A Haditha Marine Father Has a Question for Alan Colmes [Update at post 216: Colmes Apologizes!]
Defend Our Marines ^ | February 11, 2007 | David Allender

Posted on 02/11/2007 3:56:49 PM PST by RedRover

On the February 9th broadcast of Hannity & Colmes, Alan Colmes made an outrageous and poisonous statement that was not corrected on air.

Speaking to Oliver North, Colmes supported Congressman John Murtha's ugly and destructive lie that, "no question about it", Marines in Haditha had "killed innocent civilians in cold blood".

Defending the indefensible, Colmes told the viewers that there have been "confessions and convictions" in the Haditha Marine case.

Now Darryl Sharratt, the father of a Haditha Marine has a question:

"I would like to ask Alan Colmes where he got his information. There have been no convictions. There have been no confessions."

On the February 10th broadcast of Kit Jarrell's The Front Line, Mr. Sharratt stated, "Evidently, he is not doing the research to be on national television. He comes out in front of millions of people and makes this statement and it is 100% wrong."

So what now, Fox News?

If Mr. Colmes' false assertion continues to be left uncorrected, Fox News will contribute to a tainted jury pool, cause additional pain to the families, and mislead supporters and potential donors to the Haditha Marine defense funds. Through his statement, Mr. Colmes reached millions of people with the message that guilt has already been established.

Fox News and Alan Colmes must make amends...

1. Fox News owes its viewers the opportunity to hear from Darryl Sharratt or other Haditha Marine family members to set the record straight. None of the Haditha Marines have yet faced a hearing. Anything that is known about the case or the investigation has been leaked by prosecutors and politicians. The media has been complicit in this and it must stop now.

2. Alan Colmes owes the Marines and their families an apology. I suggest he make it in the form of a donation to any of the Haditha Marine Defense Funds. (For Mr. Colmes' convenience, all the information he needs about fund donations is here).

These are fair requests to make of a news channel long supported by patriots. Now it's up to Alan Colmes and Fox News.

As far as I know, Vel, the only person who received a reply was pandoraou812. See her post 81 and earlier. (Colmes must have been secretly excited to be called a gitwort).

Red... I am never going to live that down am I? .... I did get my comment about William Arkin read on O'Reilly the other night so I can make normal reasonable emails. I just got so mad at that gitwort Colmes that I had to let loose. I will keep you updated on our emails. He hasn't answered me back since I told him to go hang out with Sean & Bill if they would let him ... He better not be secertly excited about me calling him a gitwort. I didn't make that insult up either. The credit goes to TigersEye.....Have a great day ~~P~~

And, imho, Alan Colmes can be a poster person for unbalanced liberals.

God bless our Marines and all of our military and their families.

Whoa now! I just coined the word I didn't tell you to send him a mash note. If you've got something going with Alan Gitwort that's fine with me. I just don't want to be there when his antennae start vibrating. ;^P
