Evidently FNC offered its network for a Democratic debate but was turned down. Are they really afraid their vaunted candidates cannot handle any thing but softball questions? Republicans go into enemy territory (MSM) Every election cycle. It's time for the DNC To put on their big boy pants and grow a pair
What's the DNC afraid of?

Did you really just claim that the main stream media is enemy territory for the GOP?
If you want to bitch about CNBC, have at it. They were lousy. But to claim that the whole media is against you just makes you guys sound like babies.
Comparing the horse shit questions they ask republicans and the softballs they throw the Dems, yes they are. BTW Nice attempt at a deflection but you did not answer the question. What are they afraid of?
I freely admit, the DNC is playing it safe with the debates. Not enough of them and most seem to be in friendly territory. Issues that some Democratic candidates like Bernie were at odds with.
But what you're doing here is the real deflection. You don't like it that your boys are looking like clowns so are desperate to distract. Just take your medicine and admit that the R's are pissing this one down their legs.
Not appearing on FNC, with the largest view ship in cable among all news networks, makes you guy look like babies. Now please answer the question. What are they afraid of?
The DNC seems to be afraid of Iowa football fans watching the debates since they scheduled the next one in Des Moines directly opposite the timing of the Floyd of Rosedale Iowa/Minnesota game at the same time that evening on a weekend night when there are already not many television viewers anyway. Not sure why the DNC wants to have less viewers attend or watch the debate, other than for the DNC head to try and minimize the scrutiny that Hillary Clinton gets from possibly being asked questions she's not prepared to answer.
I am not deflecting at all. I am glad the RNC stood up for its candidates. They are certainly Not looking like clowns. The debate on NBC will happen but they wanted NBC to grovel a little and I am betting they will. Your guys are looking like Chickens, however.
Why would they accept the offer now? It's pretty obvious that the GOP and Fox News is out for blood and just want to humiliate the candidates rather than have an actual debate. I'd turn them down at this point too, they are only looking for revenge rather than actual substance because they fill like they were wronged by CNBC.
Again, we've seen this play out in the past with Bill O'Reilly interviewed Obama during the Super Bowl. Our own PRESIDENT couldn't get a word in edge wise. When was the last time a Republican president fielded questions from Chris Matthews during the Super Bowl. What are they afraid of OP? Answer the question

So, then you freely admit that FOX news is a much superior news channel due to the ratings, right?
My guess is that the Democrats are happy with having a respectful, issues-driven dialogue for their debate structure instead of having it devolve into a three-ring catchphrase-fest and interruption circus as seems to be the Republican MO.
Your fact less response shows your bias. Obama got many words in on the O'reilly interview. What O'reilly would not put up however was three minute answers that drone on but Come no where close to the answer. That is BHO, speciality. As far as Chris Matthews your " facts" are again wrong. Republican candidates have appeared on his air and if his network would put him up a moderator, they would participate. BTW, FNC would not be looking for revenge of any kind( they do not have a dog on the fight)but they would do better than lob the softballs the MSM does to Dems. As has been pointed out Bernie would have the guts to show up at FNC but the DNC is trying to protect Hillary.
Please just stop. You think Hillary is afraid of the likes of Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, or Shep Smith? That's funny. Fox News couldn't get out of their own way if the Democrats agreed to allow them to host a debate.
Why do they want a debate so badly now? Because they feel wronged by CNBC? Why didn't they ask before they were so angry about how the feel they were treated? You know why? Because they don't care about an actual debate, they want to embarrass Democrats because they feel that their candidates were embarrassed by an organization that they deem to be "left leaning". Sorry, but they want the debate aired on Fox for all the wrong reasons and for that reason the DNC has declined to participate in such a spectacle.
Why are the ratings for FOX so good? You should be able to answer that question with the same answer the GOP always gives about the media. FOX is the only one that is "right leaning" so of course they have the highest ratings because its the only channel Republicans can watch for "FAIR AND BALANCED". Democrats get to pick and choose from thousands of organizations because they love the Democrats so much. Only FOX seems to understand the hardship being suffered by the GOP through the media. Geez, can't believe you needed that answered with all the victim card playing you guys do.
But that can't be, because Huey just posted that there's no difference in what is considered the MSM and FOX news! So, which is it?
For the record, I don't watch FOX, so I don't really care. I'm just pointing out yet another hypocrisy of the democrats.
I've read enough of your posts to know that above statement is a lie. You probably DVR Hannity. Loser.
I don't really watch any of the news channels. If I do, I'll watch CNN, but I don't think for a second that they are impartial. Have you ever seen 'Fox and Friends?' It makes me want to club baby seals. I'm one of the handful of real independents on this board.
Swift boats, turd blossoms, dog whistles and spiders.
This is why you're f'n stupid Fred. You really can't get it out of your fat little head that someone not going with the DNC, automatically means they are on the other team.
When are you going to stop being so weak Frederick? You're not as Bless-ed as I hoped for.
It's not a difficult concept Frederick.
The simple answer is that the Dems don't need a circus atmosphere, and that's what would happen on FNC. The DNC figures at this point that they will let the GOP self destruct in the remaining debates.
From a strictly logical standpoint, the Dems don't need to gamble as much as the Republicans. Why risk a chance to damage yourself when you are considered the front runners? At this point, I don't think even the most loyal GOP would think they are favored in November 2016.
This race is HRC's to lose. She may do just that, but as of today... which Republican could beat her? Voters hate the GOP on so many issues !

Can't you at least entertain that the media is generally neutral, but that FNC is overtly right-leaning?
Or does that not compute in your fake libertarian world?
When you demonstrate that you're not a GOPer masquerading as a libertarian.
The hard right morons have already ruined the GOP, now you want to ruin the libertarian ideology?
You answered it yourself...
Why you and the OP are insisting on badgering such an obvious question is beyond me.
Neither Party has a spine, and don't have the ability to stand up to pointed questions and articulate their positions. Because they're both pandering to their bases, and neither base has any room for reasonable and rational answers, and so the candidates get to head to the very bottom and just scream nonsense, and the bases eat that shit up.
The DNC led by Debbie WhisenhiemerIseenothing Schultz is trying to and has been quite successful in turning the party into a slow moving sloth. For better or worse she and her cohorts have determined that less is more in this election cycle for the dems. I do not agree with this but it is what it is.
You're too smart to think that I'm libertarian. Or you just haven't paid attention.
I was just poking at Huey/Red because he's so far up Hillary's ass, I was checking to see if he'd come up for air and answer the question.
Was CNBC neutral? How do you suppose Debbie and the DNC would react to the same line of questions puked out by those moderators? Think a bit before answering. For example, the comic book campaign question, and asking if they should drop out?
The questioning was bad at times, fair at others. I'm guessing they wouldn't react well. CNBC also isn't some liberal leaning institution.
This claim has been their mantra ever since the days of Nixon and Agnew. 50 years later, it is in their DNA. Firmly embedded.
Can anybody supply a link of Fox even offering to do a Democratic debate? I've tried googling it, but can't find anything.
They wouldn't play the lamestream media card, I can tell you that.
We knew that. We just aren't sure you remember that most days.
There were some stupid questions, to be sure. But the majority of the questions were no more confrontational than those asked during the Fox debate, which was held in high regard by the Republicans.
Yet I more and likely have engaged in libertarian lifestyle than any 10 of you Liberal posters on here combined. Let's just say, that I don't follow rules well.
