Rush says that the Drive-Bys are like parents escorting Little Barry on his first trip to summer camp..

That made me snort (laugh).

Well, I don’t share your high opinion of the cleverness of the McCain camp. The NY Slimes has not endorsed a Republican since fricken Eisenhower and acts as an arm of the DNC.

How sad is it that I'm not completely confident he would not rewrite and resubmit it?

McCain is the quintessential battered wife.

Traitor NYT's Op-Ed Political Censor David Shipley ...

Closer to the truth. Fair and without bias. I think not.

'It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama's piece

As I understand this, the Times will only print an article by McCain if it agrees with Obama. It would also be nice if McCain endorsed Obama and withdrew from the race.

The point wasn’t about the NYT and whothey endorse. It is that Mccain knew the story of his editorial being rejected versus Obama’s not would make a lot of news , working to get his actual editorial out , on a day that Obama is supposed to dominate
the news with his Messiac world tour this week.

Rush is blasting Little Barry today. Little Barry brags about how he opposed the mission and then goes over there and makes arrogant statements completely ignoring the plans of McCain and the Commander-in-Chief.

GOD’s making the media total crooks in peoples eyes.

This isn’t McCain’s loss, its the NYT’s that has lost the last shard of credibility.

'It would be terrific to have an article from Senator McCain that mirrors Senator Obama's piece,' NYT Op-Ed editor David Shipley explained in an email late Friday to McCain's staff. 'I'm not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written.'

Lockstep Communist scumbag filth.

I would hope that FOX, Hannity, Rush, Laura and any other objective member of the media (I know, I know, they are few and far between),,,would PUBLISH the letter and make it their lead story!!!

The NYT has 'crossed the line' with their disgusting censorship and blatant, unconscionable bias on this one.

Don't worry, the more the Morons @ the NYTimes act like they are TASS or the mouthpiece for the new Fuhrer, the more likely the middle class voters will be rejecting their pure elitist/socialist crap!

That is a good point. By refusing the editorial they have made it more interesting.

I expect bias from the NY Times, but this was unusually heavy handed. Events like this, all the network anchors going to Iraq with Obama, etc. reveal media bias more blatant than ever before. No honest person could fail to see it.

That’s perfectly fine, I’m just saying the way they see it editorials are supposed to be a bit more substantive.

No that's not it. It's that they are in the tank for Obama.

They are no doubt in tank for Obama and every democrat, but that doesn’t necessarily mean this was an acceptable editorial.

The NY Times practices the “Fairness Doctrine,” which means a complete media blackout of anyone to the right of Stalin.

Good for Drudge!

Now maybe some business people who are opposed to managed news and self-censorship will start pulling their ads.

So, McCain is not even entitled to his own opinion?
