This was really hard to watch Too bad I'm not like Colmes who can just laugh this immense stupidity off, all the while his fact-checking and correcting is completely ignored.


Monica: "There's a reason he's only going after children under 6th grade - gotta get 'em young!!!1 This is what Mao Tsetung did!!1 Hitlar! STalins!!1"

Laura: "Actually, Monica, there are also materials for 6th grade and upwards" (2nd time she says this, Monica was too dumb to hear it the first time)

Monica: "Oooh, see, I knew it!!!1 I KNEW IT!!!"


This is the problem with these folks - they appear to be past the point of no return: even if their arguments are invalidated 5 seconds after they've espoused them, this reinforces their position... somehow? This is a sad, sad state of affairs

April Fool's joke maybe? Or else definitive proof that Colmes was always full of shit, explaining why he put up with the network in the first place.

But, I even added it to the Books channel and put you in the tags.

The correct term is "Sissy Hawk" :

Armchair Warriors - the Sissy Hawk Brigade

A Sissy Hawk Cheer:
“All-out war is still our druthers,
Fiercely fought, and fought by others!”
-Calvin Trillin, 'Obliviously On He Sails : The Bush Administration in Rhyme'

In his list of Sissy Hawks he forgot to mention :
- Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Secretary of Defense and intellectual guru of the Bush regime - no military service
- "Dick" Cheney - no military service
- George Tenet, CIA Director, no military service
- Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor - No military service. -
- Jeb Bush, Florida governor - No military service. -
- Rudy Giuliani, Former NYC mayor - No military service
- Pat Buchanan, MSNBC commentator - No military service.
- Ann Coulter, writer & commentator- No military service.
- Sean Hannity, Hannity & Colmes host - No military service
- Brit Hume, Fox News anchor - No military service.
- Rush Limbaugh, Radio talk show host - No military service.
- Bill O'Reilly, O'Reilly Factor host - No military service.
- Michael Savage, Radio talk show host - No military service.

I don't remember anyone mocking her for being a woman. Completely ignorant, yes, but not for being a woman.

Given that McCain was running for POTUS, his age was a valid topic of discussion. The only mocking I remember was from Leno, but he makes fun of everyone.

It's not worth it to try to separate what constitutes an 'attack' from 'satire'. It's shocking enough to the left that not everyone agrees with them.

Why couldn't he focus on something useful, as I noted above?

You could ask the same thing of Stewart, Colbert, Olbyloon, Maddow and even Colmes, who still doesn't know he died of natural causes in 1993.

Alan Colmes is a liberal? He says he is, but I'm not sure I believe him.

Colmes: This is what you said...
Bachman: No it wasn't.
Colmes: Err, we have video tape... On my website...
Bachman: No you don't.
Colmes: Yes we do. I can play it if you wish.
Bachman: No you can't. /wiggles fingers and concentrates
Colmes: You know the Jedi mind trick is from a fictonal movie...
Bachman: ... ... No it's not... <.<
I'm not sure what amazes me more, the fact that she tried to do that or the fact that enough morons will believe her so that she never gets taken to task over it beyond the occasional reporter with at least half an ounce of integrity bringing it up.

I believe Colmes was doing his job when he was calling her ass on the goofy stuff she said to begin with.

Be careful what you wish for, Mrs. Bachmann. If the media really does their job, your ass is in trouble.

That fucking guy really needs a bitch slapping, Krugman is too humble to do it. Bill O'Reilly is a terrorist sympathizer, end of story. Fox news is a extreme right wing propoganda wing, end of story. Colmes as a liberal representative on Fox? Give me a break. Someone really needs to shout that O'Reilly fuckwad into the ground some day.

OK, I've watched The Young Turks talk about this clip and the Obama smear piece that precipitated it:

http://www.videosift.com/video/Hannity-caught-by-the-Obama-campaign

Hannity didn't have Andy Martin on the show to talk about his hatred of Jews. He had Andy Martin on to shamelessly smear Barak Obama. It's all very despicable. One thing this episode reinforces is that Hannity is the kind of scumbag you read about in books. His brand of changeable character would not hesitate to sell his mother if it saved his own neck.

NetRunner is correct: this guilt by association tactic, employed tongue-in-cheek by Mr. Gibbs, is the same sort used by Hannity ad infinitum. It's that guilt by association tactic I was railing against above so I was actually siding with Colmes.

Hearing Colmes brag about the constitution is rather insulting.
