Alan Colmes: ‘I Wish Chris Wallace Had Not Apologized’ To Michele Bachmann

Video
» 42 comments

Alan Colmes appeared with Don Imus this morning to debate President Obama’s Afghanistan policy with Imus producer Bernard McGuirk, yet when the topic turned to Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann, the sparks humorously began to fly. Colmes rattled off various verbal gaffes Bachmann made, to which McGuirk replied Obama has made mistakes as well. Yet Colmes emphatically highlighted the difference: “Bachmann is doing stuff today!”

Colmes also said, “I wish Chris Wallace had not apologized for what was not even a serious question.” Wallace’s apology was unnecessary according to Colmes since “flake” is not a sexist term and since Bachmann does in fact frequently make questionable statements. “Even this morning she got it wrong on another show, saying John Quincy Adams was a Founding Father, she cannot get anything right,” Colmes concluded.

And like another morning show contrasting Sarah Palin and Bachmann, Colmes made his own comparison: Bachmann is “actually a nicer person than Sarah Palin.” Regardless though, Colmes claims the whole Bachmann show is “fun to watch, get the popcorn, but she has no chance whatsoever.” Although as also noted earlier, might underestimating Bachmann be something those in the media later regret?

    Of course, liberal pundits would not want to see any apologies for character attacks. Over at MSNBC, they would need to spend one hour apologizing for every hour of programming time.

  • Harry Flashman

    Alan Colmes’ bitter and vindictive nature comes through very clearly. Bachmann is another target that he and his fellow lefties will now ferociously attempt to destroy with personal attacks just like this one.

    They have NOTHING else. Their hero, Obama, is quite possibly the worst president in history and they know that. If they try to compare the candidates fairly he’ll be shown for the buffoon he is. So they resort to the politics of personal attack and destruction. They’ll be going after Bachmann’s kids and foster kids next. Watch.

    The sad part is that Colmes couldn’t hold his own in a debate with Bachmann – or Palin – for one single minute.

    Spiteful little dweeb.

    Chris Wallace is very obedient.

    Alan Colmes: ‘I Wish Chris Wallace Had Not Apologized’ To Michele Bachmann

    That’s because Colmes thinks that nobody should feel remorse for what they say to or about Michele Bachmann.

  • skyfet

    Its a legitimate question. Are you or are you not?

  • Karol

    What Colmes lacks in talent he makes up in unjustified criticism. Could be that Colmes and other lefties are seriously concerned about Bachmann’s popularity so they try to tear her down with snarky remarks and untrue statements. It won’t work Colmes. Bachmann has class and you can’t stand that.

  • runner165

    Chris Wallace apologizes to Michele Bachmann but I’m still waiting for the other apologies:
    a) Bill O’Reilly to our President for his disgusting behavior during the 1-to-1 interivew
    b) Michele Bachmann to our President for calling him Anti-American
    c) Whiner Andrew Bretibart to Shirley Sherrod for invading her privacy and destroying her career
    d) John McCain to the American public for thrusting Sarah Palin into our national psyche.

    I won’t hold my breath for any of the above. Seems that wingnuts only apologize to other wingnuts

    or any conservative for that matter.

  • Just4thefax

    Fact; Alan Colmes is a low life liberal and just shows again those types have no morals. Wallace’s apology was there just to ease tentions of the ones who found offense it and to not understanding his question.

  • johnhollaay

    I am a conservative and I agree with Chris Wallace – she is a flake. Also sick of her daily email begging for money.

    I can’t believe how conservatives are fooled by so many “pretty” faces who make flaky comments and have not real ability to lead – that includes Romney.

    Fact: If a wingnut says it take it to the bank if a D-ingbat Lefty says it you no it has no moral standing.

  • Colorado_Conservative

    Who cares what a liberal nobody like Alan Colmes thinks? Other than Matt Schneider that is!

    Alan should be thanking his affirmative action stars because the only thing he is qualified to do is flip burgers..even that is questionable!!

  • http://victoryinamericaday-11210.blogspot.com/ Bob Uda

    Alan Colmes should apologize to Michele Bachmann. He needs to be a man like Chris Wallace. Alan has been so bitter ever since Sean Hannity kicked him off his show. Alan’s bias comes across every time he is on Fox News. They should let him go. I gain nothing from his diatribes whenever he is on Fox. His sister-in-law puts him to shame every time they get into it on Fox. I think he is a self-hater.

    Alan hasn’t had an original thought forever. He spews the same stupid “points” every time. No wonder Hannity had enough of him. Nothing of value ever comes out of his mouth. I enjoy Beckel and Juan, at least they appear to think for themselves.

    Wow you say she is doing it today. How long ago in England did Obama sign and date something 2008? I guess he has been to all 57 states too.
    You need a long rest. You have been reading script from the White House to long.

    Character assissination is part and parcel to being a Conservative. That’s all they do.

    assassination, excuse me.

  • LOGICandREASON

    Maybe it’s time the conservative media sets the record straight with the Obama-worshiping Liberal media.

    A simple way to sort this out would be to draw up a list of Bachmann’s and Obama’s gaffes and “false statements”
    and lets see who has got more that the other, and whose gaffes have more implications for the position of President.

  • c54910

    Michelle Bachmann has a better chance at becoming President than Colmes has of making a living as a commentator.

  • TristramShandy

    And Alan Colmes
    Should be spending more time at home
    Sitting on his John C. Holmes ……….. dildo.

  • Sanders Youth

    Holy shit, do all of you con douches get your talking points from the same place. Corpsman and 57 states, Corpsman and 57 states. And the bald Tom Hanks in Philadelphia looking dude is a dunce if he thinks Obama pulling out that many troops for political gain, nobody likes it. Not his base, not Republicans. Seriously who is that guy he needs to find a hospital bed pronto.

  • Sanders Youth

    Colmes is right, Wallace should get on TV tomorrow and say “hey about that apology I take it back this lady is stupid as shit.”

  • TristramShandy

    Hey Sanders Youth…. Go screw yourself. And speaking of douches… Other than the remnants of your bag, you don’t exist.

    Since Colmes already does that for a living, you make no sense. But like most Palin and Bachmann fans, logic and facts aren’t your forte.

    Spiteful compared to who, the ugly RW talk radio scum who program your little mind? He runs a pretty decent show, and is a lot more reasonable than you and most of the right wingers grunting away on this thread.

    The only people who think that Palin & Bachmann are intelligent are people even stupider and more backwards than those two, Colmes can blow them away, which isn’t saying much, but the simple minded fanatics like their fans would say they won no matter what.

    At least he has a brain, unlike Palin low brow blather which is all she is capable of. Yeah Couric is real evil, she let Palin make a fool of herself. real eeevvviiiilllll, a real Nazi!

  • purveyor

    BATBOY,

    I had no idea how bad the spring run off is. You mentioned such, but, wow…

    I’ve rafted the Arkansas and the Gorge in average condition….

  • edisciple

    Colmes is a doofus. Fox relegated him to radio, panel appearances & booted him of Hannity’! He is a total leftist Democrat hack! You know a person is a political hack when that person can’t never criticize his own side, no matter what! That is what Colmes does. Can anyone take him seriously!

  • X-3

    Colmes also said, “I wish Chris Wallace had not apologized for what was not even a serious question.” Wallace’s apology was unnecessary according to Colmes since “flake” is not a sexist term and since Bachmann does in fact frequently make questionable statements. “Even this morning she got it wrong on another show, saying John Quincy Adams was a Founding Father, she cannot get anything right,” Colmes concluded.

    PRECISELY. But, Chris Wallace apologized because he knew what the uber-liberals would do with his rhetorical question…and it appears that, as usual, Mr. Wallace was 100% correct.

  • MitchT

    If you need something more current from BHO, try how he was talking to a bunch of soldiers about how he awarded the Medal of Honor to a guy who came back from the war alive … but it turned out the guy got the MOH posthumously. Don’t hear the talking heads (or Mediaite) running on and on about that one. After all, that was a screwup that really meant something, and showed his callous lack of concern for anyone other than himself and telling a nice story to the troops. Much better to focus on some meaningless slip by a conservative.

    Another lie, he criticizes Democrats awhen he disagrees with. He criticized Obama when he decided to increase the troop levels in Afghanistan and the intervention in Libya, So once again, you are blowing ignorance.
