Though Colmes identifies himself as a liberal and has even written a book about the supremacy of liberal politics,<ref>Red, White & Liberal: How Left is Right and Right is Wrong (ISBN 0-06-056297-8)</ref> he was perceived by many as a conservative "quisling" and as a "milquetoast" strawman, on his own cable show, for allowing Hannity to regularly talk over Colmes and generally disparage liberal thought, without adequate recourse from the liberal perspective.
