(Liberal) Alan Colmes: Rick Santorum took dead baby home to 'play with it'

Liberal talk show host Alan Colmes sunk to new a new low when he said on Fox News that former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum took his deceased baby home to 'play with it.'

Noting that the GOP has "speed-dated" every other candidate, Colmes said voters should "get a load" of what he called the "crazy things" Santorum has said and done.

"Like taking his two-hour old baby who died right after childbirth home and played with it for a couple hours so his other children would know it was real, I mean..."

At this point, Fox News contributor Rich Lowry tore into Colmes, calling his statement a "cheap shot."

Lowry lambasted Colmes for "mocking" the death of Santorum's child and said it was beneath the liberal talker, sometimes known as "Skeletor" among some conservatives

"Upon their son's death, Rick and Karen Santorum opted not to bring his body to a funeral home. Instead, they bundled him in a blanket and drove him to Karen's parents' home in Pittsburgh. There, they spent several hours kissing and cuddling Gabriel with his three siblings, ages 6, 4 and 1 1/2. They took photos, sang lullabies in his ear and held a private Mass."

The above description is NOT quite what you said. The baby's siblings were very young, that was a good way to handle the grief of their little brother. You made it sound like the Crypt-keeper was right and they were playing games with little Gabriel.

They ‘progressed’ beyond respect for the dead...since that would undercut abortion.

My youngest son was premature, and the same size as a 16oz coke bottle, Babies are small, whats your point?

[353FMG]

Your type of weird is what the world needs more of.

When I watched it-—”Play with It” were the operative words——the demeaning words which he claimed he wasn’t doing. How disrespectful to human beings—to “play” with dead bodies???????

He was forcing that into people’s minds—”playing” with dead bodies. (Marxist twisting of words to create intentional perceptions.)

Colmes mind is really sick and twisted-—like all Marxists. He reminds me of the Atheist French Revolution when the Leftists took control and not only started severing everyone’s heads-—they took the corpses and “played” with they —placing them in homoerotic poses for laughs. These people are truly sick. Like the leftists did when they dug up the corpses from graveyards in the Spanish Civil War-—same thing-—they actually do play with corpses and think it’s funny and sexy. Like the Homosexual SS Troops-—they did play with corpse and mutilate them for fun——just play.

Colmes is just thinking how Cooper thinks about the teabaggers-—so funny that vision in the mind. Yes, the continual dehumanizing acts they do and think makes it easy to treat other people inhumanely.

Slippery Slope, Colmes—Get treatment now for your sick mind.

I saw the movie “Tom Jones” back in the ‘70’s - I don’t remember who the lead was but there was a character who was a dead ringer for Colmes, both facially and character-wise. That would be Mr. Bliffle, a haughty know-it-all POS.

[zerosix]

.....and the character assignation begins with earnest for Santorum.

Whether from Romney or Obama, doesn't matter. The goal here is to eliminate all but Romney so that Obama can beat Romney rather than any conservative.

[Matchett-PI]

LOL! bttt

[fkabuckeyesrule]

****Colmes is going to drive more independents away from the RAT party at no cost to us.****

Yeah I'm sure that will be the lead story tomorrow morning on Coffee With Joe.

[coloradomomba]

God Bless you, and thank you! :)

[Mariner]

"whats your point?"

My point is that the baby was dead.

[massmike]

He should be off the air, given the full Don Imus / Jimmy the Greek treatment.

Hank Williams Jr. agrees,I'm sure.....

[skeeter]

Santorum is gaining in the polls, so he should expect more of this sort of excrement flung his way.

I expect it from guys like Colmes & maybe even some of the more machievellian hacks on the republican side. But Freeper apologists for this kind of trash makes me positively sick.

[I see my hands]

"Karen and Rick have accepted the apology"

Now, that's sick.

[jonrick46]

In an earlier time, such insult would have prompted a dual on the field of honour. In this case, I hope it furthers his rapid demise out of the world of opinion makers.

[ncalburt]

I think your a heartless soul who needs help .
I would delete your comment before I contact the admin .

[Sun]

Poor loser Colmes is so desperate for attention. No wonder he had to leave Hannity and Colmes.

[tcrlaf]

Even MSNBC wouldn’t stoop THAT LOW.

Colmes must fired. IMMEDIATELY...

[HiTech RedNeck]

This is a different story than the one I saw before.

It sounds odder to take an already dead baby home. I thought it lived there about two hours.

[coloradomomba]

Wow...incredible..just incredible..to think of all the time I have wasted grieving over dead loved ones..thanks for enlightening me!
