1. And not only the Republican Party but the extreme far right wing.
I agree. Why are they feeding that thing?

3. If it can be proved that no faux viewer is every turned around in their opinion
by a viable democrat, then your demand might have a basis in reality.
Essentially, though, you would cede the air time exclusively to Republicans.

6. Most normal thinking people I know don't watch it...
That includes my republican grandmother. She thinks it's crap. The only one who I know that watches it is my RW grandpa(their divorced because he was a wife beater).

8. Why in the hell not?
Do you think any Democrat who appears on FOX isn't acutely aware that it's right-wing propaganda? So fucking what? Going on FOX shows that we're not going to let their bullshit go uncontested.

We're walking into the lion's den with our heads held high because we're right, and we know we're right, and we don't give a damn how much they want to yell and cut off our mics, we're going to spread the truth. Even if nobody watching wants to hear it.

I say hell yes, go on FOX. Call these fuckers out wherever and whenever we can.

11. No self-respecting Dem should WATCH Faux News. Period.
You're giving your eyeballs to ads for companies that support fascism.
Every time you watch FOX, you are enriching your enemies.
The only reason you should EVER watch FOX is to know which companies to boycott.

12. You're only enriching them by patronizing the companies that advertise there.
If you don't watch it (and I don't) you may inadvertently be patronizing companies that advertise there.
Can you say with absolute certainty that you don't patronize ANY companies that advertise on FAUX?
Is the Obama campaign running any ads on Faux?
