Nevada Democratic Party officials said Friday they were canceling a presidential debate co-sponsored by the Fox News Channel, following a joke chairman Roger Ailes made about Democratic candidate Barack Obama.
In a letter sent to Fox News, Nevada State Democratic Party Chairman Tom Collins and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Ailes "went too far" with comments made the night before.
The letter makes no reference to a crusade by the liberal activist group MoveOn.org to boycott Fox, which it calls a "right-wing mouthpiece." Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards dropped out of the debate Thursday, citing in part Fox's participation.
The letter also does not specify which comments by Ailes lead to the decision, but a Democratic source told Reuters it was a joke Ailes made about Obama and President Bush during a speech Thursday night.

"It's true that Barack Obama is on the move," Ailes said during the speech. "I don't know if it's true that President Bush called Musharraf and said 'Why can't we catch this guy?"'
The joke was actually about GWB, but Obama's name was used in it, so the Libs went ballistic. The actual joke was: "And it is true that Barack Obama is on the move. I don't know if it's true that President Bush called (Pakistani President Pervez) Musharraf and said, 'Why can't we catch this guy?' "

So much for free speech. One of the GOP presidential candidates had better hold a press conference and denounce this Stalanist move by the Dims as they cave to their lunatic base.
Maybe now they will let MSNBC host the debate, with their entire tin foil brigade of left wing kooks (Olberman, Chrissy and the rest) moderating the event.
I'm going to send dirty Harry a letter and ask him if he really thinks we're that stupid?
Just an excuse to kiss up to the Kos Kids.
Freeped and Bumped!
>>From the article, this is the "joke":
"It's true that Barack Obama is on the move," Ailes said during the speech. "I don't know if it's true that President Bush called Musharraf and said 'Why can't we catch this guy?"'<<
The implication is that President Bush would use his office and Pakistan against a Democrat that got popular. Is it possible that Democrats pulled out of this debate over a (pathetic if a bit funny) joke on President Bush?
Am I missing something?
Poll FReeped! :D
I am glad they did this...and with Harry Reid's name on the letter.
This just put proof to the statement that Moveon.org made after the 2004 election..that they OWN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY...
They are only taking orders at this time...they have not power of their own, let alone independent thought from the anti-American Soros.
I can't Freep the poll on the joke because it is a bit offensive but its offensive he would suggest that about the President... and thats not how they are gonna read the results.
The joke by Ailes came during a speech to the Radio and Television News Directors Foundation First Amendment Dinner on Thursday night and -- while playing on similarity between Obama's name and Osama Bin Laden -- appears to be directed more at Bush than the senator.
Well, it would be a great time to have s Green debate.
Any Greens running?
Dems will love that LOL!
Democrats throw a hissy fit, take their ball, and go home.
SOP.
I think A better place for a Democrat debate would be a Dem friendly format like Al-Jazeera.
Very surprise at the results so far with this many votes cast.

My thoughts exactly. It demonstrates just who is running the Democrat party and who is beholden to MoveOn.org, and perfectly illustrates what I said earlier about "Who's in charge in Washington, D.C.?".
