howard dean on o'reilly?

[shanti]

help me out here, please...a freeper on another board states that dean has avoided any interviews with o'reilly, refuses them, actually. is this true?

[Cha]

1. I would hope Dean had brains to refuse an interview with that

"shutup artist"!

[Walt Starr]

2. I think all Democratic candidates should avoid O'Reilly

Boycott the bastard.

Not a single one should go on the All Spin Zone. In fact, if one does go on, they've lost my vote right then and there.

13. Second That

Well the first part anyway.

3. All democrats should boycott Fox News

until they admit they are a right wing pro-republican news outlet.

We shouldn't give them any "fair and balanced" window dressing.

[ObaMania]

4. Sure they should...

.. but how do you figure FAUX gets to have the first Democratic debate? Isn't it next Tuesday?

I just can't imagine how their "fair and balanced" crew are gonna hack each candidate up after the debate.

To me, this is the stupidest move the DEMs have ever made.

[GemMom]

Oh I don't know....

Maybe the debate on FOX will get the attention of many in the great middle who might otherwise not be inclined to pay much attention to politics in the first place. In any event, it'll be worth watching.

6. Get it out of the way

And never go back. Nobody will have to worry about it again.

[ObaMania]

8. I wonder who'll be moderating...

.. and if they'll insert their smirks, eye-rolling, and smart-assed comments during the debate.

It would be a major burn on the candidates to have someone like O'Reilly or Hannity moderate it. THAT would be sending a message that they view the DEM debates as a joke.

I bet though, it will be someone like Greta or Britt Hume.

14. Correction

According to their ads, Faux News is hosting a "Democrat Debate."

[sandnsea]

5. O'Who????

Good. No Democrat should ever go on Foxnews ever again.

[Sagan]

7. Dems should say this:

"Why would I appear on FOX News? You don't see me going on Rush Limbaugh's show, do you?"

Make sure they equate FOX with biased conservative coverage. It's only the truth!

[shanti]

9. thanks for your replies, all!

they WERE helpful:-)

[RobertFrancisK]

10. I say go on

The Dems need to prove they aren't afraid to make their views known, and whoever shows up will take away O'Reilly's ammo in attacking them, meaning he always says "they don't have the guts to come on" therefore garnering some respect for the libertarian types that watch Fox and maybe win them over.

[Rooktoven]

11. He should insist on a face to face---

where O'Reilly can't cut his mike. (In fact, that should be the pre-condition to ANYONE doing O'Reilly's show.)

[JNelson6563]

12. What about Al Franken?

How come Fox never has him on? Just kidding....on the square. ;-)
