The latest edition of the New York Timess Sunday magazine gave conservatives a rare opportunity to repurpose Times Executive Editor Bill Keller as a pinata, though the papers intent may have been to make its conservative critics look irrational. Readers responded bluntly to Kellers trashing of Sarah Palin in his column for the June 19 issue, in which he claimed most journalists would recoil in horror from the idea of a Palin presidency.
The Times printed a full page of letters, a dozen in all, from insulting Keller critics and Palin sympathizers. A few were incisive:
You write that only 21 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Sarah Palin. If you had the press constantly attacking you and putting you under the magnifying glass and all that was reported was negative press, perhaps no one would find favor with you, either. Had your fellow media colleagues given Barack Obama the same treatment as you have given Mrs. Palin, no one would care for him either.
Others were more, um, direct:
Are all you liberal pseudo-elite journalists really this stupid? Or have you all just deluded yourselves into thinking the American people are the stupid ones?

My sister still coughs up $6.00 every Sun. for that mullet wrapper just so she can do the crossword.
1 Across...6 letter word for Liberal.
Advise you sister to save the six bucks and either go on line for crosswords, buy a book in the grocery or in my favorite place - THE DOLLAR STORE! She would be much happier and could buy starbucks instead,
“You write that only 21 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Sarah Palin”
that’s about 3times the amount that have a favorable view of the NYSlimes...
She's paying 6 bucks a week just to work one crossword? The Omnibus is about 14 bucks for TWO HUNDRED of the Times' Sunday puzzles. It's published by St. Martin's Griffin.
She'll get months of great Sunday puzzles all in one book.
I've been purchasing the Omnibus editions for years. When one book is finished, another new edition is on my book store shelf. Or I order on line and the book is in my mailbox within days.
The puzzles range from medium to very difficult....and I love working them. They are challenging......plus they're a serene mental escape from the political and cultural wars that occupy our attention every day.
Tell your sister about this wonderful crossword bargain. When anyone gives the New York Slimes $6 every week, it's mindless feeding the hand that bites us.

What a great idea. I buy the pocketbook editions for my mom all the time. Sometimes she even saves one for me to do ;-)
Keller may be a leftist, elitist, communist, socialist, but other than that I bet he just a swell, all-around great guy. :-) I bet he loves his daughter even though she thinks Sarah Palin is “cool”.

What a child you are to your mom:)
Commie?

Mullet?
Liberals are too stupid to understand the effects of their hatred. The constant liberal drumbeat of humiliation and contempt for conservatives takes a toll... Hitler did the same to Jews in pre-war Germany... he knew the effects of "hate propaganda". I guess Keller lacks the wit to see the obvious - that he's doing the same.

I'm sure his _intentions_ are good, at least according to him - and that's all we're ever supposed to judge leftists on.
Don't you realize how IDEALIC the world would be under total communist domination?
/(do I really need it?)
Libs will always hate us because we “stink”.

Methinks Keller holds Palin in special contempt-—he and his wife were told their unborn child was Mongoloid-—they chose death and aborted it.
Palin chose to give life.
"asshole" is 7 letters
Mom always did like me best ;)

Me too! What a coincidence:)
He failed to put quotation marks around your sentence in his comment...and I was thrown off.
I dare not chide the Godfather for this omission as I'm afraid he'll put a contract out on me, yikes!
