Obama Ditches CBC/Fox Debate

Barack Obama has chosen not to attend September's Democratic presidential primary debate co-sponsored by the Congressional Black Caucus Ins ute and Fox News, an aide said, effectively dooming the event.

Obama is the only member of the Congressional Black Caucus running for President, and his decision allows other candidates to skip the debate without facing criticism that they are turning their backs on a leading black ins ution.

Friday, John Edwards was the first candidate to announce he'd skip the debate. The CBC Ins ute is hosting one other debate, with CNN in January, in which all candidates are expected to participate.

"CNN seemed like a more appropriate venue," the aide said, adding that Obama himself had not called CBC leadership or Fox executives to deliver the news. "It was handled at a staff level."

The aide said that Obama will participate in the six officially-sanctioned Democratic National Committee debates, whose existence provided candidates a measure of cover to drop out of the Fox-sponsored debate.

A Fox News spokesman didn't immediately return a call and email seeking a reaction.

Demo leaders in both houses of the legislature have also called for a ban on the appearance of Demo leaders on FAUX news shows. Still, as we've seen here in this forum, news and opinions lacking objectivity is no problem for the 35% of the U.S. wing-nut population.

Faux is an arm of Repug/neo- slime machine.

Why would the Dems ever agree to debate or appear on a Repug/neo- channel?

So Fox leans Right while all the others lean Left? Sounds about right.

Word is that a leftist cult of personality type group, the LaRouche's are behind all the fox paranoia.

"Word is"?

I guess you have a link to FoxNews.com to back that up.

Oh well, you know what they say. No guts, no glory. Obviously
there is to much heat in the kitchen for the dimm-o-craps, so
they avoid it. They can always go on the Reverend Al Sharpton's
nationally syndicated radio show.....LOL Heard on at least two
stations, I guess.
