Colmes: Right Shouldn't Complain About 'Conservative' Ahmadinejad's Speech
NewsBusters.org ^

Posted on 09/25/2007 12:05:25 PM PDT by RatherBiased.com

According to Alan Colmes, since evil dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not a liberal, but instead a "conservative," then conservatives in America should not be offended because the Iranian leader received better treatment on a college campus than some of America's conservative political figures, some of whom have been met with attacks with pies or other violence.

Such was the absurd argument suggested by the liberal FNC host during a discussion on Monday's "Hannity and Colmes." Colmes commented to conservative guest/author David Horowitz: "Ahmadinejad's not a liberal. He's a conservative. He's very right wing. He was welcome at Columbia University. You shouldn't be complaining. Phil Donohue, Hillary Clinton, they've been all booed off stages. You don't talk about that." (Transcript follows)

Colmes is brain damaged. Fox intentionally selected a dimwit to make Hannity look smart. (It doesn’t always work).

If we want to really command respect in this world , we will direct a flight of F-18’s to intercept and shoot down Ahmadinejad’s plane in mid Atlantic , claiming full responsibility and announcing that THIS will be the fate of ALL those that sponsor and support terrorism in the world.

What a strange perception of what “right wing” means.

I've also heard Alan say on his radio program that Iraq was better off with Saddam in power.

At least you had running water and electricity to clean up after Saddam chopped off someone's head, huh Alan?

Does this mean Stalin was a liberal Democrat?

Alan Colmes is the Washington Generals for the Harlem Globetrotters (Sean Hanity).

Did Horowitz say anything other than repeating “He’s a radical”?

The American Conservative wants to conserve the freedom under which this country was founded. He is not looking to conserve a 7th century blood thirsty theocracy.

Fox could do better than Colmes to represent the leftwing of the political spectrum. His ‘arguments’ if you can call them that, are neatly summed up in this article.

Very shallow, not based on fact, trivial in nature, and always snarky.

As another poster noted, they should hire Beckel to replace him. The fact of the matter is without Fox News, nobody would have ever heard of Alan Colmes.

That said, his sister in law is HOT.....(chuckle)

It’s true. Iammadjohn is both ultra-right and fundamentalist and fascist, but in an alternate universe.
