[NYC Republican]

The SLIMES is revving in overdrive. DISGRACEFUL doesn't even begin to convey what I'm feeling. They usually throw us a bone with at least one moderate or conservative piece, I've never seen this much vitriol directed at a President in my life. WHAT A DISGRACE!!!

Apologies that the links don't go directly there. Couldn't figure that one out.

[MegaSilver]

They're right. This IS like Vietnam.

[get'emall]

Don't buy it. Don't read it if it's free. Don't visit their website.

Shun them.

Repeat same strategy simultaneously with CBS, ABC, NBC... well, you get the idea.

[TexasGreg]

What the Press-wing of the DNC does is never a surprise to me. I expect nothing lower from the NYC. Thankfully, most people know that this is just biased political posturing. They are determined to turn this into fuel for the November Election. I doubt it.

Let's see ... right now it's this issue. I guess there are no Anti-Bush books slated to come out this week. Next week it'll be something else.

"NY Times Fires All Cylinders"

Yeah - all FOUR cylinders.

[BigSkyFreeper]

First it was Condi, then Tenet, and now they're targeting Rummy. It's all coordinated, just like this Iraqi prisoner scandal that had been out there in the public domain since January 16th. To me, it seems that CBS lost whatever journalistic integrity they thought they had by releasing photos they were told not to release. Rummy to me seems shocked at the sight of the photos as well as the violation of trust from a media organ.

[Billthedrill]

I'm getting the sense that the full-court press the media are putting on isn't helping their candidate much. In fact, if Kerry's numbers continue to decline I'll start to think that this stridency may be a contributing factor.

[BigSkyFreeper]

CBS not only undermined the safety of our troops, but undermined an ONGOING investigation, not a completed investigation, but an ONGOING one, by tampering with evidence they weren't supposed to be in possession of.

NY Times slogan: "All the Liberal Propaganda that's Unfit to Print."

[ken5050]

This is NOT news...it's to be expected..

[Gator113]

I can't tell anyone what I am thinking, because most of it is against the law!

[Southack]

What you are seeing is liberal desperation. Since the Democrats have no positive policy ideas to promote for America, they know that their only hope of winning is if they find some giant scandal to bring President Bush down.

And it won't work. Senator Kerry says that he committed war crimes, so the public isn't going to pick him to solve simple prison abuse charges (even if this issue was the top story of the year, which it isn't).

Seven anti-Bush editorials in one day?! The NY Times could run 70 such hit pieces and it wouldn't impact the result of Election 2004.

It will, however, further diminish their national clout.

[The Wizard]

my puppy doesn't mind.....he's the only one who uses the times

[WhiteGuy]

HARD BALL politics in an election year,

go figure,

Let's see what the gop is made of........................

will they launch an offensive or play prevent - D????

Six months to go........................

[BJungNan]

NYT should be banned on FR same as DU is. They are one in the same. Why should its treatment be any different.

[RetiredArmy]

The NY SLimes is nothing but a communist newspaper, written and edited by communist.

The American POW Plaintiffs fell into Iraqi hands on varying dates during the conflict but beginning as early as January 17, 1991. All such Plaintiffs were brutally tortured by officials of the Republic of Iraq during their captivity. Treatment while in the hands of Iraqi intelligence personnel was barbarous. As will subsequently be specified in this Complaint, the torture varied for each of the POW Plaintiffs, but the overall torture of American POWs by officials of the Republic of Iraq included severe beatings with pistols and rifles, weighted rubber hoses, truncheons, blackjacks, fists, belts, metal pipes, batons, and sticks, including an axe handle. It further included mock executions; threatened castration; threatened amputation of fingers and other dismemberment; threatened death; threats to send their body parts to their families in the United States; systematic starvation; systematic exposure to freezing cold; deprivation of medical care; purposeful aggravation of existing injuries; electrical shock with a device wrapped around a POW’s head; injection of a mind altering substance; kicking, including with steel-toed boots; cupped hand blows to the ears; beating with a mallet on the knees; handcuffs and restraints so tight as to cut off circulation, damage nerves, and cause the hands to swell and turn purple; use of cattle prods and stun guns; being knocked unconscious, sometimes repeatedly; blows to the legs and neck with a heavy pendulum-like object; whipping with a cat-o’-nine-tails; confinement in darkness; confinement in filthy conditions exposing them to contagion and infection; burning with cigarettes and heated spoons; being led blindfolded into walls and stairwells; being urinated and spat upon; mental suffering about the agony that their families must be enduring when the POWs were not permitted by the Iraqi authorities to inform their families that they were alive; living in constant fear of death and torture, a climate intended to create humiliation and degradation; and other atrocities causing great suffering and serious injury in clear violation of the internationally accepted obligations of the Government of Iraq.

Injuries and illnesses sustained during this torture by American POWs generally included a fractured skull, broken bones, including a broken leg and broken vertebrae, broken tibia, broken facial structure, burns, torn muscles, chipped teeth, broken noses, a dislocated jaw, a dislocated shoulder, a torn rotator cuff, perforated eardrums, injuries to knees so severe as to cause lameness, painful joints, injury to kidneys, numbness and nerve damage, hearing impairment, impairment of the sense of smell, infections including eye infection, dysentery, nausea, severe weight loss, massive bruises (in one case so severe and extensive that the bruising was described "as if the body had been dipped in indigo ink"), and other injuries. In at least one case, a POW Plaintiff was so severely starved he ate the scabs off his own body. Pain and suffering of the POWs during this torture and their mental suffering and anguish resulting during their period of confinement by Iraq were intense and extreme. The effects of this brutal treatment by Defendants have continued in years since.

What do people expect. The whole liberal cabal has been pounding and pounding for months - and the Presidents numbers only improve. I guess the libs figured they weren't being tough enough.

Actually .. this over the top stuff IS TURNING OFF PEOPLE.

Let them continue!

[hershey]

Let's face it, the RATS are desperate. To say that Kerry is an inept candidate is putting it mildly. He's a walking disaster, with only his wife's money to recommend him. Their only hope is to get Hill on the ticket as VP and continually bash Bush from now until Nov. so that's what they're doing.

[Nick Danger]

I think it's gotten to the point now where bashing them is useful only as a form of entertainment. It's not like they have much influence.

If the media were really shaping opinion in this country, we would not have a Republican in the White House, Republican majorities in both houses of Congress, and a majority of Governorships in GOP hands. Obviously, they hate every minute of that.

It's actually kind of fun to watch. The more it becomes obvious that no one pays attention to them anymore, the more partisan and shrill their rhetoric becomes. It's like watching the police try to get one of those acreaming psychotics into the back of the cruiser. The closer they get to closing the door on him, the harder he kicks and the louder he yells. He's trying to save people from the evil space aliens, but they just won't listen.

I see the grey old lady is having another one of her frequent bouts of journalistic incontinence.
