Nevada Dems getting outfoxed?

Thanks to an alert e-mailer for forwarding this item, in which we learn that Fox News will use the Nevada Democratic Democrat presidential debate in August to subvert the messages of the candidates and otherwise torpedo the whole point of our caucus thingy right there on national teevee.

For an example of how disrespectful and counterproductive such Fox News-sponsored Democratic debates are, consider the September 9, 2003 Democratic debate in Baltimore, Maryland, hosted by Fox News in partnership with the Congressional Black Caucus.  Fox News graphics, as well as a banner over the stage, titled the event as the "Democrat Candidate Presidential Debate," a misconstruction of "Democrat" used as an epithet.  Fox News then summarized the debate with a story titled, "Democratic Candidates Offer Grim View of America," continuing with such jabs as, "The depiction of the president as the root of all evil began at the top of Tuesday night's debate...."

You know, if that Kerry guy would have kept up with this bidness about Bush being an evildoer, maybe he'd be president today and the Republicans could blame him for things going to hell in a handbasket in Iraq.

Anyway, if somebody knows somebody in either the Nevada Democrat Party or the Nevada Democratic Party, tell them that there's a petition out there asking them to bag Fox, and so they might want to explain how they're going to keep Brit Hume from making fun of us.

et tu, Tony Blair?

The Brits just announced a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq. Perhaps they have enough terrorists at home to look after than going down south to find them. We really don't know if there have been terrorists here because, of course, the feds are cooking the books on how many terror arrests there have actually been.

Couldn't possibly have anything to do with Prince Harry and his bodyguards showing up for duty there now could it? I swear that I didn't make that up. Can you believe a soldier is actually taking his bodyguards with him to a war zone?

And we think Califonia is wierd......

In a warzone all soldiers are "body guards" for all other soldiers - and highly skilled soldiers and leaders recieve additional attention (medics, platoon sergeants, company commanders, etc) - of course, Prince Henry will be well protected - he's a HVT (High Value Target).

Again, you're talking out of your butt! Why don't you stick to subjects you know someting about?

[texex]

Per CNN and other news sources Prince Henry took his PERSONAL bodyguards with him that are assigned all the time!~!

Johnnie - can't the VA or somebody give some help with your mental problems before you hurt yourself or somebody else?~? You are REALLY degrading before our very eyes!~!

There are many of us on within NVDEMS who want FOXjazeera out of our Caucus debates in Nevada.

This was a poor decision, let's change it now and move on.

From the Huffington Post from the London Standard February 18, 2007, 4)4pm, and I quote:

On the issue of bodyguards, one royal source said it was a 'distinct possibility' that police representatives would accompany him to 'oversee' his security, but acknowledged practical problems.

The officers are not trained to operate in a war zone, there would be no space for them in the Scimitar armoured vehicles used by Harry's unit, and their expertise would offer little protection against roadside bombs.

An alternative is to assign a team of Royal Military Police bodyguards, who specialise in guarding senior commanders and VIPs on operations.

Johnnie - it's your butt doing all the talking. You've become so pitiful lately that it's no fun anymore to take you on. You've really lost it. But the world's a better place now.

IN ORDER TO CHANGE ANYTHING ON THE FOX CAUCUS THINGY, ONE HAS TO KONSULT WITH THE KAUCUS KINGS. DOUBT ANY CHANGE IS IN THE WIND, BUT THINK OF IT AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BOYCOTT FOX NATIONALLY. WHEN YOU HAVE LEMONS, YOU MAKE LEMONADE OR COOLAIDE. YOUR CHOICE.

When I heard it, I thought "what the hell is that all about?"

Anybody see the movie Grumpy Old Men?

Yeah - they're the ones that got Ann Margaret!~! heh heh heh

Annywaaay, the super-dooper spin on The-British-Are-Going!-The-British-Are-Going! from the White House is that things are going sooo good in Iraq that the Brits are no longer needed. That is really, really great spin you just gotta admit!~!

[texex]

Hey Kid! You got your own recall meter over on scandalmonger! Johnnie's gonna be jealous you have a new playmate.

[Johnathan L. Abbinett]

I'm NOT taking your childish baiting "Tex" so, ramble on all like the disrespectful fool that you are...

...go ahead and make fun of disabled vets...

...I know who you are and I got the full back story on you...

and the word on you is - "pathetic!"

[texex]

Funny...J.A.O wasn't that complimentary about you. "Avoid him like the plague" was the advice I was given. Seems to be the consensus across Nevada, huh? I get around, too, you know.

[Johnathan L. Abbinett]

"Texex" you know very little about me, and then, only what I've publicly disclosed - so, get off it will ya?

And what little I've been able to corroberate about you isn't even interesting - so, grow up!

I'm done responding to your sick cheap shots!

Boys, why don't you create a separate blog to taunt each other -- call it "Nevada Cage Match." But its embarassing to watch this in what is otherwise a remarkably mature discussion board.

[texex]

Agreed.

[Johnathan L. Abbinett]

Check out the fire flaming over on KOS about the NSDP "partnering" with the "Faux" News Channel - WOW are a lot of people angry!

That's pretty damned funny. So, how does it go? "One if by land, two if by sea, three if by helicopter from the embassy roof."
