Your comment was directed to me and my opinions on the matter. What does the OP's opinion in regards to Coulter have to do with it?

While I think it is a bit strange at first, I am not an authority to say what they should have done or how they feel as I have never lost a child, or even had one.

But they took the child home so the other kids could also say their goodbyes. This isn't really much different than having a wake or funeral. Stuff that everyone does when a loved one is lost to say their goodbyes. Its part of grieving. They just had a very private wake in a way as opposed to making it a drawn out event as wakes and funerals really are.

I'd cut the guy slack and don't think this should be brought up to make some political point.

Again we see the true reality of how the left thinks they can win elections. Demean everything about the opponent on a personal level, disregard the pain the family felt and what is personal family matter, drag it into a political discussion under the most vile hateful nature to continue a personal attack for no reason then he is in the opposite party.
Give coombs credit he did apologize and it was accepted but the purpose of the personal attack on the family is political and should not have ever entered into a political discussion

Oh spare me. The left are experts at gotcha politics and feigned moral outrage, flying into a froth at the first sign of something they can "protest" over, no matter how much a stretch they have to make to get there. Get off your self-righteous high horse.

Can you imagine if the Obamas did what Santorum did and it was Rush Lim-blah-blah-blah
that said what Colmes said? I suspect the righties on this board would have a quite different
take on the situation.

Quite a few of the conservative posters here have said hands off spouses and children. I've taken others to task, especially in the thread where someone called Michelle Obama a wookie.

If Rush took a cheap shot like that at Obama then I would call him on it.

I don't like Santorum one bit, but when I read a story he wrote about his experience, I felt so bad for him and his family that I sent him a note of condolence. I think Colmes was very, very wrong here.

I believe if Obama lost a child he should not be criticized for how his family would choose to handle it. we can pray that No one has to go through it. If they do it should nerveR be used as a political attack.
really using the death of a child to make a political attack
Has politics really come down this low?
