Classy response from Mr. Santorum.

Santorum’s very much a gentleman. Still couldn’t vote for him.

Why all the liberal are ugly say for example Alan Colmes? They think ugly and speak hogwash like Alan Colmes.

Muddock tweets tonight: Santorum is the man.
Insane,

Colmes is a “very good person at heart”? I know Santorum is trying to be gracious and magnanimous here, but a “very good person at heart” would not say such a thing, EVER, about anyone. Colmes is a slime and I wish that Fox would fire him.

FOX needs to fire this nasty weenie. He can go to work for MSNBC and join Chris Matthews and his bunch of smartasses.

Colmes didn’t apologize out of genuine regret, in the segment that aired on fox he had numerous opportunities to recant, he didn’t show the slightest remorse regarding the comment.  Either he is a sociopath or acutely hateful.  He’s apologizing to stay in good graces with fox.  I don’t care what your political ideology is this comment was reprehensible. He’s the worst form of sleaze bag.

I understand what Colmes was trying to say, but using this as an example was inappropriate. This issue should be completely off-limits politically. Politics is just a silly game compared to the life and death of a child; I’m glad he apologized. 

That was almost intelligble. Keep trying, lad.

Yeah! That man said mean things! Fire him, Mr. Ailes!

You prefer the gentlemanly, polite rhetoric of conservative Fox contributors like Ted “suck on my uzi, you b-tch!” Nugent, I suppose?

My admiration for Rick just doubled. No way I could let a comment like Alan made go – at least not so quickly. I would have to rake him over the coals for a while before I could forgive such a hateful attack. Kudos Rick.

Ted Nugent is not and never has been a “Fox News Contributor”. I understand he has been a guest from time to time on Fox and Friends. Alan Colmes is a paid contributor and must be held to a higher standard.

Colmes made a very bad mistake in mocking how the Santorums grieved for and said goodbye to the child they lost.

awww….poor, frothy little Man-on-dog Ricky.
After decades of going around, being a hate-spewing judgmental ass and attacking others’ lives as immoral, he gets all upset when people want to criticize his personal business for the freak show that it is.
How will the poor little guy ever cope?

Alan is a great man and is one of the smartest, most intellectual pundits on the air.  Thank you Alan for all your contributions…

If a man can be judged by the character of his enemies, such as people like you, then I would proudly call Rick Santorum my friend.

I admire Rick Santorum for being so forgiving to Allan Colmes. I heard the exchange and Rich Lowry gave Allan every opportunity to admit he was way out of line.

No one should ever mock and criticize parents for the way they chose to grieve for and say goodbye to the child they lost.

Define “he gets all upset” would you? And give an example.

Christ, you’re stupid.

He didn’t get all upset. Why don’t you listen to the clips or read the story before commenting? Most people who heard Alan Colmes were extremely upset with him. It was horrible and insulting. Maybe Alan has learned something about the loss of a much wanted and cared for child. He issues an apology. I’m not sure if he was called on the carpet or did  it on his own.

But Rick and Karen Santorum graciously and immediately accepted the apology of Colmes for his crass and inaccurate mocking of their grieving for and goodbyes to the child they lost.

Shame on you, Alan Colmes.   Imagine your wife’s response to such political hatred if the situation had been reversed.  A family’s privacy during the death of a child is one of those sacred moments that are not open for debate or scrutiny or cheap political, dirty shots.  Shame on you, Alan Colmes. 

Bob is too stupid to read the article or listen to the clip before commenting. Anyone who read the article, listened to the clip, or saw Hannity knows that Santorum was definitely NOT “all upset”.

Bob, you need some serious medication and treatment from a good Psychriatrist, and take Colmes with you.  A reality of life is that we should respect each other and our differences.  We do not have to disagree with each other.  Hateful attacks and critizism of our private and personal moments are entirely off-base — yes Bob, that applies to Airheads like you too.

The fact that Colmes did not catch himself here is telling. As other note, Lowry interdicted the conversation at least twice and Colmes doubled down each time. This inability to stop comes from Alan’s visceral hatred of Santorum.

The ‘apology’ must have been demanded of Colmes by his handlers and he was threatened  with his job, they knowing that the comments will be used later in the campaign to show the intolerance of the extreme left haters. 

The childbirth in 1996 was a source of terrible heartbreak — the couple were told by doctors early in the pregnancy that the baby Karen was carrying had a fatal defect and would survive only for a short time outside the womb. According to Karen Santorum’s book, ”Letters to Gabriel: The True Story of Gabriel Michael Santorum,” she later developed a life-threatening intrauterine infection and a fever that reached nearly 105 degrees. She went into labor when she was 20 weeks pregnant. After resisting at first, she allowed doctors to give her the drug Pitocin to speed the birth. Gabriel lived just two hours.What happened after the death is a kind of snapshot of a cultural divide. Some would find it discomforting, strange, even ghoulish — others brave and deeply spiritual. Rick and Karen Santorum would not let the morgue take the corpse of their newborn; they slept that night in the hospital with their lifeless baby between them. The next day, they took him home. ”Your siblings could not have been more excited about you!” Karen writes in the book, which takes the form of letters to Gabriel, mostly while he is in utero. ”Elizabeth and Johnny held you with so much love and tenderness. Elizabeth proudly announced to everyone as she cuddled you, ‘This is my baby brother, Gabriel; he is an angel.’ ”

We are talking about a 20 week old fetus that was aborted because of a life threatening injury to the mother.

Rick Santorum is a wicked control freak who wants to govern everybody’s bedroom. He wants to deny equal rights to gays. He wants to cut social programs so he can start a Holy War in Iran. He is dishonest.

I agree that it was the right thing to do, as far as Alan Colm’s apology. It’s a highly personal thing and you have to choose your battles.

That said, Colmes was right. 

How creepy was that? I thought it must be a rumor. But apparently it’s true.

And he wants to be our president?

I got no problem with anyone being his friend. 

But president? Please. I don’t think he’s going to get much international respect when people hear about that. I mean that’s 3rd world 5th century stuff.

Lowry was definitely “all upset”.

Lowry was acting as Santorum’s mouth peice.

So somebody was upset.

Why are you guys getting all upset about somebody saying Santorum was all upset?

And why is Colmes apologizing if Santorum isn’t upset?

You guys are dorks. :)

What are you talking about?

Santorum has made his living making hateful attacks and critisms of other people’s private and personal moments.

Get real, Kim Jong-il

Don’t say that. You’ll jinks us.

We want one of these nuts to win.

Exactly.  Santorum is a baby killer, but he wants a free pass.

What part of “pro-life” don’t you understand, Rick the Baby Killer?

Murdock is the guy these nuts need to impress.

So what about the owner of Fox News? 

Who is that Arab sheikh supporting?

Just stfu you clown. You are a true lib abomination.

Colmes shows what trash libs are.

And you are white trash. You are one despicable little man-child.

You are nothing but hateful attacks, you hypocrite.

Some losses are so painful, and clearly the loss of the child is only understood by those who’ve endured the on-going grief.   My heart goes out to him, and an apology is not enough from Colmes. 

So Santorum IS for abortion then?  LOL.

Derp Derp Derp.

Hanitize it all you like folks . Santorum taking home a dead fetus for his children to play with is beyond bizzaro .

I wonder if he did the same for the aborted fetus him and his wife enjoyed the freedom to choose.

Liberal tolerance and respect is a myth.

Karen Santorum went into premature labor because of a uterine infection. She asked the doctors to stop the labor. They did not. She then allowed them to give her the drug that did speed up the birth. The baby lived for several hours. They lost their child. It was not a surgical abortion in any sense of the definition: killing an unborn child.

Fetus just means “unborn” and I have heard it means “little one” literally in Latin. It’s just semantics and I’ve had many friends who have grieved over miscarriages in early pregnancy.  They have lost a baby – not a fetus.

The point is that they lost their child and they needed to grieve for their child. Good grief. Is this what the abortion culture has brought us? Parents are mocked for grieving for and saying goodbye to a much wanted and beloved child.

Not exactly ex-lax.

Alan Colmes is your typical libtarded mouthbreather who thinks he is part of “the master class”.  Well, he isn’t, and neither are the rest of your libtards.  I hold no special brief for Santorum, especially because of his “judgementally clouded” past, but for Colmes to have mocked him in a time of grief is beyond even the typically stupid liberal pale.

Go away, Alan.  We’re sick of you and creeps lilke you!!

OLD ONE 75

YOU GOT IT CORRECT, VALKYRIE101:  People who have never gone through the experience of losing a child AT ANY AGE (and–IT WAS A HUMAN BABY–NOT A MASS OF TISSUE OR A PRODUCT OF CONCEPTION that most baby murderers–a.k.a. ‘abortionists’–call it) may not fully comprehend the Santorums’ way of saying farewell to their dead baby.  I think it showed true compasion and thankfulness to our Creator who, for His reasons, took his gift back to Himself.

OLD ONE 75

Alan only says what he get paid to say. He is extreme to the MAX–I don’t listen to him.  He looks evil.

Only when he’s doing it. Not when anyone else is.

Colmes even got on twitter and defended his comments and continued to mock and joke about them. he’s not sorry. he’s vile.

As far as I know that is the latest rumor – that it was an abortion. It was not an abortion. It was a terrible premature birth that was threatening the life of the mother. Good grief, libs get more vile with every passing day.

Good, lets be done with this pointless sideshow

Colmes should not have had to apologize for stating the truth. Santorum is running for president and we all get to make judgement on the behavior of the candidate. Sleeping with a dead baby and then bringing it home for young children to “snuggle” with is ghastly.  I am catholic and Santorum is a nut job.  He lost his senate seat and has the time to roam the landscape of Iowa. Who is supporting his family?  Does he have a job?  If he wants to be the flavor of the month, he needs to answer these questions.  He is a nut job.

Grief is one thing.  What they did is beyond normal.  And you want this guy to be president of the US?  He is out of the mainstream and a bit nuts on the family values thing.  Comparing gay sex to having sex with animals makes him nuts.  The baby thing makes him super nuts. Cringworthy.

The baby was born at 20 weeks.  Look up what a 20 week old baby/fetus looks like.  To sleep with it and bring it home to play with the kids is beyond the pale.  This is a crazy ass family.

If you have admiration for this guy, you must hate gays, hate sex before marriage, hate just a about everybody. I am a conservative republican and Santorum scares the hell out of me. No way I want this crack pot running this country.  There is a reason he lost in PA.  He is insane.

No, exactly that. A drug was taken to induce labor of a five month old fetus because the mother had a fever and an infection.

Running for president means that behaviors and decision on all levels should be looked at. The wife wrote it in a book and see proud of this.  Let the voters see how insane these people are.

See my post above. The child was aborted via a drug that induced labor because the mother had a life threatening medical condition.

YOU’RE ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION, rockyroad, and I’m entitled to mine.  I refer you back to my original post’s comments.  If you believe that the Santorums were “a crazy ass family” for handling their grief in that manner, then YOU are exposing yourself for the uncaring person you are.  (Probably a libtard, to boot!!)

OLD ONE 75

The only reason that geek Colmes appologised is so he wouldn’t loose his job at FOX. He’s quite the hypocrite liberal, isn’t he?

Really?  I wouldn’t be proud to call any politician my friend, Republican or Democrat.  Some people are irreparably gullible.

Pot?  Kettle?

No, they need him as a punching bag.  They won’t fire him unless someone better comes along.

Maybe they should trade him for Pat Buchanan.

Colmes is your typical heartless leftist.  There’s nothing wrong with killing babies, but don’t pour water on a terrorist’s head.  This is the type of man that spit on our troops returning from Vietnam, but typically embraces destructive violent far left protestors (like OWS).  Unfortunately, the same type of person is also in the White House right now (a man who launched his political career in the home of two murdering communist terrorists that used to tell kids to kill their parents). 

Read Karen Santorum’s story. I’m not interested in your “version” of the story. That’s now the latest lie from the crazy libs – that it was an induced abortion. Maybe you are the one spreading it.

Karen went into premature labor because of a severe uterine infection. She asked the doctors to stop the labor and they refused saying it would be malpractice because it would kill her and the baby was Trisomy 18. She allowed them to speed up the labor. The child was born alive and lived for two hours.

(A dead baby is the result of an abortion. That’s why in partial birth abortion, the abortionist delivers all but the head and then sticks forceps into the skull and sucks out the brains and then delivers the “dead” aborted baby.) If a doctor kills a live baby, it is called infanticide. But even many libs are smart enough to call partial birth abortion for what it is: infanticide.

RICK SANTORUM AND NEWT GINGRICH,
Everyone has pain in their lives, but we grin and bear it.  My daughter at 3 had open-heart surgery, and a heartmaker implanted at age 5.  We had to charge her pacemaker for one-and one-half hours each week.  She had pacemaker recalls, because elements were omitted from her pacemakers.  Today, she and her twin sister are electrical engineers.  It is the way the ball bounces, but you don’t use this for election purposes.   Newt, my mother died at Walter Reed Hospital, and I cry often, but not in public.   There is a lot more pain out there that doesn’t compare with ours.

Lowry was acting as Santorum’s mouthpiece? Because you say so? Or is Lowry on Santorum’s payroll?

You make a lot of shit up, Barry.

Actually, if an unviable fetus is determined to legally be a person, within the meaning of our laws, the Santorums would have had to suffer through, also, a forensic law enforcement investigation into the cause of death and so forth. Gross negligence on the part of any mother leading to the early termination of pregnancy would be involuntary manslaughter.

Of course this issue never really came up over most of the last several hundred thousand years, until just the last few decades, because life was thought to begin upon that first breath, the “breath of life”.

20 week old fetuses that are induced to be born usually do not survive. Why? Because human fetuses like to stay inside for about 9 months.

It is slugs like Colmes and the liberal media who are using personal pain for political purposes.
You liberal assrags always consider yourselves “victims” and in this case…Newt and Santorum are the victims of despicable liberal attacks.
But don’t let the facts get in the way of your self-pity.
Moronic wench

ALIVE STILL KICKIN,
Sorry you are not intelligent enough to get the point of message.   My message is that there is a lot more pain out there than ours.   As for your filthy mouth, wash it out with soap…and do not direct comments to me.

Speak about your own pain and not “everyone’s”
You have no idea what other’s pain is
As you may notice…I have ignored the rest of your silly post.

Alan’s faux nice guy facade may fool Fox but his words were not from a kind heart.

I’ll about anyone’s pain that I choose.  YOU are a pain.  Make yourself invisible.

Wrong. Read. Karen went into premature labor because of her uterine infection.  I feel so sorry for the Santorums to have to still deal with these lies and distortions 15 years after they laid that baby to rest.

He wants you to keep your bedroom in your bedroom, and out of parades and the rest of our faces.  It used to be that don’t ask, don’t tell applied to all sexual activity.  Unfortunately, with the liberal coarsening of our society al a Hollywood and the legalization of pornography, now everyone’s sexual orientation is on display.  You libs caused the whole bedroom problem, and now you whine about it.

Santorum wants you to take your sex life and get it the heck out of public display.  If you want to flaunt it, go flaunt it for your buddies.

As far as abortion, you libs scream about the scum on death row, but will take the life of an innocent child.  You have your priorities bass-ackwards.  Society is to protect the weak in us, not the depraved and despicable.  But since so many of you fit that category, maybe that is why you want to be protected.

I thought Santorum was the hateful name-caller.  Or are you referring to him as Kim Jong-Il because the latter is someone you admire?

I have read most of Santorum’s speeches, bills and writings.  He does not call people names, but he DOES call out the despicable actions that they do.  You want people who call people names, go look at Dickie Durbin of YOUR persuasion. He is the one that called Bush a number of names, Hitler among them.

Colmes acts like excretement, but is not excretement. How is that for clarification?

LOL!!

not a santorum fan, but that was pretty classy. good for him. 

Your pathetic justification for your stand on this issue makes me sick. Your are an insensitive creep just like combs who will go at great lenths to deamen anyone conservative. You and combs should be ashamed of yourselves.

I am republican just voted in the florida absentee ballot for Rick Santorum, But please leave Alan Combes alone he has a right to make a point. it is the other journalist that blew it out of proportion, just to make Alan Combes a political scapegoat. Then there are people calling for Fox to fire him whatever happened to freedom of speech??? Because we do not like or agree with what people say they must be fired or  ostracized??? If alan was allowed to make his point we would have understood him better. But he was cut of just where his enemy wanted him to look bad. I agree with very little of Comes, but love to see him on Fox he ads another voice to the matter. Lighten up folks, enjoy life stop the hatred!!!!!!! God will jugde us all one day, thats the judgment we must concern our selves with, until then let us encourage each other and make each other better, while Praying for the success of another, especially in the Salvation of JESUS CHRIST the Only Way to GOD and Heaven. A-Men!

alan colmes is as ugly on the inside as on the outside.
