John Edwards has refused to participate in the controversial Congressional Black Caucus/FOX News debate, which has been under fire amidst charges that Fox News is blatantly racist and a propaganda organ of the GOP. This is an email sent to tpmcafe from Edwards' deputy campaign manager Jonathan Prince:
"We just called the CBC to let them know that we're looking forward to their January debate with CNN but we're not going to participate in the proposed debate with Fox. The CBC champions critical issues that matter enormously to the future of our country, and we look forward to discussing them throughout this campaign and at their debate in January. But we believe there's just no reason for Democrats to give Fox a platform to advance the right-wing agenda while pretending they're objective. If there was any uncertainty as to Fox's objectivity, it was put to rest when they attacked Democratic candidates, Democratic constituency groups, and the Nevada Democratic party when their last proposed debate was cancelled for lack of support."
Great job by Edwards. Can you say, "leadership"?
If you agree with John Edwards you can sign the colorofchange.org petition to demand that CBC drop the Fox debates.
Is Fox News racist? Blatantly racist? Yes. Check out this devastating video from foxattacks.com:
Here's a link to an AP article on the drop out, still no word from Fox News - who will undoubtedly call him Osama bin Edwards or something equally assinine and immature.
