Colmes, Robinson, and Weirdness
The Corner - National Review | 1-9-12 | Peter Kirsanaw

Posted on 01/09/2012 8:16:19 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

As Mark Steyn notes on the homepage, certain pundits who praise liberal politicians for their purported empathy have derided the Santorums for taking home their infant son Gabriel, who had died two hours after birth. Eugene Robinson, for example, said Rick Santorum is “not a little weird, he’s really weird.”

I don’t recall these pundits making any similar comments about Barack Obama’s opposition to the Illinois state version of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act (BAIPA). The act was introduced in the Illinois state legislature to require that babies who survived botched abortions would be provided care in the same manner as any other infant born alive (evidence had been introduced that babies who had survived unsuccessful abortions were left alone on shelves and receptacles in utility closets until they died). Not one U.S. senator — not Boxer, Schumer, nor Clinton — voted against the federal version. Even NARAL didn’t oppose it. State senator Obama not only voted against the state version but worked to kill it in committee.

A number of adjectives come to mind to describe Obama’s actions regarding BAIPA. “Weird” is the most charitable.

Yet these same pundits leveled absolutely no derision toward the empathetic agent of hope and change. An insight, perhaps, into their world view.

Maybe it’s just me but there are a few Fox contributors I simply MUST ‘mute’:
Colmes,
Shamoo Greene,
Ellen Ratner,
Beckel,
Juan Williams.
There I think that’s it.

The media think everyone who doesn't share their perverted worldwview are weird. The questions during the NH debate are proof enough of that.

The question is how long will republicans allow the MSM to lead them around by the nose?

Here Here! What a horses Ass Ellen Ratner is. So sanctimonious. How possibly could she be taken seriously. Being born to the Ratner Family of Forest City Ent. is a great gig if you can get it.

Ratner sold her soul and that of her entire family to Satan years ago. She is evil and will go to hell. She has so much blood on her hands== for the lies and evil she has endorsed and blood money she has pocketed to promote and support and normalize evil.

Ah, Democrat Family Values: Letting your kids say goodbye to their deceased brother [you know, seeing the body like in every flippin wake I`ve ever gone to] = weird. Killing a baby and shredding its body by jamming a machine into his or her mother = Perfectly normal! Should be celebrated as an expression of our wonderful diverse culture!

I swear if I ever see Alan Colmes in the street I`ll spit on him. What a piece of despicable garbage. I`d do the same with Robinson except he`s such a nobody I wouldn`t know him.

BTW, Alan and Eugene, let`s have your opinions on the weirdness quotient of how Muslims treat their dead children. Well, of course, you can`t, not much left after they blow themselves up...weird...

Alan Colmes looks pretty dead any time I’ve ever seen him on Fox News, yet they keep him around, how sick is that? Every time I’ve seen him it’s like a rerun of Weekend at Bernies...I think they dust him off and spray him with Armor All once in a while, comb the maggots out of his hair...good to go!

I don’t like her either but final disposition of her case will not be our call.
