With one exception in this exchange, talk show host Alan Colmes was way out of his league with Robert Spencer when it came to the debate about Anders Behring Breivik's manifesto quoting Spencer 64 times. Spencer is simply too much of an expert in the area of Islam. He had his facts ready to go at practically every turn. You know you've gotten the better of Colmes when you get him to move on to another question and Spencer did that quite a bit. The one time he didn't was when Colmes asked him if he agreed with a quote from Pamela Geller about Obama being born in Kenya and how he converted to Islam while in Pakistan. Spencer did avoid answering that one.
However, perhaps the best answer he gave was when Colmes challenged him on the Ground Zero mosque being a 'victory mosque.' Spencer immediately brought up the Dome of the Rock, which was built on the site of the Jewish Temple. Shortly thereafter, Colmes moved on.
On a scale of 1 to 10, Spencer gets a 9.5.
