Kerry, Enraged by Cavuto, Threatens to 'Ban' Fox News

Democrat airhead apparent John Edwards has "outlawed" the American flag, and now his ticket has threatened to "ban" Fox News Channel.

Oh, wait: John Kerry's handlers have already flip-flopped on their latest attempt at censorship.

Kerry's senior mouthpiece John Sasso "threatened to ban Fox News staff from the candidate's plane Friday night" because of afternoon business host Neil Cavuto's amusing comment about Osama bin Laden backing Kerry, the Boston Globe reported Sunday.

"Kerry advisers quickly backtracked, however, concluding that an escalating conflict with a major cable channel just days before the election would do nothing to help" the Democrat nominee.

On Cavuto's show Friday, a Republican guest noted that the al-Qaida terrorist leader's latest whining about President Bush amounted to "an endorsement" of Kerry. Another guest disagreed: "I don't think he's going to have a Kerry-Edwards sticker in the cave."

The amiable Cavuto said: "He's all but doing that. I thought I saw a button."

Today the Middle East Media Research Institute reported that the U.S. media had mistranslated bin Laden's latest terrorist threat, which targets not pro-Bush nations but the states that vote to re-elect the president. Will Kerry's campaign denounce this endorsement, which belongs in the same sewer as those offered by NAMBLA, Yasser Arafat and Communist Party USA?
