How will you remember Alan Colmes? Hopefully better than the people at Slate

[NYcarbineer]

They eat their dead. Didn't you know?

Oh yes, I know. I've been quite aware of it for some time now. But perhaps my thread here will awaken some on the left about the vultures on their side. It sort of takes me back to the Paul Wellstone funeral. Seems the left are heartless about death unless it involves executing a murderer.

Lol. I remember that clip. The phony-assed Clinton's in a nutshell.

I think it's hilarious when people defend these two as the honest, wrongly persecuted public servants, and just think "well, there's an idiot"....

Maybe it's just us on the right, but there's a time to put politics away and deal with people as human beings, or at the very least, as fellow Americans. It's the left that looks at anybody who disagrees with them as mortal enemies until death......or even past death.

I love politics and take it seriously, but never to the point of pure hatred.

I agree. I actually liked colmes and have said as much in other threads.

We've gotten so divided that even a show of some amount of respect for someone that doesn't agree with our politics 100% is grounds for total vilification.

Even death is now political.

See: Obama: Thatcher funeral.

The left has this obsession with attacking the dead. Whether it's making movies against Republican Presidents after they're gone, attacking one of their own because they were not left enough for them, or even taxing dead people, it's some sort of weird hangup with those people.

You found ONE guy who 'attacked' Colmes. There are more RW'ers HERE in the past few days that attacked Colmes after he died.

What is wrong with you?

While our elected officials tote 20 dollars per hour is a good wage, they laugh behind their backs. Then they expect us to be good little patriots. Not going to happen because anyone with half a brain knows what a joke this is. Comes wasn't afraid to point this out at times.

This country is for the uber wealthy. They call the shots for themselves. Alan knew this.

The "inclusive" party excluding it's own.

Really, it's mind-boggling, and telling, to me that they pride themselves on being inclusive to anyone and everything but will shoot their own square between the eyes if they do not toe the party line like an animatronic donkey.

To be fair, though, I've seen pubs do it also.

And here's the rub, all of this talk of diversity, inclusion, acceptance blah, blah, blah making us better, and they don't stop for a second to consider the possibility that this should, and to some extent must, include members of opposing political views or, at the very least, moderate members of their own party.

The cognitive dissonance required to pull that mind bender off is amazing.

There has been more than "one guy" on the left dumping on Colmes post mortem. There have been libs on this board parroting this viewpoint as well....

Yes, as many cable news TV viewers mourn the loss of Alan Colmes, it seems the liberal talking heads at Slate have no mercy. They published a less than complimentary article on the late Mr. Colmes referring to him as a buffoon and patsy.

Usually I enjoy watching Democrats attack their own, but only when they have the ability to fight back. Colmes often brought the liberal point of view to the table in a decent and adult way. I guess that's why hard left people like Slate despised him. So just a few quotes from the Slate article:

"Colmes was the most absurd, useless, and mocked television personality in America for many years, precisely because he was nice. In the context of Fox News, being a nice guy—and a "liberal" nice guy at that—meant being a buffoon, and a patsy. Colmes not only played the part to perfection—he defined it."

"I wrote that Colmes was a nice guy, and we should all be able to separate the personal from the political, and the personal from the professional, etc., etc., etc. But while Colmes may not have been a genius, he wasn't a complete moron either; in short, he was smart enough to know he was being used, and to take the money that his services demanded. If this is something less than morally reprehensible, it is still pretty gross. We can mourn that Alan Colmes won't be around to watch the political era he, as an important cog in the Fox News machine, helped usher in; unfortunately, the rest of us have no choice."

To think some on the left get their political information from sources like this. Deplorable.

Liberal News Site Publishes Obituary Attacking Alan Colmes

No question Colmes was a decent man and it is sad he died before his time

But at the time of someone's death it is appropriate to examine their life. Colmes made his career as the "token liberal" at Fox News. He acted as straight man to set up Conservative rants. Someone described him as The Washington Generals of Fox. There to give up easy lay ups while giving the appearance of legitimate competition

 

[Freewill]

lol, so apparently according to the OP et al,

it was politically incorrect for this whoever he was at Slate to be brutally honest about his view of Colmes.

Gee, I thought Trump had normalized political incorrectness. I thought you people LOVED political incorrectness now.

Once again you try and twist things into something they are not.

The discussion isn't about PC it is about whether or not Slate is correct in what they published and would they do the same to other blacks.

This is absolutely political correctness from the OP and those agreeing with him. You're attacking someone who said something that you consider offensive. You're saying that he should be PC and not say such offensive things.

See post 46. Lol. I've also seen other definite libs, such as joeB, talking the same shit. I could go through the existing threads on this, then again so can you.

Can you prove "it was only one guy"? If that hair splitting nonsense is all you've got your gun isn't loaded.

 

[NYcarbineer]

It doesn't take long to recall how RW'ers really felt about Colmes when he was breathing:

One example: alan colmes the new bottomfeeder...
