And yes, TRex, the use of air quotes will be devastating. Fox will never recover.

This is why I typically scroll right past anything written by TRex. Anyone who watches Fox is already a lost cause. So, the strategy is to have democrats go on and act tough. You don’t think roger ailes would have a counter punch for that? Wake up.

A better idea would be for dems just to avoid Fox, where they know they’re going to get the shiv in the groin.

BTW, I don’t think Boxer exactly brought Fox to its knees with her little performance. And, if I hosted a cable program, I’d ask her how she felt about supporting Torture Joe.

I think, rather than crowing about 15 seconds of cable TV kabuki, we might all want to focus our energies on remaking the democratic party. It’s clear that with vichy-esque leaders and leading lights such as Harry Reid and Barack Obama (shorter Barack re: Canadian rendered to syria: shit happens), we’re all forehead deep in the swamp.

With senate candidates like harold ford and sherrod brown, bob menendez and debbie stabenow (do we really need a senator named debbie?), all saying HELL YES to torture and the gutting of HC, our party has clearly left us.

With Jay Rockefeller and Frank Lautenberg fluffing Bush by retroactively saying torture wasn’t legal before, but you can’t prosecute for it, our party elders have shown they’ve lost their way.

An ongoing attack against Faux News can be mounted by continually contacting all and any advertisers that pay to advertise on fox and to not buy or use any of the advertisers products.

FDL can start this campaign by listing the major advertisers on here (and other progressive websites) and asking people to stop using the advertisers products/services and to contact the business to tell them why you are not going to use their products/services.

Contact them and tell them that you will not buy or use any of their products while ever they advertise on Fox.

Hit them where it hurts, in their wallets!

THAT was a ‘hard pushback’

Puh-lease.

People should just not go on Fox news Period.

When asked why:

“It is not a legitimate news organization”

Thats all there is to it.

By going on to Fox, Dems legitimize it.

Prairie Sunshine @ 334

Bush bullying in the Senate this morning, just live on MSNBC. If this legislation is so important, it’s important enough to get it right. The Senate can delay its adjournment.
The Senate can act in lame duck session. The Senate can read what they’re voting on. What else was ~~sneaked in~~ changed overnight?

Sorry, confused about this. Is Bush (as I would expect) pushing to conclude quickly, and you’re saying it shouldn’t be pushed hard and quickly, or is Bush saying to go slow? The latter would be uncharacteristic.

Cheers.

Perhaps the line of the day. Listening to NPR, on which a security type in the Clinton administration by the name of Daniel Benjamin said, re: Iraq: “… a friend of mine puts it this way–when you drive the car over the cliff, your options narrow.”

Understatement of the decade.
