I sent the following letter to FOX:
I have watched and listened to Alan Colmes and his mindless
rehashing of liberal talking points ever since he was Sean Hannity’s
co-host. I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with any of his positions, but
his recent comment regarding Rick Santorum’s “taking
his dead baby home to play with” is so beyond the pale
that I am now wondering if the protections afforded by
the First Amendment should apply to him.
Like most conservatives, I watch FOX as the only
sane alternative to the networks, CNN and MSNBC.
And I understand that in order to remain “fair and balanced,”
you feel obligated to provide a forum to which allows
liberals and conservatives to debate issues. All well and good,
unless the liberals you choose are so vitriolic, so hateful,
and so venomous that they do not deserve air time.
I am joining the swelling ranks of thinking Americans who
will be boycotting your station until you sever all ties with
that disgusting creature. The next time I see him on your network
will be the last time I watch your network. I now get 95% of my
information from the Internet. I can easily make it 100%.
WOW, that was fantastic, Truthy! good for you. That letter was perfect.
As I see it, the trouble with Colmes is that he is not even egregious. He still fits squarely in the Democrat fold. How bad must the education system have become for anyone to agree with him?
What is it with those dems.......the more off the wall crazy they get the more they resemble a snake head.....Alan just keeps getting uglier. I usually see him on BORe with his SIL. She seems to cut him off before he digs in too deep.
I agree with all of your points except for the First Amendment comment, since the government protections of free speech don’t seem to have anything to do with his outrageous vitriol. I tried arguing that with the spouse just now, saying the FCC is under the govt. umbrella and how quickly something would have happened if someone had said the same thing about a prominent democrat.
Nicely done Truthy - could you add that fat tub of lard from The Five to that letter? Beckel and his constant reminders of his wild life of sex and drugs makes me so ill.
