This show is as vile as it gets. Colmes is very weak and was a virtual unknown until, he "sold out" to become Hannity's whipping boy. No self respecting politician of any stripe would appear on Fox; the voice of the growing neo-fascist movement in this country. For the scoop on Hannity and Colmes and Fox and the now almost totally right-wing media in this country; see "Orwell Rolls in his Grave" and "OutFoxed" Rupert Murcoch's War on Journalism. Jefferson said "Eternal vigilance is the price of Democracy". The founding fathers never envisioned the event of the entire communications media and the press falling into the hands of the rich and powerful few. There are no checks and balances for this, as the right wing media continues to stifle true dissent and replace it with faux debate forums such as this. This show is professional wrestling, bull fighting, the Harlem Globetrotters vs. Washington. It ain't news, and the sad sacks it trots out to represent the opposition are not true competitors. Give us Buckley vs. Vidal if you want a real heavyweight title bout. I know, Bill Buckley, hardly seems fair, but despite his uncontrollable twitching he is the best they've got and perhaps the best mind of 8th century.

Claims that Hannity & Colmes is mindlessly distortionistic betray a complete lack of understanding of the show. Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes bring a greater diversity of views than is found on most such debate segments of news programs such as the old This Week With David Brinkley series. That Sean Hannity seems to win more debates than loses may have to do with having command of the issues as well as strong delivery.In any event, Hannity & Colmes offers real debate and real ideological diversity.

Soon to beat-out CNN's Larry King for the 9:00 slot on cable, Fox News Channel's "Hannity and Colmes" is easily the best political debate show - bar none. Alan Colmes, although extremely knowledgeable and a worthy combatant for the liberal viewpoint, is overshadowed by the brilliant, up-and-coming voice of conservatism, Sean Hannity, who also hosts his own radio talk show on WABC.

And that only scratches the surface. Mindlessly distortionistic of fact and truth. as is FOX TV News in it's entirety. None the less this excuse fo a show is given worldwide acclaim. Just goes to show you how some people cannot think for themselves. Anybody watching this show, do yourself a favor and stop it.
