Down Goes Ailes

Nevada Dems Nix Fox Debate

UPDATE: Doesn’t the Fox response validate exactly why the Dems shouldn’t be in business with them? They’re a propaganda network, clean and simple.

    And you were pooh-poohing Obama for taking a pass…

  2. pedromd07 says:

    And you guys are PROUD of this?

  3. Duros: That wasn’t this debate. That was a local-tv sponsored event and not a debate. And yes, pedro, I do. Go ahead, lecture us again, offer us another dumb piece of advice.

  4. Rheinhard says:

    Damn right I’m proud. Roger Ailes has the audacity to lecture the candidates for the nomination for the Presidency from the Democratic party whom they should and should not be listening to after deriding them as interchangeable with Osama bin Laden? It’s time that he and all the other propagandist mouthpieces be made to remember just who it is runs this country: the people!

    This will only get better: the Fox news hosts will scream and rant louder and louder about the terrible radicals controlling the Democrats, spew spittle into their microphones about the fifth column in this country, and people will wake up and see through the veneer of “fair and balanced”.

    And Drudge, you’re next.

    I’m glad that NDP decided to pull out. John Edwards took the leadership role to first “Just say no to Fox”.

    The 21st Century Moral Majority is rising, and it doesn’t necessarily belong to the Conservatives in the Republican party.

  6. pedromd07 says:

    yea, toqueville warned us about the “tyranny of the minority”…..

    If the republicans behaved like the petulant child democrat party, and boycotted every liberal biased news agency, you would never see a debate.

  7. Wilbur says:

    If the republicans …boycotted every liberal biased news agency

    Sounds like a good idea to me.

    Since, according to Republicans, they’re all liberally biased except for Fox, that means we’d never see ‘em.

    Good riddance, say I.

  8. The advice trolls are out in earnest, the constructors of the Republican minority lecture us on how to run a party.

    Nice to see that Liberals no longer believe in Freedom of the Press.

    You dont even understand what that word fucking means do you? They chose, freely, not to have their first national debate sponsored by a news organization that is demonstrably hostile to the party. The same way Fox chooses, freely, to promate a factually-inaccurate conservative viewpoint. You’re lying to yourself to try and feel better about something stupid. Heres the handy key for those playing at home.

    Newspapers that print information they know to be untrue and cannot cannot substantiate such claims must be held to account == I oppose the freedom of the press, as all newspapers must adhere to my homo-communist viewpoint.

    I dont think that Govt funds should be spent teaching religion in public schools. == I oppose freedom of religion, and non-homo-communist anyone who believes in God must be shot.

    I think people who shout “Fire” in a crowded theater should be held responsible for doing so. == I am against freedom of speech for non-homo-communists, and anyone who says anything I dont like must be shot.

    I think people who shot other people in cold blood should go to jail. == I oppose everyone’s right to bear arms of any kind to defend themselves against the growing surge of homo-communism.

    Am I getting it about right or are there bits I’m missing? Tell you what, why dont you just unload all the nonsense you think about liberals that you know you cant substantiate legitimately at all and we’ll work through the dross to translate into sane-speak.

    I’m glad to see the crypto-fascist tendencies of the american left are starting to shine through.

    Whether or not a news organization has a bias (they all do…), the idea of boycotting them is simply a way to wipe opposing ideas off the landscape of public discourse.

    The most successful version of this was “Pravda” in the soviet union.

    You should be proud to follow in the footsteps of the giants that quashed alternative ideas and shrink the public discourse….

  12. Raijin says:

    Man, right-wing trolls are so demoralized these days that they don’t even try any more.

  13. Duros62 says:

    I oppose everyone’s right to bear arms of any kind to defend themselves against the growing surge of homo-communism.


    ..and must be shot.

  14. Nimrod Gently says:

    Jesus Christ, Pedro, shut the fuck up. The biggest example of what you’re talking about is Fox News itself, hence the boycott. Why should the Democratic party treat them like they’re not a propaganda machine which often compares them to or paints them as sympathetic toward Al-Qaeda? Reap the whirlwind, motherfuckers.

    Anyone of you babies on the right want to acknowledge the bit where Fox were afraid to co-host the debate with Air America, leading to this boycott?

  15. merlallen says:

    I see the backwash is getting desperate. 28%! damn, chickengeorge is making Nixon look popular.

  16. Duros62 says:

    **Sigh** I miss Nixon.

  17. I agree with the decision for the Dems to not do the debate, but not for the reason given.

    I actually see Roger Ailes’s comment being more of a joke on Bush than an equivocation between bin Laden and Obama. And to top it off, it’s fucking funny! Color me surprised.

  18. Jay says:

    Jeebus. Democrats are nothing but the biggest bunch of crybabies I’ve ever seen.

    Grow up already. Ooh. Democrats pulled out of a debate on Fox News. All the nutroots kooks will be thrilled! Hooray!

    Twits.

  19. Nimrod Gently says:

    Jay, you’re the biggest crybaby on Earth.

  20. midderpidge says:

    It would be hard to have a real debate on a fake news channel. Simple.

  21. Nimrod Gently says:

    And for those of you who refuse to admit that the air contains oxygen, this is what we’re talking about:

    http://noquarter.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/03/fox_news_crazy_.html

    “Hating America: The New World Sport”. Right, it’s the Liberals who are crybabies.

    Oh, and don’t even think about wasting time with the Twin Towers picture mistake like one error invalidates the whole page. Oh, yes, I have your number.

  22. Duros62 says:

    Next time you hear the old “Michael Moore is fat”, counter with;
    Roger Ailes is so fat he has his own gravitational field.

    He’s so fat he can’t go to the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum because all the satellites on display will orbit around him.
