Was Ann coulter right? Is John Edwards really a cowardly f*g? Is he scared of opposition? If these candidates can't even stand up to Fox News, why should we trust them to lead the country? This is very disappointing for the dems cause no one is going to watch them on CNN. When are you dems going to grow up and get a pair?

It's not a democrat-republican debate you fools, it's a DEMOCRAT debate. If you cowards can't even stand up to your oppostion than you have no business running the country. I've had enough of you whiny liberal democrats, grow up and debate your ideas with confidence. The only problem is your ideas are garbage and they don't hold up when someone questions you on them.

I could care less if the republicans want to debate on air america. The only problem is no one will listen to them. No one will watch them on CNN either. Larry king is the highest rated show on CNN and every single show on Fox from 6-11 pm gets better ratings than he does. The only people who will watch the debate are you democrat clowns who lap up whatever Lord Obama tells you.

The dem's do not want a public debate because they can not support any of their views with facts. It would be embarassing to them to be exposed on television as ignorant.

Would you go on a network which is bias and aligned with your opposition? Isn't it just giving the network the opportunity to be unfair in its questioning and reason. I don't think candidates should be subjected to unfair news journalism.
When Fox decides to pull its head in, and get back to what real journalism is, then maybe the Democrats should go on. It would be the same if the Republicans didn't want to go a a Democratically aligned show.
Business, big business and industry in particular should stop using it's position to influence constituents. If they want to be political and they want to have an agenda they should run for election. As industry is not an elected representative, they should be presenting all views and then allowing their viewers to make an informed decision.... not force propaganda down the viewers throats until they don't know any better.

Seems to me that Air America has offered to host, moderate and run a debate for the Republican candidates. Their offer was more generous than Fox News', since they offered to allow Fox or a conservative outlet to co-host. Fox would have been the sole host for the Nevada and other debates.
Given their blatantly false coverage of Obama's childhood schooling, their listing Mark Foley as a Democrat, their stupid, misleading and false graphics that they constantly run, there's no reason to go on Fox until they make some pretense of being objective, or caring about facts or news.
When they accept the Air America offer, then the Dems should show up on the Republican News Network, as well. But not before.

might you bypass on a community that's bias and aligned along with your opposition? isn't it only giving the community the possibility to be unfair in its thinking and reason. i don't think of applicants could be subjected to unfair information journalism. whilst Fox decides to tug its head in, and get returned to what actual journalism is, then perhaps the Democrats could bypass on. it may well be the comparable if the Republicans didn't want to bypass a a Democratically aligned coach. company, large company and industry in specific could end making use of this is place to impact aspects. in the event that they want to be political and that they want to have an schedule they might desire to run for election. As industry isn't an elected representative, they might desire to be featuring all perspectives after which permitting their visitors to make an recommended determination.... not tension propaganda down the visitors throats till they don't understand any further efficient.

Look, FOX (Faux) News calls itself fair and balanced, but it has probably one semi-liberal voice among all its commentators: Alan Colmes, and he doesn't get half the time allotted to Hannity, who is a liar and a hypocrite (he holds a Freedom Concert, then kicks out the liberal gate-crashers). Then there's Billo, whose credentials include a stint with a tabloid-style news programme--back when he had black hair, didn't shout at everyone, and never cut off a guest or contributor. THAT is cowardly, as are all the lies and crap this sad excuse for a news network spews on a daily basis.
Their appearance on CNN will probably be more successful, because CNN is not completely right or left. And your assertion that the other networks are somehow liberal biased is laughable.
As for Ann Coulter, you might approve of an ugly rail-thin scree who plagiarizes and calls for judges to be poisoned, or those who disagree with her to be physically beaten, but there are some folks out there with their feet in reality. Not in fairytale FOX land.

No,they're pretty damn smart.
What Democrat in his or her right mind would attend a debate that's hosted exclusively by Fox "News"?
This is the same channel that put "Mark Foley D-FL under the man's picture,has had memos leaked that show producers giving instructions to reporters on how they were to make Democrats look bad on a given day.
Sorry,but that doesn't fly.

MSNBC is having the first of the Presidential debates on April 26th. No, I don't think they are cowards. They will debate, just not on Fox News. They are making a statement, and one that coincides with most of the journalistic world, that Fox News is highly biased to the right wing Republicans. Like it or not, that is the reputation that Fox has garnered for themselves, it's no ones fault but their own. To avoid the label of only debating from a liberal network, they chose MSNBC to make their first debate entry. MSNBC has a high percentage of pundits that run to the conservative side, but aren't bombastic idiots about it. They actually welcome input from all involved parties on their shows without stacking the deck or ganging up on the guest who is a Democrat, whether they be a moderate or a liberal.
It's not that they think they're going to get a tougher mediator on Fox, it's that they don't want to make it possible for a right wing network to make any more money from them than they already do. Makes sense to me, they're right about Faux News.

Why do you want the Dems on Fox to give them exposure?
They're just going to convince people we can't win in Iraq and that withdrawing is "a good idea".
They're just going to tell people how they'll have a "solution" to immigration.
They're just going to say invading Iran is a bad idea.
Are you sure you're not playing into their hands?
Idiot!!

Why should members of the Democratic Party appear on a TV network that is obviously a Republican Party mouthpiece? Wouldn't that be like a Republican appearing on Air America Radio or Pacifica Radio?

Ann Coulter is a stupid, butt-kissing Republican. She has no clue about anything unless she is told by someone. She was destroyed and left in tears when Al Franken debated her, so your attempt on a question with her name in it was moot.
Faux News is Republican-owned and Republican biased. The only reason you want them on Faux News is because you want the Republicans thrown softball questions instead of answering real questions. You know it's Republican-biased.
What I am saying is true, and you can't refute it. If so, then WHY ARE YOU SO INTERESTED IN THEM BEING ON FAUX NEWS?
EDIT: Just like the person below me said. Why do Republicans have a problem with Jon Stewart and the Daily Show? Why can't they grow a pair and back their president? Why can't they answer the questions that Stewart throws out there? If they can't even answer questions that Stewart ask or even go on his show, why are they in the positions they are in? Scared of opposition? Answer that question YOU...

There is shameful breeches of the Constitution by both sides. No border security, forming the No American Alliance w/o country's knowledge, throwing 3 Border Agents in prison, dipping into our SS Trust Fund--they all are guilty(except the few who dare to fight).
