Hannity & Colmes Ignores Senator Craig's Arrest
http://www.newshounds.us/2007/08/27/hannity_colmes_ignores_senator_craigs_arrest.php

What are the chances that if a Democratic senator was arrested for lewd, homosexual conduct in an airport men's room it would get no discussion on Hannity & Colmes? Well, just consider that the show devoted at least five discussions to Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's scuffle with a Capitol Hill policeman (at least one was the top story for the night). But there was no discussion on tonight's show about today's revelations that Republican Senator Larry Craig had pleaded guilty to "misdemeanor disorderly conduct" in what his spokesman described as a "he said/he said misunderstanding." Craig has since resigned as Senate co-chairman of the Mitt Romney campaign.

1. You mean you want to drag this pious public servant and children viewing at home through the gutter?
Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 08:46 AM by Feles Mala
"You see, Sen. Craig knew it was a policeman and the secret neocon signal to police is to tap your foot sitting in the restroom stall next to them. He was saying, 'Good job risking your life to protect us from the godless terrorists and sinning liberals.'

"But since some degenerates also tap their foot to request sex in restrooms, suddenly a strong soldier of family values gets his actions taken totally out of context to be vilified by the hypocritical left. How can you call yourself an American?

"Shame. Shame. Just disgusting..." Does that help you as far as what the Hannity side of the response would have been?

2. Colmes - So What About Israel?
I remember when squirrel-like Colmes had an evening talk radio show produced by Fox. It was about 3 years ago. That day, a really big GOP scandal had broken (I forget which one). Colmes comes on the air, completely ignores that scandal, and instead says "So what about Israel." He then used his entire broadcast to divert attention from the scandal by playing into all the Arab-Israeli hostility.

4. Fox is nothing but Propaganda for the White House. If they did talk about it wouldn't they put
a (D) in front of his name.

6. Isn't that par for the course?
In this morning's 'Midland Reporter' news paper it wasn't even mentioned. Yesterday there was a small article on the back page, that made it sound like Craig was falsely accused.

7. I read an article last
night that said CNN devoted 20 minutes discussion about Craig and Fox 3 minutes. They also noted the lack of any party affiliation for Craig. Guess it's just a matter of time before that D shows up after his name.
