Colmes: Right Shouldn't Complain About 'Conservative' Ahmadinejad's Speech

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)

At my house he is referred to as either “Fire Marshall Bill” or “The Crypt Keeper”.

[OESY]

Four Proofs (of sorts):

Columbia does not allow conservatives to speak.
Columbia invited Ahmadinejad to speak.
Ahmadinejad is not a conservative.

Conservatives want to bomb Ahmadinejad's nuclear facilities.
Liberals want to protect Iran and sing kumbaya with Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad is a liberal.

Liberals hate conservatives.
Conservatives hate Ahmadinejad.
Ahmadinejad loves liberals.

Colmes loves himself.
Liberals love themselves.
Colmes is a liberal.

I’ve never thought of Bob as “smarmy”.
From what I’ve seen, he’s very well-versed on his agenda and even shows a sense of humor. That’s very uncharacteristic of The Left, so I’ll cut him some slack.

[Nowhere Man]

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.

I'd be happy if Ahmadinejad was "sleeping with the fishes" in a 1967 Oldsmobile trunk in the Hudson River or bunking next door to Jimmy Hoffa, but point taken. He doesn't belong here and if I was President, I'd do what you said or at the very least have him arrested by New York's Finest.

Alan Colmes may be a commie retard who looks like Admiral Ackbar from Star Wars, but he’s never been caught paying a hooker with a check.

Ackbar...

Or the Cryptkeeper?

[Christian4Bush]

Liberal pundits and politicians just can’t escape the fact that terrorist Osma bin Laden and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sound just like them! Repeating the Democrat Talking Points without missing a beat!

New composite name: Mahmoud Ahmademocrat!

[Christian4Bush]

I’m often suprised that Colmes doesn’t return after commercial wearing a black eye from some guest he insulted.

As am I.

[ozzymandus]

Actually, I hate that thug beckel worse than colmes. At least colmes doesn’t try to physically threaten people, and he doesn’t make excuses and claim to be “born again” like beckel does.

[ozzymandus]

I couldn’t be a guest on that show, because I’d punch colmes lights out and get arrested the first time he insulted me or lied to my face.

Some pretty woman are enamoured of ‘celebrities’ no matter if its positive, or infamous....

[Badeye]

Not familiar with her, so I can’t say.

I thought Skeletor was reasonable. But maybe he’s still clouded by his liberalism.

[the OlLine Rebel]

People think - quite logically - that “right” is opposed to “left” on a linear chart.

The bad thing is they think “fascism” is the OPPOSITE of “communism” (at least, since Hitler “dissed” Stalin - but not before). Hence, since it was well-established that communism was “left wing”, then the commies decided the “right wing” had to be “fascist” - why they call us “fascists”.

But fascism is a step to communism. It is not AT ALL opposite, but close to communism. Anarchy is the opposite. Somewhere closer to anarchy would be libertarianism. Which is much closer to where we are.

Imindeedajerk is much more a fascist than a freedom-lover, so he is actually closer to the left wing, and thus, what we’d call in the US, a liberal.
