I do believe Alan Colmes has fallen off his rocker too many times. Responding to Rep. Peter King’s announcement that he would like to hold hearings into our Radical Muslim problem here in the United States, Colmes asserts that angry white Americans are as much of a problem as Radical Muslims.
The real issue with Colmes is that he can’t stand the thought of one group of people being the target of these hearings even though law abiding Muslims aren’t at issue here. It’s the Muslim leaders and anyone else who would continue to radicalize other Muslims into trying to do harm to America for the sake of Islam. It bothers Colmes so much that he throws out a stat of 72 angry white Americas who plotted against the United States. (He doesn’t give a time period and I’m guessing it’s probably in the last 20 years or so as he eventually mentions Timothy McVeigh.) Shortly thereafter Crowley nails him with a stat of 126 Muslims arrested for plots against America in the last two years!
I think King is right on the money wanting to tackle a problem that seems to be festering with no one looking squarely at it. As for Alan Colmes, I’m sure he’ll be screaming with the Democrats at how racist Rep. King is next year once these hearings begin but for now, enjoy the clip below.
