Fail.


The last two sentences of your post just eliminate any credibility you might have had on this issue, and the shame should be on you. How dare YOU assume that liberals don't suffer emotionally from miscarriages.

There's a mental disorder here alright, and it has little to do with politics.
Note whose posts you selectively deconstruct. Not those of the self-identified libs here. Hmmm...

And I never stated that liberal don't suffer from miscarriages, I'm attacking the people here attacking Santorum for he and his wife's suffering and how they chose to deal with it. Assumptiom fail!

As an aside: I don't support Santorum any more then I support Perry or Bachman. His stance on LGBT issues is enough for him to lose my vote.

Nice job of totally ignoring the fact the OP was little more than a lame attempt at connecting the words 'liberal' and 'vile' over the musings of a media pundit by someone who in the past has lauded conservative pundits for much the same type of action, e.g. the whinings of Ann Coulter.

So, GUESS AGAIN!

It wasn't someone from the left who attempted to make this a partisan issue from square one.

Would Colmes have been so incensed over the issue had it been a liberal dealing with the loss of their child? Somehow I think not.

This whole thread is about right-wing manufactured outrage.

Santorum made this public, and I bet it was for no other reason than to pander to the more rabid pro-life crowd.

Colmes commented on it, because it was fair game.

Also, as you might have noticed, Colmes is not exactly alone in his opinion that Santorum's way of handling this was weird.

I think anyone who thinks a particular ideology has a monopoly on some negative human trait has a mental problem, I don't care if they are liberal or conservative. If you think Colmes is a jerk say so and move on, if you think Santorum is weird say so and move on don't say silly things like "liberals make fun of people who had a child die" or "conservatives love sleeping with corpses". The universe does not revolve around a left-right paradigm, the words conservative and liberal are subjective and have no higher meaning.

Would you if Limbaugh made the comments about Obama? Probably not

Oh I'm quite well versed in irony, are you?

And did he make it public? I don't know. I certainly never heard of this before Colmes brought it up and Santorum was asked about it. Why did Colmes feel the need to bring up the Santorum's child, dead since 1996? Was it to make a partisan attack on him?

No, but you did say: So once again the loony left manages to make everything a parisan(sic) issue when it was clearly made a parftisan issue from post #1 by one of the self-Righteous.

You better damn well believe I would. Contrary to what you people believe not everyone on the right listens to or follow Rush and I would certainly take him to task for such comments. I didn't agree with Coulter's comments on the 9/11 widows, I thought they were tacky and insensitive.
