    This is really getting old!

    Fox is no more evil than any other media outlet. They’re all commercial operations that use contrived content as a vehicle for delivering paid advertising.

    Of course, Edwards has also sued axle grease for copyright infringement. So too with Snake Oil, phony two dollar bills and all reptiles.

    these people cannot face their own country men. they cannot face their own media. Yet they are trying to tell the country…nay, the WORLD that they can take on terrorists, enemies, people that will kill other people, cut off their heads and dance in the blood, strap bombs on themselves, their children…even their own babies, blow up discos, buses, banks, cafe`s, day care centers, and are planning on annihilating entire countries the size shape and population of Israel…yes…even ISAREL ITSELF as well as THE UNITED STATES with chemical weapons, biological weapons and as soon as these terrorists can get their dirt encrusted, greasy, mis-shapen blood-caked hands on them, nuclear weapons.

    Yeah, where do I sign up so that I can vote Democrat and elect these COWARDS into office.

    If they are too scared, too CHICKEN S**T to go on FOX News to answer whatever questions that they pose to them, then what chance does any country, any person, especially ours and our own, have against Islamic Terrorists when they are in office?

    Come on Liberal trolls from Trollville. Answer the question. Why can we trust them and how can we trust them to protect us when they wet their pants at the mere thought of going up against a question from FOX News…yet are soooo brave as to call names and throw sticks and stones at the network from far away?

    You guys are pathetic

    Fox News is truly balanced. You have both liberal and conservative news analysts there. Liberals hate it because conservative question and analysis is actually allowed to be broadcast and not completely banned.

    It is another example of their derangement. They have CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, MSNBC, nearly every newspaper in every city–all shamelessly liberal– and they pout because ONE news channel actually has a couple of conservative journalists.

    What a useless twit.

    Ladies and gentleman we really are seeing the destruction of this great country from within. For a so-called candidate for POTUS call Fox News “evil” is beyond idiotic. It’s a friggin cable TV station. Just because it’s not 90% in the tank and under control of the Democrat party can’t make it evil. This is exactly the subtle but clear underlying mindset that liberals have. They are truly deranged human beings and becoming more unhinged by the day. And even worse, they control Congress and possibly the White House which means they will control our lives.

    He tries to appeal to the uneducated and uninformed. If he appears on FOX he’ll look like the dumb arse he really is ….and the cameras would melt his hair.

    Believe me, he won’t get anything. He is despised in NC.

    I have to concur with several folks from previous posts – If John Edwards or any other Democrat cannot face down a Fox News debate panel, how in the heck can they ever face the dictators of the world and other who wish to do us great harm?

    Oh, wait! “There are two Americas!

    I shudder to imagine him as POTUS. Fortunately, I don’t think we have to worry about that.

    What brain?

    Edwards is simply a poor excuse for a human being, IMO. I have nothing but contempt for him.

    As many have already said well on this thread, if you are too cowardly to answer the tough questions on FOX News, you don’t deserve to be President. It’s as simple as that. Republicans debate anywhere for anyone; Democrats only debate where they will get soft questions and special treatment. No guts. Seriously, how can these cowards lead our nation in the war on terror? Oh…that’s right, the left doesn’t believe there is a war with terrorists. It’s all our fault.

    You know, the left talks about how Fox News is in the bag for Republicans a lot. But, I watched Brit, Wendal and the gang on the SC debate panel put some real pointed questions to the Republican candidates. They didn’t pull punches, that I could see. There questions were as tough and pointed, if not more so, than debates hosted on other networks for the Republicans.

    Now, the Democrat debates I saw on other networks, replete with talking snowmen, etc., was pretty danged soft. Just look at the one they had the other night. It looked like a lovefest or something. *blech*

    John Edwards’ hypocricy is amazing. He says he is the candidate of the mill workers yet at the same time pocketing about half a million dollars from the Fortress Group for six months of parttime “work”. Two Sundays ago, the NY Times business section had an article about the Fortress Group and similar companies. The Fortress Group was one of those companies that engaged in putting together bonds based on mortgages (CBIs). Companies like the Fortress Group made their money up front, and gobs of it, but the small investors get killed when the loans go into default. So much for John Edwards as champion of the working class. And then let’s not forget that the Fortress Group or its subsidaries were foreclosing on the homes of poor people in New Orleans who got wiped out by Hurricane Katrina. And yet this very same John Edwards has the audacity to go on the debate in Las Vegas and say he has been fighting corporate interests for 54 years. If Mr. Edwards is now 54, was he fighting big business when he was in the crib? When he was in nursery school? Oh well, in two weeks Mr. Edwards will be back passing out his business card in Siler City.

    Exactly!!!!! Almost word for word what I have been saying for years. I would add a couple additional points. The left also has control of most the education system. There is talk radio, dominated by the right. Naturally liberals are hell bent on silencing talk radio along with Fox News. Then they can once again have total control over the dissemination of information and the indoctrination of young minds.

    They will also have to deal with the internet, the newest information source. This one will not be easy since it is a global instrument. We’ve seen the attacks on blogs for nailing liberals….Dan Rather for example…but I doubt they will be able to control the internet.

    Once again, but with the same determination, this matra from me:

    CALL TO ARMS CHALLENGING THE DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO ACCEPT FOX NEWS DEBATES.

    I have no idea why most conservatives, including the Republican candidates, are giving the Democrat candidates a free pass on what is becoming the most outlandish display of cowardice ever seen in America politics. Sure, we socio-politico wonks know of it, but the rest of America really is not aware of this outrage, and this kind of display of arrogant cowardice really needs to be communicated to the general public, so they know the character of the participants wanting to be President.

    Communicated LOUDLY. So people get it.

    The same guy in the narcissistic photo ops shoveling whatever it was while in New Orleans showing how much he cares about the hurricane Katrina victims?

    The same guy with the $400 haircuts and the mega house telling the lower and middle classe he feels their pain.

    My fellow Michelle Malkin.com commentators, dear Internet Right-Wing, Conservative, Republican and other proper thinking friends of mine, you have just witnessed once again, my calling out the Liberals here to defend their stance. to once again, defend their beliefs, to back up what they do, what they say, to “put their money where their mouth is” so to speak.

    Often times in my comments here, I will ask them to back up their rhettoric, and what happens, they run for cover. They *poof* vanish, disappear…it as if a great chasm opened up on the thread and they get swallowed up into it, only to reappear into another thread, smearing it like feces with more drivel of another type.

    This time, it was concerning Silky boy’s inability to handle his own countrymen’s questions on FOX News. you know, we have been dealing with it for over a year. NONE of the Dems can deal with FOX. The wet their pants at the mere thought of actually having to answer real questions put forth to them by real analysts and real Right-Wing commentators instead of having watermelons pitched to them by their own supporters at the big “love Fests” that are being passed off as Democratic Debates right now. If you can’t handle the press, how can you handle the enemy?

    yet the Libs have no answer… they run scared, jut like their candidates.

    So I put it to you, my fellow commentors…if you have your own blog, challenge all Liberals. Put the word out. And if you do not, talk to everyone you know…at work, at play, in the gym, at the park, sewing circle, coffee clatch WHATEVER…get people talking, spreading the word make them know that IF THEY CANNOT TALK TO US, TO THE PRESS

    People on the Fox News channel are the most decent, open, honest, intelligent folks to be found anywhere in the media. These are the qualities that make Democrats tremble with fear. It’s the reason they despise Pres. Bush so fanatically. If such traits come to be expected by the American public, no Democrat anywhere will ever be elected to anything. No Democrat other than Zell Miller has those qualities. Brit and John and Chris and Bill will not lob underhand softballs for Dems to hit out of the park. Being afraid, yes Dems are afraid, to face Fox News means being afraid to face decency and honesty. I ask again: How can anyone with a shred of integrity vote for any Democrat?
