Air America offers to host GOP debate

[meegbear]

Tweaking the Fox News Channel, the president of liberal Air America Radio this morning sent a letter to the chairmen of four state Republican parties, offering to host and broadcast the state parties' upcoming presidential debates.

Agreeing to the debate “would allow Republicans to differentiate themselves from Democrats,” Air America President Mark Green wrote to the Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, and South Carolina Republican chairmen in a deadpan communication provided this morning to The Politico.

The Nevada State Democratic Party dropped plans for Fox to broadcast an August debate after furious pressure from online activists, a move that drew attacks from Fox and the label of “Stalinist” from one Fox News commentator, Mort Kondracke.

“Should you accept Air America’s offer, Republicans would both embrace free debate and stick it to Stalin at the same time,” Green wrote.

Moderator Randi Rhodes admonishing candidate John McCain for going over his alloted time.

I would LOVE to see the questions in that debate.

"Given that your continued support of * makes you complicitly guilty of his crimes, Would you support his immediate impeachment because of <insert humongous list of * cabal crimes>, and if not, Why not, and why should we then trust you?"
