No. No it doesn't.

You gotta hand it to him to actually GO on Fox news himself. I would be almost inclined to actually watch...

on second thought....

I came here to say it doesn't "beg the question" but I see I owe mad props to Fluff Girl

+1 for funny headline
-1 for improper use of 'begs the question.'

You're begging the question, sub-dracula.

I wish Obama would go on O'Riley. I think they would have a fascinating discussion. And O'Riley has defended Obama countless times on his radio show. So I doubt it would be a hostile interview.

language changes. Yes, incorrect usage, but the same as hacker/cracker. Technically correct argument that was lost at least a decade ago.

Why would he submit to this exactly? What does he have to gain? Fox Noise "news" "reporters" have shown they have zero integrity and are not above making themselves look completely absurd to advance their ridiculous agenda.


/cringes at the thought of the fair and balanced William Ayres and Jeremiah Wright discussion sure to ensue

xuanzhiyouxuan: language changes.

It does. This instance hasn't. Yet.

Obama should immediately demand an apology for all the Fox News assholes that spun the "maddrassa" rumor.

It's not like Fox doesn't have its own set of terrorist sympathies (new window)

/fair and balanced against the American people

You know, Skleenar, inhaling mud is bad for your health.

Maybe he won't get the "Gee Senator, why are you such a Rock Star?" questions

Skleenar: You're begging the question, sub-dracula.

Sub-dracula is against you.

Drew was on Fox News the other day discussing RickRoll and his conversation with Rick Astley.

Hang On Voltaire: Maybe he won't get the "Gee Senator, why are you such a Rock Star?" questions

It would be quite a coup for Fox 'news' to ask serious questions on policy, and avoid simply going over old talking points over and over and over until people associate them strongly with Obama regardless of their irrelevance...

Yeah, that's going to happen.

Well, they've got to ask more pertinent questions than ABC did at the last debate.

Hang On Voltaire: Maybe he won't get the "Gee Senator, why are you such a Rock Star?" questions

I'm sure he'll get lots of the inane "Many people say..." questions.

he'll steal some of the white racist votes from hillary if he performs well, he won't lose any of his educated elitist vote if he doesn't do well

there is no way he can lose from this appearance

unless hannity shoots him

moops:

I hate that. Just ask the question.

The fact that he's going to be on Sunday television and on FOX News may be an indication he figures he has to reach out to working-class Democrats, moderates and conservative Democrats and FOX News is a good place to do it," he said.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

HAHAHAHA!

HAHAHA!

I'm sorry, it's just that this is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen, heard, or eaten.


Moving on, I don't see how this can possibly help him. I'd never seen the man act even remotely shaken until the infamous ABC "debate", and I would bet good money that his appearance on FOX will be at least as bad.

If He goes on Fox and sucks, his supporters and most others will roll thier eyes. "IT's fox, they're against him."

If he hits it out of the park, he's a genius.

There's no downside, especially post-ABC debate. If they ask those sort of questions, everyone will know it.

Hang On Voltaire: moops:

Not their style. They ask totally ridiculous questions with the "Many people say..." thing so it seems like they are saying "We, being a respected news outlet, hate to ask something this totally partisan and loaded, but we have to since many people are wondering..."

That way when they there is war, economic problems, debt, social issues, ect going on and they ask "Are you patriotic?" they think they don't look as transparently partisan.

I'll have to TiVo it because on Sundays I have to go to my racist, America hating church then after that I have a meeting at the rifle club. My Sundays are quite busy.

OK so you think Fox is going to ask Obama "Are you patriotic?" and they are not going to mention the war, economic problems etc?

I really doubt we will get anything more substantive out of Fox News interviewing Obama than when Jon Stewart asked him about his plans to enslave the white race.

Cable news is just a massive circle jerk of daily talking points, signifying nothing.

Look, we argue all the time and disagree on here, I know. But let's be honest for a minute. You don't think that Wallace is going to bring up Wright again and again? Or the bomber dude? Or the time the guy who mows obama's grass was arrested for cocaine possession? Or anything that can attack his character and his patriotism? Yes, he will ask about the important things, but it will be about 50-50. I don't blame him. He is catering to his audience. They want to hear that shiat. Which, as I said, is why this is brilliant politically. Obama has nothing to lose. Foxnews has zero credibility left. So if they do all this shiat, they just show what they are. The fact that Obama goes on there into the den shows you that their done as a "news" organization. They could get him to say anything and people are just like "So what? It was Fox".

Obama is about to be Ron Pauled by Chris Wallace. i can already picture it now.

So Obama (insert question designed to make you look stupid no matter how you answer)


i bet everyone insannity, brit franken hume , steve douchey, random black dude that appears once a week starts with a J, the beltway bunch and the half alive zombie contributors all have hard ons well except alan colmes he has a wet pussy.

He still hasn't completely answered the questions about him because he can't and he knew he was going to be a political liability. To paraphrase Rev Wright, Obama's "chickens have come home to roost" As for Fox News they are still the number one cable news channel so they are not "done"

This demonstrably untrue. He has answered time and time again. He just hasn't given the answer you want. He won't disown him. He has stated it. You can say that is wrong, but to say he hasn't answered is a total lie.

Fox news may be great entertainment, but it isn;t professional journalism. Anybody who gets their political news from them is retarded. That is a LOT of Americans. Ow my balls would be the highest rated show on TV. I really believe that. In all fairness, anybody who gets their political info from MSNBC is also a dumbass.

honestly

i think even terrorists will be happier
with someone who understands their culture

since obama has some experience with the muslim world.


this is a GOOD thing, america.

i swear to god, middle america is as clueless as shiat
to the realities of the world

if they can't see that.


Obama is the only one who can help to heal
what george bush and his ilk have done to the country,
to the world

Hang On Voltaire: As for Wright I would ask him about it too. He still hasn't completely answered the questions about him because he can't and he knew he was going to be a political liability.

Exactly what questions that "haven't been completely answered" do you want to be asked?

He's getting panicky! OMG the wheels are falling off the Rubik's Cube fadboy!

And just like a Rubik's Cube, a year from now nobody will want to play with Obama.

Let that be a lesson to the Dems: Fad voting got you all into this mess. And let's all be frank at this point, it's a hella mess.

mrEdude: i swear to god, middle america is as clueless as shiat

*Cough*

Elitist.

*Cough*

I hate to break it to you, pal...but there's a lot more to middle America than just "flyover" space between L.A. and New York.

Obama agrees to finally go on Fox News Sunday, which begs the question: Why is Obama being interviewed by someone with such well-known terrorist sympathies?

FTFY

Two possibilities:

1--Wallace asks intelligent, issue related questions and Senator Obama answers truthfully and thoughtfully.

2--Wallace focuses on the Wright/Bitter/Ayers stuff and Obama answers truthfully and thoughtfully albeit resignedly.

Either way, the "panel" will destroy him at the end of the show. I do hold out some hope for the Wallace portion based on his comments on Fox and Friends a couple weeks ago attacking the attackers

He still has not explained how he attended this church for 20 years, had this man marry him, baptize his children, write the foreword to his book, serve as his spiritual adviser and be a member of a campaign committee and he never ever knew about these views. PLUS he and Wright discussed how Wright would be a liability. It is almost laughable.

haha you think Fox News cares if they have zero creditability left with democrats? You really think its going to be 50/50? this is fox new's only chance to interview a democrat this election. and believe me Chris Wallace is going to spend every second busting Obamas balls.

Chris Wallace is their go-to guy. Even Bill Orielly is one step below him in hell.


if you're a Obama supporter its probably in your best interest to not even watch it. pretend it didnt happen. go out for ice cream delights.

He has explained that he doesn't agree with the most extreme things that Wright had said (even though they weren't even very extreme). What more do you want him to say? What in your world would put this stupid, irrelevant, side issue to bed once and for all?

They weren't extreme? WTF would you consider extreme then? OK so he doesn't agree with them. Did he not say that he found them offensive (I think he did)? Then why would you not only continue to attend the church but adopt him as a mentor and adviser?

I don't consider anything he said extreme. We do have the right to say anything we want in this country, no? He wasn't yelling fire in a crowded theater, so he can say whatever he wants. I may not agree with it, but I will defend his right to say it.

Why Obama kept him as his pastor is none of anyone's business. To me religion is personal, and frankly I don't give a rat's patoot what his religion is or what church he goes to or who his pastor is. Does he have what it takes to lead this country out of the pit it has been put in by the current administration? This is what matters. Go ahead and argue this, but don't expect me to waste any more time on it.

As will I. He wasn't arrested for what he said. So AGAIN, what WOULD you consider extreme?

That is your choice.

obama's been on fox news before. he was on hannity and colmes about the reverend wright thing. it was pretty obnoxious, because they didn't even interview him. some no name guy interviewed him, and tried to make it sound more like a deposition. obama was laughing at him.

Obama has been on Fox before.

Why is Fox supporting and aiding a Man who openly believes in open dialog with the terrorists? Why are they helping terrorism gain a voice in the national media? What are they going to do next? Show beheading videos?

Chris Wallace calling out FoxNews on unfair Obama bashing (new window)

A man can hope it will be at lease reasonable.

During this whole thing that is the one thing I don't get. Not just that one statement but all the statements. Why the need to defend what he said? I don't see people on the right defending what Falwell or Robertson said after 9/11 (I am SURE there is one guy who did) or what Hagee said about the Catholic Church. I don't get the need to defend it. I really think the left has gone so far over to the "my team" thinking that they went off the deep end OR they just plain agree with him.
