Colmes: Right Shouldn't Complain About 'Conservative' Ahmadinejad's Speech
NewsBusters.org ^

Posted on 09/25/2007 12:05:25 PM PDT by RatherBiased.com

According to Alan Colmes, since evil dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not a liberal, but instead a "conservative," then conservatives in America should not be offended because the Iranian leader received better treatment on a college campus than some of America's conservative political figures, some of whom have been met with attacks with pies or other violence.

Such was the absurd argument suggested by the liberal FNC host during a discussion on Monday's "Hannity and Colmes." Colmes commented to conservative guest/author David Horowitz: "Ahmadinejad's not a liberal. He's a conservative. He's very right wing. He was welcome at Columbia University. You shouldn't be complaining. Phil Donohue, Hillary Clinton, they've been all booed off stages. You don't talk about that." (Transcript follows)

Colmes makes stupid statements every other second, but this one may top the long list. Obviously the American conservative tradition and Iranian-style Islamic fundamentalism not only aren’t even remotely similiar in any respect whatsoever, they couldn’t be further apart. Colmes is brain-damaged beyond repair.

Yep, just like we did in WW2 when our one of our planes blasted the agent of terrorist imperial Japan, Admiral Yamamoto, out of the Pacific skies. These airmen were heros and will go down in (unrevised) annals of history as such.

Today our gunners would be indicted and sent to a military rock factory for the rest of their lives for even daring to hurt a hair on Ahmanutjob's head.

It's the "new tone" in the strategery for conducting war which was concocted and initiated 7 years ago, of course. It's called "winning by soothing".

Right, it isn’t hard to show Hannity is not any type of genius at all.

In fact, I bet his IQ is less than 100.

Agreed.

I don’t like liberal ideology, but Bob Bechel is one of few liberals who can state his case clearly and maintain a clear head while being refuted. He seems much easier to speak to than any other lib consultant/pollster/apologist.

Alan Colmes is a sorry excuse for a Jew & an American!
I quit watching Hannity & Colmes because I got tired of watching Colmes make excuses for the terrorists.

No kidding. The best you can say for Sean is what he lacks in brains he makes up for in sincerity.

The fact of the matter is without Fox News, nobody would have ever heard of Alan Colmes.

I heard of him. Of course, I was looking up Jean Shepherd, and saw that Shep made an appearance on Colmes' NYC radio program, a year or so before Shep died.

But other than that, yeah, without the FNC gig, he'd be a Mike Siegel.

>>>>>>If we want to really command respect in this world , we will direct a flight of F-18’s to intercept and shoot down Ahmadinejad’s plane in mid Atlantic , claiming full responsibility and announcing that THIS will be the fate of ALL those that sponsor and support terrorism in the world.

He might pi$$ off a whole buncha folks, but if Bush took that action, he'd have my support and will have regained much of the respect he's lost in the last two years.

They did this with the Japanese and Nazi’s after the war they claimed they where right wing when they where all along hard core socialists lefties.

National Socialist German Workers Party = Nazis (Totalitarian)

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics = Communists (Totalitarian)

Islamic Republic of Iran = Islamic Fascists (Totalitarian)

Korean Social Democratic Party = Communists (Totalitarian)

And Colmes shouldn’t complain about the vermin that rot his teeth, using his logic.

No, sorry, opining on ones potentially low IQ is neither liberal or conservative.

It’s just a matter of opinion.

Hannity serves his purpose, but let’s not pretend this guy is any type of original thinker.

He is VERY GOOD at delivering talking points.

If aWhackJob is conservative, why is it that the liberals wanted him at Columia U and the conservatives didn’t? If he’s a conservative, why is it that conservatives lambast him constantly for his terrorist ways? And why is it that liberals refuse to acknowledge his actions let alone condemn him for them?

Liberals are a pathetic lot. Their actions are so embarassing to themselves, that they have to try to difuse the issue and act as if conservatives are responsible for them.

No Alan, aWhackjob is not conservative. And you’re definately no salesman.

His speech could have been a Dim campaign speech, except he doesn’t hate President Bush nearly as much.

Pray for W and Our Troops

Not really - you could kidnap them both and force them at gunpoint to take an IQ test, then it wouldn’t be just a matter of opinion.

If you’re conservative, you can believe that an IQ score is valid or not.

"That said, his sister in law is HOT.....(chuckle)"

The SIL has to be his brother's wife. No female in their right mind would marry Colmes ;^)

Snarky, fabricated, completely vacuous arguments are Colmes specialty! He makes the whole H&C show look bad!
