If You Want Me, It’s Really Out Of The Question

Hosting the Strategy Room, which I’m now doing Thursdays at 2PM, has engendered some strong responses.

Bruce, you can’t “go back” to a place you’ve never been.

I can’t listen anymore to Alan Colmes and his spouting absurd comments and shouting people down. He did the same thing on Hannity and Colmes and I quit watching that show because of the shouting and because when other people say something he, as most liberals, can’t make an intelligent response but seem to think their response should be to bash someone else.

Something tells me Marge has no problem with impassioned conservatives shouting, because those contain intelligent responses.  Right, Marge?

Alan Colmes….do you usually host the 2:00 hour on strategy room? I haven’t been able to watch in a while however if you do host….i’m not tuning in. You don’t shut up long enough for anyone to talk. Get a grip. Admit the media is liberal…called Bush names….fully supports everything Obama does no matter what it is. Good Grief.

Hey, Ashley, thanks for giving me a chance.

Alan – aren’t you on the wrong network – MSNBC would be a much better fit for you than Fox, possibly with Keith Olbermann.

I love watching the Strategy Room, but you are such a left wing nut I can’t take it! I’ll tune back in when your hour is over.

Oh, so you want FOX to have only one point of view expressed, so you don’t have to dirty your mind with any other?

Alan,

Have you ever been camping? Everything you just cited as examples of torture happen on camping trips.
Bugs – Check
Cold small room – Check
Going hungry – Check

Oh yeah…I have fond memories of camping…having someone put a mask over my face, blindfold me, and dunking me in water so I thought I was drowning to death; being thrown against walls; spending the night in a coffin with bugs in a near-freezing room.  And then we went canoeing.

Alan,

I don’t expect you to read this, but for me, torture is hearing your demagoguery on the Strategy Room

Yes, as a matter of fact, I am getting an exemption in the next Geneva Convention.

It’s awfully easy to sit there in a nice comfortable room with no risks saying that what the Bush administration did was wrong. Alan, you make me feel like you could care less if Americans are killed in a terrorist attack.

Believing we should not torture people does not equate to not caring about my fellow Americans.  In fact, it is my love of country and  the upholding of its values that informs my strongly-held belief that treating another human being in that manner goes against everything we stand for.  Besides that, it doesn’t work.
