Are you judging Chris Wallace’s love and honor of his father? How well do you know him?
If your father is “losing it” but he is still being quoted in the media, is it better to sit back and remain quiet? As long as he is seeking help for his father, I think he’s being a good son.
If, on the other hand, his father is still of sound mind, he could have worded his differences better…ala Mel Gibson refusing to discuss his father’s anti-semitic views.

I don’t see a reason for him to bring this out in public.

If Chris Wallace thinks that his father has “lost it,” why did he have him on his show recently. Maybe Chris was trying to be funny in his interview, but if he really believes what he said, he needs to talk with his father off camera. It’s seems awfully disrespectful to say such a thing about your father in an interview.

Points well taken. It would have been better if he said, “I’d rather not discuss my father’s mental well being.”
…just kidding.
I meant he should have said, “my father and I don’t agree on everything, but I won’t discuss his viewpoints out of respect for him.” Again…ala Mel Gibson.
Meanwhile, as a casual observer without judging Chris Wallace’s sinfulness, I happened to find it interesting.

Mike Wallace was wrong…only 51% of America 
Anyone notice the difference between this Father and Son and Mel and his dad?.. not letting personal differences, etc cause the two to down each other in public despite their views?

I think Chris Wallace could have disagreed and still have been respectful. To say that your father has “lost it” etc. is really awful imo. He could have said, “Well, Dad and I disagree politically. I think he is off the mark on this one. I do respect many of his other opinions though.”
I also think Mel Gibson went too far by not saying that he thought his dad was wrong. He didn’t need to be disrespectful, but say that he didn’t agree with his father on this issue. That isn’t dishonoring a parent. Holocaust denial is sick.

Mike Wallace “lost it” a long time ago when he embraced without question and swallowed whole the lunacy that has become the DNC. The liberal agenda he once believed in–giving a the working man a break, helping the needy with entitlements, and fighting big business have soured into supporting every fringe group with a grudge and spewing hatred upon every conservative, and especially on GWB for having the audacity to prove the DNC wrong, time and time again. It’s a worn-out agenda to go on blaming Bush for everything and to continually prophecy doom and gloom while ignoring reality. I’m only glad the elder Wallace is no longer on the tube, scowling and grumbling at corporate America and the Rep party’s supposed support of it, all the while he was employed by one of the largest corporations on the face of the earth.

Just because somebody is a Democrat, doesn’t mean that he or she has “lost it” and it just shows how low the political discussion in this country has gone since the dawn of right-wing talk radio that somebody who is of a different party is now considered certifiably crazy. I don’t agree with Republicans, but I don’t think that they are all certifiable.

Maybe YOU don’t think of Republicans that way, but I assure you that the Mike Wallace’s of the world do.

If you are correct, and the Mike Wallace’s of the world think that all Republicans are crazy, do you think it is helpful to the political climate in this country to take this point of view? How is accusing all Democrats of insanity helpful to the dialogue and discourse we should be having about important issues of the day?

Whether or not he’s correct in his assessment of his father’s condition, these things need to be handled charitably, respectfully, and privately. I was saddened to hear the the son of Ronald Reagan was using the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his father’s birth to drag his name through the mud. These things set a bad example for the rest of society.

I think freedom of speech has a great deal to do with this. Just because one makes statements you don’t agree with doesn’t mean you have a competency hearing; on the other hand if he was going around threatening to kill or injure people, that’s a different story; he at that time could become a hazard to himself or society.
