take a pot shot against the travesty that is Fux News.

Again, thanks to Move On for this...

Rather than email everyone about all of this, I'm pasting it here, verbatim:

Subject: It's time to take on Fox

Hi,

I wanted to tell you about something pretty outrageous.

Fox News convinced the Democratic Party to let Fox host a nationally-televised Democratic presidential primary debate this summer in Nevada!

But Fox isn't even a legitimate news channel! It's a right-wing mouthpiece like Rush Limbaugh—dedicated to smearing Democrats. (Recently, Fox falsely claimed Sen. Barack Obama attended a terrorist school!)

There's a growing backlash of people demanding that Democrats drop Fox. Can you help out by signing this petition to the Democratic Party of Nevada? It's really easy—just click this link:

Thanks!

It only takes a couple of minutes, if that, to click a couple links and tell them who you are, and if you are really ambitious, add a few comments of your own. It certainly couldn't hurt anything.

I know that for folks like me that sometimes like to think of ourselves as even a little bit more left, politically, than the Democrats, it's sometimes troubling to realize that we are, in effect, compromising to support them. Unless one were to take more radical and disruptive action, however, I don't see an alternative. I used to think differently. Then W (president dumbass) got "elected" in 2000, and "re-elected" in 2004. The Democrats are our party, like it or not. We've got to do what we can to make the party more to our liking... Bueno... I think I've already said far more than enough on this topic for now.
