Las Vegas Review Publishes Editorial Condemning Nevada Democrats for Backing Out of Debate
FOX News ^ | 03/10/2007 | EagleUSA

Posted on 03/10/2007 5:02:40 PM PST by EagleUSA

The Nevada Democratic party's recent decision to cancel a FOX News sponsored debate between presidential candidates was a move triggered by the left's "lunatic fringe," according to an editorial published Saturday by the Las Vegas Review Journal.

The party had originally agreed to allow FOX News Channel to co-sponsor the debate between Democratic presidential candidates in Reno in August, but backed out of the deal Friday afternoon, citing comments made by FOX News president Roger Ailes as the reason for the decision.

The Journal's editorial, however, blames the "socialist, Web-addicted wing of the Democratic Party" for sabotaging the debate, saying they were "apopleptic" over the thought of having to watch FOX News Channel in order to see their candidates.

The editorial goes on to argue that if the Republican party decided to pick and choose coverage based on political leanings as the Democrats are doing, they would have rejected PBS, CBS, NBC, ABC, National Public Radio and The Associated Press decades ago.

If the Democrats can't handle a joke, how can they handle Al Qaeda?

Fine. Let them shake up the status quo and marginalize themselves. The left plays today's dynamics like a violin, so I'd love to see them abandon their comfortable and safe position in American politics. It would give the Right a fresh start as well.

"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."

I don't have a whole hell of a lot of sympathy for the Review Journal as they whine about the nutroots and their tactics. This paper is a typical DBM outlet and, being in Nevada, is predictably nothing more than a mouthpiece for Harry Reid. Reid, the rest of the democrats and the media are the ones who puffed these loons up, courted them, took their money and gave them a seat at the table.

And now when they act like loons, the Review Journal is embarrassed by them? You're the ones who invited them to the banquet - now live with them while they belch, fart, scratch their crotches and put their feet on the table while you're trying to eat.

Simple. They do not care about Al Qaeda. Billy proved that. All they care about is POWER and CONTROL. They would give the country away to Bin Laden, if they could, in EXCHANGE FOR POWER.

Heh. This is the same Las Vegas paper that's been on Harry Reid's financial chicanery and east coast liberalism like white on rice.

Maybe there is a lesson in that. You don't even have to compromise principle to do it. Just repeatedly and forcefully keep repeating the truth and forcing their hand. Show them for what they are.

It is as sad as it is alarming that one of our political parties is basically the submissive in its relationship with the socialist/communist segment of our society, but that is what has happened. The Kossacks said after the 04 election that they had bought the dem party and they owned it. I thought there would be some resistence to that but I was wrong.

Probably Fox news wouldnt agree to give Hillary the Questions in advance, and the Breck Girl didnt want us to see his left side profile, and Hussein Obama couldnt get to use his southern acecent he learned in Muslim Indonesia.

I think the dems know how weak their batch of candidates are and are scared to death of what the debates are going to look like.

You think they'd want the debate on Fox to break the "propaganda" featured on that channel.
