At Fox News, Hannity Gets Multimillion Dollar Contract Extension; Colmes Gets Called 'Dumb Bastard'

Hedgehog and Fox: Colmes and Hannity
Hedgehog and Fox: Colmes and Hannity

Earlier this week, Richard Huff of the New York Daily News broke the story that conservative pundit Sean Hannity had signed a new multimillion dollar contract with Fox News, which will keep him at the cable news network through 2012.

"The new deal will keep Hannity as one-half of the nightly show Hannity & Colmes, which he does with Allan Colmes," reported Mr. Huff. "Today, the nightly show he hosts with Colmes has been No. 1 at 9 p.m. among the cable news networks for the past 58 months."

How's Mr. Colmes doing?

Today we checked in with Mr. Colmes' personal blog, Liberaland.

There, Mr. Colmes has just posted some fun feedback from Fox News fans. The e-mails offer a nice window into the life of Fox News' most prominent prime-time liberal.

"I have to say I wonder if in a previous incarnation you were a member of the Hitler Youth," one fan writes to Mr. Colmes.

"You hate America, you, like Obama want to see us lose the war, and you want to see Obama put his turbin back on and turn this country into a terrorist state where people like you who bow down to popularity instead of standing up for freedom survive," writes another fan.

"I WOULD KILL MY SELF IS I WAS KIN TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" writes yet another.

Hang in there, Mr. Colmes! 2012 is just around the corner.

Hannity may be the biggest know-nothing blowhard on the planet. He constantly shows his ignorance. Limbaugh has a sense of humor. Hannity has only a sense of himself.

Obama's Chicago Style Change ! (not verified) says:

.
CHANGE ?
As America enters the final weeks of the 2008 Presidential Election a community organization based in CHICAGO named ACORN (with ties to Barack Obama) has come under fire for voter fraud. Acorn's explanation is possible mistakes by employees and they can't help that. Do they think Americans are that stupid? Frankly I believe the Government is that stupid to keep funding these organizations with OUR TAX DOLLARS. When you step back and look at the series of events unfolding it is easy to see that AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS have been funding the fix of the "FIX" of the Presidential election.---PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

You want CHANGE?
CHANGE Chicago style...

BODY COUNT
In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago,
(221 killed in Iraq) .
WHO'S IN CHARGE IN ILLINOIS ?
Gov. Rod Blogojevich
House leader Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor Richard M. Daley (son of former infamous Mayor Richard J. Daley)
&
SENATORS
BARACK OBAMA
&
DICK DURBIN

...the leadership in Illinois .....all Democrats.
Chicago is a combat zone. Of course they're all blaming each other.
Can't blame Republicans, there aren't any!

State pension fund $44 Billion in debt, worst in country.
Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country.
(Look'em up if you want). Chicago school system one of the worst in country

This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois.
He's gonna 'fix' Washington politics?
GET REAL !

JUST A GROWING SENSE. ... BUT THIS IS GOING TO TURN OUT TO BE THE

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WITH THE MOST 'INACCURATE' POLLING SINCE THE

DEWEY-TRUMAN ELECTION IN THE EARLY 1950'S (WHEN THE NEWSPAPERS PRINTED

THE WRONG RESULTS).

*** MCCAIN & PALIN WILL WIN ! ***

NO WAY OBAMA IS GOING TO GET THE NUMBERS THE POLLSTERS ARE REPORTING.

For Hold the Printing Presses:

You have no sense. The only thing that's "growing" is probably your prostate.

For Obama Chicago Style Change:

Obama is a real Chicago style politico...he'll deliver for the middle class, not just for the billionaires. Also, he'll leave John Sidney McCain III with cement shoes in Lake Michigan.

Who cares what powell thinks. He is a poor army officer. 4 Stars my butt! I know he is retired
I know why he got 4 stars.
Officers in the military are not supposed to be involved or comment on civilian political ideas. Did he resign his commission?
If he did not resign, he's still eligible for recall to active duty. How I wish!

I enjoy Hannity and Colmes when/if Colmes can sit down and have the courtesy to shut up while a guest replies to a question.His childish prattle is a real distraction,preventing viewers from learning anything except how mindlessly liberal he is.Take your Ritalin,Alan. Sean, keep up the good work-hope you get an adult for your next partner.

Dear Mr Hannity:

My name is Georgina Esteva. I live in Coral Gables, Fl.,Joe Biden said that Barak Obama would be tested. Fox has reacted strongly to this statement but failed to address the fact that Biden is pleading for support to the response that Obama will take to such action. What kind of action is being anticipated and what kind of response is going to be taken that Obama/Biden team know it is not going to be approved by the citizens of this Nation? Would it be an attack on Israel, Georgia or an attack in the United States? This is very dangerous.

Please give my letter some thougt.

I admire you and I am a loyal viewer of your program.

Sean Hannity is my hero.....he is so right on with everything he says about Barrack Obama. I watch Fox News and Hannity every night, and this last program about the 10 reasons to NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA was brilliant!! Hopefully the American public will listen, and will think about what they are voting for before they go into the booth on Nov, 4. I am praying every day to God to save our great country from harm. Obama is a very dangerous man. God willing Senator John McCain will be our next president. Thank you Sean Hannity for fighting and trying to help to make people see through the lies and rhetoric so they make the right choice for the good of our great country and every American.

So glad to hear that about Hannity. He is just unbelievably hilarious. And a great actor too.
Guess it takes a lot of effort and natural acting talent to reach those levels of utter stupidity and ignorance.
All in all, I am sure he is doing it on purpose to sabotage GOP.

Mr. Colmes - a rare breeze of common sense and someone who actually thinks by himself. Pleasure to watch.

Dear Hannity: I am a 69 years old and retired. I pride myself in listenting to all sides when it comes to politics. Under the current administration (George Bush) and his faithful companion, (John McCain), the average people of the United States have been lead down a path to the poor house. George Bush ignored all the signs that a financial crisis was developing in our great country. He continued to take from the middle class and poor and give to the rich. I am all for having hard work payoff with great and deserved wealth. Giving billions of tax credits to the already rich makes no sense. Give some of those billions to the ones who deserve it.

I realize that with your recent multimillion new contract, you will have to pay uncle sam a few more bucks and i hope you don't have to give up anything you truly worked hard for as result.

Why don't you donate some of you extra income to Reverend Wright who you have slandered religiously. You might also want to offer him protection from the bigots who just might take your attacks on him seriously and try to do him harm simply because you have brainwashed them to hate a man who speaks his heart, just like you supposedly do.

In closing, you don't seem to understand that what you are doing is really hurting the man you claim to support for president.

We are not all idiots as you tell us we are everyday.

Remember the bible phrases, "Judge not lest you be judged" & and" he among you who is without sin cast the first judgement stone"

Hoping you repent,

Dear Jean Hannity,
Thank you for exposing the different questionable elements that Obama chose to call his friends and spiritual mentors during his growing and mind expanding years,so instrumental in shaping his political ambitions. - History repeats itself! I speak as a german born & raised, canadian citizen living in the US, married to a now retired military American.The younger generation in America does not know or understand how Hitler came to rise and fall during the Nazi era. There is an uncanny similarity which send shivers down my spine when I hear Obamas speeches, and many of his ideas are very similar to Hitler's when he started out. - Alan Colmes is very irritating & unpleasant - don't know how you Jean can tolerate him or how Fox News sponsors can support him, frankly I feel sorry for him because he doesn't even know how pathetic he is, interrupting intelligent guests in his child-like manner- truly unbelievable why he insists on constantly making a fool of himself! Short of becoming offensive I have to refrain myself - needless to say Jean, your show would be much better without Colmes!
Keep up your good work Jean Hannity - you are doing the american public a great service, wish most of them wouldn't be so small minded with their blinders on by watching only CNN, ABC, MSNBC, but instead watching you and Greta & Bill.
Hope this message will get to you Hannity,
Glad to hear you are going to be on for the next few years.
Kindly, Renat R.
