Rich Lowry Vs. Charles Barron (VIDEO)

December 9, 2006 Are You Kidding Me?, Crime, Liberal Bed-Wetters, Race Warlords, Video Comments

Wow! Is this ever some good-ol’ sparrin’ on Hannity & Colmes tonight. It’s sometimes boring when Sean’s gone, and Rich Lowry can also be somewhat less than assertive. But man, oh, man, somebody put some Red Bull in his coffee or something before the show!

Tonight one of the topics was the recent NYPD shooting of Sean Bell, and the protests that have been going on in the city against the NYPD. NYC Councilman Charles Barron was on, of course, to slam the cops in any way he can. Rich starts out asking him about the tens of thousands of murders that take place in NYC every year, and the proportion of which are black, and Rich wanted to know when Mr. Barron was going to start protesting THOSE crimes. Then all hell breaks loose.

Finally Alan breaks them up (which was very difficult to do), and Alan says something like ‘well, you know not all cops are bad,’ and Barron says he doesn’t know any cops! Golly gee whiz, if you’re going to sell them down the river wholesale, wouldn’t you find yourself a bit more credible if you knew at least some of them, and not just read the papers for the stories? Might be a good thing, as sometimes newspapers can be a bit inflammatory.

This turned out to be “race warlord” week on Hannity and Colmes. Lots of good stuff!
