If they can't face FOX News, how can they face Al Qaeda? Remember that one?
State GOP withdraws as FOX debate partner
UnionLeader.com has learned that the New Hampshire Republican Party has quit as a co-sponsor of tomorrow night's nationally televised GOP forum on FOX News.
The 8 p.m. event at Saint Anselm College -- the last debate before Tuesday's primary -- had become controversial when FOX refused to include Ron Paul.
Hardy-har-har.
Yeah, remember when Republicans were yukking it up over that bullshit line? Of course, the fight wasn't about fearing slanted questioning so much as it was about lending validation to FOX News's reveling in its role as a mouthpiece for the Republican orthodoxy, while coyly pretending to be "fair and balanced."
Well, now some Republicans are learning that "it's OK if you are the right kind of Republican." Ron Paul doesn't fit the Republican gatekeepers' idea of GOP orthodoxy, so despite the fact that he's outraising and outpolling several other contenders, they're excluding him from the debate.
So, is the NH GOP now "too weak to face Al Qaeda" because they now realize that the FOX party line is bullshit, and they're just not a news organization after all?
How blatant does their manipulation of the coverage have to get before people catch on?
