It is interesting to see Fox News seeming to claim the centrist grounds on social issues - a bid toward greater respectability? In this clip, we see them taking on a Christianist on behalf of the fallen gay soldiers:

Greater ratings, I would imagine.

And there is something encouraging that this should be the way to greater ratings - something to keep one's head up when it feels like we are falling off the far-right, evangel cliff.

Not even FoxNews has supported Phelps and his groupies. They lose nothing by coming out against these guys.

They could have ignored the story, though. It's just that I imagine they would have avoided it in their early days, not wanting to take any risk offending their base, and now they are trying to expand their base. Just a thought that comes to mind.

Not really. The heat on Phelps Co has increased and continues to do so.

No, they're solidifying their base. Remember that Bush signed the bill that keeps Phelps et al away from funerals not too long ago... a few weeks, maybe?

I suppose they are rather anti-American in general, which should make them safe targets, heh.

See you in Hell! ;)
