Sleep well!

G'Night, Freema, you're the best!

It would sure be nice to get a national apology from them. But, sadly, Alan Colmes has more class than the Ditzes ever will. I think he's from a nicer planet than Algore. The Chicks are probably from some low rent asteroid.

G'Night!!! :-)

[TigersEye]

G'nite, freema. Good FReep everybody.

Welcome and may God bless you and give your family strength during this difficult time.

MR. COLMES, HAVE YOU AT LAST NO SHAME
REMEMBER THE EFFORT WHICH OUSTED SARA LISTER IN 1997
MARINES WERE "TOO EXTREME"--That's why we call them Marines, Ms. Lister.

[StarCMC]

Welcome to FR - you are among FRiends.

[pandoraou812]

Thank goodness.

[lilycicero]

Now that nobody is looking, did you see posts 140 and 141? R.O. strikes again :)

[jazusamo]

What do you mean nobody is looking? :-)

[Convert]

God bless you and your family.
Thank Justin for me.
Tell we are praying for him.

[RaceBannon]

Pleasure to meet yu, miss!!

[lilycicero]

Jaz, it goes without saying that you are always looking because why? Yep...stealth.

Update!

Click on the source link for this thread and you'll see this announcement:

This page was posted on February 11th.
On February 12th,  Alan Colmes apologized on air.

Activism works! Thank you everyone who participated in calling Fox and Alan Colmes to account.

I have written a thank you message to Alan Colmes for doing the decent thing. Others have done likewise.

We did not get everything I hoped for. I wanted to see one of the Haditha Marine family members get airtime.

Our major accomplishment, however, is to let Fox News know that people care about the Haditha Marines. We expect no less than fair treatment.

And I believe family members will get their time on the air as we move closer to the hearing dates.

So thanks again to all for a Freep well done!

Could you kindly add an "[Update at Post 216]" to the title of this thread? Many thanks!

As mentioned, the source webpage has been updated.

[Bigg Red]

Very good. Thanks for the update, and thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention. And please ping me again if a family member does get a chance to go on the show.

This was my letter yesterday to Mr. Colmes:

SUBJECT: Anna Nicole Smith and the Marines Story

Dear Mr Colmes,

The Haditha Marines have not been convicted, nor have they confessed.

You need to retract that statement. There hasn't been a trial yet.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Although you and I are generally on opposite sides of issues, I have for some time appreciated your ability to strongly represent the opposite side. Drives me nuts at times, but your points are presented seriously and, therefore, require serious reflection.

Please balance the record on the Marines.


(I put in Anna Nicole just to get attention. Thought maybe it would cause it to get read. It had nothing to do with the story..... except in the back of my mind: What did Anna Nicole and these Marines have in common? Both were getting scre_ed.)

Count on it, Bigg!
