[Yo-Yo]

People, it's not PBS' call. She was selected by the Commission on Presidential Debates. Complaining to PBS won't do a thing.

[Viking Ski Bum]

Imagine the howling if Hannity or Limbaugh were moderating a debate.

What does the McCain camp say about this?

[Diogenesis]

PBS is proven to have NO integrity, having tricked the McCain campaign
about Gwen Ifill's, Lehrer's, and the rests' complete lack
of ethical, legal, and moral duty in coming forward with their preplanned secret
biases, financial conflicts and even schedules
[Ifill's "Obama as Messiah" book signing planned for Jan 20, 2009].

[Cicero]

I sent an email to the Debates Commission, but I think people should email PBS as well, asking them if they think they deserve taxpayer support for doing this kind of thing.

McCain apparently took Palin away from her earlier handlers and gave her to a new bunch, hopefully more competent. Anyway, the McCain campaign didn’t know about this forthcoming book.

But Gwen Ifil certainly did. And I believe that PBS knew about it, too. Does anyone believe that Ifil wouldn’t have mentioned her book to her co-workers at PBS?

And it’s pretty obvious that Obama knew about this book, too, yet said nothing during the negotiations.

[Notasoccermom]

I think it is in best interest to keep her there and make public known that she had vested interest in Obama. It may raise doubts in people’s minds just like they had about Rick Warren and Saddleback.

[Mr. K]

[austinaero]

What about Mara Liason from NPR?

I don’t think Ifill should have to step down, that looks like the GOP having too much of a temper tantrum, plus you know the MSM and the DEMS will spin it as racism. However, I do think it would be profession for Ifil to disclose her book and interviews of Obama at the beginning of the debate. It would go a long way toward letting the audience know she has a vested interest. I would expect her to have some interest considering she is an American. I could see her acknowleding the book and her previous positive reports on Obama as a sort of compromise.

[Humble Servant]

Palin’s opening remarks MUST include a gracious congratulation to Ifil on the imminent release of her book celebrating Obama. We have to keep the bias of the media in the public view.

[rwfromkansas]

Don’t forget Faxing Commission on debates....

Their phone box is full:

[Repeal 16-17]

If Ifill’s questioning is biased, Palin will automatically win the debate. PUMAs would be enraged at seeing Palin be the victim in a rigged debate. So, Gwen Ifill could end up being good for us.

[patriot08]

Is this sheer insanity or what? Letting a black Obama supporter and pro-Obama book author have control of the one and only vice presidential debate??
And here’s the e-mail address of Janet H. Brown, Executive Director of the Debates Commission: jb@debates.org
FREEP HER OUT WITH PROTESTS. DEMAND IFILL BE REPLACED.

And did you hear McCain telling the nation today that he had every confidence that Ifill would be fair??

Email McCain. Tell him he has an obligation as our candidate to get off his duff and fight back.
To h*ll with bipartisian BS, to h*ll with PC, to h*ll with ‘conducting a respectful campaign’!
Respectful campaigning went out the window with Obama’s nasty, ‘lipstick on a pig’ and ‘You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. It’s still going to stink after eight years.’ Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, Campaigning for Odinga!!
