Alan,
You do have a difficult job and I commend you for your courage in working at Fox. Here’s a little ammunition for you when you’re accused of being a “liberal” ( as if that’s somehow a bad thing )
According to the Bible, Isaiah 32: 5-8, ( King James Version, which makes it that much stronger ) you’re in very good company.5 The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be bountiful.
6 For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise hypocrisy, and to utter error against the Lord, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
7 The instruments also of the churl are evil: he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaketh right.
8 But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he stand.The word conservative doesn’t appear in the Bible. But Liberal does, and in the most glowing of terms. How does anyone that believes that the Bible is the inerrent word of God, reconcile this obvious contradiction with the views promoted by the religious right?. Being a liberal is not something to be ashamed of. It’s something to be proud of. Sean Hannity may think liberals are the spawn of Satan, but God seems to have a completely different view. Who’s right? God or Sean Hannity?
If those who are the most devoutly religious among us and believe in the Bible as the word of God, then they are going to face a serious problem. How do they claim to believe in the Bible and not acknowledge their own hypocrisy when it comes to their views on liberalism? With this kind of ammunition in your arsenal, I leave it to you as to how you apply it when dealing with some of the crazies that you have to deal with as part of your job. Hope this makes that a little easier.

You have never been proud to be an American.

I would answer that question by saying that cynicism, negativism, and pessimism are cheap and vulgar, and defy hope. To the extent that I don’t think that way, I have to answer your question as follows: since I am always hopeful, yes, that goes for everyone that doesn’t think like me.

Alan,
I know that you are a HRC supporter and you voted for her even though a respectable man should keep his vote secret. But i do understand that you want to do everything to undermine Barack Obama but we are watching you closely and stop putting these lame pictures on your website. Stop disturting Barack Obama records and statements.
Stop the Bickering or stop acting as if you were this nice liberal. You are a vicious and viral man. No matter what you do, Barack will win this election hands down. So, live with it.

Alan:

Sometimes I wonder if you really believe what you’re saying. You’re the kind of guy that thinks Hitler, Hussein and Manson should be given a voice and you would actually consider all three men’s side of the story as possible truth. Even given you know their character and crimes committed. You’d really give them the benefit of the doubt and you’d ask their accusers if they actually….really….without question, saw Hitler, Hussein or Manson “do” the dirty deed themselves.

That’s like questioning if the sun really came up today….maybe it really didn’t and we’re just so used to it coming up every day, it’s just our imagination!

You blow me away with your (lack of) logic and common, sensible decision making skills.

I don’t mean the aforementioned in a mean way…just stating what I consider a sad fact about you and fortunately, fewer than 50% of this country’s citizens.

However, I do hope you have a good day and your health well!

Lester

It’s so easy to mention Hitler, et al to your opponents in any analogy isn’t it? So nice that you misstate my thoughts on dictators, slam my reasoning skills, and then tell me how you don’t wish to be mean. Oh, and have a good day.
