Well the good news is that the Dems have dropped Faux noise's's's "debate" in Nevada. FN is blaming Moveon. I'm going to send them a donation.

Nevada Democrats Cancel Debate on Fox

The last time faux hosted a debate they did negative commentary during the debate and cut away before the end to start their negative spin..

With a history of being dishonest and unbalanced, in every sense of the word, faux should never even have been considered for this. e.g

Last month, Fox reported -- and later backed off its report -- that Obama attended a radical Muslim school in Indonesia as a child. It was widely debunked by other media outlets, including CNN.
In a Feb. 5 appearance on the Fox News program, "Hannity and Colmes," Fox News commentator Dick Morris said Clinton and former President Bill Clinton were behind the smear. But when pressed by co-host Alan Colmes for what evidence he had, Morris said, "No, I just -- obviously they were." And some of the network's hosts have mocked Obama's middle name, "Hussein."

Why would democrats want to ban a network that is conservative if it gave them a chance to talk to conservative viewers?

[Mohammed] Hayawi had worked at the bookstore all his life. His father, Abdel-Rahman, opened it in 1954, and after he died in 1993 his five sons inherited the business, keeping a portrait of the patriarch, in a Russian-style winter hat, hanging on the wood-paneled wall.....

.....His family was Sunni Muslim, but Hayawi played down its importance to his sense of self, and he lived with his wife and young son, Ahmed Akram, in a predominantly Shiite neighborhood. He took pride in his independence, in being someone who celebrated the gray areas, a reflection of the best of what the intellectual entrepot of Mutanabi Street was supposed to represent...

....In its heyday, this street embodied a generation-old saying: Cairo writes, Beirut publishes, Baghdad reads. But under the U.N. sanctions that followed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, isolating it from the world, its stores were lined with magazines 20 years old, obsolete textbooks and dust-covered religious tomes that seemed more for show than for sale......

Perry gets thousands of e-mail messages on HPV

HPV order override bill set for debate Tuesday

Morals bog down action

["Christian advocacy group in Colorado Springs, says that instead, a woman should simply avoid the virus by not having sex before marriage. Even some who think that abstinence is unrealistic still imagine that this kind of disease does not happen to a girl who's had only a boyfriend or two.

It's a misconception that can cost a young woman her health, her fertility and maybe even her life."

"A person can catch any sexually transmitted infection from just one partner, but the odds of encountering HPV are especially high because so many people are infected."

"....researchers say that plenty of women with no partners outside marriage are infected by their own husbands. The Food and Drug Administration and medical groups have recommended Merck's vaccine, Gardasil, for nearly all girls and women from ages 11 to 26, before they become sexually active. "]

HPV vaccine may be offered free in year or two, health unit say

["There was about five years between the time that it was widely used in Canada to the time that it was funded by the ministry," she said. The province will likely buy the HPV vaccine in concert with other provinces in order to get a bulk deal from the manufacturers.

"To me, it makes perfect sense to immunize every girl before she becomes sexually active," Futcher said.  

"It's less expensive to treat someone with a $450 immunization than it is to treat someone with cervical cancer. It makes perfect health sense. It costs money now, but saves money 20 years from now.

"If it's able to prevent cancer in even 70 per cent of the cases then this is a really wonderful thing to have."]

Meanwhile, the NEA vice-pres for governmental affairs is trying to make stopping global warming an issue of concern,

and,

Several other evangelical leaders have written and signed a letter saying that he is dividing and demoralizing the evangelical movement by such Al-Gore friendly and left-leaning global-warming-is-being-caused-by-humans views.  They are asking that he be fired or silenced by his employer, the NEA.

Of course, the original idea of the "child pornography" laws was to protect minors, and this case is one of an uncounted number in which minors have been made "criminals," threatened by law enforcement--and in some cases convicted--for possession or "distribution" of a nude photo of a friend.

One case in point occurred a few years ago in Washington state.  Two 16-year-olds were boyfriend and girlfriend and at times had sex, as is legal in Washington state.  The guy thought he'd take a few nude photos of the gf and he did,
for which he was charged with both sexual exploitation of a minor (the girlfriend) and possession of cp (the nudes).  The jury acquitted him of "sexual exploitation," but convicted him of possessing cp.  Tried as an adult, he is now one of the many sex-offenders-for-life.

Peace of Mind

Now, if you're feeling kinda low
'Bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow
You just keep on staying
Can't decide on which way to go

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People living in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind

Now you're climbing to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take to long
Can't you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone

Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on giving
Doesn't mean too much to me
Lots of people have to make-believe they're living
Can't decide who they should be

Take a look ahead
Take a look ahead
Look ahead

Notwithstanding the innumerable war crimes committed by the neo-conservative thugs, their little enterprise would have come to nothing without the full complicity, not to mention head start, of their "friends across the isle", the other half of the American War Party.
...
We are a culture on the war path, though culture is a term to be used loosely.

Long despised around the globe for our lack of culture, it is perhaps unremarkable that we facilitated the looting of some of the most ancient cultural treasures in human civilization in Iraq, or aided and abetted the disintegration by air war of another ancient Mediterranean culture in Lebanon.Through it all, liberals will mutter about how Arabs treat their women, prevented, perhaps, by their "discomfort" from stopping the impending holocaust against Iran. Dithering seems to be a favourite distraction for the US middle class (don't say bourgeoisie or you're a communist), who hold the wealth and power necessary to force change in US policy.

The Arabs about whom we are talking are actually Persian, but such distinctions mean little when they are about other people. How many Muslim women have been murdered by US and Israeli bombs and bullets? How many women and their children starved and kept in murderous poverty by US-backed policies at the World Bank and the IMF? No matter: Americans are as blind to these numbers as we are to the dearth and death of culture all around us. Our national gluttony is ruinous to our own lives, to our natural resources and even to the planet itself. We condone and try to thrive in a culture that has raised blaming the victim to a sophisticated social science, from those who managed to escape our founding genocide to the vestiges of our imported slave population. US treatment of immigrants, of workers, of minorities, of children, is by regular measure among the worst in the "civilized" world we like to crow about representing.

And when the uranium dust from bombs over Iran wafts across south Asia, will liberals bemoan the preventable deaths of Muslim women, Hindu women, and their children, whose air, water and bodies will be poisoned for a century? This war is already started: any idiot can see it in the press frenzy now being forced down American throats. But we are experts in looking for blame elsewhere. Congressional "leaders' pontificate about Iraq, four years behind the curve: the war on Iran started when staged footage of Saddam's falling statue capped the war porn coverage of Iraq's "liberation" by an embedded press.
...
The world watches the plight of the Palestinian people, being slowly wiped off the map; watches us destroy Iraq; and now, destroy Iran? Look in Pogo's mirror and say which culture makes you "uncomfortable".

Why would democrats want to ban a network that is conservative if it gave them a chance to talk to conservative viewers?

Sure Fox is the anti CNN or MSNBC but they would play the debate straight.  

Are democrats so insecure that they can't handle a couple tough questions from Brit Hume?

It's really just pitiful.

Democrats complain that Bush is too wimpy to face the White House Press Corps but ask some presidential canidates to face a single moderator and they run for the hills.

Will somebody tell me how the Left/Demos can stand up to Americas enemies if they can't stand up to that really tough and evil Fox News and its leaders, Hume, Ailes and O'Reilly.

That's the main message that you will see coming back at you.

The second one will how this demonstrates that the Demos/Left is against freedom of speech.

This is proof again that politicans should never listen to the blogosphere. And that's both sides I'm talking about.

The Rev John Hagee, in between financing expeditions to find the real Noahs Ark and teaching that dinasaur bones were planted by Satan, is head of CUFI, Christians United For Israel (warning: pointing this out is another surefire sign of Judophobia) and interprets the Bible, as only a true prophet can, to be Gods dictating to the Russians (once a commie, always a commie) and Arab armies that they invade Israel and be rewarded for their obedience by being dystroyed. There will then be a confrontation between China and the west led by the anti-christ head of the Yoo-ro-peen Union etc etc

Some of Hagees fellow board member at the CUFI are "Ole Jerry" and Gary Bauer and last year CUFI representatives met with Whitehouse officials, urging them to "adopt a more confrontational posture toward Iran, refuse aid to the Palestinians and give Israel a freehand to ramp up a military confrontation with Hezbollah." Or God will get quite irate.

In other news, Chickenhawk Little says the sky is falling and wants other people to take care of it.

O'Reilly said that MoveOn, "the Daily Kos or whatever that stupid thing is," and others "use propaganda techniques perfected by Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister of information. They lie, distort, defame, all the time." Progressive activists attack Fox News because "we report on them accurately," O'Reilly said.
