Spoiled Democrats and Debates

Lets examine it, shall we? As we keep hearing from you P4B, Fox should be considered a respectable, "fair and balanced" news source instead of the partisan right wing noise machine that it is. So sit back, light up a fattie, and follow me below the flip.

-Flip-:stoned:

Here we have a candadate for the highest office in the land tacitly approving the torture of suspects who "theoretically" posses information of vital import. This is strong stance on a slippery slope, especially for someone who has had no personal experience with these chilling practices.

Quote:

Draft deferments kept Giuliani, 62, of out Vietnam while he attended law school. In 1968, as the Vietnam War was escalating, he was classified 1-A, or draft eligible. After going to work for a federal judge, he received an occupational deferment. He was classified 1-A again in 1970, but had a high lottery number.

Here we have it, another chickenhawk following in the mold of our commander and chief. Never mind the cost others will pay for this tough talking candadate to pose and posture in front of the cameras. According to Giuliani, this country will do whatever it takes to stop "Terrorists" even if it means throwing the constitution out the window.

How does the crowd respond to further attacks on our already weakened constitution? Is it as you said P4B, where

Psycho4Bud: The audience is told both on MSNBC and on FOX not to applaud, etc. in order to get in more questions with the time alotted.

Listen for youself, and you be the judge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPd9yjvF7Mw Call me crazy, but I'd say no.

Perhaps the opinion of someone who has seen first hand the personal atrocities man can inflict his fellow man should have a say in this. Surely the crowd would respect the views of someone like John McCain, considering his service to the United States.

Quote:

Among the leading Republican candidates, only McCain, 70, has a military record. The Arizona senator spent more than 20 years in the Navy, almost a quarter of it in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp.

How does the peanut gallery respond to his condemnation of torture as approved policy? He is greeted with stony silence. After all, god forbid someone with credentials offer their informed opinion to the FOX crowd.

Which brings us to the conclusion, the thread point that ties this into the thread. This is why the Democrats made the right choice in refusing to debate on FOX. It is neither Fair, nor Balanced. And it certainly is not a respected news source. It panders to its base. Fox is nothing more than a propaganda arm pandering to the neocons and their ultra ritght wing psuedo religous base.

But there's someone who illustrates this better than I. Someone I'm sure we all identify with and listen to. And that "person" is Lois Griffin. Lets simplify how these republican speeches go (bonus points for identifying the actual clip from a real live speech) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1epPU0ypFc8
