Remember when Alan Colmes and Ron Paul used to drive Sean Hannity crazy? – Rare.us

When it was announced that Fox News liberal pundit Alan Colmes passed away on Thursday, I couldnt help but recall one of my all-time favorite memories of him.

The scene was the 2008 election. Congressman Ron Pauls presidential campaign had begun to gather significant grassroots momentum, and the Republicans libertarian brand irritated not only most of the GOP which then was still staunchlyin the Bush-Cheney Iraq War defense mode but Pauls growing popularity seemed to get under the skin of Sean Hannity.

Especially when Paul kept winning Fox News presidential polls, something Colmes would reportwith a tinge of glee.

The more this irritated Hannity, the more Colmes seemed amused by it. See for yourself in the short clip below:

Here we go again, Hannity says in the clip, talking over Colmes, Its driving me crazy.

In a separate segment, Colmes continued to report that Paul is winning and Hannity protested, Wait, wait, wait, you know what? Theyre redialing by the second.

Was Hannity saying that Fox News own poll,his poll, in a sense, was rigged and of no value?

When the three menshared the television screenduring the election, it was often liberal Colmes who waswarm to Pauls antiwar views to Hannitys chagrin.

Regardless, Ron Paul always seemed amused by Hannitys antipathy toward him, but Hannitys longtime friend, Colmes, perhaps even more so.

Its like a part of me left today, Hannity said on Thursday of his friends death. Its been a really tough day.

RIP Alan Colmes, and thanks for the memories.
