How the Right Tweets

November 10th, 2009, 8:53 PM EST

Making the argument on O’Reilly that we don’t know if the tragedy at Fort Hood is an act of terror, refusing to label it “terrorism” because those who do so before the facts are in have an agenda, and accusing the right of shamelessly using the tragedy to bash the president, has engendered these responses:


@wwmcneill Monica Crowley is Alan Colmes sister-in-law. Bet they have some interesting family gatherings. He’s a complete idiot.

 

@cancon1 Colmes needs a High Colonic enema,and a douche,maybe that would wipe that smug off his face

 

@Adrienne2012 I have a confession to make: I CANNOT STAND Allan Colmes. There…I said it. Ughhh… *LOL!!

 

@giardinello1 I will never understand liberals like Alan Colmes who insist on making Hasan and all other terrorists the victims….

 

@CarolinaPixel: Like most haters on the left Alan Colmes is more tolerant of Nidal Hasan than he ever was of Sarah  Palin

 

RWCAPLLPH #umightbealib if you think Allan Colmes  makes sense. #tcot #catcot #foxnews he’s an ass.

 

disherdisher @hoffmanmichael Well yes! But Fox strives to have both sides even if Colmes has no logic! He is a DEM – poor guy!

 

TairrieB Listening to Colmes attempt to debate O’Reilly is pretty damn funny. No Alan, the shooter was NOT insane. He was a traitor. Big difference.

 

TinaVane Colmes sound like a complete idiot…Thank gawd he got the boot on Hannity’s show.Nobody want to hear a bunch of excuses

 

bsgfan28 Alan Colmes has a screw loose… that Hannity put up with this guy for as long as he did is a miracle #tcot

 

save_america1st Alan Colmes is such a liberal pussy…makes me sick the excuses he dreams up to defend obama and the libs

 

spongedocks @FrazzledHaloz he wasnt too bad tonight, but I think someone should shove an M-16 up Colmes  butt

 

AmericanWoman2 Can someone shut that Alan Colmes up..

 

Linny_Buck Alan Colmes has one BIG-ASS PIE HOLE!

  1. Alan, you’re one of the few reasons to watch O’Reilly. I find you always engaging and articulate.

  2. Alan,
    I am a conservative as well, but would not condone any of those tweets or tonality; nor do I like it from the liberal side either.

    I agree with you, we do need all the facts, but there is certainly a lot of red flags that were being raised.

    I do believe, conservatives, despite their tonality, do want to protect fellow Americans from any future harm; to the extent that it is preventable.

    I think they do, too. Same with other topics that come up.
    When those who disagree allow as much from the other side, good discussions are more possible….

    I have no problem telling someone I disagree with them, or debating them; but I do try to always start a debate or discussion by finding points to which we can agree on; which tends to help bring down barriers.

    Sadly, too many start conversations by trying to silence the person who disagrees with them.

    Increasingly, it is getting harder to debate things with people who do not look at facts, but rather out their own word view.

    I agree, and it is refreshing to find agreement with someone I have disagreed with previously…

    “would not condone any of those tweets or tonality; nor do I like it from the liberal side either.”

    Agreed, though it is entertaining.

    “[Imagine] that Thanksgiving Day dinner.”

    Haha, that would be cool to witness.

    I’m sure Alan has very tough skin… He co-hosted with Sean Hannity for 12 years.

    That was a really good show because both sides were represented, and there was a good counter-balance.

    But again, too many people are only hearing their own worldview being espoused.

    I prefer open and “honest” debate.

  3. Some of them are pretty funny!!

    … maybe if you have the mentality of a 10-year-old.

    Really, read these puerile comments again. Not exactly a compendium of wit.

  4. Alan keeps saying this was the first such attack by an American soldier upon his own fellow soldiers, but a soldier killed 2 and wounded 12 with grenades and a rifle back in 2003.

    The killer was Sgt. Hasan Akbar, a Muslim.

    There have been 2 unprovoked attacks by American soldiers upon fellow soldiers in recent times. Both were carried out by Muslim American soldiers.

    Probably just a coincidence.

  5. The Neanderthals are out in force tonight. Did anyone bring any moron repellent?

    “Did anyone bring any moron repellent?”

    I’ll give it a shot.

    God is fiction. The “bible” is BS. The NRA is a subversive anti-American organization. Evangelical “christianity” is as much a murdering terrorist movement as al Qaeda. Laws restricting abortion do nothing but kill women. And the radical rightwing extremists of the republikkkan party are a bunch of gutless gap-toothed cretins who keep promoting the same failed policies that drove the world economy to the brink of collapse and all they can say is hail Reagan the Messiah!

    Love it, thanks Rocky!

  6. I’m betting all those little pussy tweeters never served in the military. I didn’t either, but my brother is a Vietnam Vet. Takes a lot of courage to tap out those hateful things on your blackberry. Frock u very much.
    Of course, Alan, I’m sure if you valued their opinion, you would be offended.

  7. Monica Crowley is your Sister-in-Law?

    Dear God, I am so sorry. I listen to her spout debunked conservative talking points week after week on the McLaughlin Group (Yeah, that show on ‘liberal’ PBS that made Fox look mainstream), and I always end up going “Is She *that* Stupid, or does she think everyone else is?”.

    Even Pat Buchanan generally has some factual support for his position, even if cherry-picked. Your Sister-in-Law just spouts stuff that is factually wrong on the face of it.

    Ah well, apologies as necessary for bad-mouthing someone you have to sit with at Thanksgiving.

    But as log as she keeps not caring about truth, I’ll make my opinion of her known.
