The Right Scoop
There but for the grace of God, go I.
God blessed the Santorum family with a beautiful child and Mr and Mrs Santorum wanted to celebrate this gift of their child, Gabrielle, to their family. I am curious of the hard heartedness of the comments of Colmes of Fox News and Gene Robinson of MSNBC as well as others from the liberal community. Shall we call their comments....well "weird". To those who have shared their declarations of weirdness concerning the extremely personal decisions of dealing with the death of a child...THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD, GO I.

Describing the Santorums as taking their dead baby home "to play with it" is a mocking statement.
Considering science shows the abortion trauma is worse than the rape trauma, he's right in a sense, though a moral one and certainly not a legal one...
He makes sound bipartisan sense on issues like Medicare reform, etc. Santorum understands the issues Ron Paul is trying to address, but with a more common-sense attitude, and I think that he needs to bridge the gap between governmental/social attitude adjustment-though in a different direction than Mr Paul-and our current ways of doing things in this country.
Nobody gets foreign policy in my opinion, but none of the candidates are perfect.
Does colmes have children? somehow I don't think so, or he would know by his love for them what it is like to have a child born dead, or die within hours.
His reaction is that of a 12-year-old boy. Giggling and sneering and being outrageous because he doesn't know what to do with the strength of the emotion and the circumstance.
I would have told the man to go join Osama Bin Laden in a very hot place! Alan should be glad that the Santorums are so gracious.
Fire Combs, isn't that what we do with idiot reporters? Oh wait, depends who they attack...
Actually, while Colmes is indeed a lefty idiot, he is a gentleman and this was very uncharacteristic of him. Sometimes, politics is just too much.
I'm glad to see Rich working a decent gig now that the weather is cold and he can't pick up any cash mowing my lawn.
I assume that everyone here realizes that I have absolutely zero compassion, pity or patience with someone that is as low as Alan "Beetlejuice" Colmes, and that had I been on the opposite side of that interview, my remarks would've been far more harsh and severe.
Mr. Colmes has always been and always will be so up Obamas butt that he can't even see reality. He is an idiot...
Colmes has tweeted that he called Santorum and his wife and apologized for the comment, an apology which was accepted.
"just spoke to @ricksantorum. He and Karen graciously accepted my apology for a hurtful comment"
I'm not sure he's "using it to win a primary." It happened, he was asked about it, he answered the question, and now he's being viewed as jamming it down people's throats. It's similar to Tim Tebow. He bends a knee to honor his Lord in the midst of life, the media highlights it and then acts like it's him (Tebow) who's jamming Christianity down people's throats. The media has this weird prism where they pick something they're uncomfortable with, try to make sure YOU'RE uncomfortable with it, & then spins it into a context where the subject seems to be the one jamming things down people's throats. I didn't write this very well, but hopefully someone out there can hear what I'm trying to say... (hopefully you have your decoder rings on...)
I am pretty shocked at Combs. This is something I would expect from Bill Maher or some other leftwing troglodyte. Combs must be trying to get some attention since he is not on TV that much anymore. I can image what I would do if I had a child die.
But he says he doesn't judge anybody - that's not his job. [oh man- that guy makes me find the Mute button faster than my puppy finds a piece of dinner left on the table!]
Olbermann said something at least as despicable as Colmes when he tweeted:
"On so many levels (S.E. Cupp’s) a perfect demonstration of the necessity of the work of Planned Parenthood does."
Meaning she should have been aborted or not born at all. Doesn't get more despicable as that.
I am still shell shocked over this. colmes has issue with that but is fine with partial birth abortions
My favorite book series of all time, and favorite movies!! I think I may have to watch it tonight ;-) Thanks C!
No, it's not sick. Mommy goes the hospital to have the baby that's been talked about for months, but comes home without it. How does that look to the child?
Amen to that! One of my nieces was born terrifyingly early, and the NICU staff fought like Spartans to keep her alive. You'd never know it to look at her today.
Liberals are absolute vermin. If they fear they won't get their way, they're determined to cause someone pain over it.
This is the first I have heard of this story. I was wondering what the left was going to slam Santorum on and this is most likely it. The left will make it so odd and strange that the "hopeless dopes" will believe it and turn away from him. A family member lost a newborn last year and they opted to hold the child for hours and talk to it and share in some part of that life to have a connection and a personal closing, rather than a cold walking away as if the life never happened. I understand and support him and his wife for making that decision and do not find it that odd. First of all it was not that long ago that most funerals were held in homes. Some are opting for other solutions to making final plans.
I think the reason why we are now backing Santorum is because first we backed Bachmann and came to realize that we had doubts that she could take it all the way to the WH. Then there was Cain and then we were willing to go along with Gringrich because of the hope that he could do some well deserved ass kicking in DC. Hunstman is pretty much finished and until this week I thought he dropped out. Ron Paul will not get enough support. I am curious why the left keeps trying to push Romney in front of us to support but many distruct him as much as Gingrich. Not sure if Perry can make any sort of a comeback. That leaves Santorum and that is why he is gaining support. He may be our last hope (oops true hope not the phony baloney be got with Bummer).
Watch the entire interview as it continues to the end
How else am I supposed to watch it? In order to watch it continue to the beginning, I'd have to play it in reverse.
Evanescence: "You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you’ll fall like overripe fruit into our hands. We are convinced that sooner or later Capitalism will perish, just as Feudalism perished earlier.......All the world will come to Communism. History does not ask whether you want it or not." ~Nikita Khruschev, U.S.S.R. United Soviet Socialist Republics, Interview Osaka, Japan, June 18 (*171*252*333*414*585*666*747*828*999*Revelation 13:1) , 1957. "
I have been posting that quote for a long time. People don't get it. The left wants it so, they hide it or say Khruschev is dead so it can't happen. Well, I hate to say it. It is happening right in front of us and the left do not want to admit it. Thank you for posting it. The left should read "The Road to Surfdom" might change a mind or two....
Colmes has always been a sleazebag (my apologies to any sleazebags offended by that comparison). Don't forget that he tried to float the idea that Sarah Palin caused her child's Downs Syndrome by continuing to work and and take trips while pregnant; he got so much heat for that that he had to shut off the ability to post comments.
He continues his shameful tactic of using someone's quote against them even after it's been clarified or explained when that clarification shows that the point he is trying to use it to make is wrong.
As for the Iraq withdrawal being Bush's time line, Bush's time line was always contingent on conditions on the ground and the advice and concerns of the military commanders. Obama simply looked at his Dayplanner and said "Time to leave. Screw you Generals".
Our son came home at just under 4 lbs!! AND he looked gigantic.
Glad your guy is doin' well today!
The ancient Egyptians used to embalm stilborn babies, as is evidenced by the little mummies that have been found in tombs.
I can't believe the number of people her who see the dead body as scary and something to be avoided. Death is the end of life - and therefore is a part of life. It does seem strange that a family would talk for months about the coming baby, but then if it dies, just tell the children the baby dies and Mommy is sad. Children wonder and imagine whatever they will imagine.
The Santorums allowed their children to experience a normal part of life, and to see that the dead body and soul of their brother was beautiful, tiny and loved. There was nothing to fear, as some of the commenters here feel. The people who find this disgusting have their own issues with death, and dead bodies, and I think they are the ones who need to rethink why they are afraid or disgusted by the dead.
The Santorums are a mature couple. Bringing their baby home was an act of love, for both the deceased baby and the rest of the family.
My guess is the Santorum children will not have an unnatural fear of corpses.
I would love for this man to be President.
Our son was born early too, just about two months early. Only weighed 2 pounds. He's 23 now! Aren't the NICU's amazing? (Both for patient and parents)
He too, is an incredible kid.
