I’d about guarantee you’re right.

The trouble is, those like Luntz who depend on Fox for work aren’t going to risk shooting it down, so the Dems and the media may succeed in giving this legs.

Probably don’t need a President who will cry under pressure.

I think 30% of Americans are a “lost cause,” not 10-20%.

>>I smell a rat....if the Dems can create the impression out there that Ailes is a political player, then the Obamites can pretend to feel justified in freezing out Fox as a partisan opponent.<<

That bears repeating.

FOX needs to revisit the idea of a competing nightly news broadcast on the FOX entertainment network of stations!
Brit Hume is the perfect anchor for such a broadcast.

Mr. Ailes,

PLEASE keep doing your day job in the great and effective way that you do.

We can find someone else to be POTUS for a term or two. We need you and your expertise now and into the future beyond arbitrary term limits.

Thank you.

You make a good point! They need a person to go after and not an institution like Fox News.

Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

Ailes, DeMint,Palin, Patraeus, Oliver North,Jonah Goldberg,John Bolton, the NRA and a few others need to meet and evolve a take back the Republican party strategy.

Our leadership is now beginning to crystalize.Lets hope it manifests in time.

That;s the key question. And how to delay/stop Zer0's RADICAL BUM-RUSH, is another.

If they do not evolve in time, we will have violence in this country. That fact hangs in the balance. A nation which refuses the laws of its government will resist their enforcement, unconditionally. The election in 2010 needs to have leadership of , by and for the people. Right now we do not have that.

This is a significant problem.
