What, you want the left to have a complete monopoly on news channels?

Who said anything about Obama being afraid of Fox?

Or does a discussion about Fox News require we also discuss Obama?

LOL the headline for the article is: "Fox News' Glenn Beck strikes ratings gold by challenging Barack Obama"

Oh yeah, that's right. I forgot we were in absurdville where any person who doesn't accept a challenge from any person, no matter how stupid the challenge, is deemed afraid of the challenge and the challenger.

As an aside, I challenge you to fly to DC, strip to the nude, and loudly proclaim your undying love for McCain on the Mall. Or are you a coward too, afraid to take on totally pointless challenges?

That's just a smidgen less silly than Obama and Co's attacks on Limbaugh.

Good. If it is less silly, then surely you will do it, or Tooblue will call you a coward with strong support from... yourself.

You are the one that said; "Or does a discussion about Fox News require we also discuss Obama" Uhm, in this instance YES, a discussion about Fox News requires we also discuss Obama, because the article YOU linked to talks about Obama!

Unless of course logic does not apply here ... well then, I'll be happy to join you in the rabbit hole!

It's amusing to watch Cali resort to ever more ridiculous hyperbole to try and defend his Messiah. I think he's starting to lose it.

Truth be told, no one including Limbaugh actually expects that Obama will take him up on his offer. His debate challenge is just gamesmanship--an attempt to one-up the opposition, if you will. We'll see if Emmanuel, Carville, and Begala can come up with a counter, but based on Gibbs, they may just fold and walk away.

Pretty funny.
