Alan Colmes

Alan Colmes is the liberal half of Fox News Channel's popular political debate program Hannity and Colmes, along with the conservative Sean Hannity. He was born on September 24, 1950. He was a well known radio talk show personality in the New York City area before being asked to co-host the show at Hannity's request.

Criticisms

Colmes is often criticized by the left. Although he identifies himself as a liberal, some liberals view him as being a pushover and milquetoast-like, providing a weak counter to Hannity. Al Franken, in his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them prints Colmes' name in smaller font throughout his text to emphasize this, and the term Fox News liberal has appeared partly as a result of this perception http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=1158
