Rove lays the SMACKDOWN on Colmes (Video)

Youtube ^

[Deb]

The Alan Colmes utility response to any reasonable criticism...”Oh, right, blame the Democrats”. That's it. It never changes and is the one thing in nature you can count on.

I don’t know. Kristen is pretty ticked off at the libs right now. Hoping she will see the truth sooner than later. We could really use her on our side. Wishful thinking probably.

So happy to see this thread on that great put-down!

Colmes always seems to toss out something that sounds intelligent — to throw off whomever he is talking to, but it usually comes out shallow and just a pile of words. Few face him so well as Rove did. It was great to see!!

Alan Colmes is an ass. He deserves whatever smackdown he can get. The way he patronized that lady who lived after being aborted made me want to jump through the screen and strangle the man.

On a side note, did anyone see Neil Cavuto lay the smackdown on BOR the other night when BOR went on a rant about gas prices. I thought Neil was gonna reach out and punch the man. I was yelling at the TV, "Go Neil!!!"

I think you have that pegged.

[Salvation]

Saw it last night. Rove was great — he really showed Colmes the door.

[pctech]

I wonder why we can’t have a purely conservative show on Fox each night without the typical liberal dribble we hear from the likes of BOR, Colmes, Sheppard Smith and others. I want nothing but conservative views, nothing else. Is that too much to ask?

I "youtubed" that one as well.

Cavuto smacks down O'Reilly

Hubby and I watched this, as soon as Alan opened his mouth I laughed and said no way can Alan go toe to toe with Rove. I knew he was going to get smacked...it was good watching though- Alan was trying so hard to get in all the talking points and Rove shot them down so easy.

Saw it last night, it was beautiful!

[TigersEye]

Funny stuff. I saw it last night and loved it. Colmes is an embarrassment to whatever planet it is he came from.

Colmes leaves me cold! What a dolt! Rove is the sexiest guy because he is so damn smart and gives a great smackdown every time! I just love the guy! He reminds me of the kid from the Christmas Story (you’ll put your eye out)grown up to look at! He has such a mischiveous look and a twinkle in his eye-he never disappoints! Ladies agree he is sexy because of how smart and right on he always is.

Great video.

Did you do a thread on it?

Too bad it only has a little over a hundred views.

Cavuto did a great job!

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

“Rove showed more aggressive defense of the conservative argument than the entire Bush Administration did in 8 years”

I call it the “Palin Effect”.

Nothing like a pretty girl in the room to turn up the testosterone.

Alan Colmes is an ass. He deserves whatever smackdown he can get. The way he patronized that lady who lived after being aborted made me want to jump through the screen and strangle the man.

I read about that...I would say unbelievable but hardly anything is unbelievable anymore, when it comes to politics.

I'm glad I wasn't there...to quote former Rams quarterback Chris Everett (sorry...Jim), they would have had to "take a station break".

I think my comment on the night of the Gianna interview was, "Alan Colmes is of his father, the devil", and that when he lies, he speaks his native tongue, that there is no good in him, that he is a liar and the father of all lies.

In WWII, the Congressional declarations of war against Japan and Germany actually said

"That the state of war between the United States and the Imperial Government of Japan which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared..."

and

"...the state of war between the United States and the Government of Germany which has thus been thrust upon the United States is hereby formally declared..."

For whatever reason, Congress declared in the case of Iraq that

"The President is authorized to use the Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate in order to

"(1) defend the national security of the United States against the continuing threat posed by Iraq; and

"(2) enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions regarding Iraq."

Declaring that the President can use the armed forces as he see fits, in my mind, exactly equals, in its effects, declaring the existence of a state of war. The COTUS does not prescribe the language (as it does, for instance, in the POTUS Oath of Office).

[Blind Eye Jones]

Thanks for the information. It seems that the left has made every effort to make this war political. They feel secure because they know al Qaeda is not a threat on the level of Germany in WWII. Their argument borders on some legalism in their mind, which shows the luxury of their position — that they feel safe enough to try to embarrass the president in a time of war. This is history in the making. Why Bush tolerates this I'll never know.
