I have some suggestions on which sites would be better for you to read and spend your time. They are much larger and have a much bigger influence on voters than we do and maybe you’ll feel more at home by their friendlier to you comments.
The first is Daily Kos.
The second is Democratic Underground.
For your reading pleasure I would also suggest you read the front pages and editorial pages of the New York Times, LA Times, Washington Post and other large newspapers, all available online.
Since I don’t normally frequent these blogs you’ll have to forgive me for not giving you a more complete list of places to go. I do think you have to register on those blogs, and don’t dare dissent or you will be blocked and your comment yanked.
If you are looking for us to run Obama’s campaign ads you won’t see it. Since he has at least $3 million to spend on half-hour blocks of time on networks already in the tank for him six days before the election you’ll have plenty of opportunity to see him.
Here’s an example of what wing nuts on either side can accomplish.
Liberal activists who claim Fox News Channel is not a legitimate news source said that cooperation by several groups was key in preventing the network from hosting debates by Democratic presidential candidates.
Robert Greenwald, a producer/director who hosted a panel discussion Tuesday at the liberal Take Back America conference in Washington, D.C., called collaboration “the C word” — the element without which their “victory” would have been “totally, completely impossible.”
Greenwald’s earlier film “Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism” accused Fox News Channel of a right-wing bias. He began Tuesday’s discussion by showing a video posted at his FoxAttacks.com website.
The video begins with Christiane Brown, a radio host on KJFK — a local affiliate in the liberal Air America network — recalling the morning of Feb. 16, 2007: “I opened up my email, and I saw that the Nevada state Democratic Party was partnering with Fox News [in planning a debate], and … I could not believe it.”
Greenwald is then shown saying: “People immediately got upset about it, but the question was: Can we do anything about this? … Can we convince them that this is a mistake of serious proportion?”
The video shows Adam Green, civic communications director for the liberal group MoveOn.org, saying that his organization learned of the proposed debate from online bloggers. “We immediately issued a call to action” and started a petition drive for Nevadans to tell the state party not to allow FNC to host the debate.
On his website, Greenwald then posted video clips of what he calls “erroneous and slanted stories Fox ran” about Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), a candidate for his party’s 2008 presidential nomination.
“We decided to bring these campaigns together,” Green says on the video. MoveOn.org joined local and national bloggers in distributing Greenwald’s videos - an example of what Green called “mutually reinforcing activism.”
And then the candidates began to withdraw from the Fox sponsored debates.
This makes me wonder what these people would do as president if they’re so afraid of Fox News as candidates?
