It's not hard to intimidate Alan, and I love seeing people do it - especially lately. :-)

LOL! Saw that as it happened.

Intimidating Alan Colmes isn't very difficult, apparently.

Also, since this is a Colmes thread, guess what the Kossacks have to say about him:

Alan Colmes
From dKosopedia

Alan Colmes is the suspiciously weak and ineffective "liberal" foil to Sean Hannity on Fox News. Before he was hired by Fox News, the open spot he filled was labeled as "LTBD" or "Liberal To Be Determined." Worse than a milquetoast, Colmes serves as the liberal Stepin Fetchit for Fox. He is a figure almost masochistic in his willingness to give ground in arguments to conservative guests by providing strawman arguments. It is also highly suspicious that Fauxnews picked a Secular Jew to fill the role of a liberal.

Colmes also hosts a late night radio program The Alan Colmes Show.

Amazing how its always about race and religion for the "progressives", isn't it?

Too bad Joe or Tito isn't in my district - I'd vote for either to represent me.

LMAO! Tell it Tito- we're NOT stupid!

/We've got the declining msm revenues to prove it.

I loved it, it was friggen' hilarious!

I think it's finally becoming clear who really makes up "the Right" in this country these days and it's guys like Joe an Tito ald women like Sarah who love their country and want the opportunity to be successful - not a handout. They care about the future for the sake of their children.

Alan shrinks before the common man. Joe spanked him also.

I loved the way he deadpanned that stuff.

Booze and pills.

That must be how Colmes sleeps at night.

When I noticed this at HotAir, my first thought was that it was the Dems' answer to Joe the Plumber, but with not a scintilla of thought to the significance of another guy named Tito.

But no. He's apparently campaigning with Palin.

I love this guy- he's the real deal, the antithesis of the typical latte-sipping "radical chic" metrosexual nouveau socialist BO supporter.

Tito is a real American!

Wait- Sean Vannity will credit the Columbus Dispatch, but not Charles or zombie?!

What a jerk!

re: #11 abolitionist

He did more than that. He went to a rally specifically to confront the media over their treatment of Joe the Plumber. He confronted Corn and smacked him around but good. The video is floating around the net.

Damn, Tito has the left pegged! I had this on last night, but it's even better when I'm concentrating on what he says.

Tito for HUD secretary

GO Tito!

You are being sheltered by the sweat and effort of construction workers, perhaps those of a century or more ago.

It is to Tito and those like him whom we owe for our cushy lives, not to politicians like Obama.

His radio show is a joke.

At first, back in 2004, I thought he was decent. But I really have no idea where he stands. He seems like he tries too hard to be nice, rather than calling it like it is. I find him very weak as a 'conservative'. But he is MSLSD's token 'conservative', so that's a good thing. But they did kick him to the morning show. Can't have him compete with Olberdunce or Thrill Up My Leg.

Tito's going to make bank licensing himself out for action dolls.

Tito!

Great job. Actually quite eloquent.

I really hope he helps to lure some Hispanics back to McCain.

I had though that, since McCain is very soft on immigration, he was going to get a lot of the Hispanic vote. But no (if you can believe the polls), for some reason Obama is apparently waaaaaayyyy ahead amongst Hispanics. Why?

re: #47 Junior

[Hannity's radioshow] is a joke.

Definitely not a Hannity fan, myself. His show is strictly boilerplate, along the lines you spelled out. I admire his ability to confront oppositional guests, and he seems like a nice enough fellow, but he's certainly not breathtakingly insightful. There are much better (often at the local level) radio show hosts out there.

I have yet to hear one person who has come to the USA from another country that has not said that America is the greatest country on earth. Every single person that I have heard on TV, read about or spoken to who has immigrated to the US loves this country for what it stands for and the opportunity it offers to everyone. And they all support the Republican viewpoint.

Obama's New Attack on Those Who Don't Want Higher Taxes: ‘Selfishness’

Jake Tapper
October 31, 2008 10:58 AM

On the stump this week, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has pushed back against Sen. John McCain's description of his tax policies.

"The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich," Obama said in Sarasota, Florida, yesterday. "I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it. That’s the America dream, that’s the American way, that’s terrific.

"The point is, though, that -- and it’s not just charity, it’s not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class -- it’s that when we actually make sure that everybody’s got a shot – when young people can all go to college, when everybody’s got decent health care, when everybody’s got a little more money at the end of the month – then guess what? Everybody starts spending that money, they decide maybe I can afford a new car, maybe I can afford a computer for my child. They can buy the products and services that businesses are selling and everybody is better off. All boats rise. That’s what happened in the 1990s, that’s what we need to restore. And that’s what I’m gonna do as president of the United States of America.

"John McCain and Sarah Palin they call this socialistic," Obama continued. "You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."

It's unclear if this was a nod to the Ayn Rand book "The Virtue of Selfishness," with all that the invocation of Rand implies.

It would seem to be, given the themes of Rand's work, what happens when independent achievers are demonized.

Which would fit with this description of those who want to keep their hard-earned tax dollars as "selfish."

Atlas may not be shrugging, but Obama is.

McCain was the one who got it rolling with Joe the Plumber.

Tito started out as Tito the Construction Worker, but that moniker is a bit cumbersome. But seeing him with his hardhat at events it was just a natural to spin off from Bob the Builder.

I find it amusing, yet useful as it shows the middle class, blue collar types still can be welcome in the party.

Dow is up. Good for Mac.

That was great! Somehow I must have missed that segment last night. Tito really took it to Skelator, his part about the crumbs at the end is so right on. Wonder what Tito would have said if asked about O's elitist "clinging to their guns and religion" comment.

re: #42 Sharmuta

Yeah- pretty ridiculous when a regular American gets to voice their opinion.

Also notice - Tito has it spot on where he says that people like Obama will give the little people crumbs so that they themselves can stay in power.

Tito gets it! Keep the little man down and give him just enough freebies to keep him happy. I hate the elitist mentality! One thing you can say about George Bush—he doesn't think or act like he's better than everyone else!

re: #72 musicman

It takes a stainless steel pair of balls to call other people selfish when you let your own brother live in a hut on a $1 a month and leave your aunt living in one of the worst public housing projects in Boston.

I agree Hannitys show is hard to take. If you ever break down the content, there is hardly any there, he repeat a few slogans over and over. After the commercial break he list 5-6 stories that will be coming up, and as he does he gives pretty much all the material he has on each story. Then he goes into one particular story and dwells on it for 5 minutes, not ever going any deeper than the story intro. Then just before the next break he again takes two minute to summarize the stories that are coming up. After the break he repeats the process.
after awhile your ears are bleeding.

I've always found the Democrat cliche of only the rich being Republican as one that really needs to go away.

I've been conservative Republican my whole voting life (and a few years before). Almost all of my friends are the same. We have never been confused with the rich almost all of us being blue collar or military enlisted. Kind of hard to be confused with the rich folks when you are driving a 1999 Ford Escort. Blue collar types have always been welcomed into the Republican party except with certain elitist types at the high social rungs-but the Democrats have them also. Anyone think Gore, Kennedys, Pelosi, Soros, Gates, Obama would ever have any carpenters or enlisted soldiers over for some beers to watch a ball game?

re: #62 zombie

I had though that, since McCain is very soft on immigration, he was going to get a lot of the Hispanic vote. But no (if you can believe the polls), for some reason Obama is apparently waaaaaayyyy ahead amongst Hispanics. Why?

I have a theory that a certain portion of the Latino community has chosen to identify with African Americans, specifically, with ghetto/gang/hip-hop/street culture. (That's not a put down, just a description.) They've bought into collectivism and group identity. Most Latinos come here ready to work and achieve the American Dream, and many of them proceed to do just that. Others, however, adopt the victim mentality pressed on them by La Raza and MeCHA. There's a certain appeal in swaggering around in baggy pants and gang colors while Uncle Sugar supports your girlfriends and their babies. Educational attainment among second- and third-generation Latinos is actually lower than that of new immigrants, while the illegitimacy rates is now second only to African-Americans.

City Journal covers a lot of these issues. For example, Heather MacDonald has an excellent article, from 2006, called Hispanic Family Values? The question mark is in the original.

Obama's New Attack on Those Who Don't Want Higher Taxes: ‘Selfishness’

Great (and short) read on this very topic today in Powerline:

We've been writing for some years about the fact that America's income tax system has increasingly concentrated tax liability among the highest income earners. Currently, the top ten percent of American income earners pay 71 percent of all income taxes. Our excessively progressive tax system has created a dangerous situation in which anyone can vote for politicians who promise to deliver goodies by "spreading the wealth," but only a handful are responsible for paying the bills. Whether a democracy can survive indefinitely under these circumstances is an open question.

Great brainwashing job on their part.

Cash does help when it comes to brainwashing. Look at how much a couple of Obama's executive bullet points on his resume, The CAC and the Woods Fund, threw at programs designed to indoctrinate children with anti-American ideas. Control the schools and mold the children. Right out of Uncle Vladimir's playbook.

Great brainwashing job on their part.

The clock pretty much stopped for the Democrats back in 1932 (as witnessed by the fact that they've been, until now, running against Herbert Hoover since then) and back then most of the rich folks were Republicans so I guess that explains it.

Damn people keep coming out the woodwork. First, Joe the Plumber. Then Tito the Builder. The next thing we know, there will be a Bob the Mechanic, a Nadene the Waitress, and a Bubba the Busdriver.

Go Tito! Go Joe! Go Sarah! You guys are making a dent in the people who have listened to the old hippies!

re: #47 Junior

This is pretty much Hannity's radio show:

1) Read Drudge headlines
2) Take calls on Drudge headlines
3) Repeat the same 4 things about 20 times over the course of ever hour (things like "let not your heart be troubled" - or his new concert schedule - "you're a great American" - "I'm so humble" - "I am so great" - etc)
4) Repeat 3 times a day.

His radio show is a joke.

That's not accurate. Hannity has alot of important guests on his show like Dick Morris, Oliver North, and Karl Rove, to name a few. Don't be a hater. Hannity's show is one of the most popular. Hannity does alot of work for the troops and for the republicans. You sound like an Air America troll.

re: #109 shiek al beif salami

Damn people keep coming out the woodwork. First, Joe the Plumber. Then Tito the Builder. The next thing we know, there will be a Bob the Mechanic, a Nadene the Waitress, and a Bubba the Busdriver.

that's why this election will be a true people's revolution.

It must frighten the Obama campaign when these rogue little people grab the microphone and finally have their say.

re: #118 shiek al beif salami

It must frighten the Obama campaign when these rogue little people grab the microphone and finally have their say.

That's why Obama is afraid of town hall formats.

I was in a Federal courtroom last week listening to prospective jurors being questioned by the judge as to whether they should not or could not serve on jury duty. One gentleman, in a heavy Hispanic accent, began to answer the judge and then he began to cry. He said that he loved this country and wanted more than anything to do his duty as a citizen, but he had not learned to read or write in English well enough to understand the proceedings. He apologized more than once for not being able to do so. He was probably the only one there who wanted to serve. When it came my time to answer those same questions, I could not say no.

re: #109 shiek al beif salami

Along the same blue-collar sense of things, from late in the previous thread, posted by No Submission (post 1743):

True story.
This happened to a good friend of mine, told to me first-hand this morning.

Last night on a bus to Queens .

A friend of mine who is a huge McCain/Palin supporter and also happens to be gay was on a very crowded bus headed for Queens . He had a number of McCain/Palin campaign buttons pinned to his work bag. All of a sudden this moonbat in his late 40’s with long greasy hair and a black trench coat stands over him and starts eyeballing the buttons on his bag and begins to mutter to himself. My friend asked him if he had a problem and the moonbat said something about those ‘ugly buttons’ and how he’s been brainwashed. My friend said, ‘look, I don’t have anything to say to you. You can think whatever you like.’ The moonbat started going off about how bad America is and awful this country is. Suddenly an Iraqi man a seat away gets up and says, ‘You can't say that. America is a great country. I came here from Iraq 10 years ago to escape Saddam. I am an American citizen now. The Americans saved my country and freed my people. I will never go back there because I love it here. America is the greatest place. I have a business here and a good life thanks to America .’ The moonbat then said, ‘Then you both must be listening to those Nazis.’ Then an older Jewish woman gets up and elbows her way through the crowd. She said, ‘I survived the Holocaust. I lived under the Nazis.’ She pulled up her sleeve and showed her concentration camp tattoo. She went on, “You should be ashamed of yourself for comparing the United States to Nazis! How dare you!” The moonbat moved away still muttering. Clearly outflanked. Then another woman sitting nearby leaned over to my friend and said, ‘Thank you. Before now I didn’t know who to vote for. But if that guy is one of Obama’s fans then I am voting for McCain!’ The bus pulled over and through the window everyone saw the moonbat go flying out and hit cement, his bag on the ground his papers scattered and his commie socialist newspapers blowing in the wind. Then this other guy onboard who was quiet all along said in a heavy NY accent, “Just call me Vinny the Plumber. I do things the Queens way, I tripped the ___________!”

re: #121 The Archivist

All I can say is, what bus number? LOL! I live in Queens.

re: #121 The Archivist

I think a lot of political tripping will take place on Tuesday.

My daughter is a junior at a local university and is voting for her first presidential election. She showed me her souvenir photocopy of her completed absentee ballot, and let's just say that not every college kid votes Democrat.

re: #20 WrathofG-d

I'll admit, I didn't watch the video.

But, seriously...now there is a "Tito The Builder"? "Joe The Plumber" (who accidentally became a celebrity) made sense, but now "Tito".

This is getting a bit ridiculous isn't it?

(I know how these things go so...the ding down is in red, upper right corner)

Ask and ye shall receive. Down you go.

Tito is speaking for us all.

My cousin (much younger cousin) was the president of the College Republicans in 2004 AND student body president. To hold both mantles simultaneously would back up your statement "that not every college kid votes Democrat".

re: #65 realwest

Crap. Downloaded Flash 10 and still can't get it to play on YouTube except in spurts.
Thanks anyway.

Here's what I have had to do. Restart my computer, then open up youtube and play any video. Leaving that window open I then open a new window to LGF. Play the video in the new window. Works every time for me.

Tito The Builder and Joe The Plumber must run for presidency.
Seriously.

I love the media and other assorted liberal hacks (i.e. state government in Ohio) that will probe in Joe the Plumber's person life - and now probably Tito as well, are the the same people that scream and demand that we don't intercept incoming calls from abroad from terrorists.

re: #129 Not amazed in NJ

extremely good point. I'm coming out of lurk mode to give you ding up for that insight.

re: #93 SFGoth

Anyone notice the black woman next to Tito?

She's obviously Caribbean from her accent. Jamaican maybe. Many Caribbean blacks are very conservative and don't buy into the victim mentality.

She seems just as fiesty as Tito.

Love it when Tito says,
"No no no not liberal! Socialist! Socialist!"

Tito es el hombre grande.

re: #131 Colonel Panik

Tito es el Heffe!

re: #121 The Archivist

That's hilarious!

Ah, but just a bit too good to be true...

I saw Tito last night on Hannity and "the other guy" and he was not intimidated at all. Alan so likes to talk over other people talking and Tito was having none of it. Tito was clear and strong on his message.

I love to hear Dick Moris, when he's had it with Colmes.

The only thing ridiculous is that you don't know what you're talking about. Tito actually introduced himself to that moron Corn and other media jerks as Tito The Builder and then went on to school them on how they dug up dirt on Joe and not on Obama. Reading is fundamental, so is getting informed.

That was fantastic. Thank you for posting this. Tito is a very cool guy. In broken English, he makes more sense than anyone else that I have heard in explaining how the Democrats toss crumbs to people. This should be aired by McCain since this dude has it all down when it comes to what freedom is and the beauty of this country. These are the type of people that came here to build this nation and fall in love with freedom. God bless you, Tito.

Really awesome.

Tito has the socialist noblesse oblige thing down pat. Where's he from originally?

I think there will be many, many such surprises all across the country this election. McCain by 5% overall.

Damn, I just love this guy! Thanks for posting it, some of us don't have cable.

Accent or no, I love his message. He sounds like about 80 percent of the men in my 'hood, all macho types, blue collar jobs, they love their Harleys, their low riders and their beer. I get along fine with every one of them, and the are the type of MEN that I want on MY side, not these limp wristed metro sexual types typical of Obama supporters.

BTW, I dig Salsa music too.

re: #72 musicman

The Obama knows selfish, everything this guy says and does centers around him. Got news for you, Americans are the most generous people on the planet, bar none. The problem is you see, we do not care for well fed elected hacks commanding us on how to spend our hard earned money.

re: #24 JammieWearingFool

I've never met a Tito I didn't like.

What about Jackson?

re: #56 Piglet-U93

Obama is half black and half white. So, not voting for him is only half racist and voting for him is only half racist.

Is this a win-win or loss-loss situation?
I am so confused.

Here's an idea - a vote for McCain is a vote for America. No confusion there!

Everything else pales in comparison, especially the black/white non-issue...

JAFLW

Bwahahaha! I loved this when I saw it yesterday, but I couldn't quite soak it all in because I was pre-occupied with something else. Now that I watch it again, it is much more enjoyable without any distractions. Tito is incredibly sharp, direct and astute, having a quick comeback for anything Comes said (who reported ayers? who? Fox News, the only one - that shut colmes up). I also like him because though he may not talk like an aristocrat (heavy ethnic accent, blue collar tone), he is not any less enlightened than those in the "ruling class". This is exactly the kind of guy I like, the kind of conservative I relate to and Tito and Joe the Plumber are exactly what Sarah Palin is and eventually will reprsent when she's unleashed on her own. These are the people who the condescending elites like David Brooks David Frum and Peggy Noonan look down upon and the type of person liberal republicans such as Colin Powell and Scott Mclellan can not stomach. But conservative Democrats, Libertarians and social conservatives love them...the majority of this center right nation.

and I love his colombian gangster look, lol. Not to stereotype him or anything. He said he had an eye infection or something, hence the shades, I say he make that part of his image whenever he goes on TV.

re: #112 FrogMarch

Obama is a snob. He can't even take care of his own family. But he looks down his nose at the rest of us for wanting to take care of ours. Screw him.

Thanks, but I'd rather not. Besides, The One is going to do his level best to screw US!

JAFLW

Yo Soy Tito.

Skeletor: "I wish I was that powerful (to keep you in the dark)" No shit.

re: #34 gruvin

This guy needs to speak directly to the hoardes of Hispanic voters ready to pull the lever for Obama. Buy time on Univision or Telemundo, and have him deliver his message in espanol.

Best idea yet

re: #134 Miss Molly

dick Morris said it best, he likes to "heckle". It is incredibly annoying and worse than interrupting. As someone is making a point, he slips in side comments and rebukes, sprinkling his opinion in small amounts all over their words. he doesn't quite talk over them, just throws in a shot here and there and it can be infuriating. make your point, listen, make a counter point. colmes, who i don't think is such a bad guy, relies heavily on Red herrings and distraction techniques. Dick Morris had enough of it and the last time the two were on together, Colmes didn't heckle him once and actually let him make his point. score one for Morris.

re: #3 looking closely

from the KosKidsKlan:
"It is also highly suspicious that Fauxnews picked a Secular Jew to fill the role of a liberal."

Yeah, it sure is suspicious, because how many of us have known secular Jews who are also liberals? It's a plot, I tell ya ..

I can't really stand Hannity or Colmes, but Colmes makes me retch whenever I see him. If Tito scares the scarecrow freak under the desk he can stay there and Tito can take his place in co-hosting the show.

re: #5 Sharmuta

We need a few battalions of Titos...he was magnificent, and here is his CV; if it has been posted, sorry! Kids are already trick or treating here.

re: #56 Piglet-U93

Obama is half black and half white. So, not voting for him is only half racist and voting for him is only half racist.

His radio show is a joke.

Yep. I heard him repeat the same talking points six times in a fifteen minute span the other day. It was nauseating. He says he wants three hours of your time every day, but it's built for three minutes a day. And now he's on a narcissistic kick, decrying the Dems who mention him by name and wondering why they're picking on "little old Sean Hannity" and then playing audio clips with these guys mentioning him by name, as if anybody really cares. Believe me, if the fairness doctrine is brought back to life by the Dems (let's all hope not), his is one show I won't miss at all.

I don't watch that show very often, but I happened to catch it just as the guy was introduced....Classic!...he scared the creature of the black lagoon!...LMAO!

Good for Tito. I would love a one-on-one w/ Colmes

I would like to kick his smart nuts up into the roof of his smart mouth.

Buckley summed it all up a long time ago ... I think that this is from "Meet the Press" 40 years ago:

re: #129 Not amazed in NJ

Yes the so called liberals have no qualms about illegally looking through an honest citizen's private records and releasing the details to embarrass him if it benefited them; they are so silent about it......but you would see no end to their anger if somehow the FBI had searched through Zacarias Moussaoui's computer and had discovered more details about his nefarious plans that may have prevented 9/11.

The Left has a warped sense of reality; of right and wrong; of good and bad.......that is why you still see idiots who agree with Obama's comparison of the US with Nazi Germany.

It was Nazi Germany that started a war the resulted in the loss of millions of life but it was the US who was largely responsible for stopping Hitler and preventing millions more from being killed. And it was the US who helped Europe to rebuild after that disastrous war.

The Left's warped sense of reality is not only irresponsible but also dangerous. The Islamofascists do not need another reason to hate the US. They see the US's status as a superpower as an affront to their sense of religious superiority. And the US stands in their way of destroying Israel and spreading Islamic hegemony and achieving worldwide conquest someday. By accusing the US of being as bad as the Nazi's....the left energizes the Islamofascists' hatred for the US.

Haha! THat guy is fucking great

Takes big balls to go against the grain of your community. Just like the tiny, tiny percentage of blacks that are McCain supporters.

This guy should rally in New Mexico, teach some of his latino brothers (thing or two about thinking independently.

Great!

The most telling part was when Colmes mentioned other media covered Ayers &c, so the MSM did not need to cover it. WHAT?

re: #20 WrathofG-d

Yeah..you're right. How dare average blue-collar American's open their mouths and say something. Somebody better tell them to shut up huh. We don't need to listen to these guys, after all we have such enlightened people as Nancy the Rep, Harry the Senator, Colin the turncoat, John the laywer et. al to listen to. I just hope Tito doesn't have any skeletons in his closet or we're going to see him destroyed ...naw on second thought.....I guess they wouldn't bother. The thing that pissed the left off is that Joe the Plumber accidentally exposed Obama's real agenda...therefore, he needed to be destroyed at all costs, an example so to speak.

Obama's going down big time and I'm going to be laughing my ass off and open a 25 year old bottle of Scotch to celebrate come Nov. 5th.
