How about you sending an email to Boko Haram Colmes? Surely they will panic and release the girls held hostage.
Alan May 12th, 2014 at 10:35 am
how about you put an avatar so you’re not anonymous. Also, how about you come up with something more original than “nobama”
Nobama May 12th, 2014 at 10:49 am
Typical response from a liberal. Deflect much? How am I not surprised. I guess next response will be ” RACIST” from an imbecile like you. Must be bored waiting to receive your talking points from the White House.
Carla Akins May 12th, 2014 at 12:10 pm
Wow, that was an intelligent point based on substance. I can’t imagine why someone doesn’t engage you in a discussion.

Since you obviously support the GOP you must be a 1 percenter, a right wing evangelical, a gun totin’ NRA nut, or one who enjoys voting against his own self-interests. I’m pretty sure you’re not a 1 percenter, So which is it?
Nobama May 12th, 2014 at 5:36 pm
Not GOP, not a 1 percenter, not a right wing evangelical, { actually agnostic} don’t own a gun. I want to see people pull themselves up out of poverty like I have. Get out of Mommy’s basement and do something with your life. The world owes you nothing.
Obewon May 12th, 2014 at 6:34 pm
“Not GOP,”-means? You voted for 1, of only 2 Independent Legislators of all 535 congressional members? Sen. (I-Vt) Bernie Sanders, or Sen. (I-Me) Angus King! Today’s GOP rubes are so uninformed they don’t even know their Boehner’s house has 0 Independents. http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/cong.aspx Teabagging Limbaugh, et al kills brain cells.

“Limbaugh, et al kills brain cells”
explains all the truck drivers that used to call Colmes heh
ok that was mean.. I didnt mean ALL truck drivers just the ones that called Colmes

Nobama, calm down. Stop with the name calling. If you have something to say, take a deep breath and say it with a touch of civility and respect. Cause if you’ve come here to troll that just won’t do. People will respond to you the way you present yourself. Try it the other way with a little less hostility even though you disagree with most on here. Thanks.
Oblowz May 12th, 2014 at 8:09 pm
So calling Brit Hume and George Will “Sweethearts” is the norm here? You and the clan of MSNBC do nothing for the liberal cause and thrive on bashing and name calling. People don’t care for that crap and turn it off. Grow up. I am not on the TV and radio; you are. You live to stir up sh%t and piss people off.
arc99 May 12th, 2014 at 11:59 am
Alan, why do you put up with people like ‘Nobama’?
Personally I would not mind at all if this forum adopted some of the practices of right wing blogs like redstate.com
http://www.redstate.com/posting-rules/
13. The dissemination of talking points from the Democrat Party, or its politicians and allies, is not allowed.
Tom Ward May 12th, 2014 at 12:22 pm
That rule is pathetic, I don’t think Alan would ever stoop to their level in that regard.
arc99 May 12th, 2014 at 1:30 pm
Tom I do not actually disagree with you. But I do get tired of drive-by trolls who have nothing to offer other than hostility and insults.
Alan May 12th, 2014 at 1:17 pm
Well, that doesn’t even make sense since there is no “Democrat Party,” any more than there is a “Republic Party”
Nobama May 12th, 2014 at 8:19 pm
How do you like my avatar Colmes? I am the original Nobama. Others use a number after that clever title.
Chinese Democracy May 12th, 2014 at 8:55 pm
its so sad watching Colmes try to keep up with your intellect. No one is laughing at you. No really
Obewon May 12th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Andy the Southern Baptist Twitchy & Daily Caller devotee must be the real deal! “The Original NOBAMA Bumper Sticker”-$5 with a free autograph! http://www.cafepress.com/landoverbaptist.372485513 Here’s more clowncar garbage. But hurry! These overstocked scam supplies won’t last long, while too many GOP fools are being fleeced daily.

LOL the NoBama bumper sticker is on Betty Bowers sight. I love Betty Bowers. “So close to God he validates my parking” She also had a lovely What Would Jesus Do thong for sale as well .
Alan May 13th, 2014 at 11:50 am
yes, he has out-intellected me. Is “intellected” a word?
Chinese Democracy May 13th, 2014 at 4:17 pm
if intellected is not a word. It needs to be .
Tom Ward May 12th, 2014 at 10:37 am
What Julie Pace said. It doesn’t directly help but it makes people more aware and the more aware people are the more support that will be given to an action that
actually can help.
That was actually a pretty good back-and-forth for Fox news.. one could even say it was *pause for effect* fairly balanced. Juan Williams and the other guy should not have laughed though, that was pretty uncalled for.
John Tarter May 12th, 2014 at 10:41 am
People like Boko Haram laugh at our weakness.
arc99 May 12th, 2014 at 11:03 am
and decent people are disgusted by your moral support for Boko Haram
John Tarter May 12th, 2014 at 2:39 pm
What moral support? Posting signs on the net is all fine and dandy from the comfort of one’s home, but groups like Boko Haran eschew such nicities and kill and kidnap people despite those stupid signs. It might make you feel better but it is a totally useless exercise.
arc99 May 12th, 2014 at 6:04 pm
so your contribution to the discussion is to criticize people doing what little they can instead of condemning the terrorists.
yes, moral support.
what is it with you right wingers? I can think of nothing more useless than your partisan criticism of people expressing their concern for the victims of a horrible crime.
right wingers cheered when we lost out on hosting the Olympics. I suppose expecting common decency from right wingers is asking too much.
but you go right ahead demonstrating those good old fashioned moral values right wingers pretend to have a monopoly on. apparently those values now include classifying the expresssion of concern for the innocent victims of terrorists as “stupid”.
oh by the way, I suppose all those remember 9/11 bumper stickers were a stupid useless exercise too since al Qaeda eschews such niceties ?
Chinese Democracy May 12th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
I dont think the # Hashtag was ever designed to influence any wingnuts in Africa .. or here. I think it is designed to bring world wide awareness to the plight of those girls.
We will leave it to the Israeli counter terrorism teams to “influence” Boko Haram. They wont be laughing long
Carla Akins May 12th, 2014 at 8:57 pm
Yes, large groups of people outraged over an act such as this can bring pressure to the Nigerian administration. As well as placing pressure on those countries that can offer assistance to the administration to end this tragedy. The US has a long and noble history of activism, welcome to the 2014 version.
Carla Akins May 12th, 2014 at 8:53 pm
So for 9 hours all you have done is behave boorishly, acting rude and contemptuous to all of the other posters. We’ve asked you to engage in a discussion of substance and we are happy to argue the issue on its merits but you seem determined to only offer your opinion (with no evidence) that we’re wrong and you’re right. You are right about one thing, people don’t care for that crap and they’ve tuned you out because you offer nothing of value.
Chinese Democracy May 12th, 2014 at 9:01 pm
so you yanked the red tag off of your electric meter and got electricity in your trailer just long enough to get on your puter and share your brilliance with the world.
Wonderful! But. I need to clear a couple things up for ya
1. Colmes has never and does not work for MSNBC
2. You are doing all the thriving on the attention from being such a “sweetheart”
3. the warning was. YOU will be turned off if you dont grow up
your welcome
Epiphany Dh May 12th, 2014 at 9:08 pm
I am not on the TV or the radio. But I am telling you that even though you may disagree with others, indeed you do need to grow up and present your opposing views in an adult manner. In other words please try a little harder to be less hostile in your disagreements, otherwise take it elsewhere. We welcome your views but not the hostility, the name calling and the need to push people’s buttons. This is your last warning. I am sure if you try very hard you can do better than your previous comments. But that is up to you.

lol, prayer.
