I wonder what the Times had to sell to keep Rich on their payroll. Maybe a few old typewriters?
More brilliance from the NYT’s resident cocktail Frank.
Question for Rich: Could it be that the empty suit is just another pathological liar who will say and do anything to win? Do you still believe anything he says? He has already broken nearly all of his campaign promises. But you don’t care, any changes will not be called broken promises. They will be called pragmatic. Likewise any continuation of Bush policies will be called nuanced. None of you have any intellectual honesty.
These accolades to Obama for his ‘rightward’ tilt are misguided to the max.
Obama is simply trying to buy himself political innoculation for the soon-to-come HUGE support of near communism policies with his dedication to union-shops on every corner, ACORN offices in every town, AMNESTY, free health care for illegals, etc.
Do a Google Images search on “gay pride” (turn Safe Search off if you are braver than me) and ask yourself, “Would you trust children with these people even if they were heterosexual?” Their image problem is as much their own fault as anything else.
Frank, stop whining. I don’t have the least bit of sympathy for you at this point. You and your colleagues did your best to make this clown look like the Messiah, and his opposition look like the Antichrist and the Whore of Babylon. And on this particular subject, you knew, or should have known, better. You now look foolish complaining.
“Bestowing this honor on Warren was a conscious and glib decision by Obama to spend political capital.”
The homosexuals have no place to go. So Obama can take them for granted. He’s not spending political capital. He’s accumulating it in the most cynical and calculating way possible. It would take a NYT reporter not to see that.
If we are lucky, it signals that Obama is ready to treat the far left of his party the way W treated conservatives. More likely, it is empty symbolism designed to give him political room with moderate Americans to implement a truly horrendous socialist agenda.
The Gaystapo is exempt from the Left’s notions of “tolerance” and “compassion.” You vill obey zem or you vill be shot vile escaping!
Frank Rich is NOT likeable enough. If he was on fire, I wouldn’t “make water” on him to put the fire out.
Gays, bis, and trannies and their entourage should stop while they are ahead most of America has voted and a super majority has said enough is enough. They seem to be not listening.
Obama putting Rick Warren up is a message that he isn’t going to make the same mistake Bill Clinton did. It is good to see him throwing the homos under the bus. They never should have held such a prominence in the Democrat party or any party. I imagine he will find a way to make nice after the fact.
Uggghh!
I’m so sick of these homosexuals running our lives.
Personally, I really just don’t care wha they do to each other, but I am so sick of hearing about them all the time, and how they suffer.
I don’t want to have to jump on the radio news dial in my car while my kids are in it, so as to turn it off because they have to broadcast their pornographic lives to everyone with ears.
Go find someplace where people don’t care about how you live ~ there are plenty of those places in the US ~ and leave me and my family the HELL alone!!
So, the the heck does this mean from this guy? I guess the columnist is sodomite?
The editorial states, “Stoking this rage, no doubt, is the dawning realization that the old religious right is crumbling”
The Left loves to believe that the ‘yes’ on Proposition 8 vote is about fear and loathing. Also the right was supposed to be dead decades ago when the Left does what it always does, which is to get comfortable and actually put leftist ideology into practice, which brought us the Carter years, which then brought us Reagan.
The editorial talks about Hubris, but the real Hubris is being on the left. Conservatives vote for conservatives. The problem is currently with the Republican party - a problem that hopefully will be solved soon.
I like this response to the editorial on NYTimes.com:

“I’ve been an advocate of gay marriage for 20 years but the behavior and uproar of the gay community has turned me against them and their causes the way no right-winger or religious nutjob could ever do.
How dare they make this inauguration all about them! Warren has said equally horrible things about the pro-choice community but you don’t see us demanding he be scalped. That’s because we’re focused on the policy.
Gays have only themselves to blame for the passage of Prop 8. They did ZERO outreach to the black and latino communities. They were so arrogant that they did not mount a proper opposition to Prop 8. When it passed they started looking for people to blame—stalking donors to Prop 8 and castigating blacks.
The more the gay community rants and attacks their allies, the more they will harm their cause. Calling Obama a bigot, homophobe and traitor (as many have) doesn’t make me want to storm the barricades against Prop 8. It might also make Obama drag his feet in getting around to those issues.
