What I Said And What I Did Not Say
First, what I did not say. I did not say that Sarah Palin caused her child to have Down Syndrome because of her choices. I have received comment after comment and received thousands of emails about this because of right-wing sites who have lied about my initial post, a screen grab of which is here. It may be convenient for those with their own agendas, or those who just hate liberals to make the case that I said something horrible about Sarah Palin, to feed the narrative that the evil, horrible left wing is attacking a conservative woman. I don’t do ad hominem attacks. It’s not my style. And I usually let my work speak for itself.
What I did say was that it’s fair to question a person’s judgment if that person is seeking to be Vice President of the United States, just as the judgment of the Obama/Biden ticket has been heavily questioned. And part of that question of judgment has to do with life decisions that candidates make. In the case of Sarah Palin, it had to do with a choice to give a speech and then board a flight after contractions began and water began to break in the last month of pregnancy with her fifth child.
Those who claim that I drew a parallel between those decisions and her child being born with Down Syndrome either didn’t read what I wrote or purposely lied about it to satisfy their own agendas. Even after I posted a clarification and took responsibiliy for possibly not being clear enough in my original post I am still getting vicious comments and hate mail from those who believe I should be silenced, fired and even shot.
To those who are purposely maligning me for whatever reason, let’s make a deal: You don’t lie about me, and I won’t tell the truth about you.
The people spreading these claims about you are liars, pure and simple. Their lies are much more of a reflection upon THEM than upon you.

Alan -
You just took the “dumbass” spotlight off that other moron on Fox News, Morton Krondracke. You bottom feeding scums never change.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:37 pm
Rather than the “screen grab”, why didn’t you just leave the entire post for all to read? You got what you wanted – a reaction – but I don’t think you realized the impact of such an utterly outrageous and reckless claim. Regardless of what you directly said, you clearly implied that her choices impacted the health of her baby. You are a complete disgrace.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:39 pm
Oh Alan, shame on you. You’re an adult and smart. You are a liar. You were trying to malign Palin. If you weren’t why did you take down that garbage? Shame on you. Don’t let the hate cloud you. I really do enjoy you with Sean every night but really, now, you’re just another boob that let hatred cloud your soul. Sorry but you wouldn’t have taken that post down otherwise.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:40 pm
I think we’re personally maligning you because you’re an idiot. And you keep spinning, spinning, spinning. We did read what you wrote – specifically
“The idea that you can’t question Sarah Palin’s judgment because she has a Down Syndrome baby….”.
So, let’s see – you write about her negligence in prenatal care – did you speak with her Doctor before posting that – no, I thought not. Then you talk about being able to question her judgment because she has a down’s baby – what the hell does THAT mean? Of course, we all know we wouldn’t be allowed to question her judgment if she had elected to abort a Down’s baby – right?
You’re a vile, shallow little man who has relegated himself to the realm of the irrelevant – enjoy the stay.
Despite your “snappy” final line – we don’t have to lie about you. The truth is odious and revealing enough.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Cheryl, read Alan’s comments and weep. You and the rest of the rightwingnuts should be ashamed of yourselves. Right now you have Palin trying to get in the White House. Sweety, she can’t even take care of what’s going on in her own home. How do you expect her to take care of the White House?
September 1st, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Spin, spin, spin, Alan.
What does your Women’s Studies professor wife have to say about you inserting yourself into the relationship between a pregnant woman and her doctor. Don’t you abortion supporters consider that space sacred? Or is that only when the space is filled by a suction machine for killing the baby?
Be a man — admit you were wrong.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
It’s about judgement, stupid.
Judgement, integrity, and respectability… all of which were lacking in your original post as well as your second.
Can’t take the heat, pause before hitting the submit button.
Back away from the keyboard.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Fair enough in your rebuttle! Lets agree to disagree. You are to the left and I am to the right. She made the judgment as a mother that is hers to make. Just like Obama has had to sleep in the bed he has made with his judgment with J. Wright, W. Ayers, T Resko, Father Pfleger and the Chicago crime machine. Oh and do not blame in on Right Blogs. Be specific on what you comment on from the beginning and you will not have to back track, say you Mis-Spoke or like your man Obama say that we just did not listen to him or understand him.

September 1st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Alan, you took the posting down to avoid people’s comments? Really? As I’m sure you know, comments in blog posts can be turned OFF. They can also be easily managed from within your blog admin (if not, then maybe you should join the 21st century and get a better blog). So if your feelings were hurt by some big ‘ole bully’s WORDS, you could actually just delete the comments without trying to hide your shameful posting by outright deleting it.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:49 pm
Thanks for your comments, Trace. Incidentally, I am an independent and I am pro-choice. I didn’t make a comment on Palin’s readiness for office; or her ability to take care of her own house. In fact, I didn’t make a political comment at all. I commented on Alan’s clearly uninformed views about the impact of prenatal care and how the health of a baby is impacted.
September 1st, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Alan: Honestly. Give it up. Your comment that you made about Sarah Palin has blown up in your face. You have now found yourself in dangerous waters, and what you need to do is apologize, for poking your nose where it doesn’t belong, and hopefully what you said will never reach the MSM. If it does, you are toast.
If indeed that is what you were doing, questioning her judgement, there is a whole bunch of other ways you could have picked than this one, for Pete’s sake.

As usual, Alan, you have to twist yourself into a pretzel to explain your position. Fortunately for this country, the pendulum seems to be singing back away from the liberal views, the abortion rights, gay marriage, second ammendment hating and school prayer banning nonsense that you and your ‘progressive’ pals have been voicing for far too long. Thank GOD!

September 1st, 2008 at 2:59 pm
Fact of the matter is that Palin, having had four children already, should maybe have just kept her legs shut. I mean ffs, it’s not a new discovery that women over forty years old put the potential child at great risk of birth defects.
She should have shown better judgement.

Not ever.
Did I mention I never worry about you telling the truth?
Just in case you missed it, I don’t ever worry about it.
Okay?
Now, with that out of the way…It would have helped everyone get your story straight about knocking Palin’s judgment if you hadn’t o so bravely DELETED your post. And then, when you o so bravely reproduced it, it wasn’t legible.
Now you snivel over people distorting your POV?
Snark.
Do me a great big favor and DON’T DISTORT IT YOURSELF.
‘Course, if it weren’t so vulgar and brain dead, you wouldn’t have had to run from it in the first place.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Alan,
Today is the first time I have peeked at your blog. Your whole blog is innuendo painting. Many of your front page posts are trying to paint a story – just like this one that has blown up in your face. If you have any class at all your next one would be an apology for your poor judgment in using this subject as your valid issue of judgment. BUT to prove the point you are grasping at straws and this straw is way beyond decency. You should have some shame over bringing it up and you DO owe an apology.

Gee, Allen- It seems to be a matter of medical opinion, I guess. I was told when my water broke that infection becomes a concern after 12 hours. I stayed at home until 11 hours later as my doctor instructed me to do. Good grief, are you liberals so threatened and desperate that this is the best you can do? It is a non-issue and a moot argument at best.
Sarah Palin decided to keep her Down’s syndrome baby and rear him without government help. Get over it. She’s a true modern woman, who not only believes that women can do it all– she’s living proof. And she’s a Republican to boot! That’s what is really getting to all you lefties!! LOL
September 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Palin showed “POOR” judgment when she caught that 12 hour flight back to Alaska. Perhaps she wanted her baby born on that fight without the care of doctors/nurses. What do you think would have happened to that poor child had it been born? Did she want it to die without care? You be the judge.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Doncha just love it when a guy goes rooting around to come up with an explanation of what women ought to be doing in terms of prenatal care? And when the ones who say they promote womens rights are always looking for reasons to keep them down and out of the picture and off the scene? And when they say ‘lay off the family’ and then scrounge for stories on their inlaws and kids?
Uh, Alan – we dont have to wait until we are postmenopausal to get involved.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:10 pm
You posed the question “Did Palin take proper pre-natal care”. By quoting the Sacramento obstetrician who apparently said that in such cases, a woman should go right to the hospital – the implication of your piece is that Governor Palin did not take proper pre-natal care.
But that is hardly a question which you have either the right or the expertise to ask. As you also noted in your comment – Governor Palin did consult by phone with her doctor.
Unless you have a good reason to believe that Governor Palin took some action which was contrary to what she was advised by her doctor following the telephonic consultation – your piece is totally out of order.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Let’s be clear folks- the “Cheryl” above is NOT me.
Conservatives CHOSE to make a connection that wasn’t there, and then attacked Alan for it. And then assumed that everyone defending the post was a “libtard”. I’m a moderate. Alan draws fans from all ends of the spectrum because he always makes the effort to report the news fairly.
I’ve called Alan out every time he’s done or said something that I disagree with, and this was NOT one of those occasions. You people are criticizing him for reporting NEWS that is reported by other political pundits. Why is his reporting so distasteful? For no other reason than that he is a LIBERAL. That’s it. The same post could’ve appeared on Hannity’s, Malkin, or Limbaugh’s site, and you all would’ve calmly DEBATED the issue- which is the purpose of this blog, to debate the issues together- rather than launching into attacks.
All of you are throwing big ass stones from a tiny glass house.

You may have not said it directly Alan but the implication was clear. Now get off your high horse and just apologize for the misconceived smear you attempted. It didn’t work just as your twisting and turning with attempts as spin aren’t working. We know the truth, it’s how you work, innuendo is your friend.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I bet this is the most action this blog has ever had. Alan continues to show that he is an idiot.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:14 pm
Mr. Colmes:
You missed the poinjt in your clarification. The baby experienced a normal birth. Thus her judgment was vindicated. If the baby had been born septic, then you could maybe say something. But your post was merely a desparate effort at defamation. Obama used cocaine, Biden is a plagiarist and a draft dodger, McCain owns too many houses, and Palin kept working after her water broke. So what. No one’s perfect. (well there was this guy once, but you know how that ended.)
September 1st, 2008 at 3:15 pm
Don’t bullshit Cheryl Carroll… libs were milking a local Alaskan blog looking for a smear and spinning it at Democratic Underground and KOS … Rogers Cadenheads little maligning post was just the tip of the iceberg.

September 1st, 2008 at 3:16 pm
Alan:
It doesn’t matter what you’ve said. These people hated you anyway and your post gave them an excuse to malign you indefinitely. This was the red meat they were looking for. Please don’t despair. There are many who know you to be a fair and honest person.
Peace.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:18 pm
You are disgusting. Had anyone said anything similar about Mrs. Obama you would have gone berzerk.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:18 pm
The fact of the matter is Palin is not ready to lead. She failed as a mother. She failed her state. McCain didn’t think it through when he put her in the mix.

How’s it feel? It must be nice to sit high and mighty and tell the little people of the world what to think and how we are supposed to live while you live like a little Nobleman.

One more thing…I tried to post this earlier on another thread but I think your site is little “busy” these days.
So this is what has become of the “liberal” “progressive” media types Alan? Your trashing Down’s Syndrome babies. You’re judging women’s pre-natal and labor and delivery decisions. You’re attacking a 17 year old girl about her pregnancy decisions. Are you sure your not a right wing attack machine? I guess when Barry Obama and his Chicago thugs took over the party they brought a new “misogynist” plank to the DNC platform. Good luck with your loser, empty suit candidate Barry Soretoro Obama.

You are the one that said “bring it on”, so we’re bringing it. To start, we’ll definitely contact Roger Ailes and co. to see why someone who preaches this type of misogyny should get a paycheck. We’ll also look into you and your family’s history since this is now apparently fair game.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:25 pm
Just like Obama. Alan won’t apologize. I don’t think he’s capable of apologizing. Arrogance is like that, narcisissm too.

What you don’t seem to get is that a woman’s pregnancy is none of your business. She had four children before this one, she understands her own body and how to have babies, and you’ve never even had one. Then you try to blame your intrusive and chauvenistic behavior into the most personal aspect of her life and body on women who notice??? This is pathetic and YOU CANNOT CONTROL US WITH THIS GARBAGE. You and those posers at that Alantic Monthly and the Daily Kos, get real or get lost. You think we’re stupid, think again. And if you are married to some hypochondriac who can’t even blow her nose without a doctor’s prescription, that is not Gov Palin’s problem or mine.

Both Andrew Sullivan and Alan Colmes did the exact same thing – they disseminated attacks so vile and idiotic they would never dare put their own names behind them. They used their platforms, platforms that lunatics who come up with such crackpottery typically lack, to get the attacks much more attention than they originally would have received.
*snip*
“Colmes and Sullivan did the exact same thing in another regard. Both men, in eagerly publicizing crackpot theories, showed the boundless desperation and ugliness that Sarah Palin will face. If ever there were examples of “kitchen sink” political tactics, the blogging efforts today of Sullivan and Colmes provide them.
And both men have provided early returns on our question, “How low will the left go?”

So far Alan has commented on the timing of her marriage, when she has sex, the circumstances of her air travel, the handicap of her child and the burdon that must be for her work, and now the pregancy of her daughter..
Also, plastering pictures of her minor childern over and over and over.

Alan – I am a somewhat frequest listener of Hannity and Colmes. However, I could hardly believe you would have said Palin caused the Downs Syndrome by neglect. I have heard you say (what I thought to be) dumb, immnture comments. Some are almost inaudable as you mumble when someone else is talking.
If you were missunderstood that is unfortunate. I can only immagine that if Palin had aborted her Downs Syndrome baby, you would have jumped for joy in celebration of a courageous aborting Mother. Choose LIFE. You wouldn’t have been in this pickle.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:34 pm
Alan, You title says it all !
” Did Palin Take Proper Pre-Nadle Care?”
This question insinuates to the reader that there is a pobability that there is a corralation between pre-nadle care and Downsyndrom. Downsyndrome occurs at the time of conception.
How clever you are to disguse your intent by illuminating the time she gave a speach and then her water broke.
I do believe she had all percausions taken care of when she made that speech. She had plans in place and was prepared. You cannot mask your intent!
September 1st, 2008 at 3:36 pm
Alan,
I disapointed. If you stand by your story why was it removed? Obama has clearly said family is off limits! Your blog sets back any progress we have made towards change. This is not change we can belive in, it is clearly more of the same.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Alan….
So what say you that Obama is the product of an unwed teen mother; pregnant by a married man? Tread lightly; very lightly. I can only pray Sean has some words for you on the next H&C yet somehow he has much more class and intelligance than you ever could. You are so off base on that show 90% of the time I don’t know why you are still on it. Hopefully not for much longer.
Good luck with your spinning….
September 1st, 2008 at 3:37 pm
It looks like a lot of liberals are just desperate, because she had her child with a handicap and didn’t kill it, which is the ONLY women’s right they seem to care about. This proves it, IN SPADES. GAH!!! I can’t believe you people. You are imploding in front of our eyes with your own hypocrisy and greed for power. Even Sen. Obama told you off, why don’t you listen to him, or do you think he is just another one of your bootlicking lackies, too???
Well, I’m not.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:37 pm
People like Alan Combs who himself looks as though he is plus/minus a few chromisomes need to get a life. Fact is the Combs picking on this is no different that the Hannity saying B-Ho is unworthy of office because of the color of his skin.
You take about a error in judgment, how about membership in Wrights church of hate or friendships with US terrorists like Ayers.
Combs should be ashamed of himself….I SAY FOX NEWS….FIRE ALAN COMBS NOW!
September 1st, 2008 at 3:37 pm
Alan, I’ve often wondered how much money Fox has to pay you to be so Stoopid (yup, that’s with a big “S” and two little o’s). It’s not just that you’re a liberal; it just that what you’re spouting can NEVER pass the “dumb” test. It doesn’t even make sense.
It’s got to rankle that Rush predicted this would happen.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Who the heck are you to judge what a woman should and shouldn’t do once her water breaks and/or contractions begin? When was the last time you had contractions and/or had your water break? At least be consitent man! You’ve always said hand’s off a woman’s right to her own body…well that includes what’s happening around a birth process. After 4 children, I think Gov. Palin was in a far better position than you to decide how close she was to birth. There are plenty of woman who actually know where they are in the process JUDGING (there’s that word) the frequency and strength of contractions. Face it, you tried to smear Gov. Palin’s judgement for political gain, and in the process, questioned the right of all women to JUDGE what’s going on with their own damn body!
September 1st, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Okay… let’s stop beating a dead horse and debate.

September 1st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Funny, I thought you libs were all about a womans right to handle a pregnancy in any way she sees fit. It’s your sick logic that a partial birth abortion would be okay, but a mother that wants to deliver her special needs baby in her home state, attended by her own physician, in the company of her family shows questionable judgement.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
I lost ANY repect I may have had for you Alan. Trying to weasel out of this is expected but, what you said and implied was very clear to an educated person such as I.
You used to be at the very least, somewhat objective, distancing yourself from the Olbermann’s and Matthew’s and Huffington’s of the world. Not any more. That was as low as you could have gone and you got caught.
The more you try and weasel out of this, the bigger the hole becomes for you. Shame on you Alan. You crossed the line with this one. I thought you might be above this and feel bad for Sean now.
At least be honest and not insult our intelligence. Try to embrace character and integrity rather than backpedaling. At the very least, you may re-capture any respect you once had from Conservatives.

I have watched you as of late on the H&C show, lose all sense of what this election is about, and mostly a sense of yourself. You seem to have taken this on as personal vendetta, behaving in a way that is just plain irresponsible in front of the American public. I believe you need to re-think how you are presenting yourself, and FOX needs to re-think whether or not you can still remain “Fair and balanced”.

Alan’s gay? Huh, who knew? I’m shocked!
September 1st, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Look what the Press and MSM did to Hillary Clinton (it was so outragous it made me into a Hillary defender).
Just imagine what they’re going to do to a Republican.
If you folks don’t stand up to this, it will only get worse.. right now it’s just Day 3.. just wait till they get their hands on more.
The Left will have no mercy on any woman who gets in their way.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Hey Alan,
Usually I hold a certain level of respect for you. As illinformed as you usually are, you almost always present your argument clearly and respectfully. With that being said, IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHAT SHE DOES DURING HER PREGNANCY. IT’S HER BODY!!!!! Oh, yeah, I guess I don’t need to shout huh? Wait, I thought that you Libs believe that as well. So, if you DO believe that, then why would you even post something about her prenatal care? It’s not like it was a baby while it was inside her. It only became a person once it was born, right? So, who cares if she had proper prenatal care, smoked crack or drank a fifth of vodka a day? It’s funny how that when you can attack a Repub, you will abandon your anti-fetus principles and act like a guardian angel for the unborn.

sounds like i hit a nerve.its okay just put your tinfoil hat on and click over to the kos where you get your talking points.try thinking of a response without swearing i know that is hard with your IQ.just remember your messiah did cocaine and dealt cocaine.obama’s claim to fame is being half negro.if he was white he would not get the time of day.enjoy
September 1st, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Alan,
Good god man! Drop the shovel, stop digging. It was very evident what you were trying to do with that smear. No need to talk down to us, dude you’re busted. Step away from the key board. Go on a picnic. Try apologizing again tomorrow when you are fresh. There is more to life than politics. I really feel sorry for you.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
By the way Alan what is this THREAT supposed to mean?
To those who are purposely maligning me for whatever reason, let’s make a deal: You don’t lie about me, and I won’t tell the truth about you.
What is this TRUTH you’re going to tell about me Alan? You don’t know me. I’m a woman, a mom of a special needs child, a teacher and a life long Democrat. What are you going to expose? Is that what you mean by “Bring it on”? You’re going to attack people who disagree with your misogynist posts? Sick.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Wow Alan….so are you so inept to think that an infection during birth is what causes Downs? Even with proper pre-natal care ya moron, women of advanced maternal age have a higher risk of having a child with downs or chromosomal issues. NOT from a complicated birth. Even with the BEST pre-natal care Downs is hard to avoid and it’s not like you get to choose. Sarah DID choose to keep her child with the knowledge he would be born with special needs.
Keep spinning and try to bury this rebuttle post to page 2….you’re almost there.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:56 pm
LOL…..Alan: I didn’t mean it, I didn’t nean it!
Then why did you commit the most vile faux pas there is by deleting a blog post? Pansy.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:56 pm
Alan
In addition to being an objective news pundant, I did not know that you had a medical deagree -and are able to provide a second opinion on pregnancy prognosis!!!
Stick to the pundant role –and let women obtain advice from their physicians.

“Cheryl, read Alan’s comments and weep. You and the rest of the rightwingnuts should be ashamed of yourselves. Right now you have Palin trying to get in the White House. Sweety, she can’t even take care of what’s going on in her own home. How do you expect her to take care of the White House?”
And Hillary Clinton is a shining example of being able to “take care of the White House” too? Idiot.
Alan, I like you. But what you said was clearly supposed to get people to make the connection between poor pre-natal care and Downs Syndrome. Where you are normally extremely articulate in your statements, here you were vague. It’s easy to now apologize and say that is not what you meant, but now the charge is out there. Typical of their stupidity, the left wing zealouts are now frothing at the mouth. In politics, it’s the seriousness of the charge and not whether it is true or not. You know that. And you also know that you cannot unring a bell.
And never forget, despite what your allies say on the left, having that child was always better than killing it. And for that reason alone, Sarah Palin will always be heads and shoulders about any liberal who would have done differently.
September 1st, 2008 at 3:59 pm
I was a Dem for 40 years. I left the party May 31 and changed my registration to Independent. Won’t be back until Donna Brazile, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Howard Dean are gone. I will vote for McCain/Palin. Every time one of you jerks maligns Sarah Palin, Cindy McCain, Hillary Clinton, or Hillary’s supporters, a bell rings and another vote goes over to McCain. Count on it. You MSM jerks have a big surprise coming in November. Besides, you’ll be deaf from the bells by then.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Alan,
You have no wiggle room left to complain when republicans “speculate” about democrats. Take your foot out of your mouth and apologize on your show tonight, otherwise I’m sure Hannity will pound you (as usual).
September 1st, 2008 at 4:01 pm
Sorry, but I would think that someone with all those titles behind their name would know how to spell a little better.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:01 pm
So the best you could come up with in her life’s decisions was her decision to give a speech while close to delivering a child? You’re talking about a woman who had already given birth to four kids, Alan… I don’t know how many kids you have, but ask any woman who has had two or more and you’ll find out that they know pretty well how to handle a pregnancy.
You’re just trying to find something that can make Obama’s America-hating Hitlerite pastor of 20 years look nice by comparison. But by attacking the most female of all parts of Palin’s life you are once again showing the same disrespect for women that you show almost nightly on TV. Which, BTW, is one reason why I tape H&C and fast forward each time it’s your turn to talk.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:10 pm
So who the heck do you think you are to judge any woman’s pregnancy or questions HER judgement about these matters. Since you’ve obviously never been pregnant, you really ought to shut-up on this one.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:16 pm
Though I rarely have agreed with you, I had always thought you to be a decent guy. Your question really wasn’t legitimate at all–you’re not an OB/GYN. You should have checked with one at minimum. My water broke when my husband was 12 hours away via a plane ride. The doctor opted to wait until he arrived. Even then it took another 8 hours. After four pregnancies, she was able to make her decision along with her doctor.
Can’t wait to her your assessment of her daughter’s pregnancy. Please, stop already.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:19 pm
You should have made your first post clear, and less obtuse. The bottom line is you’re still taking cheap shots about her pregnancy. As a Republican, albeit an unhappy one, I had always placed you above that sort of crap. Get off it quick. Sarah Pallin has more executive experience than both the top & bottom of the Dem ticket. Its ugly to see you take such sordid partisan shots at her.
So happy to hear about John Coale. Saw him just awhile ago on TV. Sounds like a great guy with no BS.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Busted! You were digging a hole for Sarah Palin, and you fell in. You were trying to defame and drag her down, and instead YOU wound up caught in your own trap,. What are you feeling now? The little little weazel that you are? You are really straining and reaching to come after a woman, analyizing her prenatal care!!? What you have done, is raised the ire of decent, common sense folk. I don’t know how you are going to salvage your reputation after this one. Oh, and by the way, if someone from the Repblican party had pulled a stunt like this one against Hillary.. questioning her personal health issues,, I would have been just as upset.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:20 pm
“Since you’ve obviously never been pregnant, you really ought to shut-up on this one”
I’m sure he’s tried.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
What’s getting lost in all this is WHEN Down Syndrome begins. Normal testing is performed between 15 and 18 weeks but it can be done as early as 10 weeks. Doctors are currently trying to develop a test for the first trimester. The notion of Down Syndrome developing at the very end of the pregnancy is absurd,
September 1st, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Alan, you have become more and more annoying with you ‘reactional’ comments on Hannity and Colmes. At times I thought it was your producer that spoke in your ear with what to say. Now, I think you are just a donkey’s ass or stupid.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Vinnie, do you mean Alan has tried to get pregnant? LMFAO
September 1st, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Alan: I am writting letters to your sponsors to get you off the air as your comment was thinly-veiled innuendo and misogynist AND sexist.
And this from a democrat who regularly wishes he could take your place in H and C because of your weak responses and rote recitation of DNC talking points instead of well reasoned debate from the liberal viewpoint.
Where was your concern about Obama’s judgement in his dealings with Wright and Ayers? If you had used the N-word you could not have been more insulting. A woman consults a doctor and makes a decision… Aren’t you pro-choice? She should’ve just had the baby killed when the water broke so it wouldn’t inconvenience her career? Sadly, that would have been good judgement from your perspective.
She made her choice and it turned out to be a good one. Women exercising control over their choices scares you eh?
Hillary’s treatment by the party ws awful. That shall not stand. Hear us all roar!!!!!
McCain/Palin 08!!

TILLTHEN: That’s the best explanation I can come up with for his fasciation over Airport Men’s rooms, Larry Craig, and the sex lives of teenagers.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Alan – do you have a disabled child? Maybe you should learn what it is like to raise a disabled child and maybe you wouldn’t be so shallow and pathetic.
Or better yet – go by your nearest OB and get a down syndrome booklet and educate yourself.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:28 pm
Alan, Obama is a liberal with class. He said again that families and especially children are off-limits in a campaign. You are a zealot. A fascist who would use force to stop your enemies if you had the guts. Glasses or not, you look and act like a snake. People like you should have a little humility.
Let’s make a deal. You shut the hell up and we won’t tell the truth about you.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:34 pm
Perhaps you should spend more time questioning the judgment of your PRESIDENTIAL candidate, Obama, before questioning the judgement of another party’s Vice Presidential candidate. But of course the Democrats such as yourself who tow the party line regardless could never do that. Pathetic party of whiners…aka Democratic Party.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:36 pm

lol, I was reading this last night and thinking Sue Williams couldn’t possibly be right. Well, Logician, it seems you and I and everyone else who accused Sue of being wrong owe her an apology.
The New York Times reported today that Bristol Palin is in fact pregnant. Which means 1. Baby Trig can’t be hers, just as Sue said and 2. well, Sue was right, wasn’t she? and 3. Sarah Palin actually was stupid enough to fly 10 hours after her water broke to give birth to her baby.
so, Sue, apologies on doubting you, you got your info 100% right. You should look into becoming a “source” for one of the papers who are covering Palin in this election.
Sue would be poster Sue Williams of mudflats.wordpress.com

Wow, a genuine liberal misogynist. Alan, you may have just broken the record for being the slimiest bottom feeder on TV.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Alan, really, show some backbone here. Leave the orginal post in place, put up the appropriate apology, and delete all the profanity-laced comments. Deleting the orginal post and then blaming it on the commenters is just the sort of Stalinesque history-airbrushing you should be ashamed to do. If you regret the original post [and not just because you're getting heat for it!] then man-up and do the right thing.

September 1st, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Simply put, until Mr. Colmes apologizes for attempting to malign a woman in labor and in contact with her doctor and following her doctor’s orders, I will not be watching anything Fox puts out. Period. From what I hear, there are more than a few viewers leaving the ranks. Colmes contributes to the judgmental culture that beats down pregnant women and mothers at every turn. He maligned every mother in this country with his smarm. Now he gloats about. He should be APOLOGIZING for it.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:45 pm
Barack Obama on Palin: “Back off these kinds of stories.”
“I have said before and I will repeat again: People’s families are off limits,” Obama said. “And people’s children are especially off-limits. This shouldn’t be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin’s performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. So I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories. You know my mother had me when she was 18 and how a family deals with issues and teenage children, that shouldn’t be a topic of our politics.”
September 1st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Dear Mr colmes,
Each day there are children born with birth defects. This is a fact of life. Some of these imperfections(as if the rest of us are perfect) are decided @ conception…Ms. Palin ’s child’s was.
In makes no difference to a mother, how or why her child is not “perfect”. Most Moms worry about what they did that caused this to occur.Very often, they did nothing that caused the process, it is just a fact of human life.
You chose to disparage Ms. Palin of your own free will. That a lot more consideration, than life gave her.
I hope you get fired by FOX for this mean slur against Ms. Palin. It is time women said”NO MORE”.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:46 pm
Alan, perhaps your next blog entry should be entitled…
“Palin family morally corrupt as Palin daughter impregnated outside of marriage… Will this underage slut choose abortion or choose to have a possibly disabled child”
Go with it Alan. And no need to thank me for the title. I’m certain you already have thought of it yourself ya phucktard.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Alan, until we, the loyal members of the LLC, say you did something wrong, all other opinions do not matter. You just worry about staying safe for the next couple of days in elephant land, and CherylCarroll, Mary, WFG, and the rest of the gang will take care of the confused ones here.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:49 pm
Sir:
Since you are an expert on obstetrics, I would like to have your advise on how it is possible to have the result of a botched histoscopy reversed. I am sure you will be able to resolve all present and future problems for me…especially since I won’t have to ever again deal with any useless decisions about whether or not to have a child.
Thank you so much!
September 1st, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Alan what you said was out of bounds for a man in your position. Was it evil? no. It’s just symptomatic of the affect that the gutter discourse on the blogs is beginning to have in the main stream media. Why don’t we all grow up and figure out what fair game in politics. We might want to start with our politicians families and health related issues.
I am disappointed in you for your comment and I am more disappointed in the manner in which you handled the fallout. The fact that some of your detractors are blowing it out of proportion is no excuse.
When are politicians and you folks in the media going to learn to just say you’re sorry and move on. The more you argue the fine points of what you said and engage in responding to nut jobs, the worse you look. You are a grown man and a professional journalist and you were discussing the governor of Alaska’s uterus for god sake.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Alan is just a little flustered, he can’t understand why mother and daughter didn’t just abort. It’s the liberal answer to all problems.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:53 pm
“So, let’s see – you write about her negligence in prenatal care – did you speak with her Doctor before posting that – no, I thought not. Then you talk about being able to question her judgment because she has a down’s baby – what the hell does THAT mean? Of course, we all know we wouldn’t be allowed to question her judgment if she had elected to abort a Down’s baby – right?
You’re a vile, shallow little man who has relegated himself to the realm of the irrelevant – enjoy the stay.
Despite your “snappy” final line – we don’t have to lie about you. The truth is odious and revealing enough.”
Excellent point and post. Alan is a Phucktard with a capital “P”…. for PATHETIC…
September 1st, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Dear all pregnant women in the US.
Please check in with alan colmes to see if you’re exercising good judgement before deciding to go ahead with the birth of your child. Especially if your child had been diagnosed with any disability or if you hold or expect to hold any form of employment which may jeopardize your ability to judge objectively.
and please tell alan what a moron he is
thank you
September 1st, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Alan, until you find yourself with a vagina, you really need to shut the fat luck UP about what a woman and HER DOCTOR (the US winner of 2002 Family Doctor of the YEAR, FWIW) decide is safe, appropriate, or “good judgment” as to the birth of her child.
You weren’t there, you don’t know, and you are simply speculating. I am a Democrat and a woman who is APPALLED at the rank sexism I’ve seen from people this election cycle–and the “Move On” crowd are WAY worse than the GOP this time around.
You’d better hope that women don’t get their itshay together and decide to vote as a bloc–all you sexist jerk-offs would be off the air and “manning” the unemployment line.
Idiot.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Would Mr. Colmes have made this post on “judgment” if Palin’s baby did not have downs? I think not as there would have been no issue; neither he or his staff would even have bothered to research the issue. Granted, they WOULD have researched any possible question of paternity–as they are doing now–but the real theme of Mr. Colmes judgment question is only relevant because of downs syndrome.
If that is NOT the case, and if Mr. Colmes is so concerned with judgment of decision makers, then perhaps he can share with us his analysis of possible miscarriages of Pelosi, Clinton, or others; if these events happened, surely there was poor decision making as a contributing factor! Maybe he’s even done the research on Mrs. Bush, and is now drafting an article on how these events reflect poorly on the fatherly duties of the President!
Finally, I must say I am amazed that Mr. Colmes, with a fairly high level of education, attempts to provide the old false analogy arguments to justify his points; the Rev Wright issue–lasting for YEARS–is not comparable to a woman’s decision to board an airplane while on the edge of labor with her 5th child. Nor is it a comparable to Mr. Biden’s decisions on plagarism,lying about his academic record, or making blatant racist comments.
If nothing else, in both the Rev Wright issue and Biden’s “slips,” both Obama and Biden were fully in command of all faculties with no physiological events occurring. So if Mr. Colmes had at LEAST argued that this is why women shouldn’t be in the White House–their judment can be effected by unique physical events, perhaps he would have had a basis of argument–easily destroyed, but at least with a point to argue from.
In any event, if he really thinks he was right, why pull the entry? In the future, if you don’t have the guts to keep something posted, then don’t post. But wait; pulling it does drive more traffic, and maybe that’s it–typical liberal cynicism which is simply too complex for my conservative mind to digest as I wait for the jet to Afghanistan.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:58 pm
and to the points made above.
you wouldn’t be questioning her judgement had she chosen to have an abortion. thats just a fact.
September 1st, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Alan, ignore these cretins posting abuse toward you here. You have done nothing wrong and are admired both in Amerika and the world over. We trust in you and your judgment and once in power together we will implement many reforms to silence the right wingers as well as take care of some of the posters responding in this disrespectful manner towards you.

September 1st, 2008 at 5:02 pm
Prior to today, I would have considered you a liberal I liked. Clarify as you might, your argument doesn’t hold water. You did question Palin’s pre-natal care. You did question her judgment when she made a speech when she began having contractions.
Unless you have had four children, had contractions and knew the routine you wouldn’t have room to talk. Now, if you want to question judgment, why don’t you argue from a position of experience.
The only thing you have clarified for me is my poor judgment for thinking you were better than this. You guys are the main reason Obama is losing voters. (That and the fact that he’s appoving of it in his own passive-aggressive way.)
September 1st, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Trace, you and Kildare are two lib weezels. I was 40 when my child was born. As for Alan C., he still hasn’t figured out where babies coe from although he wants to be an ob/gyn. I hope his wife bitch slaps him and Andrew Sullivan. They both need it.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Alan Colmes is a sad ugly loser. If he was a woman he could not get pregnant because he looks like an alien
September 1st, 2008 at 5:13 pm
Alan didn’t necessarily have to speak to Palin’s own doctor to understand the situation. Obviously Palin’s doctor is not the only person on the planet who can explain what’s what. Alan knew enough to be able to question her judgment.
I DONT WANT A WOMAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE WHO RISKS HER OWN BABY’S LIFE! AND ALL THIS TIME CONSERVATIVES HAVE BEEN CALLING OBAMA BABY KILLER?… I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A BETTER LOOK AT YOUR OWN PEOPLE (PALIN), WHO COULD HAVE KILLED HER OWN!
WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE SHE WOULD RISK, IF SHE HAD TO RUN THE COUNTRY!
September 1st, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Alan maybe you didn’t say that because of her choices Sarah Palin had a down syndrone child like always you insinuated it. That is just as bad because you didn’t have the courage to come right out with it. You hid behind the insinuation so you could say we twisted your words. I personally don’t know why Fox keeps you.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:16 pm
BCC-
Have you ever heard of Jill Stanek? If it were up to you and Obama it would have been ok if she had just left it in a trash can to die than to hop a flight with her doctors consent.
The arguments over here are just fodder for 527’s. Can’t wait, wonder where I can donate.
By the way, Alan, I should have read the comments above before I posted my reply to you. It seems that you’re already being eviscerated and don’t need further help from me. Maybe you will reconsider your judgment and post an apology so some of us will listen to you again.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:18 pm
“In the case of Sarah Palin, it had to do with a choice to give a speech and then board a flight after contractions began and water began to break in the last month of pregnancy with her fifth child.”
*****************
Then tell us Alan, exactly what was implied in that assumption of “Choice”… You are just like Obama, leaving things up in the air for citizens to fill in the missing blanks.
Next time say what you mean and mean what you say and make it comprehensive. Thank You.
Remember most of your new viewers are Clinton supporters but we hate people knocking women and their choices.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:18 pm
Get off the web ya big dope!
September 1st, 2008 at 5:19 pm
professional journalist????? How professional is it to make accusations when the writer did not sufficently check the facts? Does he work in western media or for the Kremlin? It is on par with some of their garbage news storys on Georgia.
And part of that question of judgment has to do with life decisions that candidates make. In the case of Sarah Palin, it had to do with a choice to give a speech and then board a flight after contractions began and water began to break in the last month of pregnancy with her fifth child.
If this was about Sara’s judgment what is all the lying accuation about?
Clearly you are lying about your motives.
And I usually let my work speak for itself.
It sure does. You get a failing grade, unless you really do work for the Kremlin
September 1st, 2008 at 5:19 pm
Hometown That’s about the only thing that I didn’t know about Bristol Palin’s pregnancy. The rest of the details I picked up almost without trying, while talking about other things with townsfolk — some who know the governor and her family well, some who don’t. It was, more or less, an open secret. And everyone was saying the same thing: the governor’s 17-year-old daughter is pregnant, the father is her boyfriend, and it’s really nobody’s business beyond that.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Alan, the thing is, you don’t know the first thing about what Sarah Palin knows, in terms of her own body. This is her 5th child. She has had her water break 4 times previously and knows how her body handles labor and delivery; you have no idea.
And then to try and spin it to suggest that your COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED JUDGMENT about her body bears in any way on her own judgment, in terms of her ability to handle the job of VPOTUS, well, it’s beyond the pale, truly.
What WERE you thinking??
September 1st, 2008 at 5:22 pm
Alan, you are a complete a*hole!!!!!!!!!!
September 1st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Alan
I have always enjoyed your tit for tat with Hannity. I agree with both of you guys on certain issues.
However, I must say your comments about Sarah Palin crossed the line. True you did not come right out and say she may have been reponsible for the baby’s Down’s Syndrome. What you did was misleading and disingenuous. You planted the seed of perception. Even you know that perception is reality.
As such I no longer can repect your views and question your integrity as a human being.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:24 pm
Downs is not caused by the pre-natal health of a child…it is a a congential condition.
How is that we can talk about her child’s birth, and that her daughter will also be having a child, but we do not talk about Barack, that it is known that Barack has been associated with at least 2 bisexual men, (Frank Davis & Bill Ayers), is friends with Tony R, who gave all men parties and has had a back seat romp with Larry Sinclair?
In three days the Moveon.org crowd are giving us gross rumors about a woman; but in the past 18 months we do not hear one reporter stand up and ask the question that we all would like to be asked “Is Barack Obama bisexual?
September 1st, 2008 at 5:27 pm
BCC: She followed the direcives of her OB/GYN. Are you accusing the doctor of malpractice? Are you attempting to insert yourself into that “sacred space” that you pro-abortion folks always says exists between a woman and her doctor when it comes to reproductive choices? Or does that space only exist when it is filled with a suction machine vacuuming a child out of her uterus?
As for Obama, he voted to leave newborns to die in linen closets. Seems that “babykiller” fits.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:27 pm
Alan,
You choose to lie down with these folks every night on the H&C Show. So your indignations sound like a hooker complaining that she’s got the crabs.
So Miss Wasilla Delivers. Again. “Honey, we’re gonna need a bigger Igloo.”.
Her future son-in-law. He saw all that news footage of Grandma Palin shootin’ her rifle, and pronto heading down to the Pawn Shop to buy a ring.

September 1st, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Hi Alan,
You say it is a question of judgement.
Mrs Palin sought the advise of her Dr.
She acted on that advice.
So, she takes on the advice of the experts and makes a decision.
I would say her judgement is sound as is her approach to problem solving.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:39 pm
There is nothing worse in partisan politics then when the unfortunate illness of a child is attempted to be leveraged against the parents. Shame on anyone who would attempt to place the blame of a medical condition onto the parents of the child especially for some hoped for political advantage. Your true character will always shine through when you begin to loose ground. If you wanted to compare the judgement of the candidates you could have compared Obama’s statements that if his daughter made a mistake he wouldn’t want her to be “punished” and compare it to the statements made by gov Palin. You are a sad little man who lacks the integrity to tell the truth and I am glad to see the Obamonites rise above the politics of destruction.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:39 pm
Can we call this dance the Side-Step?
For shame, Alan. When you stood up to be counted among those who lustily destroy another person, all for purely political reasons, who frankly gives a damn what you have to say now?
You’re in a huge hole. Stop digging.

Alan Colmes – Another Fox News Liberal. Handpicked to compete with actual right-wingers because he’s a gutless fucking weasel.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Colmes, here is the problem I have with you. Over the years you have decided to go into gutter politics. Now if you want to follow Daily Kos or something of that sort then you have to be ready for the fall out. What happened to the philosophy of hitting a politician on the issues. Are you going to attack Sarah’s daughter for being pregneant next? Just remember Senator Obama has not went there. Do we want to go to teenage pregnancy? How old was Senator Obama’s mother? Was she married? Let’s get out of the gutter and back on the street where you belong.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Sarah Palin knew last week that her daughter was pregant. So did John McCain. But both of them decided that they could care less about the public exposure it would unleash upon 17 year old Bristol Palin.
McCain’s judgement may be in question, but much more so is Sarah Palin’s regard for her children’s privacy.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:44 pm
You gotta love liberals. Obama “doesn’t say” more than he ever does say. Now Alan’s headlining that dog and pony show, too.
I really love it that Palin has you people so horrified.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:45 pm
I mean, seriously, is there anyone who likes Alan Colmes. Liberals hate Alan Colmes because he’s a gutless fucking weasel that Ailes put on Fox so he could try to pretend that his channel isn’t in the tank for the Republican Party, and conservatives hate Alan Colmes because they’re too fucking stupid to see that he’s only there to maintain their pathetic dillusion that they’re watching “objective” news.
So who actually listens to this douchebag?
September 1st, 2008 at 5:46 pm
That’s right, Alan, you poor man. You’re the victim in all this. You never actually said that she caused Downs, but you very clearly implied that her poor judgment hurt her baby (otherwise, if it didn’t hurt her baby, her judgment would have been vindicated).
But how DARE anyone question your decency? All you did was accuse a loving mother of intentionally risking her child’s safety – it’s a valid question! Besides, you, Alan Colmes, know so much more about women’s bodies than us poor benighted women could ever hope to know. We should be grateful to you for pointing out the error of our ways!
Thank you, Alan, for telling us women what to do with our uteri.
September 1st, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Comrade Dame Daxx,
Do not waste your time with these people. They just do not understand our progressive views. I agree, how could they do this to Palin’s daughter, Bristol. It would have been far better had Sarah Palin aborted her retarded republican child and had her daughter aborted her mistake as well. Then the retarded child would not have had to suffer the Republican medical establishment, and her daughter would not have her life ruined by this so called “baby”.

Alan.. let me just quote your pal, Donna Brazille here..
“stop the hate, Alan, stop the hate”…
seriously, although I was serious, you might know that most of the time it is hours, if not sometimes days or even weeks after a woman’s water breaks before the child is delivered. Please at least make an attempt to educate yourself.. okay?
September 1st, 2008 at 5:55 pm
This incident has been a real education about the dangerous mentality of the RW Christbats. This plague of zombies has been visited upon us because their cynical controllers have pointed their stupidest followers in this direction and said sic ‘em. Scary when they can continue to send wave after wave of fools who cannot even stop and pause when confronted with the simple facts.
Alan never for a moment suggested that the Down’s Syndrome genetic problem (identified many months earlier) was anything to do with the woman’s irresponsibility in the hours before his birth. Only a complete idiot, say someone who thinks evolution is a crock, could even entertain such a bizarre notion.
Alan questioned the wisdom of a potentially ‘heartbeat-from-the-presidency’ person who, when faced with the possibly imminent, possibly problematic early birth of an already compromised baby, would get onto a plane (without informing the cabin crew) and fly for all those hours in a pressurised cabin, then drive to a backblocks hospital with no special neo-natal facilities and finally have the premature birth induced.
Perfectly simple, perfectly rational questions of someone who may well have the authority to declare war in a matter of months.
Our miraculous brains and our ability to reason are our greatest gifts from God or whatever it was that brought us here. You hateful dolts should be ashamed of throwing it all away in the service of your money-grubbing, shameless controllers.

Hi Susie @5:39,
So what was her Doctor’s advice?

“Hell, ask the Stewardess for a Double Jack Daniel’s and Coke. It helps the contractions.”
September 1st, 2008 at 6:00 pm
John McKee,
They will never understand. Let them get it out here. Better here than bombing abortion clinics and raping black girls in Alabama. I know, if only they would embrace income redistribution and abortion the world would be a better place. Should we take power we will be able to implement many reeducation programs and we will be able to make them understand that our progressive views are not only valid but mandatory.

So you’re still getting “vicious” comments, huh? Did you think you’d get praise for a “vicious” post? I have no agenda, and I don’t hate liberals. You seem to think those are the only reasons people could react so negatively to your post. Sorry, but you are wrong again. I just abhor mean-spiritedness coming from anyone. It doesn’t matter whether you were questioning Gov. Palin’s judgment or insinuating she somehow caused her baby to have Down Syndrome. Either way you come off as pathetic,petty and lowbrow.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:01 pm
Alan I searched the web and found statements from Palin’s own doctor stating she was not in active labor and was okay to fly. If I can find that information so easily,not being a professional journalist( and I use that term loosely,since you are clearly not either) so can you. You are a disgusting liar and you have no credibility at all any more.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:03 pm
Alan…Alan… Alan! take a walk, fpr shame, for shame for shame. Your logic defies logic.

“I am still getting vicious comments and hate mail from those who believe I should be silenced, fired and even shot.”
Alan, you are not worth the price of a good bullet. Your attack on Palin and her family is unforgivable. I hope Sean has the good sense to distance himself from you.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:04 pm
Alan, 1) You state that Obama bin Biden have been “heavily questioned.” The problem is people haven’t received any answers; 2) Oh poor you–you’ve received criticism…regarding a deliberate attempt to smear Palin–again, poor you…you deserved it; 3) your post was about HER judgment?–what about Obama’s judgment in having umpteen nefarious associations? You are really despicable.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Alan, it’s time for you all you Liberaland knotheads to come clean…you’re not interested in bettering the lives of women or blacks, and you’ll smear them and lie about them when it suits your purposes.
Sarah Palin, Clarence Thomas.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:19 pm
We can always count on you, Alan, to bring a #2 pencil to an intellectual knife fight.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:23 pm
so mr Culm, what exactly is the cause of Down’s Syndrome and did Sarah Palin contribute to it?
if you need some help, you can always contact your ambulance chasing buddy John Edwards and he can channel the fetus with his X-man powers.
I don’t think you should be shot, that’s way too fast. Perhaps years of imprisonment in some Gulag your family helped run would be more suitable.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:24 pm
I’d take one rational human’s judgement over that of a million pre-programmed (and apparently unreprogrammable) zombies marching in lockstep over the truth.
If Christ existed, he’d be so ashamed.

Even Obama had to pretend he is embarrassed by you and the likes of you – and that’s saying a lot
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/obama-offended-by-palin-rumors/
September 1st, 2008 at 6:26 pm
Alan,
I didn’t read what you wrote. However, I doubt that you have ever given birth to a single child, let alone 5. I have given birth to 3. With my first child, my water began leaking days before I gave birth and my contractions began weeks before I gave birth. A female knows her body better than anyone. Sarah Palin consulted her doctor and she wasn’t due to deliver for another month. Many people give birth in cars, emergency rooms and at home. Does that make them have poor judgement?
Why are you not defending her? She is a strong woman in a male dominated job. She has done everything she can to stand up for what she believes in. She is the epitome of a woman who has realized the Female American Dream. Just because she doesn’t sign on to the political correct female agenda doesn’t mean that she should not be granted the same respect as all women deserve.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:28 pm
NotYoursweetie – how does Jesus like your lying? Alan never said a word to besmirch the stupid woman’s family. Will you fry?
September 1st, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Well, please keep Obama away from the Palin family. He’ll kill the baby for sure. Even after it is born.

Natosha, you just figured it out! They aren’t for women’s rights, or black rights, or gay rights, they are for LIBERAL women’s rights, LIBERAL black rights, and LIBERAL gay rights.
Party comes before country for these people. And as Alan has so aptly demonstrated, it also comes before truth, decency, and self-preservation.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:31 pm
I see Mr. McKee is also towing the party line: when you can’t attack the message, attack the messenger.
Nice play.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:35 pm
Yes John McKee,
You are right once again. Christ would be ashamed of these backwards fools. You know as well as I that Christ would have aborted his retarded child rather than allow it to be birthed and burden both himself and the welfare system in place at the time. These preprogrammed right wing nazis just need to be edumacated and they would then understand the validity of our progressive, and may I also add, our CORRECT vision of Amerika. EIGHT IS WAY MORE THAN ENOUGH! WE MUST ERADICATE THIS RIGHT WING SURGE ON AMERIKA. After taking power we will correct Amerika, I will elevate you to the rank of Commander of the Socialist Baby Killer Party of Amerika! Then, and only then, we will commence our progressive program to “Re Educate and Assimilate”

September 1st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Alan my family used to respect you. The fact is you have gotten mean and personal on several occasions in recent weeks. If you only intended to question her judgement why get personal at all. You meant to insinuate, or at least leave it open to insinuation, that she was at fault for her child’s condition. Can you think of another time when you’ve sunk so low? Shame on you. We will not watch any show you are on anymore. Anyone who will, I question their judgement.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
AK~ Can you please explain to me how Palin failed as a mother? If it’s because her daughter is pregnant, than my mother failed (in your eyes) and I strongly disagree with that statement.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:39 pm
A poster above said:
They will never understand. Let them get it out here. Better here than bombing abortion clinics and raping black girls in Alabama.
Yeah, given that those were all the acts of card-carrying Democrats, I’d agree. Let Democrats like Alan get it out of his system here, and Democrats like the folks at DU and Kos get it out there.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
This is not an attack on anyone except that idiot woman. I repeat:
Alan never for a moment suggested that the Down’s Syndrome genetic problem (identified many months earlier) was anything to do with the woman’s irresponsibility in the hours before his birth. Only a complete idiot, say someone who thinks evolution is a crock, could even entertain such a bizarre notion.

Perfectly simple, perfectly rational questions of someone who may well have the authority to declare war in a matter of months.
Anyone got anything intelligent to say?
September 1st, 2008 at 6:41 pm
PS I remember distinctly you defending the judgement of Mr. Obama for voting to deny any care to an aborted child who survived. And then you twisted the facts to make it seem legitimate. Maybe life isn’t an issue upon which you should comment.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:42 pm
First, her pregnancy and how she handled it is none of your business. Second, let’s question every time John McCain goes out in the sun and doesn’t appear to be wearing sunblock. Let’s question what Obama has smoked all those years … probably in his children’s presence at times. You just HAD to find something personal and negative to say about Palin. You make me sick … I can never watch your show and see your smirking face again. I’ve had enough.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Enough already!
It’s so obvious what you are doing here – trying to deflect discussion from the fact that McStupid made a horrible choice for a running mate.
After all, there isn’t a lot of positive things to say about the thought that some 44 year old former beauty queen, with a Bachelor’s degree, who lived her entire life in some bum-fuck nowhere Alaskan town where the polar bear population is higher than the human population, is a staunch conservative who vehemently opposes sex education in schools and insists that teaching abstinence is what works, despite the fact that she has a 17 year old unwed, pregnant teenage daughter – as his VP.
If I were you, I’d be creating a distraction too!
September 1st, 2008 at 6:44 pm
Please tell the truth about us. It would be so refreshing.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:44 pm
This an attack, on the dunce Dante.
“You meant to insinuate, or at least leave it open to insinuation, that she was at fault for her child’s condition.”
NO HE DID NOT. SHOW US THE OFFENDING STATEMENT. OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES, FOR CHRIST’S SAKE. ALAN ACTUALLY SAID THE WOMAN PHONED HER OWN DOCTOR AND THAT IT WAS LONG KNOWN THE BABY HAD DOWN’S SYNDROME!
September 1st, 2008 at 6:46 pm
It appears that John McKee is coming unhinged. Now he’s screaming to try and get his point across. Liberals think that if they scream, we conservatives will understand. Sorry John, we hold the high ground. Enjoy the gutter!
September 1st, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Why are you stil questioning the judgement of a woman’s choice to give brith in the presence of her doctor?
You keep on sicking me. I hope you are fired from FOX News, because I will never be watching your show ever again.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Are people really that ignorant about down’s syndrome??? Down’s is not a during birth caused condition. It is genetic. So a decision to go to a doctor who has been treating you all along with a person with a disability makes sense to me. I would want to go to the person who knows me and my situation best. I don’t see how making a judgement to go back and get the best care for my child a bad judgement. And the flight has nothing to do as to why the child has down’s. The down’s syndrome would have been there months before taking the flight back to Alaska. Come on, educate yourselves people.
September 1st, 2008 at 6:50 pm
Thanks Dr. McKee, but your spin doesn’t fly (nice pun). He’s knows what he did and so do you.

Michelle … Know what you are talking about before you post your moron comments. Palin is a major advocate of birth control … not abortion (yes, I know … you consider that a form of birth control … that is a sad commentary of its own). So don’t try to portray her as you wish to believe her to be. I only wish YOUR parents practiced more birth control than they did …

WHat you failed to mention was Sarah Palin’s personal Doctor’s credentials.

What medical school did you say that you inTerned at?
September 1st, 2008 at 6:59 pm
Hats off to you, Alan, for taking the time to clear the air on this one. I know others would just as soon let it hang out there, for the sake of “discussion.”
But I echo “Richard” at 9/1, 6:43. Ms. Palin’s pregnancy — and, for that matter, that of her daughter — is nobody’s business.
I’ll draw the line when I hear you report that the Palin family dog is a real bitch.

I don’t want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn’t make sense to not give them information.” -Barack Obama
“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support” -Sarah Palin
America doesn’t want to be ‘punished’ with an Obama presidency.

Here’s a thought Alan: why not think before you blog next time? Won’t have to spend so much time backing and filling.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:02 pm
I know Sarah Palin’s daughter’s pregnancy should be off limits, but before I lay off I will point out the following:
1. She has an special needs infant son that needs her attention…are you telling me that her son has to wait 4 or 8 years before she focuses on him?
2. She has a teenage pregnant daughter that needs her more than ever, why would Sarah Palin put her daughter under harsh criticsm/microscope? She pretty much threw her daughter under the bus.
She once again showed everyone that she put Country first and children a DISTANT SECOND! Good one mom/grandma!
If you republicans can’t see that, you are in denial. THE TRUTH HURTS DOESN’T IT.

September 1st, 2008 at 7:12 pm
What a contrast between the “words” of Barack Obama and the “life” of Sarah Palin. One would opt for abortion so as not to punish their daughter for her mistake, the other opts for life. One more reason to reject the “Messiah”.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:12 pm
All this will be forgotten once Obama’s homosexual tendencies and Biden’s abuse of power come to light.
Stay tuned………..
September 1st, 2008 at 7:13 pm
Dozens of attacks (including several dribbles from the moronic poop creature), no facts, no answers. You Christbots are comical!
Try and digest this:
1. 40-something woman told her unborn child suffers from Down’s, chooses not to abort. Presumably she is informed that such children are much more likely to have heart and other weaknesses which may cause difficulty at birth.
2. At 8 months, said woman flies to Texas for some Republican conference.
3. Woman’s waters break. Although it is well known that this could a) be a sign of impending labour and b) expose the child to the possibilty of infection, she carries on to present her 30 minute address.
4. Phones small-town doctor in rural Alaska. Specifically DOES NOT ask for assurance that flying home will be safe.
5. Leaves city with the most modern neo-natal facilities in America. Boards plane without informing cabin crew of her condition, flies at 30,000 feet in a pressurised cabin for many hours (consulting a doctor in Seattle en route) to Anchorage. Leaves that reasonably well equipped city for a backblocks hospital with few or no specialised neo-natal facilities.
6. Takes medication to induce the immediate birth of at-risk child.
Call that responsible judgement? I suppose you logic-challenged Christbots think that’s really, really sensible.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:15 pm
LOL – typing in all caps always gives one’s arguments more weight, John McKee – as does sprinkling the word “fuck” liberally throughout your ravings.
Let’s see – after acknowledging that Palin called her Doctor and got clearance to fly, Brave Alan follows up with:
“Still, a Sacramento, Calif …said that when a pregnant woman’s water breaks, she should go straight to the hospital…”. If you want all of the wording – go to the screencapture. Plus, it seems to be incomplete – just a partial image of the webpage. Now, we’ll never know what, if anything, followed those words since Brave Alan disappeared the post down the memory hole.
So – Brave Alan titles his post questioning Palin’s prenatal care – offers “expert” opinion by a Doctor who knew NOTHING about the pregnancy – and the obvious implication is that Trig’s illness was due to suboptimal care. The fact that Down syndrome is congenital was never mentioned. It’s great that Brave Alan left himself some plausible deniability (always easier when you get rid of the evidence, n’est ce pas?) – and even better that you’re offering such well thought out, reasoned arguments in support of Brave Alan. But the bottom line is that it was a hateful, vitriolic thing to do – posted purely to plant the implication that Palin’s behavior somehow harmed her child. If that’s not the inference – then there is absolutely NO reason to write that article. Period.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Geeze, Im so ashamed!!! Once again, Trace’s brilliant insight has put the world into focus. I’m dizzy, and reeling from the blinding light of his intellectual thought process. God, you’re right…the truth really does hurt!!!!! Oh the pain, oh the agony……..

Trace,
You are absolutely correct! I will make sure you receive the rank of Commander as well. Stupid bitch Palin, stupid enough to put her country ahead of her children. No wonder she had a retarded baby eh? If she cared about her children she would have aborted the retarded one herself, and insisted that her daughter obtain an abortion. Not only would this have proved her placing her children first it would have been the best thing she could have done for her country. I salute you Trace!

Predictions~
10 Years into the future:
Sarah Palin will be a great-grandmother. Granddaughter gives birth do child at the age of 10 news at 11.
Sarah Palin’s response: “Our beautiful grandddaughter who is 10 years old came to us with news that as grandparents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol’s daughter faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support” -Sarah Palin
September 1st, 2008 at 7:17 pm
“But both of them decided that they could care less about the public exposure it would unleash upon 17 year old Bristol Palin.”
There you lefties go again, deciding what other people do or should “think”. With all of your extra-sensory perception, it’s a wonder you’re not making millions off reading other people’s minds!
September 1st, 2008 at 7:18 pm
“When Finger-Pointing Can Ricochet” is an appropriate description of the storm you have caused with your sexist and hypocritical comments on Palin. As a frequent H&C viewer, I’ve always thought you were just lame. Now I think you’re desperate and cowardly. Apologize for your nasty insinuations.
I wish you would question Obama’s judgement,for failing to support legislation making it against the law to allow a child, born alive after a late-term abortion, to die in a linen closet. That child was male and had Down Syndrome, too. Obama voted AGAINST the law supporting that child’s right to live. -I served on a jury in which a woman was tried for drowning her newborn infant in the toilet, moments after the birth. We convicted. – I would convict Obama, too.
Palin should be congratulated for frightening you so much. Special needs children are typically born to special parents, and I think she certainly is. Bravo McCain.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:18 pm
With Obama’s judgment, the baby would have been left for dead in a dirty linen closet. THAT’S Obama’s JUDGMENT.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:18 pm
So its a judgement thing – indicating possibly bad judgement?
Kinda like making a post that appears to blaming a mother for her child having downs syndrome, then deleting the post a few hours later and trying to pretend it never happened? Kinda like that?

You didnt get ll those comments and emails and complaints because rethuglicans love to hate.
You got them because you made a slimy and cruel attack at a mother and her child. In short you are getting all of this attention because you deserve it.

Logorrhoea as a description of rhetoric
The word logorrhoea is often used pejoratively to describe prose which is highly abstract, and, consequently, contains little concrete language. Since abstract writing is hard to visualize, it often seems as though it makes no sense, and that all the words are excessive. Writers in academic fields which concern themselves mostly with the abstract, such as philosophy and (especially) postmodernism, often fail to include extensive concrete examples of their ideas; so an examination (superficial or otherwise, according to various points of view) of their work might lead one to believe that it is all nonsense, hence the pejorative epithet “pomobabble” (a neologism inspired from postmodern babble) and “archibabble” (another neologism, this one meaning “architect babble.”)
The widespread expectation that scholarly works in these fields will look at first glance like nonsense is the source of humor that pokes fun at these fields by comparing actual nonsense with real academic writing. (Several computer programs have been made that can generate texts resembling the styles of these fields but which are actually nonsensical.) In an attempt to prove this lack of rigour, physics professor Alan Sokal wrote a nonsensical essay, and had it published in a respected journal (Social Text) as a practical joke. The journal kept defending it as a genuine article even after its author rebuked it publicly in a subsequent article in another academic journal. (See Sokal Affair.)
Logorrhoea can also be used as a form of euphemism, to disguise unpleasant facts and ideas.
The term is also sometimes, less precisely, applied to unnecessarily (and often redundantly) wordy speech in general; this is more usually referred to as prolixity. Some people defend the use of additional words that aren’t strictly necessary, however, is often idiomatic, a matter of artistic preference, or helpful in explaining complex ideas or messages that might otherwise be unclear.

You will never talk sense into these conservative fucktards. That Sarah caused her child to be retarded is just beyond their comprehension. All we can do is give our utmost support to the Obamassiah and leave their future in his hands.

To John McKee:
What’s a “Christbot”?
Are you maligning people of faith, and what on earth does supporting Sarah Palin have to do with anyone’s religion?
Are you a “Satanbot” or something?

Oh, I see: Free Speech for me, but not for thee.
Got it.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Mr. Colmes,
I disagree with just about everything you say as you are a leftist and I am a realist. I have to say that your comments on supposed lack of prenatal care by Sarah Palin are contemptible and you should be fired.
Now that you know that the daughter is pregnant will you apologize to the mother? I didn’t think so. Will you attempt to practice some sort of constraint? I don’t think so. You will flay this girl alive to attempt to destroy her mother, you can’t help it, it is in your blood.
The communist left that has taken over the democratic party (my father left the democratic party to help found the conservative party of New York) is so ridden with hate that you cannot help yourselves, vicious, cruel, misogynistic and racist. Vicious because you cannot seem to get that which you want, liberal (see socialist or communist) government, cradle to grave. You act like you want this liberal (see socialist or communist) rule because you are more knowledgeable than the common man (this is the elitist effect) but in reality you relish the power it will give you. Cruel because you believe that the ends justifies the means, no matter how many lives you crush in the process (see Karl Marx). Misogynistic because you believe that women inherently inferior and are just a tool to use to maintain power. Your treatment of Hillary should be evidence enough. She was the more effective candidate but you were so enamored with Obama that you threw her away. Well we will see what happens in the election. Racist? Look at the history of the Democratic Party starting with the Jim Crow laws. After that the long history of legislation that looked like it was going to help but in reality were designed to destroy and hold down the black middle class. You are doing your best to balkanize America because you know that a divided people are easier to conquer. You heard what Theodore Roosevelt stated about hyphenated Americans and have been trying to divide us ever since.
It appears that you are an elitist pig, confident that you know what is best for me better than I do. But a man of your age can’t be ignorant of the reality of life therefore, in my opinion, you must be stupid. We can cure ignorance but stupidity is often fatal.
This is my opinion Mr. Colmes. Since Fox cancelled ED Hill’s for asking if Obama the magnificent was flashing a terrorist fist bump, they should, after careful examination of your behavior, fire you.
Yankee Dave
Jerema Wisniowiecki’s rules for the War on Terror. He teaches four specific lessons that civilized Humanity must learn if it is to avoid destruction:
1. Do not negotiate with entities that offer phony and temporary peaces. Kill them, to the last man if necessary, until they are no longer capable of offering violence.
2. Do not acknowledge terrorists and dictators as heads of state who have the right to negotiate with civilized countries.
3. Terrorism can never be forgiven or excused, and its perpetrators must be fought to the death.
4. Do not recognize the legitimacy of the terrorists’ claims.

September 1st, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Alan I am throughly disgusted in your comments and implications. Quit trying to explain it away after the fact. You made an assine comment which reflects how low you have sunk. If Fox had any brains they would fire you over your comments
September 1st, 2008 at 7:32 pm
In 1960 a teenager named Stanley Ann Dunham(white girl) became pregnant out of wedlock by an African foreign exchange student.
Stanley Ann’s mother worked outside of the home.
If her daughter had chosen to have the baby aborted then bho wouldn’t even be here and be running for POTUS.Maybe we ought to find out what bho has to say about killing babies now!
Dems are entitled to their rigid, convoluted & uncompromising beliefs,about abortion but what do they have to say about bho’s mommy?Would they prefer to see Sarah Palins daughter run away to Kenya or Africa just to try and hide her pregnancy?
But if you truly think that Sarah Palin’s daughter becoming pregnant affects Palin’s abilities to be John McCain’s running mate then you’re sadly mistaken.
In knowing bho views on killing babies,he should get on his knees and thank the good Lord that he is here to run for the highest office in the land!
September 1st, 2008 at 7:33 pm

Nice try, Alan. To even bring up the issue shows your clear intent…an inept attempt to malign a woman (who you Democrats are supposed to love…even though you failed to even vet the most qualified one you had)who scares the heck out of you. If character is as big an issue as you claim for the basis for even mentioning this inane thought of yours, the let’s review Biden’s resume of palgarizing…poor judgment wouldn’t you say? And he has a long history of it. Alan, I don’t want you shot or fired. You bring humor to the show trying to come up with rationale responses to the facts.
September 1st, 2008 at 7:42 pm
What kind of judgement does it portray when you knowingly leave a family member in a tin shack living on 1 dollar a month, when you could have this family member brought to the States and you can help take care of this person with all your compassion?
Until BHO adresses this, he not cerdibility at all. No family values, no taking of the less fortunate liberal matra bullcrap. He does not walk the walk!
September 1st, 2008 at 7:43 pm
“What I did say was that it’s fair to question a person’s judgment if that person is seeking to be Vice President of the United States…”
So therefore, it’s OK to ask any female running for elected office whether she has had an abortion, right Alan?
Afterall, it’s all about “questioning a persons judgement.”
September 1st, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I teach my daughter that when you screw up. You admit it, take responsibility and, when you can, try to make ammends. Maybe your mom didn’t teach you that being an adult requires you a) know how to behave and if you don’t remember how to behave b) be responsible for your actions. Spinning is not a responsible act. It’s amazing to see how low the Obama supporters are willing to sink. Not only are they willing to spread unfounded rumors, but then, they can’t man-up and admit it. Nice Alan. Why don’t you grow a pair and rejoin the human race.

In response to remarks about Obama and the Rev. Wright:
I cannot believe people have followed the history behind Rev. Wrights true hurt and frustration yet do not understand his anger, where were you during the days before Johnson and the days after when finally he had to sign the voting act after so many were killed including the several Civil Rights Workers in 1964? I am a 64 year old white woman and I even understand what the man preaches about, you obviously have not walked in the mans shoes or any other black mans shoes.

Now about Sarah Palin:
About McCain’s VP pick, how can she be ready to serve one step away from President if she cannot find time to supervise her own family members, she should look to caring for her family first. Her job of family is huge especially with a challenged child now only 4 months old, this is what is wrong with our country, no one is home to nurture the family anymore.
About Palins plane flight while in her 9th month of pregnancy:
Most doctors would have advised against plane travel or travel anywhere more than an hour from her doctor and hospital care, how do I know this??? well I am a women and was advised during my pregnancy’s and that advice was to stick close to home.
Palin’s responsibilie’s are even more important now that she has a daughter with a teenage pregnancy of her own, that baby will be here in 4 months and the daughter will not be around to hold the little baby brother or help with him around the White House but then the government will supply Nanny’s and nurses,however if this baby develops heart or lung issues will Ma Ma Sarah be there to care for him personally, this is not uncommon in Down syndrome children, they need constant love, care and direction and good health care.

September 1st, 2008 at 7:49 pm
So the Dems have a problem with a woman keeping a challenged child and not aborting it. Yet they don’t have a problem with John Edwards having a child out of wedlock…or Jessee Jackson. Why can’t you all just be joyful that this woman and her family decided to keep a life alive and love it?

September 1st, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Still no answers, just attacks on the questioners. I would respect anyone who takes a decent attempt at supporting this course of events:
1. 40-something woman told her unborn child suffers from Down’s, chooses not to abort. Presumably she is informed that such children are much more likely to have heart and other weaknesses which may cause difficulty at birth.
2. At 8 months, said woman flies to Texas for some Republican conference.
3. Woman’s waters break. Although it is well known that this could a) be a sign of impending labour and b) expose the child to the possibilty of infection, she carries on to present her 30 minute address.
4. Phones small-town doctor in rural Alaska. Specifically DOES NOT ask for assurance that flying home will be safe.
5. Leaves city with the most modern neo-natal facilities in America. Boards plane without informing cabin crew of her condition, flies at 30,000 feet in a pressurised cabin for many hours (consulting a doctor in Seattle en route) to Anchorage. Leaves that reasonably well equipped city for a backblocks hospital with few or no specialised neo-natal facilities.
6. Takes medication to induce the immediate birth of at-risk child.
Please, indulge me. Read, consider, marshal your cogent arguments, then respond.

I disagree with Alan’s statement and most of Alan’s beliefs, however, having been a long time listener and viewer of Alan, I have to say I don’t believe there is a mean bone in his body. Furthermore, even if I thought he made this comment out of bad judgement, I would give him the benefit of the doubt based on his past behavior and staements.
Why does a conservative watch and listen to a liberal pundit? Because it’s no fun listening to the preacher when you are the choir. Alan is sharp and usually keeps to the facts unlike other vicious lefties like Moore and MoveOn. Paying attention to Alan will make you a stronger debater.
Let’s attack the Huffington Post and leave old Alan alone.

September 1st, 2008 at 7:56 pm
Comrade McKee,
They can’t answer. Both you and I know that we know more than her doctors and her. She is obviously an unedumacated slut who cares more about having a retarded child whom she can torture with the burden of life than doing what you and I know would have been the right thing…. TO ABORT HER RETARDED LOVE CHILD AND AT THE VERY LEAST KICK HER SLUT DAUGHTER IN THE ABDOMEN THUS INDUCING A NATURAL ABORTION ON THE NAUGHTY GIRL!

This constant spin, back-pedaling and twisting of words from the lefist loonies is what’s ruining this country. Fight back now and Colmes is the perfect victim, after all isn’t that the whole left loonie agenda “we are all victims, feel sorry for us, we are being picked on by the right wing Neoandethal bullies, send us money, keep us on welfare,kill the imperfect children before or after birth, blah blah blah…”. Grow up Colmes and borrow a pair from Hillary, she seems to be the only on on your side with a set.

Hey, McKee…..get a clue. There’s a reason no one’s responding to you. You’re a broken record!!!!! You’ve got the volume cranked up high, and a Joint in each hand.
September 1st, 2008 at 8:04 pm
So, John McKee, exactly how did you get access to Sarah Palin’s private medical records? I mean, otherwise, how on earth would you know the things you list?
Item #1: “presumably”….on what basis do you presume to know anything??
Item #2: So what?
Item #3: So what? What evidence do you have that Sarah Palin placed herself at risk, and what evidence do you have that her choices caused any problems whatsoever?
Item #4: So, in your mind, small-town doctors in Alaska have inferior medical training and expertise than the doctors in Texas? On what do you base this presumption of yours? And who wouldn’t rather consult their own physician than a perfect stranger? And where did you hear the recording of that private call between a doctor and patient, so that you know exactly what was and what was not said?
Item #5: “backblocks hospital”? WTF?
Item #6: Assuming your comment is even true, for the sake of argument, so what? Women are given medication to induce labor all the time. What makes this event so troubling for you?
You really are a self-aggrandizing idiot.

And your quote is:
Mr. Colmes countered. ”I was the manager of the Lynbrook baseball team for two years.” He still has his ”L” letters. ”Why not?” he asked. ”They stand for liberal.”
His progressive persuasion did not come from his parents. ”I grew up in a nonpolitical family,” he said. ”My mother basically hated everybody.”
Need I say more, Alan???

I am a proud member of the Socialist Baby Killer Party of Amerika, aka the Democratic Party. The Rethuglican neo-cons will not derail our ascendancy to power. And they will pay for the lives of the innocent children that they did not take! We will make them pay and edumacate them as we did before with their tendency toward racism. We will liberate their minds as surely as we liberated the negros from the unjust yoke of slavery that the Rethuglicans imposed upon them.

Keep spewing ‘facts’ at us ‘morons’ all you want. The truth is, Sarah Palin’s judgement when it comes to her children, born or unborn, are none of your business! I thought that you liberals felt that ‘a woman’s right to choose’ was hers and hers alone! Find some other tree to bark up.

Alan,
If, as you put in your original blog she asked the advice of a doctor, unless you know what the doctor said you are presumptively assuming the doctor advised against the speech and that she rejected his advice. It would seem your judgment, unless you have some information you have not passed on, should be questioned here? I have had respect for your objectivity in the past. This diminishes that.

Yeah I read your original blog post and I am sickened. I am humbled by her courage and you’ve attempted to spin her amazing decision into a character flaw and poor judgment. Classic lib character assassination. Your reply to the negative feedback should have been no less than a full and contrite apology. Instead it is yet more spin to justify your attempt to tear down a person who is obviously superior to you in character and integrity.

Mr. Colmes,
You need to shut up while you are ahead. Down’s Syndrome is a genetic condition, not that uncommon for women over 30 who have children. It is not caused by riding in airplanes a month before a baby is born. Your entire post shows that you are a total and complete IDIOT who knows nothing about children, childbirth, or women. Your hatred of anyone who disagrees with you, however, is very obvious. I hope Hannity CRUCIFIES you over this.

Who is the Trace guy? Lot of pent up anger! Buy the way did you catch what Biden said today. I quote “Today is the moment for me as a United States senator running for president to put aside the national politics and focus on what’s happening down there.” this after Obama introduced him in Springfield – Obama introduced Biden as “the next President of the United States” Can you say Manchurian Candidate.
September 1st, 2008 at 8:51 pm
EddiesMom at least tried I guess, so I’ll answer her questions. I was actually laying out a timeline, not presenting 6 seperate points btw.
Me: 40-something woman told her unborn child suffers from Down’s, chooses not to abort. Presumably she is informed that such children are much more likely to have heart and other weaknesses which may cause difficulty at birth.
EddiesMom: “presumably”….on what basis do you presume to know anything??
Me: My assumption is that this ‘Doctor of the Year’ would inform her patient of all the pertinent facts re her high-risk pregnancy
————–
Me: At 8 months, said woman flies to Texas for some Republican conference
EddiesMom: Item #2: So what?
Me: So nothing, it’s just what happened
————————–
Me: Woman’s waters break. Although it is well known that this could a) be a sign of impending labour and b) expose the child to the possibility of infection, she carries on to present her 30 minute address.
EddiesMom: Item #3: So what? What evidence do you have that Sarah Palin placed herself at risk, and what evidence do you have that her choices caused any problems whatsoever?
Me: So nothing much at all – just the timeline. I do wonder why she did not seek immediate advice, given all the factors, but it’s not a biggie.
—————
Me: Phones small-town doctor in rural Alaska. Specifically DOES NOT ask for assurance that flying home will be safe.
Item #4: So, in your mind, small-town doctors in Alaska have inferior medical training and expertise than the doctors in Texas? On what do you base this presumption of yours? And who wouldn’t rather consult their own physician than a perfect stranger? And where did you hear the recording of that private call between a doctor and patient, so that you know exactly what was and what was not said?
Me: A consultation in person with a doctor who could examine her, do whatever tests necessary, would surely be preferable to a long distance call to her general practitioner. How about both – a conference call, maybe? The doctor in question was reported as saying Palin DID NOT ask for a formal clearance to fly.
————-
Me: Leaves city with the most modern neo-natal facilities in America. Boards plane without informing cabin crew of her condition, flies at 30,000 feet in a pressurised cabin for many hours (consulting a doctor in Seattle en route) to Anchorage. Leaves that reasonably well equipped city for a backblocks hospital with few or no specialised neo-natal facilities.
EddiesMom: Item #5: “backblocks hospital”? WTF?
QUOTE: The plane then made a landing in Anchorage, Alaska. Does Sarah then visit a medical facility that can accommodate a premature birth in Alaska’s most equipped city? No. She drives 45 minutes away, to Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, right outside the small village she used to govern as Mayor, Wasilla.
Me: Takes medication to induce the immediate birth of at-risk child.
EddiesMom: Item #6: Assuming your comment is even true, for the sake of argument, so what? Women are given medication to induce labor all the time. What makes this event so troubling for you?
Me: Not troubling to me. Simply evidence that either the the child must have been in danger or distress – why bring an already compromised child on a month early otherwise?
And to Walt: “Sarah Palin’s judgement when it comes to her children, born or unborn, are none of your business!” Are you kidding? If she can be that reckless with the life and health of her own child, how would she be when the decisions were about other people’s children? The troops, for example…
September 1st, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Alan, you are a piece of work. If you are going to disguise the meaning of your words behing “spin” then you have no place in journalism. Once a fan you the HC show, I will NOT watch it or another Fox program again. You have stepped over the line and should have your ass kicked!
September 1st, 2008 at 8:53 pm
All you women-haters out there who think she can’t be a mother and the Vice President at the same time – what century have you just come from? How dare you insinuate that a woman can’t do both. I thought all you liberal types were into women’s rights – that we CAN have both a career and take care of our children at the same time. What IDIOTS. What HYPOCRITES. How DARE you question any woman’s decision about how to take care of her body. You have no right to question anyone’s prenatal care – after all, it’s just a fetus, right?
IT’S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, ALAN COLMES. YOU ARE JUST A WASTE OF SPACE. HANNITY IS TWICE THE COMMENTATOR YOU ARE.
September 1st, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I guess the thing I have the most trouble reconciling is all of this “outrage” that Palin put her unborn baby in danger by her actions, when the people doing the bleating would have been perfectly OK with aborting him as soon as the diagnosis of Down syndrome was made. Or, if it was inconvenient for them to have a baby – whatever.
September 1st, 2008 at 8:55 pm
I’m looking forward to Sean Hannity setting you straight on this.
Why are Liberals so mean spirited?
September 1st, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Beside the fact that you’re a man questioning how a woman deals with her pregnacy you also showed total ignorance of the cause of Down syndrome. In other words you are neither a mother nor a medical doctor.
I’ve sat here for the last 20 months listening to Barack Obama’s minion and the media savagely attack Hillary Clinton and now the same people are attacking Sarah and Bristol Palin. I’m sick of it. I might vote for the McCain/Palin ticket just to get that glass ceiling out of the way and then work on getting Hillary into the Whitehouse in 2012.
September 1st, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Alan,
You seem quite retarded. Did YOUR mother take proper care of herself when she was pregnant with you?
I’m sure MSNBC will give you a job. They have plenty of room for journalists (and I use that term lightly) with no integrity. You would fit right in.
September 1st, 2008 at 8:59 pm
I find it truly remarkable the length you will go to, Scott, to question the family decisions or health decisions that someone else makes. As a man, YOU DON’T HAVE A FREAKING IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Of course,you are incapable of having a discussion on the issues, because SARAH PALIN IS TWICE THE ‘MAN’ YOU ARE. Stick to the issues, idiot. I could relate to you any number of second guessing on dozens of my friends about pregnancy and childbirth. Hindsight is 20/20. BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT THAT BECAUSE YOU ARE A MALE. Shut up. No comments from the peanut gallery.

Commander Poopster: Please Help
I was hoping to start up an Alan Colmes Brigade (in honor of the great man himself) to staff our PCB’s (Pregnancy Conformity Booths).
My plan is to staff them only with men, as women are obviously too close to the situation to be trusted to deal ‘appropriately’ (wink wink) with their decisions, poor misguided dears as so many of them are.
I have secured adequate vacuum cleaners and those sharp little things used to scramble their ‘burdens’ brains, as well as isolated linen closets, should the scrambling not take full affect for a while. That’s all cool.
Here is the problem: What should the Alan Colmes Brigade unit patch look like? I mean, the uniforms will be brows (duh!!), but do I really want to stick with the earth tones when blue is so closely associated with our party?
I know you are busy. Please forgive the trivial nature of this request.

September 1st, 2008 at 9:01 pm
This subject has nothing whatsoever to do with abortion, with Obama or Biden, with democrats in general, with Jesus, Bush or Satan. It is purely and solely to do with the judgement shown by this Palin woman in the last 24 hours of her pregnancy, and whether Alan was right to question that judgement.
Is that so hard for you people to grasp?

John McKee, you are a man, I assume. SHUT UP! You don’t know anything about pregnancy or having babies. You are a Neanderthal when it comes to your views on Palin’s personal decisions about her pregnancy.
Speaking of personal decisions and how they show someone’s abilities to make judgements, where were YOU when Clinton was getting services rendered in the Oval Office by Monica Lewinski? I can guarantee you were saying that was a personal matter and no-one else’s business.”It’s just sex.” Maybe if HE had spent those hours GETTING RID OF BIN LADEN, we wouldn’t be in the shape we are in right now.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Commander McKee,
Her judgement is surely flawed. We know that what she did was wrong and that her judgement is/was seriously flawed. But these neocon Rethuglicans will never get it. Not to worry, we will oversee their decisions once we obtain power. We can, AND WE MUST, protect them from themselves. It is our duty, and our right!

Biden’s lowlife,gender-based comment was expected. What is a surprise is revelation of the well-kept secret that Biden had 5 deferments from duty in Vietnam, the same number as Dick Cheney. Cheney has been beaten up about those deferments for 8 years, with even official operatives of the Democrat party refing to him as a “draft dodger” on television. What does that make Biden?
Also, bloggers on this site have referred to McCain’s 2 skin cancer removals (which caused him no hospital time) but apparently mention of Biden’s 2 brain aneurysm operations is not permitted. Why is that? Who will take over the role of foreign policy “saftey-net” for a totally inexperienced Obama should Biden be incapacitated? Will it be his “friends and mentors”,Ayers, Wright, Farakahn, Flager, or will Tony Rezko be out of prison by then?
September 1st, 2008 at 9:10 pm
I would prefer the judgment of a woman who knew when she needed medical care (via her doctor and experience for that matter b/c this was not her first pregnancy) than a guy who voted against care for an unborn child! Just apologize, Alan.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:11 pm
John McKee,
Since “this Palin woman” as you call her had gone through 4 pregnacies before the one in question I trust she knew her body better than the men denigrating her. Men need to realize that they do not control women nor do they control women’s bodies. So back off!
September 1st, 2008 at 9:11 pm

“It is purely and solely to do with the judgement shown by this Palin woman in the last 24 hours of her pregnancy, and whether Alan was right to question that judgement.”
Let’s see – called her physician – the one who knew something about her pregnancy, and got the OK – check. Flew home after phoning in from Seattle and getting a further approval – check. Had an uncomplicated delivery – check.
As I said – the ONLY reason to write the original post to was to try and suggest that improper prenatal care led to Trig’s Down syndrome.
How can you (or Brave Alan) presume to sit in judgment of Palin when you know nothing about the actual circumstances? The short answer – you can’t. Why is that so hard to understand?

Comrades, kindly allow me to suggest the uniforms remain brown, for the sake of our proud history. The Alan Colmes Brigade patch, for those serving in the PCB’s, obviously should feature a likeness of Alan Colmes- as a reminder of what might happen should the ‘misguided dears’ NOT conform.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:19 pm
For John McKee…
1. 40-something woman told her unborn child suffers from Down’s, chooses not to abort. Presumably she is informed that such children are much more likely to have heart and other weaknesses which may cause difficulty at birth.
Response: Just because a 40-something woman is carrying a child who may not stand up to Darwin’s survival of the fittest theory does not mean that child should be aborted. Did you know that these special children are generally some of the most loving human beings you could ever meet – they have no pretense, no agendas, no left or right political views… they just love and want to be loved. Should every woman diagnosed with cancer or other chronic autoimmune diseases — all of whom are high-risk pregnancies— should they be forced to abort their babies?
2. At 8 months, said woman flies to Texas for some Republican conference.
Response: Many women fly at 8 months, although I personally would not. The fact it was “some Republican conference” is irrelevant… some women fly at 8 months to go sit in an arena of 80000 people to hear a very accomplished orator at the culmination of the DNC… what’s the difference?
3. Woman’s waters break. Although it is well known that this could a) be a sign of impending labour and b) expose the child to the possibilty of infection, she carries on to present her 30 minute address.
Response: I hate to say this because I find your remarks to be contemptable to say the least but… This is probably the area where I tend to agree with you. When a nurse inadvertently broke my water, even though I was not in actual labor at the time, I had to stay in the hospital. Not only does the opening in the amniotic sac increase the risk of infection, depending on the amount of fluid that had leaked the baby is at greater risk of injury because the fluid also acts as a cushion. The thing is… you don’t know if it was a leak or a gush of water, therefore the gravity of the decision cannot be weighed. Of course as I say this I’m sure the next thing out of your mouth will be like what you posted yesterday … and I won’t even dignify it with re-wording it here… it was disgusting and shameful!
4. Phones small-town doctor in rural Alaska. Specifically DOES NOT ask for assurance that flying home will be safe.
Response: How do you know what she did or did not ask? There is this law called HIPPA… it precludes any conversation between a patient and doctor to be disclosed. If you have documented proof of a conversation, please post the source of this fact for our own education and enlightenment.
5. Leaves city with the most modern neo-natal facilities in America. Boards plane without informing cabin crew of her condition, flies at 30,000 feet in a pressurised cabin for many hours (consulting a doctor in Seattle en route) to Anchorage. Leaves that reasonably well equipped city for a backblocks hospital with few or no specialised neo-natal facilities.
Response: Again… not a choice I would have made but with regard to the “backblocks hospital”… may I remind you that women all over this world give birth in the most abhorrent of conditions. Most women prefer to give birth with her own obstetrician. If you’ve never given birth (and I can only assume you have not since I can’t say that I know that for sure any longer considering the Man-Mom that Oprah introduced to the world)… you have no clue of the trust between a woman and her doctor.
6. Takes medication to induce the immediate birth of at-risk child.
Response: This one shows your ignorance, John. If as you say the Down’s Syndrome increases the risk of heart issues and other weaknesses (as you iterate in #1), then it makes sense to induce labor. When a child is in fetal distress or is otherwise at risk (and I’m not inferring this child was!) expeditious delivery of the baby is much safer than allowing that child to endure a long labor process. There is no shame in having induced labor – in fact in the majority of instances it is the prudent thing to do.
To address the whole sad affair with the leftist blogs the last two days… I have never seen so much hatred in all my life. John, you need to grow up and learn to express yourself without calling people names. And yes, many of the conservatives here need to learn the same lesson. Debate isn’t about name-calling or ridiculing one’s faith (or even the lack thereof). Debate is about articulating your views, listening to the other side, then learning and picking the best of both sides of the political spectrum to build a country of true Americans. God help us if we don’t.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:19 pm
And another one pops his pointy little head out of the shell and is dazzled by the big bright world. Should we make a list, Guess Who? How about we start with the hypocrites who were baying for Clinton’s blood while taking care of their own grubby little affairs… Gingrich, Foley, the toilet-troller…
This has nothing to do with Clinton’s sexlife, with me being a man, with bin Laden (now that is desperate!) – it’s about the sort of judgement we want in the White House.
P.S. If I had to ‘Guess Who’, my money would be on Guber Pyle.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:23 pm
Alan–
Palin called her doctor prior to the flight. The doctor gave her the go-ahead to fly. End of story. You’re just trying to smear her because she’s a SUCCESSFUL REPUBLICAN WOMAN. That’s right. You heard it. You don’t like to acknowledge that women can break through the glass ceiling, because you’re so invested in VICTIMIZATION POLITICS and you don’t want to admit when a woman actually DOES succeed. Because you can’t blame meanspirited white, middle-aged Republican bogeymen anymore. You can’t lay failure at the feet of the GOP. Instead, we see the Democratic Party do everything in its power to tear down Hillary, tell her to quit, and push her off-stage so that you can put another one of your sacred cows up for nomination. Who stands up for women? Certainly not the abortion-loving Democratic Party. Abortion isn’t about providing choice. It’s about robbing people of the primary thing that makes them HUMAN. Life. How many millions of poor babies ended up as medical garbage this year alone? You libs make me sick. Do yourself a favor, Alan, and just apologize. Or put your blog post back up so that you can bear the weight of your own malicious pen. But you won’t do either. You’re a coward of the worst sort.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Dear John,
Speaking of hypocrites – as I said, you will defend Clinton to the end for his poor personal choice to trash the Oval Office, but you dare question the judgment of Palin in giving birth to her 5th child the way she did? Neanderthals all over the planet are cheering you on! Congrats for YOUR sudden appearance into the 21st century.
Guber Pyle? Isn’t he from Arkansas? Oh, wait, that was Clinton . . . .

Like the kind of judgment that associates with known domestic terrorists or attends sermons by a race baiting pastor for 20 years without noticing anything awry? THAT kind of judgment?
As for you being a man – well, that’s still just speculation at this point, isn’t it? Being male and being a man aren’t always one and the same, you know.

The number of abortions being performed in the black community has been slowly decreasing AND WE MUST NOT ALLOW THIS!
However, you do seem to have a talented eye. Your suggestion is a good one with much promise. I will forward it to Party Zentralkommando. I fear that my influence there may be on the wane.

You still don’t get it. It’s not how you said it or even what you insinuated with it. It’s that you said it at all. It’s not relevant. Let’s pretend that she could and did make a mistake to cause her infant to develop Down’s; did she abort it or did she step up to the plate, risk her life by giving birth, and then love the child regardless? She’s going to pay through the nose to raise and care for that life forever and yet you see a window of opportunity to question her judgement? If she had an abortion you’d call her a hypocrite, yet her having the child wasn’t a “truth to power” moment for you. You’d excuse any liberal for an abortion and praise them for the opposite. Conservatives are human beings too, dammit, and worthy of a consistent judgement. Ask yourself honestly; would you have brought this up if it was a liberal? REALLY?!? We all know you wouldn’t have and if you are capable of being honest with yourself for five seconds you would understand the outrage you have ignited. You simply cannot play the “hypocrite card” on every single conservative. She is clearly not one and is worthy of a personal apology from you.

Thanks Rise – someone worth debating at last!
Firstly, I hate abortion. In my opinion, it’s a woman’s choice, but I would always encourage them to take the adoption option, for their own sake as well as the child’s. I’ve never said she should have aborted and I take offense at the suggestion.
I was not making any judgement about her flying to Texas – that was just part of the timeline.
I was puzzled at the woman’s utter recklessness with her own and her baby’s health – still cannot fathom it, now that we know it wasn’t a cover-up for the daughter. I saw the ‘fundie abortion’ suggestion somewhere and thought, well yes, I guess that could be considered.
As you say, that flight was not a choice you or many women would make. And yes, women do choose to give birth in all sorts of places with various people to assist and have no problems. How about a 44 year old woman having a compromised Down’s baby at least a month early? Do you think getting the best facilities and the best neo-natal expertise would be a wise choice?
Don’t see your point about the induced birth – surely any child, particularly one with or without some nasty complications, is best in the womb as long as possible. The fact that she needed immediate induction indicates either mother or child were in distress and/or danger. So the situation from waters breaking/leaking to the long flight and the drive away from advanced facilities to a minimally equipped area hospital, was all against the backdrop of urgency. I didn’t say there was any shame in it – why on earth would I?
Think about it, Rise… and thank you for your considered response :)
September 1st, 2008 at 9:51 pm
Commander Livermoron,

September 1st, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Dear John,
As I’ve said before,YOU DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CHILDBIRTH OR PREGNANCY. If you did, you would know that inducing birth in the 21ST CENTURY is a very common practice. It usually has nothing to do with the health or wellbeing of the baby. That was true IN THE LAST CENTURY.
Again, your Neaderthal comrades are cheering you on! Keep putting your worthless 2 cents worth in. The hole is getting bigger and bigger.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:57 pm
Alan, here is your problem. First, knowing that their baby has down’s syndrome, the title of your blog implies that Palin caused this. Second, you quote someone who isn’t credible. In his blog he LIES about Palin not knowing what a vice president does. Anyone seeing the complete interview can clearly see that Palin is saying, ” someone better tell me what I’ll be doing that’s so important since I have a lot of work to do for the people of Alaska”.
You brought this on yourself for taking a cheap shot and quoting a liar. You deserve all the scorn you get.
September 1st, 2008 at 9:58 pm
The way I feel about your blogging/writing, Alan, is the same way I feel about your speaking – that is, I wish you’d stop.
September 1st, 2008 at 10:01 pm
Alan,
You’re right. Your post in no way said Palin’s water breaking was a contributing factor to her baby’s Down’s Syndrome. BUT it certainly implied as such — why else would you offer the original post in the first place if not to raise the possibility and suspicion of recklessness. It’s certainly not because there is any news value in what your post espoused.
Of course, I know you don’t believe one event (the water breaking) led to the other (mostly because the parents knew ahead of time that their baby was already positive for Down’s). But your partisan readers saw the red meat you fed them, and they devoured it — even as you carefully avoided using the words, “Down Syndrome.”
September 1st, 2008 at 10:06 pm
“First, knowing that their baby has down’s syndrome, the title of your blog implies that Palin caused this.”
That’s a lie Robert. Nobody but a complete ignoramus would imagine that a genetic problem could be caused by themother’s utterly reckless actions in the last 24 hours before birth. And who cares what morons think?
September 1st, 2008 at 10:07 pm
First, any sane person SHOULD hate liberals. They are a clear and present danger to our American way of life. They have been undermining the core values that our forefathers bore upon us 200+ years ago. Secondly, your statement that it is fair to question the judgement of someone seeking the Presidency/Vice Presidency is absurd in your context. When will someone from the liberal mainstream media “question” Obama’s past? Where are his records from being a community organizer in Chicago? When will the media discuss his relationship with Rezko and Ayers? What about all his 143 days in the senate before he ran for President? You are a joke of a journalist, I can’t stand watching you on TV and I turn off FOX news whenever your ugly face comes on. How dare you enter my household, you piece of vermin. Please inform your superiors of this. NOW GET OFF MY TV YOU BIG DOPE!!! Jackass.

LJGJR – the partisan readers you refer to were not Alan’s – we have never seen them here before. They were given a twisted version by their religious conmen leaders and sent here on a crusade of hate.
Clearly it was only the most ignorant that took up arms – one even admitted she hadn’t read Alan’s post (it was only about 100 words long, for God’s sake!) before she ripped into him.
The Down’s Syndrome thing is a complete red herring. What we question is the mentality of an older mother flying thousands of miles for the urgent, early birth of a compromised child – away from high quality facilities and specialist attention to a rural hospital with minimal facilities.

Commander, Newrekruit:
A note from Re-Edumacation Camp.
Things are great here. We are organized by victim status into small units where we study, study, study!
Gauleiter McKee is dreamy! He does not have a massive penis per the rumors…he is actually all penis.
The mockups of the Alan Colmes Brigade patch have arrived and, frankly, I was disappointed. They failed to capture his essence. For example, no spittle at the corner of his mouth. I sent them back for rework.
I fear that there may be something in the air. Perhaps a move on the Rethuglicans KKKonvention. I surmise that because stilts, clown suits, pink fuzzy wigs, and jars of urine have been coming in today. Looks serious, but I am ready for a fight. How dare those Repugs nominate such a poor excuse for a woman as VP. How dare she infest our civilization with yet another child! The Pregnancy Conformity Booth project must be completed immediately to stop other women from following her down that perditious pathway of personal responsibility. She was a beauty queen too you know. Disgusting.
We are going to shut them DOWN! I know my free speech rights!!
Ooops, there goes the siren…back to class.

John…
I apologize if I misread the abortion “insinuation”. Sometimes the written word is difficult to disseminate and with some of the remarks from yesterday’s posts I did make an assumption. I wasn’t intentionally trying to be offensive.
If I didn’t have so much experience from an ill daughter of my own I would usually say that the best facilities are preferred; however, we’ve had our daughter at The Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo at Rochester and the best care we’ve received to date is from a local doctor who pretty much shoots from the hip. However… I can see where you would arrive at your opinion.
As far as the inducing of labor, I was referring to the possibility of heart issues secondary to Down’s Syndrome and was merely considering the possibility of fetal distress, a situation where expeditious delivery of a baby even at 8 months would be desirable. Of course the reason the labor had to be induced was due ot the water being broken – there would have been no choice. I’m merely speaking from personal experience here and ONLY when maintaining the environment in the womb is not an option.
See… this exchange wasn’t so bad was it… and I’m even one of those lunatic Christbots! We’re really not all that bad! :)
And by the way… thanks for responding. I feel like I’ve been babbling on this one, so now it’s time for me to end my obsession with politics, say my prayers (and I’ll throw one in for you too!), and get some sleep.
God bless.

Alan,
Since jumping on board Obama’s bandwagon, you have morphed into a loud, angry blowhard. You don’t let guests get a word in edgewise. You are condescending. Your sarcasm has reached an all time low. What was in that kool-aid you drank? Whatever it was, it seems to have transformed you from a fairly decent human being into a mean spirited man. You owe Gov Sarah Palin an apology. Hell, you owe all women an apology! We won’t hold our breath.
September 1st, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Alan,
Unfortunately the hate mail you have been receiving is completely deserved. You, as a representative of the liberal media, will stop at nothing to smear the republican candidates. You do not have the right to judge Sarah Palin because of her decisions on her flight close to a speech. You personally show no respect for her, and what she has accomplished as a person. Acknowledge her courage for keeping a Down Syndrome child. Oh wait, you and your kind would have aborted that very child. Nevermind. You are an idiot.

I was really watching all the protesters on Fox just few minutes ago. Listening to the language they were using and looking at them raising their middle fingers at the cameras. A question occurred to me, how many of them do you believe have a history of voting Democrats as opposed to Voting Republicans.

Re to John McKee:
Typical: You accuse us of reacting without reading (which Alan made difficult with him covering it up in all), when in fact, many of us, on our own accord, HAVE read the original piece and yet we still came to the same conclusion that Alan is a despicable human being for making these insinuations.

By the way, John, you still have a question on the table -
If it was okay for Bill Clinton to get blow jobs in the Oval Office while he was President of the United States, (I think that might be considered very poor judgement on his part) why is it not okay for Sarah Palin to choose to fly home to have her fifth baby in her hometown with her own physician and family in attendance? (You claim that is poor judgement on her part)
September 1st, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Alan,
Don’t insult my intelligence. You implied that Mrs. Palin could be responsible for her child’s Down Syndrome. Your intention was clear.
I think you should seriously consider your own judgment. You owe Mrs. Palin an apology.
Part of me wonders if you even care. After all, this is the most publicity your blog has ever had!
September 1st, 2008 at 10:47 pm
relax everyone…… Having five kids and then running off to run the country is a little incompatible. Give the guy a break here….. I was a republican for a long time, I’m an alaskan. She really is NOT the real deal. You need to read more about her instead of harking on each other. Unless you own a mining company she doesn’t give a rip about you.
September 1st, 2008 at 10:49 pm
Clinton was stupid, as were Gingrich, Craig, Foley and all the rest of the holy roller hypocrites. McCain himself managed to break up two marriages for the same woman – her first before he went off to war and her second after he returned. No doubt about it, politicians are even worst than the rest of society at keeping it in their pants.
They have a much higher rate of greed and corruption also, way higher, especially but not exclusively on the right. I have to hand it to McCain for seeing the error of his ways after letting himself get ‘owned’ by the criminal Keating and trying to make up for it in the years since with the ethics reform thing.
But WTF does that all have to do with a woman recklessly endangering herself and her unborn child? Over to you, Guber…
September 1st, 2008 at 10:58 pm
Alan,
You’ve no one to blame but yourself — you went for a low shot, mis-fired and shot yourself in the foot.
You don’t even have the moral courage to keep up your mistake with a retraction, having thrown it down the memory hole, hoping that no one had the expectation of such a move and retained a screen image.
Keep spinning — it will warm you up for that moment you make sufficient of an ass of yourself for Fox to cut you loose to twist in the wind.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:02 pm
I’m really learning a lot this election. It’s shocking. I absolutely cannot believe you had the nerve to say this:
And part of that question of judgment has to do with life decisions that candidates make. In the case of Sarah Palin, it had to do with a choice to give a speech and then board a flight after contractions began and water began to break in the last month of pregnancy with her fifth child.
Is this for real? What the hell difference does it make to anyone regarding the medical decisions that this woman makes regarding her pregnancy? Hey Alan, it’s 2008, women get to make all sorts of decisions about their bodies now. I’m so pissed off about this, it’s absolutely appalling. Who is this guy? When he faces a decision similar to this, then I’ll listen to his obnoxious mouth. Until then, he needs to keep it shut.
I can’t believe I ever voted Democratic. This is insane.

Thanks Jo,
I cannot believe those coming to Palin’s aid who actually know nothing about her, just because she is female does not mean that every woman that would have voted for Hillary would in fact vote for her, we are all smarter than that.
I have never seen such language in these posts from conservatives that I am seeing now, I am actually stunned.
I even heard Hannity say, ” she is every women in America and she is just like my wife…..WOW!!!!
I know we are all separate individual women, I know no one whom would claim to think just like her, I think Hannity was a little excited making that statement.

Dear, dear John,
You still don’t get it, do you?
Whether Palin endangered herself and her baby really isn’t any of your concern. It has nothing to do with the issues at hand.
Sarah Palin has the right to choose where to have her own baby. As Alan’s original post admitted, she had called her own doctor in Alaska. You have no way of knowing what that physician told her. I think it would be safe to assume he knew her and the baby’s physical condition much, much better than you. I think if you were smart, you would just drop this issue. You cannot know enough to properly pass judgment on her.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:08 pm
Alan,
“What I did say was that it’s fair to question a person’s judgment if that person is seeking to be (Vice) President of the United States…”
Would you please post a “screen grab” or even a quote where you questioned the judgment of Bill Clinton for having sex in the Oval Office with a 22 yr. old intern while he was married and..oh, PRESIDENT of the US.
I seem to recall you defending his adultery, judgment, and subsequent perjury as “a private matter”.
And please! Please, try to make the moral equivalentcy argument that between the judgment of a POTUS and a 17 yr. old girl.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Alan, you are a dufus. Pre-natal care has nothing to do with DS – it a genetic disorder. You have no right to speak about anybody’s judgement – your own is clouded. Overall, your blog is not inspiring and not interesting. If anything, just knowing you support Obama will turn the undecided off – they will run to give their votes to McCain/Palin.
Oh, by the way, you are extremely annoying on the show. If you have nothing intelligent to say, just keep quite. What were you trying to achieve tonight asking Carl Rove if he called Biden a dufus? How relevant is this? Why are you taking up the time on the show? Could you please do us all a favor and resign?
September 1st, 2008 at 11:12 pm
Alan,
I am sorry that others have resorted to name calling and degrading you. You clarification is appreciated. However, I still believe the whole blog post is out of order. It really was an attempt at a low shot that just does not pan out. You yourself stated that she consulted with her doctor. That is the end of the question right there. If there was poor judgment, then it was the doctor. However, you and I do not, and have to right to, know all the details. Therefore, we CAN NOT make a judgment call on this one. No one who does not know all the details can, and therefore the whole question turns into not a seek for debate, but an attempt to put an opponent down. That is beneath you.

You may have given millions of women a reason to vote Republican this year by denigrating the judgment of a 5th time mom as to when she needed her doctor to assist in delivering her newborn. How many of our moms and yes, maybe your mom, delivered babies without any professional assistance? How does Palin’s timing decision relate to her professional capacity as a manager/executive. Has Obama any managerial/executive experience? Did he show good judgment in his choice of spiritual advisor? You owe not only Palin but many, many moms an apology and you have given us much to think about before we independents vote in November.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Alan,
My mistake, I referenced other liberal’s criticism of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, not your criticism of Sarah Palin’s judgment.
But my previous post stands…if you DARE to criticize Sarah Palin’s judgment, where was your criticism of WJC’s judgment? Again, please don’t try to compare the situations.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:20 pm
In Effort to show that you are not only a Professional Journalist, but a Fair and Balanced one at that. I would like you to run the same line of Questioning Regarding Senator Obamas Judgement during Michelle Obamas Labor and Delivery. I would like you to question whether or not Mr. Obama Smoked around Michelle during the pregnancy, at the time her water broke, or even at the time the Babies were each taken home since cigarette smoke is Extremely Dangerous to Babies.
Do you see where I am going with this?
I really don’t believe this is our business, as was it anyones business how Governor Palin handled her labor and delivery. This line of questioning should have been vastly below your standards and I am deeply dissapointed in you.

September 1st, 2008 at 11:22 pm
Who cares?
The real issue to me is why the left-wing press is so soft on Obama? He is too chicken to come on your show or O’Reilly. Why? Because he won’t have a teleprompter to give him a speach written by 300 consultants. We all saw how he fell apart at Rick Warren’s Disneyland Church in OC, CA.
What about that insane interview by 60-minutes last night where they asked him about bowling and drinking beer! What a joke. I’m sick of the interviewers acting ga-ga about an empty, weak suit. I’m also sick of stupid issues like a VP’s daughter’s pregnancy.
What about focusing on tough questions like “If Iran develops a nuke and has openly threatened to destroy Isreal, would you use force if diplomacy failed? Yes or no?”
“How are you going to deal with Putin and his mafia-style leadership where a dissenter today was shot in the head by the police & his body dumped?”
Etc.,
People, we need to wake-up and get serious about the problems the next president will face. We don’t need to worry about pregnant children or whether “The One”, Obama, is cool enough to drink beer like the common man.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Every womans Labor and delivery is different. And a woman who has had multiple births knows her body and symptoms better than a stranger sitting in front of a camera. There is a huge difference between spotting, Leaking, and Water Breaking.
Secondly How can you compare someones judgement at the time of labor and delivery to another point in time? Thats ludicrous. That would be like asking if you could make the same judgment call while you are under extreme stress and physical pain to when your not. It is simply not an accurate gauge.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:34 pm

Snoopdog – you are 100% right. Sadly, I believe that it is Senator Obama’s own campaign that is afraid to let him speak publicly without a script.
The Saddleback Forum may have been our one and only time we got to see both candidates speak candidly in this entire Election. And I never thought I would see the day when someone would fail a debate with themselves the way he did. The Multi Million dollar Campaign is hoping the American Public hasn’t noticed that we haven’t met the real man yet. Only the guy reading a telepromptor getting his answers fed to him in an earpiece.

You stated that she consulted with her doctor before travelling home. Also, as a mother of four, at that time, she knows how her body reacts during pregnancy. Knowing herself and with consent from her physician she choose to fly back. Trying to make a story about this that questions her judgment is just sad and beneath you. Besides, I thought you were pro-choice. You should be defending her right to choose if she wants to go to a hospital and use a doctor she does not know versus traveling home to be with her family, her family doctor, and the hospital she knows and trusts.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:42 pm
I wonder if Mr. “above my pay grade” would say the same about Palin’s choice to fly home and have her baby.
Call me crazy, but I like specifics. So far, I have heard none from Obama. I do like the one, though, where he says he will pass a bill to make the oil companies pay a windfall profits tax, and then use the money to send to the “middle class.” Of course, the “middle class” will need that money, because the first thing the oil companies will do is raise the price of their products to pay for the windfall profits tax! There’s nothing quite like living with your head above the clouds and totally misjudging human nature!
September 1st, 2008 at 11:49 pm
Alan you Stated”What I did say was that it’s fair to question a person’s judgment if that person is seeking to be Vice President of the United States, just as the judgment of the Obama/Biden ticket has been heavily questioned. And part of that question of judgment has to do with life decisions that candidates make.
==============
Ok Fair Enough – If this is your line of reasoning you need to do the following to get the Conservatives off your back.
#1. Show when and where you have questioned Obama / Bidens judgement in the same manner.
#2. Show When and Where others have Qeustioned Obama / Bidens judgement in the Same manner.
#3. Show Substiated evidence from the Medical Community that a womans ability to make serious judgement calls is the same during labor and delivery as it is when she is not in labor.
#4. Provide us, your viewers, listeners, and bloggers with evidence that you have the necessary background and training to ask medical questions pertaining to a womens gynocological needs.
Provide me with the above, and I will happily accept your spin.
Ps: Since it is life decision you are argueing here, I expect it to be like for like. You compare Sarah Palins labor and delivery to Senator Obamas and Bidens Decisions during labor and delivery.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:58 pm
Alan, Just the other night – you defended Obama’s stance on not supporting legislation that would have protected an infant’s life in the event of a botched abortion. You argued on Fox News that the law was unnecessary and wasted the services of another doctor since there was already a doctor in the room to make the decision concerning the life of the child (apparently the abortionist). Now sitting on your Liberal Throne, YOU consult a second doctor and question Palin and HER doctor’s original decision WHICH WAS CORRECT? What about the issue of a woman’s privacy? Oh – guess it only applies to Liberals and any woman who chooses to KILL HER CHILD.
September 1st, 2008 at 11:59 pm
John,
I think the term “utter recklessness” is being overused. But I digress. As far as a high risk baby staying in the womb as long as possible is best, once your water breaks, the baby is coming and there’s no stopping it.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:05 am
Since when do libs care about what happens to other people’s babies pre-birth? These “judgments” Ms. Palin made “are her own choice” under the “penumbra of rights” that make up the constitutional right to privacy. Sounds like the libs are telling a woman how to handle her “collection of tissue.” What a bunch of hypocrites.
Alan, it’s fun watching you squirm and retreat.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:16 am
Alan, you are a filthy liberal.
You said just what you meant to say insinuating she was to blame.
Then you claim I did not say that caused…
You play to the lowest common denominator in our society. The uneducated government dependent, and hope they listen to your words.
Your arguments on your show show you are uneducated. I guess that qualify s you to be speaker of the house.
I wrote news corp and all involved that you should be fired and will continue to do so.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:30 am
“And I usually let my work speak for itself.”
Evidentally, your work did speak for itself when you posted a malicious piece insinuating that Palin caused the down syndrome of her child. You’ve ignited a firestorm that has many people seeing your radical leftist views showing for what it really is, another leftist that speaks out of both sides of your mouth.
“… just as the judgment of the Obama/Biden ticket has been heavily questioned”
I had to laugh at that. I haven’t seen anyone on the left legitimately criticize Obam-uh/Biden for their judgement. Seems the left has zipped the mouths of those that would. The MSM sure hasn’t. About the only ones that have really scrutinized and rightfully so, the Obam-uh/Biden ticket are the right. So much for freedom of speech, tolerance and compassion from the left.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:32 am
Down’s Syndrome is a chromosonal anomoly of #21.
An extra one, or trisommey (?) 21. It is from the
moment of conception. Nothing either parent does
from that point on changes things. Having been
a friend’s labor coach when she delivered a Down’s
over 22 years ago, I can tell you what I told the
father then, “she’s more like a baby than a
diagnosis.” Other than helping the family get in
a physical and occupational therapy program within
two days, that child was treated like any other
baby in the first year.
It is surprising to me, that a media person such
as yourself, would be unclear in his comments.
Physicians warn mothers about plane travel, etc.
A woman having a fifth child and in good health
with no high risk pregnancies would perhaps be
giving more control. Especially living in a state
where air travel is a common for of transportation
and actually more reasonable than a long drive.
As an occupational therapist, I had patients who’s
physicians didn’t exercise common sense. One was
the daughter of a fraternal twin, at six months and
way beyond large who was allowed to travel across
country. Yep she delivered twins upon her arrival.
They had mild cerebral palsy and one was completely
deaf. That fact was discovered when I evaluated
them for therapy at three months. They had been in hospital for three months and no one noticed!!! The only fears humans are born with are fear of falling and loud noises. No response to noise should have been a
clue.
Please know that even “experts” and “professionals”
in medicine – a healing art – NOT a science – make
errors.
For a less informated lay public your comments might
have led people to think that one can prevent
Down’s Syndrome.
You also might not be aware that in less developed
areas of the world, women are out working, stop
and have their baby, and go back to work. True
infant mortatlity may be higher but a hugh portion
of those babies live. My sister reported seeing a lot
of that as a Peace Corps volunteer in Africa in the
early 60’s. Pregancy is not an illness. It’s a
condition. People are disconnected from the fact
that we are a species of animal. Look at how others
give birth on any nature program. True medicine can
increase survival but for a time it also made mothers
invalids.
Depending on age, and those below age 16 have the
same incidence and prevelance as those over 40,
Down’s is I think, 1 per 1000 live births. Spina
Bifida is more common at 1 per 700. Both conditions
can be detected with amniocentesis which has its
own risks. Many are, indeed, aborted.
I live in a rural area where people with Down’s
are kept in families and schools, church, and
integrated into our community. They get jobs
and are “mainstreamed” because they have never
been segregated. It is sad in this day and age
that lack of information on such a common condition
still exists.
It would have been lovely to hear someone say:
At this stage of his life, this baby needs his
PARENT’s and SIBLING’S love, cuddling, playing,
attention, talking, singing and handling perhaps
a bit more than a typical baby. As my friend said
after I told her we were putting her baby immediately
in a program, “we have to push her ahead so she doesn’t
fall behind.” But she was more like a baby than
like a diagnosis. A baby needs a family, not another
therapy group. Long after the therapists leave, this
kid needs a mom, dad, brother and sisters.
I believe that’s what I saw on Friday. I had no idea
this baby was atypical nor that his sister was
expecting.
I ask you please, be informed before you speak.
Google works really well. I’ve been an occupational
theapist for 40 years. My job was to treat KIDS,
and help them have typical experiencs, to have
success in school and play. It is sad that after all
that time and in spite of the push for diverisity,
disabilities are still so badly understood.
By the way, secondary to a brain stem tumor I have
lost my hearing and balance on my right. People
with hearing loss are perceived as stupid. Not paying
attention. We tout diversity and compassion but
rarely, especially in the world of cell phone, etc.
bother to SEE what we are around.
Good luck. Shirley Zamora, Onancock, Virginia

Geez. Don’t liberal nuts love to insert themselves between women and their doctors? Don’t libberals love to insert themselves in women’s reproduction functions.
The great myth is that liberals believe in personal freedom. They believe only in exploitings such issues.
There is so much liberal hate on the internet today. WOW! They are trying everything to destroy Sarah Palin before she addresses the American people. She’s a convincing talker and contrary to liberal news stories she is really popular in Alaska. My guess is that the left wing nuts are scared shi-tless.
I hope she points a finger at the left wing hate machine so every American can take a peek at the vile and ugly things that are being said.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:43 am
someone said …
“… she is every women in America and she is just like my wife…..WOW!!!!”
Well, she’s no Hillary, and thank God!
Sarah comes across as a woman who made it on her own and not by dragging on her husband’s shirt tails.
How very refreshing! Thanks John McCain. You made a great choice.
She IS like my own wife!

Please, for the sake of humanity, focus your criticism on subjects you know!!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:58 am
You said – “In the case of Sarah Palin, it had to do with a choice to give a speech and then board a flight after contractions began and water began to break in the last month of pregnancy with her fifth child.”
So you made a public statement based on second or third hand information, believing an unreliable comment from an unknown source that alledges that she took a flight “after contractions began”? I know you aren’t naive, so why would you make such a dangerous assumption before confirming this story?
Are you willing to state publically that you knew for a fact that her water broke and that you made your comments being certain that she was in labor?
The sad thing is, I’m writing this, and it will be posted on your little blog here, and you’ll never personally respond to me or answer my questions. It’s just another computer generated response to my letter. Take no responsibility for your actions.
And you can sit there on your TV show with a smile on your face, acting like you actually addressd the issue. Maybe you’ve actually convinced yourself that you have.
I almost feel sorry for you Alan.
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:01 am
I can’t believe McCain would pick a woman that would try and cheat her own child out of motherhood. She should be able to hold her own child in public and be able to admit it.
That’s what all of this hate mail you’re getting is about–to obscure the underlying integrity problem of the VP Candidate.
She can’t keep her own house; how do you expect her to keep the whitehouse????
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:07 am
So you asked some random doctor what he thought and then based on that questioned Palin’s judgment? Palin called her doctor, someone not only experienced with childbirth, but also with her, her constitution, and with what worked for them. Which is really better ‘judgment?’
All actions are less than perfect. Without some more information than you have given, Palin’s choice was at least as good as what you came up with. Random medical opinions such as you used are based more on avoiding malpractice suits than in the best care for the patient.
My children were all born at Stanford University Hospital, one of the finest hospitals in the country for child deliveries, indeed the world – and you can check that out. Yet I had no problem overruling what their doctors recommended based upon our own ObGyn and pediatrician’s knowledge.
Experts disagree. What is generally accepted practice can vary from year to year and be in absolute conflict with last year’s.
If I may say so, while Liberals have good intentions, their fawning devotion to the last expert opinion they heard is their greatest shortcoming.

For those who are concerned about the legs this smear might have,I just saw Alan’s book Red, White and Liberal at the local Dollar Store.
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:24 am
Alan – Perhaps it would be safer if you kept your nose out of other womens wombs……………….
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:31 am
Alan I love when you libs get caught with the left foot stuck in your mouth. Try this, be a man put your post back up and let us decide if your a turd or not.
September 2nd, 2008 at 2:55 am
Alan,
Please don’t let these vicious hate-filled emails get to you. These people are nuts — mischaracterizing what you say.
Good luck and god bless.
p.s. If we are trying to reduce/discourage teen pregnancies, isn’t it a bad idea to have a VP with a pregnant teen? Not a good role model.
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:09 am
The left implosion has already begun.Thanks to idiots like the bloggers on the Daily KOS and Colmes, McCain just sealed the deal!! or rather “they sealed the deal”!! Morons!!!
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:18 am
Dear Alan:
Your website is exactly what I would expect a liberal to do: Plain, simple and nothing of your own on it. All the work is done by other people and whatever value it has is not your work. Sean’s site shows some production, taste and effort.
I have a suggestion for the show: Could you and Sean get heavy-wet mops and let the other hit you with one when you or he says something stupid. You could do the show in rain gear as I am sure you would take mot of the hits.
Have a nice day and keep up the good work doing the clown on an otherwise serious show.
September 2nd, 2008 at 4:22 am
Why all the excitement about comments by Alan Colmes, the weird-looking stooge on Hannity and Colmes? His main function is to interrupt intelligent conversations to make ridiculous statements and then to again interrupt the reply when he’s shown to be a dupe. Colmes is nothing more than a straight man to Sean Hannity and an irritant to viewers. His opinions and comments shouldn’t be taken seriously. Really.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:28 am
There have been times when I thought you were somewhat fair for a lib. This little seraptitious attack on Gov. Palin is disgusting and rude. I know you deny it, why dont you ask your bloggers to knock it off though. Have some common sense Alan.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:36 am
Hello, its PERINATAL care!!! NOT Prenatal!!
By using the “prenatal” term, Colmes shot himself in the foot and opened himself up to huge criticism seemingly blaming Palin for her child’s Down syndrome.
But for those of you, like W who “don’t do nuance,” its like the difference between pre-game and during the game. Two entirely different things.
Colmes’ had to expect this kind of backlash, though by not being more specific. If you’re going to have the balls to post it, at least keep it up.

Susan: Didn’t Barack Obama say that family matters and children should be off limits? Wasn’t his teenage mother 3 months pregnant when she married Obama’s father? BTW, is there some question regarding Obama’s eligibility to run for President?
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:52 am
Nice backpedal, Alan. I’m sure you are a perfect parent who would NEVER stand for having a handicapped child, your parenting skills just wouldn’t allow it.
I hope you get fired for this.

Good Morning Kommander Livermoron,
We must not let this thread die! You tenure in the reedumacation as well as your bravery under pressure from John “The Penis” McKee is now legendary among our troops. I sense that you have been provided to us by God himself, as was Gustav, to help destroy the Rethuglican political machine! Tomorrow we roll! We are strategically placing bags of urine and feces throughout the both the interior and exterior of the Rethuglican KKKonvention and we are under strict orders to inundate both McSame and the slut Palin with such. Please keep me informed of your progress in reedumaction camp. I concur with your decision to send back our badges for redesign/reedumaction.
Your Friend and Comrade,
Commander Poopster,

I’m interested in Alan’s full disclosure of his medical condition’s so we can Monday morning quarterback about how many poor decisions he’s made regarding his health and how they have adversely affected his family. Hey, why not? Fair is fair, right?
Absurd, isn’t it?
I would think someone as liberal as yourself would view Sarah Palin’s decision to board a plane after her water broke with the same indifference as to whether a doctor vacuum-sucked the brain out of a viable infant.
Hey, I’m just sayin’…

Combs – you are an asshole. Period.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:18 am
Right wingers DO love to manufacture outrage, don’t they?
Do people over twelve years old REALLY think that to question one’s judgement to be vice president (and possibly president), is the same as denigrating her for having a Down’s Syndrome Child?
If we have a sizable number of people who believe THAT, we are REALLY in trouble.
NOW it seems we are to believe that the ONLY two choices are: admiration for teen pregnancy or ABORT ALL BABIES!
I take it back…This is too immature for twelve year olds.
McCain’s judgement is looking worse and worse.

Susan,
Your post is so breathtakingly ignorant it will be hard to reply to, but here goes.
1. You obviously are either not a parent or don’t have a teenager. Teenagers do stupid things. Some get caught and some don’t. If we held all parents responsible for all the dumb mistakes their children make, we might as well just give it up. Stupid statement.
2. As you are a lib, I guess the best solution you would have for the Palin family is for the teenage daughter to get an abortion, right? Explain to me how that
would be the best solution, as the Palin family is pro-life. Explain to me what kind of role model Sarah Palin would then be.
3. Did you watch the Democratic Convention? If so, did you not see Bill Clinton give a speech before his adoring minions? Was Monica Lewinski there? (You know, the one who performed so “bravely” for him in the Oval Office?) I hardly think you should be questioning anyone on which role models to pick.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:22 am
This is from a man that thought Bill Clinton having sex, in the oval office, and then lying about it was a private matter. Clarification of a statement that was ignorant to start with only serves to prove that Mr. Colmes is another liberal hypocrit. His pride in being both a liberal and a hypocrit speaks to his lack of character. What a great country, even a fool can make a good living and might even run for office.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:23 am
The fact that you are releasing an “edited” version of your comments proves that you are covering your butt. What you suggested was disgusting. I agree with a previous comment, you just replaced Mort Kondrake as the jerk of the week.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:31 am
Downs syndrome is unrelated to prenatal care. It is a genetic disorder and can not be cured by eating kelp or bowing to the east or whatever passes for “proper care” in this dorks mind. You could live in your obstetrician’s office with 24 hour nursing care and it would make no difference in the outcome of a child acquiring down’s syndrome. Now instead of an adroit commentator this guy just looks like the hate filled fool he is.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:35 am
Mr. Colmes,
You are a poor example of a professional. Part of your our original article was literally “Cut and pasted” from a copyrighted article in the Anchorage Daily News.
http://www.adn.com/626/story/382864.html
Even high school students know that is unethical.
September 2nd, 2008 at 7:52 am
You liberals are soul-less, mean, and only believe what you WANT to believe. I know several of “you people” and you’re all the same. You make up stuff to make yourselves look better, feel better, or make those around you feel worse. I do watch your show with Hannity every night, but mute the TV when you speak. It makes my blood pressure rise with the uneducated, stupid, remarks you so blindly make. Happy lying…..
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:04 am
Come on, it’s really all about Hussein Obama isn’t it? The facts are, as I heard them from Ohio last Friday; “Taxpayers for Obama are like chickens for Colonel Saunders.”
Another good remark from last Friday: “We need a workhorse in the White House not a “Show Pony.”
Hussein certainly qualifies as a show pony doesn’t he?
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:07 am
I cannot believe your ridiculous, sexist comments. Perhaps you need to do a little reading about Downs, and have you ever heard of compassion?
September 2nd, 2008 at 8:08 am
It’s official:
The GOP have COMPLETELY morphed into EVERYTHING they despise!
The more posts I read, the harder it is for me to see even an OUNCE of sincerity comming from the right.
They are REALLY like the twelve year old who lies about where they were, gets drunk, steals a car, CRASHES the car….
And is STILL trying to tell the parent that if you don’t let stay me home alone, it means ‘You HATE me and wish I was NEVER born…HARRUMPH!”
I’m sorry, but they have lost ALL right to ANY moral high ground a LONG time ago.

Allen Crum: You do your best to backtrack like most extreme liberal left nuts do when they are caught. Where were you when Clinton was doing “funny things” with a cigar with Monica? Where were you when he was leaving “spots” on her dress? Where were you when he sat their telling blad face lies to the American public about her; time after time? You were right at his side, defending him like a stupid lawyer telling us all what a good guy he was, and he did nothing wrong. You are one sad excuse for a human, and such a black-hearted liberal jerk. You love to pick on 17 year old girls, do you? How very, very sad!

Republicans have NO moral highground to talk about ANYONE.
I don’t know if you can find a list of liberals or Democrats this long, but the point is that Democrats believe that ‘moral and family’ values should be left up to individuals and families, and is not the purview of the government.
• Republican sex offender & Missouri State Rep. Scott Muschany, (R)-Frontenac, was indicted today, Aug 6, 2008, in connection with a reported sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl on May 17, the day after this year’s Legislative session ended. The alleged victim is the daughter of a state employee. The girl’s mother and Muschany, a married father of 2 children, were romantically involved, the woman said. (Aren’t “Family Values” a wonderful thing?) In a morbid twist of irony, Muschany was a co-sponsor of legislation that toughened sex offender laws in 2006. According to his legislative biography, Muschany and his wife were licensed as foster parents with the Division of Family Services.
• Republican sex offender & longtime stalwart Republican operative Peter Hong was arrested July 23, 2008 for solicitation of prostitution. Police spokesman Peter Panos said that the arrest came during the first day of a two-day sting operation during which “johns” and prostitutes responded to ads placed on the Internet and in print. Thirty-five people were arrested Wednesday and Thursday, Panos said today.
• Republican sex offender & candidate for Mineral County (W.Va.) Commission Wilton Frederick Bland, 30, of Bayberry Place, was arrested March 23, 2007, after police received a complaint concerning a juvenile boy who said Bland had wanted him to appear nude on the Internet. Bland charged last year with 136 counts related to sexually based crimes against children has been sentenced to a possible total of 85 years after pleading guilty in both Grant and Mineral counties. was charged at the time with 73 counts of possession of child pornography, 45 counts of sexual assault in the first degree for allegedly having sex with a child under age 11, nine counts of use of obscene matter with intent to seduce a minor, seven counts of display of obscene matter to a minor and two counts of employing a minor to do sexually explicit conduct, according to the West Virginia State Police.
• Republican Delegate Robert McKee, known as an advocate for children’s rights, is the focus of a child pornography investigation after officers searched his Hagerstown, Md home. McKee is not facing any charges right now, but as of today, Feb 15, 2008, he has resigned his position as both a state delegate and as executive director of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Club of Washington County. In a statement, McKee said he is entering treatment to, “get well and stay well.” Shock waves echoed through Hagerstown, as the news that he was being investigated for child pornography spread like wildfire.
**We will be keeping an eye on this story for further developments**
• Republican sex offender & Department of Children & Families press secretary Al Zimmerman, 40, was arrested Friday, Feb 1, 2008 and charged with eight felony charges of using a child in a sexual performance. According to an arrest report, Zimmerman offered two teens money in exchange for photographing them in sexual acts. The victims were ages 16 and 17 at the time of the crime, and at least one may have been in the care of DCF at one point, according to the report. Authorities believe some of the images date back to December 2005, the arrest report showed. Zimmerman is suspected of taking photos as recently as Friday, the report showed.
• The Republican Mayor, who is also the Pastor of the Temple Lot Church in Collins Missouri, a town in St. Clair County, is accused of trying to convince someone whom he thought was a teenage girl to meet him for sex. Diamond police say Allen D Kauffman is charged in Newton County with four counts of enticement of a child after an online investigation that began in mid-November.
Diamond Police Detective Jim Murray says he posed as a 13-year-old girl named Cindy and was approached by a man who used the screen name duke dukeadk on Nov. 15 about noon in an online chat room.
Murray says Kauffman discussed meeting her to take nude photos and to have sex. Over the course of seven conversations during the past two months, transcripts show each chat was sexually graphic. Murray say Kauffman recognized the girl’s age, and even showed some hesitation, teasing the girl about whether she could be a cop.
Police say Kauffman repeatedly asked the girl to use a webcam, and didn’t wait long to use his. The detective saved some photos from a webcam on Kauffman’s computer in his home in Collins.
• Republican Party Chairman Donald Fleischman, 37, of Allouez, Wisconsin was charged last month with two counts of child enticement, two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child and a single charge of exposing himself to a child for allegedly fondling a 16-year-old Ethan House runaway and providing the boy with beer and marijuana late last year.
• Republican U.S. Justice Department official John David R. Atchison, 53, an assistant U.S. attorney from the northern district of Florida, has been arrested on suspicion of traveling to Detroit over the weekend to have sex with a 5 year old child. An undercover officer posed as a mother offering her child to Atchison for sex, according to police. In deposition, detectives said Atchison suggested the mother tell her daughter that “you found her a sweet boyfriend who will bring her presents.” The undercover detective expressed concern about physical injury to the 5-year-old girl as a result of the sexual activity. Detectives said Atchison responded, ” I am always gentle and loving; not to worry, no damage ever, no rough stuff ever. I only like it soft and nice.” The undercover detective asked how Atchison can be certain of no injury. He responded, “Just gotta go slow and very easy. I’ve done it plenty,” according to detectives.
**UPDATE: John Atchison has killed himself. Detroit police confirmed Atchison’s suicide death at 10:14 a.m. Friday, Oct. 5, 2007. Good riddance, scumbag!

• Republican Homeland Security deputy press secretary Brian J. Doyle , 55, was arrested Tuesday night, April 4, 2006 and charged with trying to “seduce” a 14-year-old Polk County girl with graphic talk over the Internet. On March 12, Doyle contacted a 14-year-old girl whose profile was posted on an AOL Web site, according to the Sheriff’s Office release. Initially, detectives thought Doyle was posing as someone working for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. But they soon learned otherwise when he sent a picture to the girl over the Internet wearing an official “DHS tag”, Judd said.

Old Lefty,
Until you provide sources for all these cases, let’s not even discuss them. Besides, if you want play that game, should we start with a man named Bill Clinton…?
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:40 am
Alan, thanks for the note, but I’m amazed how you can question her judgement, yet never question the judgement of the ‘pro choice’ side of your party, their ‘judgement’ which most of the liberals in the country agree with , is the right to end a human life. You took a cheap shot and aren’t man enough to admit it….very disappointed!
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:43 am
for all you right wing conservative bible thumpers who would love nothing more to bas a liberal or and independent thinker; can kiss my hairy A. to mr Rick James, you still on the fact that Clinton got a BJ in the white house, just a like a true republican not to focus on the preset or the true problems that plauge this country. Where were the republicans before 9/11 that’s right stealing votes out of the supreme court. Where were the republicans after 9/11 thats right in a country that Bush said there was WMD’s (WRONG) where was the republican party before and after Katrina? and now Gustav being a cat 2 storm they all rush down there for the perfect photo op. taking valuable resources away so they can have there security and pull local law enforcement away and be protected, and so now you all can have your republican little party and bash everyone who doesn’t conform by your standards being, arrogant, Evangelical, bible thumpers, able to pop out at least 3 kids, and a HYPORCYT. You know all to well that if the shoe was on the other foot all you bible thumpers out there would be all over it like white on rice; so lets call a spade a spade…
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:43 am
This was fun for awhile, but like dealing with people out of the middle ages, you just waste your time trying to be rational with liberals. I’ll try again in 16 years that’s after 8 years of McCain and 8 years of Palin they should literally be foaming at the mouth by then. At least they will be happy, miserable but happy to have something to whine about!
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:51 am
S R Larson,
My list comes with links to mostly newspapers.
They don’t let you post a lot of links here…(overwhelms the spam filter.)
Here is the link to the website which provides the list complete with links to their sources.
http://www.republicansexoffenders.com/
And Bill Clinton had sex with a consenting adult, AND he never presented himself as our moral better like Republicans who cheat do.
My point is that for Republicans, “moral and familyvalues” is NOT for them, it’s just to manipulate the We the Little People, while they party on and steal the treasury.
September 2nd, 2008 at 9:58 am
Alan: I am stunned by the crudeness of the posts here. I can understand why folks object to you post. I understand why some folks like Palin. But I can’t grasp what makes folks so filled with bile and bitterness that they attack you (and by extension all who engage in political conversation) so violently.
This is my first visit to your blog but won’t be my last. I am sorry that you have to take such personal attacks just to express you opinion — an opinion that I will now pay more attention to.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:05 am
Alan,
Your attack/comment was far too personal.
You cannot be forgiven for attacking the judgement of a pregnant woman. Only she knows how her body feels at the time of her decision. Your second guessing is typical of the stupid commentary we are used to getting from left wing kooks.
You are not a MD or qualified to intrude on a woman’s decision at childbirth.

The Democratic Party is having its soul shredded by left wing activists who think winning justifies anything. Shame on Alan Colmes – you may delete your original post but people will always remember what vile thoughts you harbor. I find it rather sick that the worst attacks by radical liberals appeared to be reserved for women.
September 2nd, 2008 at 10:45 am
I have never been so embarrassed by my democratic party as I have this year; they shoved an inexperienced, sexist, racist nasty person down our throats. I know you need to defend the party and stick up for it, as you need two sides on your show,but this year I can not morally vote for the democratic side. Your comments are out of line. Babies with Down Syndrome is still a mystery…you are not a doctor…it is not up you to judge……it is something the REV WRIGHT would say

Alan,
Please, when you become pregnant, I will listen to you talk about judgment and decisions to make regarding your pregnancy.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:04 am
Alan: I would call you stupid for the utter uncaring and senseless comment about Sarah Palin’s baby. However, stupid means unintelligent which you are not. Ignorant is the better word choice. The vitriol of all parties must cease and all of us can get to the heart of the Nation’s real issues. For a mamber of the left to be so concerned about a mass of cells in a woman’s body is being hypocritical. Let a woman decide. That’s what the left says and that is what the left should subscribe to.
You know the baby was born with a genetic disease that was known early in the preganancy yet Sarah lived up to her beliefs. Why don’t you live up to your beliefs and stop this type of shock-ad journalism.
September 2nd, 2008 at 11:08 am
Let’s see, she spoke with her doctor. So another doctor with absolutely no knowledge of her situation can tell better than a doctor who is involved with the mother.
Alan, it just proves what a hypocrite you really are. Oh yeah, your an apologist too (I have the floor and you cannot interrupt me with nonsensical questions as you usually do.
Please learn to debate properly. Your an obviously intelligent man and I like to hear your opinions (keep your enemies closer…) but your techniques of asking nonsensical questions and, quite frankly, absurd questions makes you look like an idiot.

Shouldn’t John McCain be listed here with all of these men and Clinton? after all he had an extra marital affair with a young woman named Cindy when he was what 43 and she was 24 if that! he was married to a woman severely challenged by an auto accident, great choice of judgment, leave your wife who stuck with you while you were in Viet Nam and when she became disabled and needed him the most he is GONE to younger STUFF.

And Bill Clinton had sex with a consenting adult, AND he never presented himself as our moral better like Republicans who cheat do.
My point is that for Republicans, “moral and familyvalues” is NOT for them, it’s just to manipulate the We the Little People, while they party on and steal the treasury.

This has been my thoughts exactly, I am shocked at the language temeperment of the moral minority displayed on this blog. Good point made, they expose whom they really are.

Face it Alan, this blog format just doesn’t work for you. Stick to television, where you can ask people questions and constantly interrupt them as they try to answer you…
If you’re going to speculate about the source of certain individuals’ medical conditions, why not start with your own hypogonadism?

When you have a baby Alan – then you should comment.
Plenty of women work right up to the minute they give birth & it’s her 5th baby – not her first – so it’s not like she lacks experience.
IMO, it’s preferable for a Mum to give birth at home with a Midwife – not in the hospital.
It’s a normal, natural thing – not a disease.

If those are your comments Alan then you belong on liberaland like all the others.
Maybe instead of clarifying you comments, THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE! That’s the point, only in Liberaland they just don’t understand that.
One of the many differences between a liberal and a conservative is the conservative takes the higher road. Please take my advise and go to MSNBC where you will be cheered as a conquering hero and you can speard your filth in peace.
September 2nd, 2008 at 12:25 pm
I watch your show everynight. You have made me look at both sides of each issue that you and Sean discuss. You’ve made me question the way I felt about lots of the issues. Even if I didn’t agree with your politics, I still thought you were basically a decent human being. I’m sorry but I do not feel that way anymore. Why is it OK for liberal women with children to work, but when a conservative is a working mother, you question her abilities as a mother. And as far has her daughter is concerned, wasn’t Obama the product of an unwed mother?
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:41 pm
Georgina:
It isn’t because Palin’s daughter is pregnant – we don’t care about that. We take issue with the hypocracy. She is from the republican party, which boasts they are the “moral majority”. I’m not very religious, but I understand that having children out of wedlock is a sin.
September 2nd, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Mr. Colmes,
Thank you for the automated reply to my email.
Sir, your innuendos are far more nasty and hurtful than simply spitting out the words like a man who doesn’t mind standing by what he’s saying. By using innuendos instead of honest words, you can have an out by saying: “Oh gee, that’s NOT what I said. You must be reading a far right wacko web site! That’s not my problem.” NUTS.
You fully intend for people to think exactly what they have been thinking. Only a mealy-mouth, inadequate person who enjoys stiring up trouble and sitting back to laugh about it pulls stunts like that.
My prayer for you today is that God will change your heart and that you will take it upon youself to educate yourself about Down’s syndrome as well as prenatal care. You must make a public appology on your show for your uneducated comments and insults to all parents of Down’s syndrome children and every mother you have insulted. I also pray that you will go out and work at Special Olympics or do other work for Down’s syndrome children. Don’t insult them by throwing money as a donation at them to make up for your insults either. Get out and get to know them. If you can’t do that, you are neither an honest or real man.
Conservatives, knock off the cursing and insults. Fly on logic please, not emotion. You are better than that.

I see my post is gone – no profanity, no mindless raving, merely pointing that an inferred slur can have the same desired effect as a direct one. Also pointed out the use of Saul Alinksy’s Rules for Radicals by the left and how by becoming informed about the “Rules” and tactics, people can learn to diffuse and defeat the radical lunacy that is the modern far left. It was a lengthy post but I notice a post by Posted by TDro that is every bit as long if not longer. The question at hand is where did my post go?

“I’m not very religious, but I understand that having children out of wedlock is a sin.”
Well then there must be an awful lot of sinning going on around the place – what about all those Hollywood types who support the Democrats?
Then there’s a whole lot of half-baked kids, whose Parents try to pass them off as Premature.
Of course no Parent wants their child to become a Mother at such a young age – but it’s already a done deal – so why malign the child.
People should mind their own business & leave the daughter out of it.
What child wants to look back in 17 years & see this garbage written about them & their parents?
I find it ironic, that you excuse your criticism by talking about morals.
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:13 pm
If you really delve into why there is teen pregnancy you will find most parents away from the home too much, children being unsupervised, children needing love and attention, very few young women do it for satisfaction sexually, it is a need of love and affection that leads to early teen sex, emotions of being valued in the family are absent, many kids have no idea why they are having sex but they want and need the value and attention they get from petting with a young man.
Speaking of which, how old is this young father to be? Is he committing statutory rape if he is an older man or is he too a teen, when Palin introduced her family to the public Friday I wonder why if she were so proud why did Bristle covered herself with the baby blanket and why was it not announced ” and we are proud to announce the upcoming birth of our first grandchild…I wonder also if Bristle received the early prenatal care that she should have been receiving! My personal thoughts due to the way this was played out was that it was a surprise for all involved.
Hollywood is Hollywood and they will always make their own rules right or wrong but our first family needs to be able to take care of their first family before they take care of the American people whom are their second family, since McCain is in his 70’s it is important to know that Palin could very well become the president during McCain’s term.
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:43 pm
In point of fact, Ms. Palin may have indeed contributed to the fact that her child has Down Syndrome by her own choice. Getting pregnant after age 35 (conservatively speaking) much less after 40 (liberally speaking) could defintely. Thois could in fact be perceived as a significant error in judgement.
September 2nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I agree Comrade Webster. Ms. Palin should have know enough to abort this abomination, then we would be able to acknowledge her superior knowledge. The fact that she had the audacity to choose to get pregnant and then to keep this retarded thing shows that her judgement is flawed and once again affirms our superior intellect and that of our wondrous Socialist Baby Killer Party (aka Democratic Party). In acknowledgment of your superior judgment I hereby levitate you to the rank of Assistant Kommander. Yes indeed, eight years is enough and we are the change that we have been waiting for!

Alan you are still a dumbass! You “choice” people state that what goes on between a doctor and a woman should be off limits ~ except when she’s conservative, right? This was between Sarah and her doctor.
I still think you should have left that post up. Why don’t you be a man and put it back up so that we can see ALL of your post? Obviously, you are spinning right now. Chelsea was off-limits, same for Al Gore’s son caught driving reckless before the election. But you can’t say the same for the Bush girls and poor Mary Cheney, you guys should be ashamed. I’m disgusted and feel even more ready to vote for McCain/Palin. You have fired up the sleeping conservatives. Good job!

Alan – Don’t apologize! Your comment was spot on. I was thinking the same thing.
September 2nd, 2008 at 5:52 pm
Obviously Alan, et al, have never given birth; the ignorance of questioning the judgement of a mother who had gone through labor FOUR times previously is astounding. She was in contact with her Dr., she was calm and collected, she was well within the 24 hour standard for delivering post water breakage, she was NOT IN LABOR…and even upon returning to Alaska (and had to be induced 12 hours later)…. Sorry, libs, you are waaaay out of bounds here. YOUR judgement (or lack thereof) is what is in question.
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:00 pm
Honestly, who cares? Many women go to work days after their child is born… others choose to give up everything to stay home. Does it really matter? Why are the Democrats always about women’s rights and ‘equal pay’.. etc.. etc… and then when there is a successful, smart, experienced woman who is nominated for such a high national position like Sarah Palin for VP, she is suddenly criticized for “leaving” her family? What about Obama? BOTH parents work long jobs in his household and all Michelle can do is tout that ‘at least her mother cares for the kids’…?? I really don’t care what they do – but – same for Palin. You Democrats tout the ‘working woman’ and want to subsidize mandatory pre-K programs and more daycares.. and then you complain about a woman with 5 kids seeking the office of VP because she’ll be away from her family? Talk about hypocritical!
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:04 pm
You are scum Alan. You know you stepped over the line. You have not apologized. From watching your tactics on TV I knew you had no manners…now we all know you have no scruples. Sarah Palin is a better man than you are. If you ever get to interview her I hope she breaks you in two.

Bob Austin,
Spare us the phony outrage!
You people sound like bratty children, especially with what has come from YOUR side:
Former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett: “[Y]ou could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down.” [Salem Radio Network's Bill Bennett's Morning in America,
Rush Limbaugh on the kidnapping of peace activists in Iraq: "I'm telling you, folks, there's a part of me that likes this." [The Rush Limbaugh Show,
Radio host Glenn Beck: "[Y]ou know it took me about a year to start hating the 9-11 victims’ families? Took me about a year.” [Premiere Radio Networks' The Glenn Beck Program,,
Fox News host Sean Hannity ,two months before the November midterm elections: "This is the moment to say that there are things in life worth fighting and dying for and one of 'em is making sure [Rep.] Nancy Pelosi [D-CA] doesn’t become the [House] speaker.”
Beck: “Cindy Sheehan. That’s a pretty big prostitute there, you know what I mean?”
Coulter on Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI): “They Shot the Wrong Lincoln.”
Nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage: “That’s why the department store dummy named Wolf Blitzer, a Jew who was born in Israel, will do the astonishing act of being the type that would stick Jewish children into a gas chamber to stay alive another day.
Beck: “Blowing up Iran. I say we nuke the bastards. In fact, it doesn’t have to be Iran, it can be everywhere, anyplace that disagrees with me.”
Coulter responding to Hardball host Chris Matthews’ question, “How do you know that [former President] Bill Clinton’s gay?”: “I don’t know if he’s gay. But [former Vice President] Al Gore — total fag.”
Rush Limbaugh calling Iraq war vet Paul Hackett a “staff puke,” claiming he went to Iraq “to pad [his] resume,” and attacked him as “a liberal hiding behind a military uniform.”
September 2nd, 2008 at 6:30 pm
In typical liberal fashion, you pull tail and run. You censored the content on your blog because you were pointed out as a scumbag. So instead of showing any integrity, you take the liberal path and spin away.
Nice to see you do the typical liberal “Do as I say and not as I do” that we are use to from the left.
I would also LOVE to see how obamasiah is going to pay for and implement all of this “change” he keeps talking about. Talk is cheap, actions are were the proof is documented. Let’s look at the dem controlled congress.. WORST RATINGS EVER RECORDED… Now we see why you lefties aren’t bashing bush with the poll numbers like you have for the prior 7 years.

Comrade Colmes,
We must work on disseminating the following new information on that disgusting Ms. Palin which has just come to light….
Dateline, September 3, 2008, New Palin Scandles Detailed….
“There is solid evidence that Sarah Palin may have been fully naked (aka nude) at certain times during her term as Governor, may have worn scandalous lingerie at other points, and may have even engaged in wild sex acts in private that would be positively scandalous in public. Although the full details are still unavailable, it’s come to light that Sarah Palin repeatedly exploited a blue-collar Eskimo worker for her own private amusement in the bedroom, and that she had sex with him on at least four separate occasions. It’s also well-known in Alaska that Sarah Palin got pregnant by a young snowmobile racer (see photo at right). (The snowmobiler openly admits he is the father of Palin’s child. Palin claims her husband “Todd” is the father.)
The allegations don’t stop there. In the course of our investigations, we have uncovered that there are very credible allegations of topless dancing, moose-tipping, mooning, miscegenation, murder, Mormonism, racketeering, racism, favoritism, flatulence, “Fairbanks hot plates,” goobery, global warming, oral sex, orgies, onanism, Catholicism, conspiracy, carbon emissions, corruption, cronyism, cover-ups, climate change, cohabitation, cornhole, usury, short-sheeting, smuggling, satan worship, Santaria (aka “voodoo”), infidelity, whistle-blowing, animal sex (including bestiality), astigmatism, abortion, prostitution, polyamory, peeing in the snow, papism, pornographic (aka “porn” or “sex”) videos, embezzlement, bribery, battery, barratry, bigotry, buggery, backroom dealing, nepotism, nihilism, nudity, dildos, and various gay / lesbian activity (i.e., sodomy) taking place in Alaska, the very state Sarah Palin promised to clean up.
There are credible claims that Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie and Pat Buchanan have each visited Sarah Palin’s state on at least one occasion—and engaged in who knows what sort of illicit and/or racist behavior while they were there. The Pat Buchanan allegations are particularly disturbing, owing to the fact that the Alaska governor had full knowledge of Buchanan’s travel plans and allowed Buchanan safe passage into and out of Alaska without even detaining or questioning him. Some claim that Buchanan was even granted “protection” by Alaska state police and local law enforcement. If any state or local law enforcement officials made any formal requests for authorization to capture or kill Pat Buchanan, such requests fell on deaf ears, and were very likely suppressed at the very highest levels of government. Was this the real reason Michael Wooten and Walter Monegan fell out of favor with the Ice Queen? Were they threatening to blow the whistle? I suspect this is just the tip of the iceberg.”
Comrades, we must put a stop to this woman before she destroys what little we have left of Americas morals and we must stop her NOW!

Alan the way I see it, it’s very simple:
The next time YOU find youself in labor, you will then be free to question Sarah Palin’s actions concerning her pregnency. Until then I’d keep the opinion of women’s labor to yourself.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:24 am
Any real man would rather have a babalicious bit like Sarah around the office than some Hillhag. That’s just life. John just stood up for men’s rights. The sooner we get back to reality and forget the 60s and 70s and the yowling women that filled them, the better.

As stated earlier by someone- ALAN IS COMPLETELY IGNORANT OF DOWN”S SYNDROME- it is a genetic condition and has nothing to do with pre-natal care. His ignorance underscores his sexism. Women over 40 are at a higher risk of having a child with Down’s Syndrome- common knowledge!!! She practices what she preaches, she had the baby- a baby that is valuable and unique. She doesn’t balk at hardship and takes responsibility for her actions (have sex and get pregnant? you have a baby).
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 am
Our friends had a Down’s Syndrome child and one of the contributing factors, they were told, could have been “old (deteriorating) sperm”, due to the couple’s decreased sexual activity. Both were over 40.

When I watch Hannity and Colmes, I mute the sound when you are speaking. You are always rude and obnoxious. This last brouhaha takes the cake.

Saakashvili claims that Russian troops are massing against Georgia on the South Ossetia border. DOD indicates an uptick in Russia-China chatter. ELINT has confirmed movements of Chinese ZTZ99s and AFSATCOM has been activated and tied into EU BG command and control, first responders. Ushakov is waiting at State. He reports that Putin is quote-unquote “unavailable,” basically gone fishing. Oh, and Syria has scrambled and appears to be testing Israeli air readiness. The Secretary of Defense has just arrived.

That article accusing Sarah of poor pre-natal care is still an ugly, ignorant smear attack. The person who wrote it did not know the facts and you knew even less. Sarah Palin is loving mother to a handsome family of five. To attack her pre-natal care as a criticism of her VP qual is beneath contemptable. You have continued a machine gun style smear campaign which reveals everything about the left. No God no boundaries.
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Sorry Alan, I did read your post and you implied that she harmed her unborn baby causing Trig to have Down Syndrome. Again shame on you, you got caught and now you don’t like it. So sad to bad get over it.

Probably…
Maybe when America finally becomes a Third World country, then the people will finally wake up to this nonsense…..

September 3rd, 2008 at 9:25 pm
DANNY,
First, I didn’t ask a question. So I can’t ask the same one of Obama. You’re apoplectic because you know in your heart that the idea of President Palin is patently ridiculous.
Does Obama “believe in the military?” I’m sure he believes it exists…. because he serves as a member of the Senate Veterans Affairs committee and the Senate Homeland Security Committee. You should do your homework before you open your ignorant right-wing trap.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:06 pm
6 months ago you changed. You started speaking over people, and seemed to change gears. I noticed it because for several years I thought you did a good job, then when it started to seem like Obama may win, you seemed to get meaner. Either it is instructions from management to liven up the show or you just turned into an ass.
I believe I am seeing in the above posts the same feelings I have had for several months.
September 4th, 2008 at 4:52 am
It’s hilarious that any of you take Alan Colmes seriously. The execs at Fox were laughing their asses off as they sat around the room planning their “news” network….
“And let’s get some guy who even LOOKS like a scarecrow to be our straw man (get it!!??) lib’ral, like one of those blow-up sock-’em toys that you punch in the big red nose. We’ll have to make him even dumber than Hannity (there’s got to be at least one guy on the planet more dense) so that we can make Hannity look smart! Bwa Haaaaaaa!!”

Bet other young couples cannot get that type of job. Keep us posted with the jobs Levi gets and the support millions of others do not get because of famous parents.

You right wing assh0les leave me no choice. You tell me. Why does John McCain associate with Republicans when they infiltrated with child molesters and boy buggers? Is John McCain a child molester?
* Republican legislator Scott Muschany was charged with molesting a 14-year old girl.
* Republican chief of staff Eric Feltner pleaded guilty to showing pornography to a 13-year old girl.
* Republican presidential campaign official Matthew Joseph Elliott was convicted of sexual exploitation of a child.

You know what you did and you are just surprised that you were called on it.
Be a man and own up to what you really meant. You questioned her judgement about a decision on her baby. If she had considered and abortion you wouldn’t be questioning that.
You should be fired – If you can’t be an adult and apologize or resign.

Unless you, Alan, were privy to the phone conversation Gov. Palin had with her physician that day prior to her decision to fly home, anything subsequent that you may have to say is of no value. Has it occurred to you that because of the special nature of this delivery perhaps her physician wanted her to come home, even instructed her to come home? This is an arena you simply need to stay out of because you don’t have all the information you would need to make any kind of valid assessment. And I can tell you there is not a woman in the world, conservative or liberal, who does not resent your decision to make a judgment without the facts.

First time I have visited your blog. The resonse from most of those who have commented simply prove how usless having a discussion with the rightwing idiots has become.

Yes, so if Sarah had decided to abort her “defective” baby, it would be no one’s business. But since she decided to have her baby, suddenly her prenatal care and labor and delivery are everyone’s business and directly related to her ability to be VP. Great logic.
BTW, her water didn’t break before she got on the plane. It was leaking, which is not the same thing. It certainly warrants a call to the doctor (which she did), but it’s not an emergency situation. She wasn’t even in active labor and had to be medically induced with pitocin after she arrived at the hospital. And I don’t know, maybe since this was her 5th baby, she knows more about her body and how she labors than you do? Isn’t that the liberal mantra, my body my choice?
Not that it’s anyone freaking business.

All expect Colmes will throw a monkey wrench in reality of Joe the plumber coments to support socialist position. What Combs and Obama do not understand – is that we who own a business WILL find a way NOT to pay any more taxes and quite clearly will survive. Frankly, at this point I do NOT care about the poor or socialist objectives. Bottom line it is the survival of our family well before I give a crap about the usual poor who flat are government dependent and not for American ideals. Combs has proven he is against what made America and clearly not worthy to be a citizen.

Howard Elder,
Why would anyone think that the right is pro American?
All you do is spew out hatred of your fellow Americans?
Seems like you just take YOUR worst qualities and project them on to the Democrats and liberals.
