Progressive liberal Democrat Alan Colmes claims we shouldn’t commemorate 9/11

alan_colmesAlan Colmes has always been pathetic. Colmes is pretty best known for being the unofficial nightly punching bag of Sean Hannity on the Hannity and Colmes show. Since being canned from Hannity’s show, Colmes appears weekly on The O’Reilly Factor and Money Rocks with Eric Bolling (on Fox Business Network) and is a punching bag for those hosts and guests on the respective panels. Yesterday though, it might have been official that Colmes went off the deep end. According to Newbusters, Colmes was discussing the 9/11 anniversary coverage on “Fox News Watch.” Colmes said, “Every 9/11 it’s become like a national day of remembrance, which I understand from an emotional standpoint, but I wonder if it’s such a good idea that every year we make such a big deal on the media of it being 9/11.”



Judith Miller, who is another flaming progressive and former New York Times hack actually appeared to tell off Colmes a bit:

ALAN COLMES: The set up to your question I have an issue with which is that the media actually does focus on 9/11. Every 9/11 it’s become like a national day of remembrance, which I understand from an emotional standpoint, but I wonder if it’s such a good idea that every year we make such a big deal on the media of it being 9/11. The terrorists, those who would like to attack us, and those who already have attacked us, must go, “See, they’re commemorating us again.” I’m not sure that this contingent every single year on 9/11 is such a good idea.

JUDITH MILLER: I think it’s a really difficult call, but I don’t see how this country cannot do it, and wait until next year, wait until the tenth. But we must remember. The reason you do it is to remember why we have the counter-terrorism policies we have. Remember why we’re spending the money…

COLMES: That’s not something just for 9/11, though. I think we need to remember that all the time.

MILLER: We have ADD as a nation. We need to be reminded why we’re doing this.

COLMES: 9/11 should not be revered as some kind of national almost holiday…

MILLER: It’s not revered. It’s commemorated.

COLMES: …because the terrorists I’m sure are saying, “Look, they are remembering what we did.”
