed. The situation reminds me of the strange circumstances around Dana Plato's death, when the guy she had just met took tabloid pics of her while she was dying in her minivan.

You still are all that, but now, after hearing you on Fox News with Megan speaking out, in favor, of some fed agencies cancelling conferences in Az., it's clear that you are also: A COMMUNIST/SYMPATHIZER, CRY BABY TOO!!
With all due respect...

Alan, Your spin, apology, deflection on the Black Panther Abrams et al case - is repulsive. You, Mr. Civil Libertarian - defending these actions is abhorrent on several levels. 1- As a Jew (I am a Jew) your spin is akin is propaganda. 2- You have chosen your politics over ethics. Your hypocrisy is blatant, disgusting - Talmud says where there is no man, be a man. Change your first name to Josef.

Alan, Someone once told me when I was younger that there are more horses asses in this world than horses. I think that all those horses asses are the people who call your show. I believe that it is remarkable that you are to withstand and deal with such pure ignorance in the effective way that you do on your Radio show. You are right. Your intellectually limited followers seem to have no idea what socialism is. For one to call Obama a socialist truly displays their ignorance. Why are Americans so lacking in the ability to apply critical thinking? In my view, because they have been conditioned by their religious training since childhood to view topics in terms of black and white, good and bad, and to accept bullshit without question. And that's why I defected to Europe 22 years ago.
Keep up the good work. Courage!

We are living in troubling times. There is massive partisan division in this country and this administration is doing nothing to tone down the racist rhetoric from the far left, the NAACP, and the New Black Panthers. A New Black Panthers member called for the death of all white "crackers" and their "cracker" babies. What would bring someone to say such a thing. The answer may be found in the teaching of Marxist Black Liberation Theology. For information on this dark theology read the article by Anthony B. Bradley. Mr. Bradley is a research fellow at the Acton Institute, and visiting professor of theology at the King's College in New York.
