Luxury-Liner Liberals: 'Nation' Magazine Hawks Its Cushy Cruise
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Sure, your heart is in that lovely liberal place. Even so, you'd like to get away from the "Occupy" hoi-poloi soiling the streets. No problem! Just join the luxury-liner liberals of The Nation magazine on their upcoming cruise--assuming you have up several thousand bucks [alcohol not included] for you and the lefty you love to share a cabin!

Was watching MSNBC last night, when up popped a Nation commercial. After the standard stuff ragging on the "toxic nonsense from the right," suddenly a Caribbean cruise commercial broke out. Yes, you can sail with Katrina vanden Heuvel, Van Jones and other leftist luminaries aboard a luxury Holland America liner!

Video and more luxury details here!

This is too much fun! Far-left Nation magazine promoting a luxury cruise with its authors. 1%er ping to Today show list.

I feel sorry for the other passengers who are not part of that “elite” group. I’d probably jump overboard!

Do the Viking Kitties have any U Boats or mines in the water on the course they will be sailing?

I was planning on taking a cruise on HA but instead, another line will get my money. It’s not because of the liberal talking heads and lefties, it’s because of Van Jones. The man is a Communist who is advocating for civil unrest. Because of this, I’ll be asking all the other cruisers I know to please consider this before giving HA their business.

The featured guests are happy to give a few talks in exchange for a free cruise.

I believe the National Review has a similar sort of thing, probably using the same cruise line. They scrub the ships thoroughly in between!

I know that old rustbucket in the photo is not the Titanic but there is a strong resemblance as though it was built about the same time. Is it T’s sister the Olympic, which survived WW1 but not the Great Depression and was broken up for scrap in the 1930’s?

Anyway, affluent lefties show their rank hypocrisy once again as they avail themselves of luxuries which only the capitalism they hate can make possible.

“Filthy capitalist dollars? I thought you guys never touch the stuff!”

Rosie o’Donnell for her lesbian family cruises and I think even Gordon Liddy used to have something similar. It’s all the same business model. A sponsor books from the ship company a block of rooms at a wholesale discount, then resells the reservations to the booking passengers. There is apparently good money in this if you can hook enough people.

I think I’d rather take the Antarctic cruise.

Yes, I believe it was the RMS Olympic shortly before it was scraped, somtime in the thirties.
