This just sealed the deal with me regarding McCain. I am so outraged at the innuendo. They just threw out a bucket of mud and hoped it stuck.

The New York Times may have done what McCain has not been able to do, unite Conservatives behind him.

Where's the sarcasm tag? You gotta be kidding! This 'sealed the deal'?...because of your 'outrage'?! Hard to believe a liberal newspaper would try to harm a Republican candidate...never in a million years!

This story is irrelevent to the many reasons NOT to vote for McCain. You're outrage sounds phony. Vote third party.

“I’ve got one question: Is this stuff true? If it is, I’m not inclined to shoot the messenger since it would be a waste of both time and ammo. So I’m waiting to see if it’s true. If it is, McCain’s got only himself to blame. Not the MSM.”

The New York Times had been sitting on this story since December but obviously held off only to ensure that McCain would win the nomination first. So they are to blame for the timing.

I have no respect for him, either, but plenty of people do, to the extent that a few words by him about Thompson’s Christianity or lack thereof was a major reason that his campaign tanked while Huckabee’s rose.

McCain is in trouble with hard core evangelicals, who are the kind of principled people who will not go to the polls unless there is someone to vote FOR, rather than against. We’ve seen this in the last several elections.

McCain may at some point be able to consolidate the fiscal and security wings of the conservative base, but that matters for naught if the social conservatives stay home because they cannot stomach voting for a purported adulterer.

The New York Times is well known for reckless as well as biased journalism.

The interesting thing here is that they wait, to come out with this, until he has “apparently secured the nomination” as it is propounded by some.

I despise McCain. But this tells a lot about the NYT. They’ve had this crap for eight years and deliberately picked now to throw it on him. They could have done this a long time ago.

Swine versus swine. Be careful who you lay down with Johnny. And who you spit at.

This was so predictable.

The maverick is starting to find out about his friends in the MSM.

Hang on John, “You ain’t seen, read or heard all that will be coming down from your beloved MSM.

You are right about that,and you are right about Thompson too. If Fred had that support instead of Huckabe Fred would be rolling toward the nomination in a big way.

Huh?

If the NYT came out with a story that painted McCain as a saint, it wouldn't unite the conservatives behind him.

Bill Keller made a statement that this story reached his desk for the first time Tuesday. Bill Barnicle from the Boston Globe and many others dispute this statement. It’s been common knowledge that the NYT’s had this story and sat on it at least since December. Timing is everything. If the NYT had published this story in December, McCain would not have won the NH primary.

My guess is Keller has stepped into it bigtime. LOL. What did he (Keller) know and when did he know it????

That’s the meat of this little hit job.

This was as predictable as the Sun rising in the East! Anyone who was surprised by this is a complete fool.

That's harsh language. The Politically Correct term for "complete fool" is "moderate Republican who hopes to build a new electoral coalition that doesn't include traditional conservatives".

"But this tells a lot about the NYT"

Don't forget - It's only a month ago that the NY Times endorsed McCain.

And this dirt on him was well known by them at the time they made the decision to back him.

Of course, that was when they wanted to help him knock out republicans that might stand a real chance of actually winning the presidential election by defeating Hillary or Obama.

It was very predictable that the MSM would unload on McCain once he had the nomination locked up. We'll hear the "gook" episode replayed over and over, along with whatever else they can dig up, such as this 9-year-old story that's mostly innuendo.

What I'm wondering is whether the MSM will ever expose Obama's radical ties, such as his pastor's open admiration for Louis Farrakhan and his own admiration for Saul Alinsky.
