Far-Left Bloggers Get Nevada Debate Nixed

Internet lefties hate the Fox News Channel with a vengeance.

The same group of techies who pushed Howard Dean’s presidential campaign into the spotlight has shown that it can call the shots when it comes to state party officials.

With its caucus being second in line in the 2008 primary season, the Nevada Democratic Party wanted to have a large audience view its August debate between Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, et al. It chose the cable network with the biggest audience, Fox.

Through a barrage of postings and e-mails, enraged bloggers put the pressure on. John Edwards was the first to fold.

Using as their excuse a humorous remark made by Fox News’ chairman that poked a little fun at President Bush, Nevada Democrats cancelled the debate capitulating to the whims of the fringe Democratic base.

There’s an obvious choice of venue for Dem debates, the place where John Edwards announced his presidential candidacy.

No, it’s not Keith Olbermann’s show.

It’s the “Daily Show” on Comedy Central.
