(.....I think a few on our side would echo Colmes and Robinson and point it out as some sign of freakishness.)

Does the reptilian Alan Colmes really want to make a habit of pointing out the freakish? I don't think he's thought this through.

I wonder if someone at NRO, who are far more eloquent than me, would explain why the Santorum family's action, while not in the main stream, is recommended by medical professionals throughout the country when dealing with the loss of a child.

These people are disgusting. What I find infinitely more weird than Santorum is a "community organizer" named Barack Hussein Obama who spent the first half of his life calling himself "Barry," attended a fringe "church" where his nutty pastor would rail from the pulpit about all manner of governmental and Jewish "conspiracies" and wish damnation upon America, refused for years to release his birth certificate, still refuses to release his college transcripts despite his asserted genius, and has a wife who could not even spell at a fourth grade level in her racialist senior thesis.

What does it say about Mr. Robinson's grip on reality that he can't get down with how the Santorums mourn the loss of a child, but he could get down with Mrs. Santorum asking the doctor to partially deliver the child, but hold it's head in a second while he sucks the living child's brain out?

What does it say about the modern left that two members of the mainstream media's first reaction to Santorum is to attack how he and his family choose to mourn the loss of a child?

What does it say about them that they've apparently never even heard of a wake?

If I may be allowed to be permitted to re-post my comment from the RCP page (though mildly edited):

What a sick and vile human being (and I use that term loosely).

My wife and I lost our first child together; he lived just a minutes. Afterwards, they cleaned him up and handed him to us. We held him, and each other, for hours and cried and cried. If he had siblings, they would have been there too to say goodbye. The are the only hours I ever got to spend with him. Most (decent) medical professionals recommend this these days (it's standard procedure) to allow the parents to grieve and say "goodbye" to their child, rather than having it whisked away like a lump of flesh, an excised tumor.

True story: Some time after this happened, I ran into someone who I had gone a number of rounds with legislatively. He was a liberal as I am conservative. We made polite chit-chat, but I couldn't hide what had happen. I will never forget the look of pain in his eyes; he and his wife had lost their first child as well. In that moment, we had a life-time bond. We were still opponents from time to time, but never foes.

May God have mercy on your soul Mr. Robinson.

All we have left of our son are the ultra-sound pictures, two pictures the nurse took, one of me with him (my wife couldn't bear posing) and the smallest onesie and baby hat you have ever seen. To have lost those precious hours with him is literally unthinkable to me.

I don't think the Left realizes just how powerful this is to so many people.

Well, good luck with your defense of Santorum's. (And as a supporter of the president, I really really mean that.)

I have always liked Eugene Robinson and disliked Rick Santorum, but I too am appalled that, one, Robinson called the child who lived a few hours stillborn, and, two, that he found the Santorums handling of the death "very weird." I was glad to see him offer a sort of apology on Morning Joe on Jan. 6, but I would have liked it had he worded it more apologetically. I am a left-of-Obama Democrat, but when my side is in the wrong, I don't mind admitting it. My heart goes out to the Santorum family. I know that losing that child must have broken their hearts. It would have broken mine. Nor will I condone the mocking of any family that grieves stillbirths or infant deaths. This was horrible.

The left reveals their stunning ignorance and soulless evil nature yet again.

People used to have their dear departed loved ones lie in state inside their homes, sometimes for days, so that friends and family could pay their final respects and reminisce about the person’s life or pray over them, it was called a “wake” and it was a common practice. In fact, we still do these things, only they are now mostly done inside of funeral homes (at HUGE expense to the grieving family, BTW), but it is still called a wake. Has Eugene Robinson (and the other leftist cretins) never heard of a wake?

There were other children in the family who loved their new baby brother long before he was born; the hospital said it might help the children to process their grief if they could see and spend some time with their little baby brother before he had to be buried.

The only thing “sick”, “twisted” or “crazy” about any of this is the evil and disgusting way that the leftist ghouls are beating up on the Santorum family for how they mourned their dear beloved little baby who passed away.

The Santorum family did not do anything illegal, and the hospital allowed them to do this; maybe the hospital thought it better this way than to bring all of the children to the hospital, I don’t know, but the fact of the matter is that people DO spend time with their departed loved ones, it was NOT that long ago when it WAS traditionally done IN THEIR HOMES, and it is only fairly recent that wakes for the dead have been held more usually in funeral homes.

Alan Colmes, Eugene Robinson, and rest of the ignorant and cruel leftist jerks who are saying such disgusting things are ghouls, they are monsters, and they are hardcore jackasses.

Here's a tip: If your argument relies on "code words" or "dog whistle politics" that only you can see and hear, it's probably baloney. Your fantasy of being persecuted by a racist white majority is all in your mind. Yes, there are white bigots. They are stigmatized and ostracized. We whites don't get together and whisper about uppity Negros, we don't abandon the neighborhood in droves when a black family moves in. Mostly we don't give a rip, no matter what you've been told. My teenage son went to his prom, fully 25% of the couples there were interracial. Nobody cared. My 7 year old just asked me last month what the N word meant, he'd never heard it before his best (black) friend Kyran used it. You mentioned "choice" above. I am absolutely HORRIFIED that 25 million black babies have been murdered since Roe, that's not "choice", that's dayum near genocide and I, a white male, have no problems labeling it such. Here's the thing: it's not me and my conservative, Republican kind who are riding the Reaper's scythe through the unborn of your community Mr. Cook, it's the white "progressives" and the elders of that same community. We racists basturds are the ones trying to stop it because we value one life, any life, all human life, regardless of color.

You have the right to your delusions. If you want to scream 'Look, Sancho, a Racist" every time you spy an innocent windmill, it's your choice to beclown yourself. I am no longer going to be a party to your accusations. You can till at windmills until the cows come home, and I'm no longer going to humor you. I am not a racist, the vast majority of the people I know are not racists, and if you persist on claiming that we are, well, that's your problem, not mine. I deal in reality friend. I hope you'll join me one day.
