Slate magazines obituary for longtime Fox News political commentator Alan Colmes is catching considerable backlash on social media.
Alan Colmes, Buffoon and Patsy, Was Fox News Original Liberal Weakling, wrote Slates Isaac Chotiner, a senior staff writer and former editor of The New Republic.
Colmes died this week at the age of 66 due to lymphoma.
Colmes was the most absurd, useless, and mocked television personality in America for many years, precisely because he was nice. In the context of Fox News, being a nice guy and a liberal nice guy at that meant being a buffoon, and a patsy. Colmes not only played the part to perfection he defined it, Chotiner wrote.. . .

That wasn't an obituary. It was a tasteless, cowardly attack on somebody who could not respond. It's telling that the author never had the cujones to say that when Alan Colmes was alive and kicking.

If you didn't know anything else about Isaac Chotiner than this obit he wrote..... you would know he is one incredibly mean-spirited human being.... Shame on Chotiner.... Shame on his Editor.... and shame on the publisher of Slate......

What he wrote was horrible and he should be ashamed but he is NOT a typical liberal

Just wait. Any day now we will see hundreds of Navy Seal libtards, Delta Force libtards, you name it. They will be coming out of the damn woodwork. No one will realize just how many of these real men are libtards. .../s
From the looks of him, I’d say he likes little boys...
ditto
One thing he had was a comedic twist to everything he said that is very rare and could be really annoying to those who were debating him.
I thought for sure he had served in the Marines. But, I find no mention of it. I talked to him several times on his show and brought it up once, his reply was “just ask the question” and I thought Oliver North said he was a Jarhead also.
Do you know anything about that?

Slate Finally Finds the Bottom of the Barrel With Tasteless Alan Colmes Obituary
Ideologues know no other way.
Make your /S capitalized and bold next time. I can’t see like I used to and spent 15 minutes trying to figure out your post :)
No I don’t but he gave as good as he got, this nonsense that he was weak or a pussy is not supported by the facts.
Had me fuming on more than one occasion, but never because he was telling a lie.
Colmes was a “good” “liberal” as far as I could tell. I actually got an email from him once. He had a great sense of humor and could be gracious and hear both sides of an issue which most liberals can never do.
How he could “think” in such an irrational manner is beyond me but since he had no children, I think the obtuse understanding of Natural Laws is understandable. Males having children and watching them reach adulthood is eyeopening-—and matures a person in a rational way which nothing else can.
That is what is missing now in males-—understanding of the Laws of Nature and Nature’s God (Common Sense) which our Founders so thoroughly realized because they had to work hard for everything they ever received and fight for it. No embedded self-worth and superiority but true intellectual growth from Classical curricula and work and dealings in the real world. They knew that tyranny was only one regulation away. Comes didn’t understand Reality and History like the Founders. Given another 20 years (with children) he may have become another Hannity..
LOL! Oh, yes he is. Same smarmy tone of condescension they use against anyone who isn't fully on board with The Revolution.
Thanks.
