Rick Santorum: Alan Colmes and Gabriel

Yesterday, liberal Democrat Alan Colmes took a very cheap shot at Rick Santorum.

While debating with Rich Lowry, editor of National Review, Colmes mocked Santorum for his actions after the death of his newborn son, Gabriel.

From FOX News:

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.”

A maddened Lowry then cut off Colmes, calling the statement “a cheap shot.”

“To take something that is that personal and that hurtful as losing a child and mocking it like that … that is beneath you, Alan,” he said. “What you’re saying is contemptible.”

Watch:



In this segment, Colmes behaves terribly inappropriately, and, sadly, like many Leftists.

Turns out, Colmes agreed that he made a mistake for mocking the Santorums about how they dealt with their son's death. He apologized to Santorum and his wife.



Will other Leftists follow Colmes' lead and quit these cruel attacks on Santorum?

Highly unlikely.
