The OP's past history of lauding Coulter's comments that are really no different than those of Colmes have everything to do with the fact it was made a partisan issue in square one, and NOT by anyone on the left.

So you know...whatever. That is that...and this is this.

Bringing home a fetus is nutty. Most of the world thinks it's nutty for a good reason. You can play dumb and pretend like it's normal, but it aint normal.

Deep down inside many people would agree, but it's not politically correct to say it out loud.

Right, but they did give details. So folks are left to interpret that stuff anyway they like. They obviously put it out there to make an impression on people about how they feel about life.

Did they do so with the expectation that everyone would agree with them? I sure as hell hope not. The reason they put it out there is because it's an abnormal event....and people will comment on abnormality. I don't know what they wanted or expected folks to say.

But you have no way of knowing, do you? So it's just pure specualtion on your part to say that.

Now you're SURE of what Colmes would have done with regards to a liberal! Mind telling me where you got your crystal ball? I want one!

Obama himself said in regards to Sarah Palin that families, especially kids, should be off limits.

Rush has taken extremely cheap shots at Democrats' kids, e.g. Chelsea Clinton who he called the "White House Dog" when she was 13.

Now I don't care for Santorum, yet I'm sorry for his loss. Everyone does grieve in their own way. I don't know how old his kids were when they lost this baby; it's possible that taking it home to show them was a bit more than they could handle.

Y'all need to be careful.
If it was a private family matter, then don't put it out there. Why in the hell would you tell the whole world about how you dealt with your grief? It IS bizarre no matter how normal folks wanna make it sound.

Look, nothing against the man, but hell...what did he expect?

If they had just him on there and no other democrats, he would make it fair and balanced enough with all the leftist crap he spreads.
Why not put it in a freezer? How much MORE bizarre would that be? Hell, the line between bringing it home and putting it in the freezer isn't all that big IMO.

I just don't see how when Santorum put it out there like that if it's a private family matter.

He's supposed to be a religious man, so why would you bring a fetus home for your children to say goodbye to? If it has a soul, seems to me that you'd just pray about it since theoretically, the soul has already gone to heaven (or whatever).

But to say goodbye to a lifeless fetus? Man...i just can't understand that.

But like you say, it's a horrible experience i'm sure. I don't know how i'd act in that circumstance, but i can't see me doing that. That's for sure.

My mother had a girl when I was seven. The baby died of a heart defect that is currently curable. Thankfully my step father did not being the corpse home to brag about. He was a mean drunk but not that gross.

My condolences to the Santorum family but that does not mean I find this act acceptable.

Amazing how some of you vile liberals are taking what the Rick and his wife did and twisting it in your perverted little minds.

You people would have never survived the time before the 1940's as this was a common occurrence in America and currently in many places around the world. Most funerals occurred in the parlors of homes where all families and friends came to pay their respects to the deceased. Every single one of your ancestors did this without exception at one time or another. Obviously some of you have no idea what its like to be in a large communal loving family that cares for all it members living are not. I thought I could have some common ground with some of you but after this thread its obvious to me that there is not hope for you. Secular liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

Your right sanrene, disgusting.
