I’m pretty darn sure 90% of the people in America WILL think that’s crazy.
Well, as an Irish-Catholic, I can remember how so many of people during my childhood thought it was weird that we had wakes with the dead body on display. We didn’t think anything of it; in fact, it made us very aware of life and death.
You would be wrong. I suppose you think funerals in funeral parlors have always been the case. That would be wrong. Funerals for the deceased have historically been held in the home. I am betting you are one of those that walks into a funeral home, takes a 1 second look, and scatters like a rat back to your home. I am also betting that as a young boy or girl, nobody that loved you said it was ok to touch the hand of a favored aunt or uncle or even mother/father/brother sister in the coffin did they. You are in the minority buddy and probably the saddest minority. I am betting you have yet to lose a single loved one.

Do you/we know that was the case or was the event taken out of context and embellished by the MSM as they are wont to do?

“I’m pretty darn sure 90% of the people in America WILL think that’s crazy.”
Yep.
And it’s the type of thing that will form the “whispered” narrative is he was the nominee. Urban legends of what other out of the ordinary things they do over at his house.
First, did that really happen?
“...PLAYED WITH IT for a couple of hours so his other children would know that the child was real.”
I don’t believe it.
If not true, then Colmes should have his POLITICAL balls cutoff...
My wife miscarried with our third child during the third month of her pregnancy, we went to the hospital and carried the three month old fetus to the hospital in a plastic container so they could determine what was the cause of the miscarriage.
Colmes is, to use the liberals’ ultimates insult, an latent homosexual.
I agree 90% of America will think the mocking of a dead baby is weird.
To play with the child would be crazy. To greave privately as a family, spend time in prayer, and comfort one another would not be. Colmes was unkind to use his words in such a way.
Watch Colmes FOX clip and the Santorum clips (#41).

Take a course in critical thinking while you are at it.
I’m pretty darn sure 90% of the people in America will say you're wrong.
What? Leave a cherished baby's corpse in the the hospital utility room for pick-up as if it were trash? As mother of four I would take that baby home, wash it, and dress it myself, and if legally possible the wake would be in the home and the funeral from my home.
I think ‘Play” was Colmes’ word- I feel pretty certain they were not having any fun and games that day.
My son died at birth 10 years ago. My wife and i held him and dressed him. We took his photo. It definitely helped my wife and I in our mourning. My girls were too young to know what was going on except that there was a great sadness. They weren’t at the hospital but they new the baby was gone when mom came home and they cried. I wished at the time they could have held the brother they had talked and sang to in the womb.
I have attended services in foriegn countries as well and while I didn’t understand all the customs I knew enough to respect another’s choices in how they chose to grieve.
IF people in the US have gotten to the point that they can no longer respect even how another grieves then we are far further gone than I had even imagined was possible. Bar the door, take a swig, and bear down hard because if that is where we are the pain coming is going to be far beyond what most can tolerate.
