HAR HAR-- AAR offers to host GOP presidential debates!
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0307/Air_Americas_Invitation.html

Good one! :rofl:

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.

8. If rejected AAR needs to follow this up with statements to other news media to avoid Republicans...
Because they do not want an honest debate and are too hard to work with.

11. Would it be televised?
Oh this is brilliant! I would love to see the looks on the GOP faces when they get one-upped like this. Maybe Al Gore's Current network should host a GOP debate too!

15. If the media really was liberal, this would be a lose-lose sitch for Repukes ...
They accept, it legitimizes AAR ... they pass, the "liberal media" proclaims them hypocrites for doing what the Dems did with the Faux debates ...

However, most people with an IQ of at least a single digit know that this will not get any play in "the liberal media" ... probably because the "liberal media" doesn't want to acknowledge AAR ...
