NY Times Smears McCain/Palin with Racism Charge

Boycott The New York Times ^ | October 17, 2008 | Don Feder

When the left is desperate to smear someone, it inevitably resorts to accusations of racism.

In a recent editorial, “Politics of Attack,” The New York Times charged: “But Senator McCain and Governor Sarah Palin have been running one of the most appalling campaigns we can remember.” Every Republican presidential campaign is the “most appalling” The Times can remember.

Still, the paper insists that McCain and his running mate have moved beyond mere “distortions” of Obama’s record “into the dark territory of race-baiting and xenophobia.”

Question for the NYT:

What page did you report on the rape, torture and murder of the young white couple in Tennessee?

[dalebert]

just who is the real race baiter here.

[skeeter]

Wouldn't blow my nose with that rag.

Alot of readers agree with me, if the NYT's income statement is any indication.

[scottinoc]

Charges of racism, Medi-scare, all 4th quarter desperation tactics. Looking better for our side all the time.

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Doesn’t matter. Those who read the NYT are largely a self-selected audience who aren’t likely to ever vote Republican anyway. They are preaching to their own choir.

This from the newspaper that Jayson Blair treated like a prison ho.

Sorry there Pinch Sulzberger, but next time I want your opinion, I'll give it to you.

And yet for all of this, I'm sure the NYT couldn't come up with a single instance of McCain or Palin even hinting at race. Obama, OTOH, has busted out the card every time he thinks he can get away with it.

Remember when McCain was having an affair with the NYT??? Now the divorce is messy.

It may seem perverse, but I LOVE IT when the libs accuse McCain of racism. Fair minded voters don’t appreciate such empty propaganda and don’t appreciate the implication that anyone voting against Obama is racist. Its gonna backfire.

It's sad to see the NYTimes smear a patriot who spent years being tortured for their right to print such falsehoods about him.

[YOUGOTIT]

That is typical of Hitlers children who run the NYT or are they children of Stalin? No matter they are all anti-American left wing scum.

[SusaninOhio]

Proof? Recorded verifiable comments?

I don’t hear anything. Well, maybe crickets chirping.

[rumrunner]

Yes, the NY Times, that paragon of neutrality. That objective newspaper that would never ever slant a newstory to fit an agenda...

From their editorial about the campaign:

“appalling language”...”despicable politics”

Oh, wait, this was from their 2004 editorial about Bush.

So yeah, every time a Republican runs for President I guess they run a despicable and appalling campaign, which I venture to guess really means that the Republican is hitting the socialists where it hurts. Keep on keeping McCain. The McCain surge is unstoppable now. The media senses it.

Mac must be doing something right

[shadeaud]

The slimes isn’t called the slimes for no reason. Readership is down so. Much, my parrot is worried about where I am going to get liner for his cage

[Neoliberalnot]

This is not out of character, and really is, who the NYSlimes really is—a corrupt media outlet synonymous with a mouthpiece for the RAT party.

Dems smearing Bush for Byrd? He never heard of the people who did it or did anything to help the sick people who did that to James Bryd. New York Times how is that no Sports page working out.

What is your next cutback? Th so called conserative writers.
