--SNIP-- It is a line of attack that echoes Republicans’ earlier questioning of Mr. Obama’s American citizenship. Those attacks were blatantly racist in their message — reminding people that Mr. Obama was black, suggesting he was African, and planting the equally false idea that he was secretly Muslim. The current offensive is slightly more subtle, but it is impossible to dismiss the notion that race plays a role in it.
Perhaps the most outrageous example of the attack on the president’s legitimacy was a letter signed by 47 Republican senators to the leadership of Iran saying Mr. Obama had no authority to conclude negotiations over Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Try to imagine the outrage from Republicans if a similar group of Democrats had written to the Kremlin in 1986 telling Mikhail Gorbachev that President Ronald Reagan did not have the authority to negotiate a nuclear arms deal at the Reykjavik summit meeting that winter.

I can’t even take this crap seriously anymore. These people are like high schoolers engaging in debate for the first time.
What B.S.! Who was it constantly reminding us of Obie's blackness? The DEMS & the liberal media pounding the 'historic' nature and significance of the country's first African-American president, that's who...
Of course, if the initial idea was true, the equally false one would be true as well...
Ha, NYT you are a laughingstock as usual.
Anyone other than your liberal zombie brain dead worshipers using the word Black, are racist. If only this admin was as transparent as this RAG is with its blatant race baiting.

Oh, it's the NY Times.
As of today, Amazon.com lists 3,808 works under the category ‘’George Washington Biography.’’ Does anyone believe that our worst president, Barack Obama, will not receive at least the same amount of historical interest as our best?
The story of how our founding fathers built a great country has been entertaining readers for centuries. So it’s a virtual certainty that the story of how Barack Obama tore down the founding fathers’ achievements, particularly the Constitution, will also provide a rich motherlode of interest to readers for generations to come.
And there’s no doubt that the New York Times, as one of Obama’s chief enablers in his rampage across everything Americans once held sacred, will receive its well-deserved share of historians’ disgust.
Thanks to the liberal media, we still don’t know where our president for the past six years was born so that his birthplace can be declared a national monument like all other presidents’ birthplaces have been. What a treasure-house of revelations we can expect when historians no longer have to worry about getting their taxes audited if they provide the truth about the creature sitting in the White House today.
Yeah, the "Editorial Board."
No one would actually put their name on the deranged rant.
But it was one of this crew that had that case of the vapors.

KGB Letter Details Kennedy Offer To USSR
This letter which details Senator Edward Kennedy’s offer to help the Soviet Union defeat Reagan’s efforts to build up the nuclear deterrent in Europe was unearthed by a Times of London reporter in the 1990s after the KGB files were opened.
It got little or no attention, however, until the publication of Paul Kengor’s book ”The Crusader – Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism.”
But even then the actual text of the letter (which is in the book’s appendix pp 317-320) has gotten short shrift:

In other words, the New York Times editorial board believes that Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) is a racist.
It seems like the latest liberal talking point is “Reagan did it” and then completely distort his record.
The Times never had a problem with much more disrespectful language being used of GWB, including by Obama himself.
