Slate Issues Vitriolic Obituary For Fox News Host Alan Colmes

"... buffoon ..."

The liberal website Slate issued a cynical, hate-filled obituary for Fox News host Alan Colmes just a few hours after his passing Thursday.

“Alan Colmes, Buffoon and Patsy, Was Fox News’ Original Liberal Weakling,” declared the article’s headline.

Slate’s Issac Chotiner wrote that Colmes, who died at age 66 following a brief illness, deserved scorn for not being a good enough liberal.

“Colmes was the most absurd, useless, and mocked television personality in America for many years, precisely because he was nice,” Chotiner wrote.

“In the context of Fox News, being a nice guy — and a ‘liberal’ nice guy at that — meant being a buffoon, and a patsy. Colmes not only played the part to perfection — he defined it,” the writer continued.

Apparently, in the eyes of Slate, the fact that Colmes was considered a good friend and colleague by the personalities at Fox News is worthy of condemnation in and of itself.

When there is no accountability or true retribution out there - folks/websites will say what they wish. Truly sad. Come to think about it, what is news right now is forgotten 10 minutes later with the latest "BREAKING NEWS".

Too cold/windy for fishing today, some College B-Ball tourney's have started maybe some suds/wings/keno action at a local watering hole bayside!

Sick. This is what it means to be liberal in 2017

Colmes was a die-hard liberal and ALL that he espoused was the far left liberal view. He was only a contributor to FOX news to fulfill Fox News commitment to be "Fair and Balanced." The liberals will eat their own if they so much as talk to a conservative. It is truly pathetic.

And another liberal bus driver just ran over one of their own. If haunting were real, I wish slate and cohorts very sleepless nights and a lot of looking over their shoulders.

OTOH, the idiot who penned this post-mortem hit piece will have an obit that notes he wrote for Slate. Time immemorial won't erase that kind of shame.
