Here's hoping the GOP rejects this offer.

After Nevada Democrats dropped Fox as a host of its Democratic presidential debate -- and after Fox denounced the move as anti-free speech and "Stalinist" -- I thought...damn right! How dare the progressive party in America not allow the conservative Fox to air its presidential debate. So I today contacted key Republican party chairs in the four early primary and caucus states to ask that Air America host their Republican presidential debates.

Gree, of course, wants to argue that if the cancellation of the FoxNews debate by Democrats was Stalinist, a refusal to have GOP debates on Air American would fall into the same category. He's wrong.

First, the FoxNews debate was agreed to in advance and contracted for by the Democrats and the network before the cancellation was made due to ideological pressure.

Second, Air America does not have sufficient market-share or enough of a "footprint" to reach a significant number of listeners, while FoxNews is the largest, highest-rated cable news outlet in the country. The two are not even comparable.

Third, FoxNews is all an award-winning objective journalistic source, and presents both sides of the issues. Air America is a partisan entertainment network that is not taken seriously by anyone other than those in the final stages of bush Derangement Syndrome.
