This is modern day totalitarian tactics since the new Messiah now controls the message and the media. Mccain has to go on the attack turn rigth and tear this fraud apart. Hildabeast’s numbers went up once she went after the militant Muslim Hussien . RIP HIM - there is so much material to use on this “community activist dope”.

As someone said above, by refusing to publish this the NYT has done more to ensure people will read it. Sometimes, I suppose, your worst enemies can be your best friend.

So all of a sudden the lefty media that McCain thought loved him SO much has turned on him?
Gee. What a shame.

"
It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama's piece"
English Translation: "It would be terrific if McCain would stop contradicting Obama the Messiah."

Rush pointed out today that Little Barry never actually beat Mrs. Clinton...he managed to flip a few more Super D's his way. (And they can easily flip back.--my thought)

McCain:
with the goal of creating stable, secure, self-sustaining democratic allies. Sounds like his definition of Victory -- something the Liberal Democrat editor for the NY times said McCain needed to explain.
To: neutrality
Obama used his editorial to attack McCain and Bush.
To: edzo4
Bias is not really the problem with the media-industrial complex, the ridiculous pretense of objectivity and "fairness" is the problem. Nobody faults the
Daily Worker for not running McCain pieces, or Rush Limbaugh for not slobbering on Obama, but somehow the really big media claim to be different. This only means that the dinosaurs can support their agenda by deceit rather than by open discourse.
This election will be a referendum on the media-industrial complex.
The public has already voted with its wallets, however, as seen in the catastrophic decline of the alphabet news audience (20% in barely a year) and the continuing cycle of layoffs and cutbacks in the dead tree branch.
Obama could pull it out for them, but it is not the foregone conclusion his media shills claim it to be. In any case, an Obama win would only slow, not arrest, the decline. If he loses, if the most media-favored candidate in history cannot defeat the divided GOP and its 72 year old candidate, it will be a blazing asteroid in the media heavens and the harbinger of imminent extinction. In 10 years, they will have no outlet for their skills but pornography and even that will be on the internet.

My first inclination was to think the New York Times blew it. Then I looked at what was written here, and I have another opinion now.
In McCain's submission to the TIMES, he writes of Obama: 'I am dismayed that he never talks about winning the waronly of ending it... if we don't win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president.' NYT's Shipley advised McCain to try again: 'I'd be pleased, though, to look at another draft.'While I agree with McCain's thoughts on Obama, this wasn't an exercise to critique your opponent. It was a time to lay out your own plan.
If the Obama article had some personal remarks about McCain in it, the NYT would be open to some pointed criticism for playing by two sets of rules. I'm not sure that was the case though..

You've taken the plunge. How about helping to keep the facility open.

Within McCain's op-ed itself, there is a bit of a lie that McCain is using in order to try to score a point against Obama, and I've highlighted it as follows:
I find it ironic that he is emulating the worst mistake of the Bush administration by waving the Mission Accomplished banner prematurely.
Did Bush actually wave the "mission accomplished" flag? I believe that Bush stated that there was a lot more work to do and that the war wasn't over.
But, that's an aside. Back on topic:
The NY Times not only wants to set the agenda for the rest of the media, but they also want to set the agenda for McCain and republicans.
My belief is that even Obama's agenda is being set by the media, especially by the NY Times. In fact, I wouldn't be surpr4ised if the NY Times liberals editors themselves wrote up the op-ed for Obama and just let Obama endorse it before printing it.
The NY Times needs to die a quick death. Perhaps this latest episode will convince people once and for all about the heavy bias in the NY Times and those people will cancel their subscriptions.

I saw that...Fox also showed him shooting hoops for the troops (boy, I'll bet they were impressed). Can you imagine the outrage by the Drive-Bys if President Bush went to Iraq and played sports while our troops are in harm's way?

Hell figure it out the day after he loses.
Honestly? I don't think he will.
That's what is so scary about this guy.
HE'S DENSE!
Look at how he is handling illegal immigration. “The people SPOKE”, LOUDLY and the bill didn’t go through. In his own state they are up in arms AGAINST illegal immigration. So what does the imbecile do? Says he'll build a fence and then meets with “La Raca” which means “the race”. It's a RADICAL HIPSPANIC group and plays words games to “trust him” and that he'll make IMMIGRATION REFORM a “top priority”. He still doesn't get that or if he does, he doesn't care what his base WANTS.

The Obama piece was wholy unsubstantive, and it would surprise me if someone who read it would try to defend the NY Times as if they had a rational basis for their decision.
