The debate began when Colmes responded to a question on whether or not undecided voters will truly stick by Santorum when it’s time to cast a vote. Colmes answered, saying that his rising support will stop short once people “get a load of some of the crazy things he’s said and done, like taking his two-hour-old baby when it died right after child birth home and played with it so that his other children would know that the child was real.”

Colmes is a perfect example of the attitude of those who have embraced the culture of death

I think I can say this without getting put on timeout regarding this incident.

Colmes is an idiot, and a rather callous one at that.

The only time I’ve seen Mahr is on O’Reilly. I really would waste any precious time watching his show. His only argument is that he is smart and everybody else is stupid.

I am forced to watch Colmes when I’m watching O’Reilly. Luckily I record that program so I can fast forward through Colmes
 
Per Rich Lowry, Colmes eventually called Santorum and apologized.
Colmes comments were so offensive. Libs are often flippant about deeply personal and important issues.

It’s called being insensitive and intolerant. 😦

Yep. He’s an arrogant, sarcastic, atheist comedian, and he purposely says things he knows will offend others because he relishes in it. When people react to his comments, such as his recent Tebow tweet, it just feeds his ego.

Coles, for what it is worth, is slightly nicer. At least he apologized.

Actually I thought Santorum was a much bigger man for taking the call for Colmes apology. I seriously doubt I would have. I would have doubted the sincerity of apology made over such a caustic statement - as I currently do. It’s simply a performance for Colmes because he got caught letting his true feeling show - not because of any kind of true remorse.
 
Sentimentalism over Charity is the self-evident motto of the sincere left in the modern world. That’s how you get completely irrational diatribe’s like Mr. Colmes’s assessment.

When my grandfather died we took his corpse from the hospital to a funeral home, pumped the man’s corpse full of preservative chemicals like we’d stuff and mount a deer’s head to a wall, then dressed it up in a new suit and put him in a box on display before committing it to the earth. We called it a wake.

The Santorum family took their child’s body home so they could have a private wake for a few hours and then had the remains buried.

The American Left endorses abortive practices where children of the same developmental state are deliberately killed, dismembered, and thrown away in bio-hazard bins.

Honestly, which processes - upon the exercise of reason and objective view - seem the most uncivilized or strange?

This is a good example unto itself of the sort of disordered reasoning that the left thrives upon.

Not at all a strange thing to do if you believe death is only a way-station in everlasting life, and if you believe in the Communion of Saints, and if you want your children to understand those things. Truth be told, I would have done the same.

If you don’t believe in those things, as i guess Colmes doesn’t, it would seem odd, all right.

Compared to embalming someone’s corpse and putting it on temporary display? Or killing another person outright and throwing their remains in the trash? These things only “make more sense” on an emotional level due to us being desensitized. Rationally it does not compute.

Colmes is a stooge but, to his credit, he did call Senator Santorum and apologized. Santorum accepted the apology. Since he is the one harmed, we should too.

I know several people who have sat with/held their stillborn child. Frankly, it seems to me to be normal behavior. It is only the pro-abort crowd who would think otherwise.

Even the famous late term murderer abortionist, Tiller (God rest his soul) had a funeral chapel for his victims so the mothers who wished, could have a funeral of sorts for their children. Holmes would never criticize Tiller and his ilk. Such is the bizarre state of current affairs.

So Tiller would conspire with the mother to kill her child and then provide facilities to have a funeral? How morbid!

Yeah, the level of depravity in helping parents kill their child and then providing them with funeral services is just unfathomable to me.
 
It WAS vile and callous of Colmes to say that, but at least he apologized.

I agree with others here that Colmes basically is the designated default liberal on Fox------one to humiliate and embarass constantly for the condescending “amusement” of the anchors and regular viewers.

I never understood why HE was chosen for that dubious position. He really never has stood up for himself and has allowed the other commentators to define him and overwhelm him. I know many other liberals that would actually stand up for himself/herself and be a good “contrasting” presence on the news channel. Colmes has just been a lousy representative of his particular political affiliation.

Just my observations.

For what they’re worth.
