Strange bedfellows...

FNC & CBC Partner For Two Debates
First on TVNewser: "FOX News and the Congressional Black Caucus Political Education and Leadership Institute (CBC Institute) have jointly announced that they will present two 2008 primary debates, which are expected to attract the top Democratic and Republican contenders for President of the United States. The debates will be presented live on FOX News Channel (FNC) and FOX News Radio.

The first of the two debates will be among Democratic candidates and will be held on September 23rd at the Fox Theater in Detroit. The second debate will be among Republican candidates and will take place in the fall of 2007 at a location to be determined. Both debates will serve as a forum for the candidates to make their platforms known.

The CBC Institute previously partnered with FNC for two democratic presidential debates leading up to the 2004 election, in which all candidates participated. Both debates were among FNC's highest rated political telecasts of the You Decide 2004 election season."

1. When will the Dem's learn to give Faux Noise the cold shoulder

not one word should go to that right wing mouthpiece.

4. I have to agree with you there.

Foxx is putting on their "I love black people" mask. :eyes:

I can find no intelligent rationale for the Black Caucus to take their bait....No Democrat should. :mad:

2. Any democratic candidate that show up is crazy.

Since obama will --- wonder if he will debate himself.

3. No GOP showed up for a recent debate hosted by a Union.

Nobody thought anything strange about that. Why do people think it is strange that Democrats won't show up for a debate hosted by FNC?

I believe the presidential candidates, beginning with Obama, should inform the CBC that they will not be attending this debate.
