Regressive Dems Nix FoxNews Debate

Gotta love it. But can you imagine if the Republican's started to pick and choose who covers their debate, excluding say PMSNBC? I don't think I would find it acceptable.

no problemo.

It's a sad testimony. The party that "advocates" diversity, open mindedness, free speech, (remember it's abig tent) unless it involves someone of a different political mindset. Won't even enter a debate! So how are they going to reach out to others if they won't even enter into debate with them? It's very telling.

"No truth but Our Truth"

This just in....

"We have not received official word from the Nevada State Democratic Party disclosing a change in debate plans. Rumors are being circulated and if true, news organizations will want to think twice before getting involved in the Nevada Democratic Caucus which appears to be controlled by radical fringe out-of-state interest groups, not the Nevada Democratic Party. In the past, Moveon.org has said they 'own' the Democratic party—while most Democrats don't agree with that, we're waiting to see if that's the case in Nevada." -- David Rhodes, Vice President, Fox News...

I'm saddened by Nevada...a state with wonderful people and one corrupt city overpowering the entire state.

MoveOn.org has hijacked the democrat party. Personally, I would stop supporting these 527s - they are going to have a louder voice than the party.

Going to?

justJoe - I agree... they have already exceeded the voice of the democrat party.

Kathleen... Mitch is playing dumb. He did it on purpose, and even when I asked him to remove it he asked me for a 'linky'. Anywho, I copied and pasted his message onto his most recent story just to show him how easy it is to find a users articles... and lo and behold, his article got flagged. Ain't that somehting? lol

EDITORIAL: Meltdown over Fox

Network co-sponsors state Democratic debate -- oh my!

Hard-core liberals can't stand the Fox News Channel. Passing a television that's tuned to the conservative favorite forces many of them to close their eyes, cover their ears and scream, "La la la la la la la la la!" Then they dash to their computers and fire off 2,500 e-mails condemning the outlet, none of which are ever read.

But liberals' aversion to Fox News has finally gone over the top. The Nevada Democratic Party had agreed to let the right-tilting network co-sponsor, of all things, an August debate in Reno between Democratic presidential candidates. Party officials were serious about drawing national attention to the state's January presidential caucus, the country's second in the 2008 nominating process. What better way for the party to reach conservative and "values" voters who might consider changing allegiances?

But the socialist, Web-addicted wing of the Democratic Party was apoplectic. The prospect of having to watch Fox News to see their own candidates would have been torture in itself. So they set the blogosphere aflame with efforts to kill the broadcast arrangement, or at least have all the candidates pull out of the event. Before Friday, the opportunistic John Edwards was the only candidate to jump on that bandwagon.

You'd think the deal called for having Sean Hannity and Ann Coulter mock the candidates between comments. No, even unfiltered, unedited, live debate between loyal Democrats couldn't be entrusted to Fox News.

The approach of outfits such as MoveOn.org is so juvenile it's laughable. Imagine if every political organization created litmus tests for news organizations before agreeing to appear on their programming. Republicans would have boycotted PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, National Public Radio and The Associated Press decades ago.

This hyperventilation results from the fact that far-left Democrats have no comparable media outlet, nor any widespread national appeal, for their radical views in favor of heavy-handed regulation, wealth redistribution, diplomatic capitulation and economic protectionism. So they attack their rivals' messenger with a reckless barrage of rhetoric that cuts down their own allies with friendly fire.

By Friday, the Nevada Democratic Party caved in to the lunatic fringe and beganseeking a more "appropriate" television partner.

Comedy Central, perhaps?

Now that really was brilliant and funny..... nice.

How sad. They can't even attend a debate hosted by FOX, as if it were Kryptonite. This is very telling that the party of tolerance and diversity is anything but.
"No Truth but OUR Truth" The new American Fascist party in the making.

And John Edwards is supposed to be a leader --- and this is what he leads. He was the first big name to jump. What a pathetic loser.

It never stops impressing me how the uninformed find a voice. Your a little special aren't ya Don?

Why can't you neo-cons just use some constructive criticism of candidates you don't agree with, instead of acting like two years olds, and using stupid name calling! Why would any sane person want to go on Faux Network from either party? They never provide open debates on any news programs. Instead they invite on several commentators on a huge issue, and spend ten minutes yelling back and forth at each other, and then cut them off, and laugh and belittle the one they don't agree with. The infancy of psuedo realistic journalism! When Faux can provide a realistic debate platform, I'm sure any politicians would be more than happy to appear on there. As it exists, Faux could even make John Kerry look good if they supported him, and had him on one of their psuedo debatacles!~laugh~

And p.s., This is not Bush bashing, but don't you think the country deserves to know what his IQ really is. I'm only asking because my 15 year old son speaks much more fluent English than our leader does. I guess the actual intelligence of neo-con leaders does not really matter to neo-cons as long as they have the power! That is truly a scary thought! Could we have GWB on " Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader? ....That could be a hilarious show! Sadly, I know he would lose hands down, and I'm not joking!
