Alan Colmes Agrees With Hussein: Middle America Full Of Xenophobes
This from Warner Todd Huston at Newsbusters:
And now to add to the ever-lengthening list of Obamessiah apologists comes TV and Radio talker Alan Colmes to say that Barack Obama is right, Middle America IS filled with racist, overly religious, gun-nuts.
On his LiberalLand blog (the formerly secret blog he was hiding from the greater world), Sean Hannity’s co-host said the following:
And just where is he wrong? Pointing out why people may be bitter or frustrated, that there is xenophobia, that people sometimes cling to religion or feel paranoid about the government and embrace guns doesn’t mean you hate or disdain a portion of the population.
First of all people do not “cling” to guns and religion because of what a government does or does not do. It is especially demeaning to people’s religious sentiment to say that government is their reason for “clinging” to their religion. And secondly, Obama did not mean to say that people were merely frustrated. He was clearly trying to paint Middle America as racist, gun-nuts that were too stupid to understand what was going on around them.
It is also impossible, Mr. Colmes, not to see that he was singling out a “portion of the population” when he was quite specific in his target. It is also telling that he was speaking before some elite, West Coast liberals, too.
You have quite a dilemma, Mr. Colmes. If Barack really doesn’t feel disdain for all those Middle Americans like you say, then he was pandering and lying to those West Coast lefties before whom he was appearing.
So, your only choices by which to assess Mr. Obama’s remarks, Mr. Colmes, are two. Number one he really disdains Middle America. Number two, he doesn’t and was just lying to the West Coasters. So he either hates a large segment of the country, or he is a panderer and liar.
Neither choice shows your messiah in a very good light, Mr. Colmes.
No wonder you tried to keep your blog a secret. Were I you, I would have too.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Where’s a “gun nut” when we need him?
April 13th, 2008 at 1:43 pmI’v always wondered what is wrong with his face. He always looks like a barrel of crushed assholes.
April 13th, 2008 at 1:59 pm“Crushed assholes.” Good one!
April 13th, 2008 at 2:18 pmMore like middle America is filled with people that don’t want our laws broken!
April 13th, 2008 at 2:20 pmI don’t watch Hannity & Colmes cause I can’t stand listening to Colmes excuse everyone on his side of the aisle. I would just like to tell Colmes that he should bend over because that would make it easier for BO.
April 13th, 2008 at 2:56 pmCome to think of it, Alan Colmes looks just like that girl in every high school that can never get a date.
April 13th, 2008 at 2:59 pmFox could not have chosen a better personality to be the face and emotion of the Left. He actually looks like some kind of insect.
April 13th, 2008 at 4:06 pmYep. Allen Colmes is indeed an alien. Then again, maybe my wife is right and he is some kind of strange insect.
April 13th, 2008 at 4:16 pmHe’s certainly not close to being the worst liberal out there, but he is a space cadet.
April 13th, 2008 at 4:24 pmWell I was thinking he looked exactly like an aid against AIDs…
April 13th, 2008 at 4:28 pmCrip Keep is a dimwit. It would be nice to hear that some right think guy kicked his ass in!!
April 13th, 2008 at 4:59 pmI liked him better when he hosted “Tales from the Crypt”.
April 13th, 2008 at 5:27 pmAllan Colmes’s first job:

April 13th, 2008 at 6:48 pmGuys, I hate to be cruel and stoop to the left’s tactic of hitting a person’s [looks] but there has been something about Colmes face that has nagged at me for a couple years now, and I couldn’t put my finger on it until now.
