Gray Lady demands Hillary be quiet and start losing

Even before the scope of Barack Obama’s loss became apparent in last night’s Pennsylvania primary, the New York Times editorial board published a screed attacking Hillary Clinton for remaining in the race. Called “The Low Road to Victory”, it demands an end to her campaign even while she handily wins major states. Actually, it’s not that they want her to quit, but that they want her to stop competing against Obama so hard — apparently conceding that Obama can’t win in a tough race:

The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.

Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election......

By the Rat definition of the word “negativity” applies to any form of truth-telling, whenever the object of the truth is a leftist, that is.

Just as the term “swift-boating” in Rat lingo means character assassination while, to the rest of us, it means cutting through curtain of lies which surround an Anointed Leftist and telling the truth about him/her.
