Media Shenanigans/post-NewsMedia Conservative History ping - Democrat Racism And Idiocy Redux

Furthermore, said Cuomo in an interview with the New Haven Register, the U.S. should tell Israel: "Up until now it was just you and the Palestinians killing one another - now you are killing us. Now there are people out there who are taking Israel as the provocation to terrorize us all over the globe - in the United States and elsewhere."

Actually, Cuomo's remarks to the Register are nothing new. On October 5 of last year, he told WNBC-TV's Gabe Pressman that "the biggest aggravation in the Arab world, the biggest reason for their anger toward us and the creation of those suicide terrorists, is Israel and the difficulty with the Palestinian issue."

More surprising than the harsh tone of Cuomo's remarks was that no New York newspaper, or any media outlet, for that matter, reported them. Then again, given Cuomo's status as a Democratic Party hero -- and in light of the relatively positive press coverage he received during a 12-year tenure as governor that was long on rhetorical flourishes and short on tangible accomplishment -- the silence of New York's media lambs was to be expected.

Ignorant slobs like me have jumped to the conclusion that the reason the Arabs are killing us is because the world isn't big enough for freedom and the Death Cult of the Moon God. Thank goodness Mario Cuomo and the liberal intelligentsia are around to instruct me in the true nature of things!

Never have I heard this put more succinctly. You are exactly right.

CLINTON: "Mario Cuomo is a mean son of a bitch".

FLOWERS: "I wouldn't be surprised if he does not have Mafiosi major connections." (Clinton laughs.)

You distilled that concept down into one sentence very nicely.
