I think mean is too nice a way to describe a group of people that kill unborn infants and hold a gun to my head to take my money and give it to others for their own political gain.

That makes them murderers and robbers in my book. They are pirates that operate within a legal network.

And BTW, either Alan Colmes and people like him are mean or stupid. I doubt that he's stupid.

Mr. Prager is too kind a person.

In the absence of truth, light, and love (rejected; not withdrawn) what can be expected but lies, evil, and hatred?

I think the problem is that the left sees as their goal a heaven on earth of social equality and hsrmony. People on the right do not see a utopia as the end of governmental policy; they generally see various economic outcomes and would prefer better overall results. But the big difference is personal salvation; the right recognizes that salvation is between each individual and God; the left envisions salvation as resulting from good works done for humanity. To the rightist, nothing that one does can impact another's salvation, so we do not see differences of opinion as evil, only misguided, whereas the leftist seea a differnce of opinion as an attempt to deny him salvation and therefore evil.

And let's not forget Obama's montra from good ol' buddy Bill Ayers - There are no rules for radicals.

Sorry, those leftists are sick.

I stopped watching shows like O`Reilly and Hanity because they insist on having the likes of Colmes on their shows. I don`t need acid reflux and ulcers at my age. Colmes is a leftist puke. You can tell by looking at him that he does not carry a full load of brick. If he did, it wouldn`t matter due to the fact that his elevator doesn`t go all the way to the top.

Richard, Colmes elevator never gets out of the basement. O'Reilly and Hanity have elevators that never go all the way to the top. Every time Hanity calls Karl Rove the architect, I want to puke. Yes the architect of the Republicans losing the House and Senate.

I admire Mr. Prager, but this time I think he is too kind. It's bad enough to think of using the death of a child to take a cheap political shot at an opponent. When Colmes and Robinson acted on that idea, they were disgusting. When Robinson tried to defend the indefensible he graduated to despicable.

This highlights the low meanness and hypocrisy of statists. They have plenty of empathy for the nebulous mass "the people" -- their excuse for abusing power -- but have no sympathy at all for the person. Every decent human being knows a child's death is a soul-wrenching tragedy that is NOT a subject for comment let alone mockery by political hacks.

This episode underscores the principal opperating philosophy of the Left -- the end justifies the means. Robinson is without honor, a word with no meaning to statists. Despite his apology, I hope Colmes is deeply ashamed of his comments, but somehow I doubt Leftist stooges are capable of this.

Frist, IMHO, the liberal MSM pundits realize the probability is very high that Obama is one and done. This translates, among other things, to picking the republican candidate via the liberal MSM. Santorum is just to conservative for their fickle immaturity so the liberals attack him. They attack anywhere they can, and if it is below the belt so what, they have an agenda and that is what is important to them.

The liberal agenda BTW, is the same in their political world as in their personal world. It is singularly, and only, to defend their immaturity against and from the world. Therefore their attacks have been perfected over a lifetime of defending themselves that others not see their failures to mature.

Meaness is but one weapon in the liberal arsenal of defense, but that you noticed this Denis it is then good that you share it with the rest of us, thanks. I do not like Alan Colmes. He has always reminded me of a flat tire.

Cowardice is the biggest calling card trait of the liberal personality. They shall never truely get "in the Arena". "They shall always be the critic who points out how the great man has stumbled". Their place shall always be with "those cold and timid souls who know niether victory nor defeat". Quotation marks wordage courtesy of Teddy Roosevelt. Thank you.

What these so called commentators did in even commenting at all about the death of Santorum's child was nothing short of reprehensible. No apology can assuage the disgust associated with those comments. Neither of those jerks should ever be allowed to speak on public airwaves again. To voice a political opinion is one thing, to stoop to the absolute lowest level of criticism is something else. Why don't we all discuss how each other have aged not so gracefully? Or why is your kid a blue collar worker? Or have you ever had a hygiene accident? There is no excuse or reason for those comments about the Santorum's handling of the death of their child, which I think was quite appropriate and reasonable. I probably would not have been so wise as them.

Thank you Dennis. I have thought this for some time. I have perfectly nice left leaning friends but if one mentions anything about politics or sends an email joke about Barry O, they really come unglued. I am delighted I have a sense of humor about these things. Without it, I would be in a padded cell by now.

I never could stand Alan Colmes, Karl Rove or the fat one who seems to have a broken jaw when he talks...and he never stops talking! I no longer watch much of Fox News either.

Mr. Prager, God bless you, you were much kinder to Colmes and Robinson than I would have been had I been writing a commentary on their comments. Everyone should read "The Road to Serfdom" by Dr. Feulner President of Heritage Foundation, an abridged edition of the book by the same title by Friedrich A. Hayek. In this book, the implication is clear that a true socialist, communist, facists,or nazis is probably incapable of being a Christian and the higher one might go in the heirarchy of these isms, the more likely they could never become a Christian. This concept, if you will, is one I have come to believe very strongly.

I agree with most of the reasonable comments that have been made here. The last statement is bothersome. I have a big problem watching Fox News also, yet that's the ONLY place where I can get a partial sense of the truth. O'Reilly is almost impossible to endure, but where else will I hear some actual objective facts? Many times, I DVR the MSM news and I compare their coverage of what they consider "newsworthy". Usually, it's a few minutes of news, followed by pop culture crap, followed by some cheerleading for our current dictator. It's truly sickening that the networks that used to employ true "journalists" have now sunk so low as to be comparable to Hitler's propagandists. Why does the American public have to put up with a 'fourth estate' that has truly become the 'fourth branch of government'? On a more sour note, the level that our dictator has sunk to is truly beyond the pale. He no longer even pretends to care one bit about the Constitution. In retrospect, it's quite obvious that he was openly and corruptly lying when he mouthed the words of his oath of office. The founders would be shooting by now, as both parties that are allowed to compete disregard our Constitution with absolute impunity.

PMB, I appreciate your description of the difference between right and left.

I think Dennis, you're a thought leader on various values, but on leftism, you may have it backwards. My observation since the sixties (I'm 62) has been that people BECOME leftist due to old wounds, so anger predates politial expression of their Weltanaschauung, a word you know.

These old wounds bring anxiety at the sight of icons which remind them of the original trauma.As part of their anxiety, they become bolder and bolder with time and meaner because they can.

funny how these lefties ain't so mean or opinionated when they talk to me (bald-6'3"-260,competitive bodybuilder for 10 years)they are all bark and no bite-I'd love to see Colmes face to face-he'd crap himself-Santorum should knock his weasley ass out.I long for the days when honor meant something and if you ran your stupid mouth it was pistols at 10 paces,I'm sure there were far less stupid,mean comments when you actually had to take real reasponsibility for your actions

Our children are being raised with the "colmes-syndrome". They can do something wrong, even reprehensible and then just apologize, "Sorry, didn't mean it, just kidding." That Colmes was capable of choosing the phrase "home to play with", knowing full well that the family chose this way to deal with the grief of losing a baby, speaks volumes about Colmes' character, or lack of it.

That he was capable of choosing that subject and using that phrasing at all reveals who he is really is. The apology means nothing, other than he was called on his actions. However, since he does favor abortion, he is probably incapable of understanding the grief associated with losing a baby at birth (or any time.)

I do not know who commented that Liberalism is a disease of the mind.. Maybe Limbaugh..but it is the truth. For Friedman to be a Leftist AND a Jew strikes me as duplicitous.

Can he make anti-Semitic statements BECAUSE he is a Jew? Is that the same logic as black folks calling each other the N-word, but condemning everyone else that does? Friedman MUST have a serious breakdown of logic in his head if he thinks that being on the side of the PLO is the right thing to do,it would be because he is a Liberal fool that has forgotten his heritage as well as his history.

Mr. Prager is a good man, a nice man, thus often is waay too soft and reminds me of John McCain- always trying to make everybody happy and everybody get along. At least McCain got there legitimately, from a North Viet Nam prison camp. Unless Mr. Prager has suffered as a Jew I find his liberal attitudes condescending.
