Can't Play This Game Anymore

Maybe in 2003, when Democrats weren't organized and didn't have as coherent a vision of the Party, and were willing to kid themselves into believing that if they were just a little MORE milquetoast, a little MORE moderate, maybe they could win over the average Rush listener, maybe then you could get away with a debate on Fox.

Not. This. Time. And even the more moderate Democrats in the race are secure enough to know that this won't hurt them in any way, shape or form, and in fact it will help disabuse America of the notion that the Fox News Channel is a legitimate broadcasting outlet and not a wing of the Republican National Committee. It's been a long time coming to have this argument in public, instead of just assuming that the whole country is as perceptive as people in Washington. If it says "News" on it, to a great many people it is, and it's high time that there's at least a little pushback, not against individuals but against the entire concept of Fox News as a whole.
