NYTimes explains why unemployed masses are unseen
New York Times ^ | July, 9, 2011 | Catherine Rampell

Posted on 07/14/2011 1:07:33 PM PDT by defendit

AKA "Somehow, the Unemployed Became Invisible"

Here's the key paragraph:

"Why populist anger over the poor economy is leaning right, rather than left this time around is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps it is because Democrats, traditional friends of labor, control the White House and the Senate."

The real mystery is why the people are still pushing for destructive and disasterous economic policies that keep resulting in the same consequences: socialism, mediocrity, unemployment, poverty.

“Perhaps it is because Democrats, traditional friends of labor, control the White House and the Senate. “

Its like watching liberals learn the truth one gang beating at a time in slow motion.

Well, in a true economic cycle, you eventually pass through complete and utter destruction. So, as this get worse, logic would dictate that irrational people would cling to the very ideas that would make the situation worse, NOT better.

The NYT evidently has some pretty low standards for their reporters.

Starting in the 30s (remember all those lies about the Soviet Union)?

Liberalism - when you have absolutely, positively no creative talent - except perhaps for the “arts”.

...said some sychophant at the New York Times, without a trace of irony.

IF THERE IS ANY "ANGER" DIRECTED AT THE RIGHT IT IS SOLELY BECAUSE OF THE OBAMEDIA--LIKE THE NYT!!!!

Liberals have systematically cultivated a permanent class of indigent and able-bodied wards of the state who refuse to EARN a living. They are outraged that Conservatives STILL believe paying our own way and being responsible for ourselves is essential to honor and character.
Liberal losers hate and do not comprehend money so we should too????

“It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.” Albert Camus

You can tell liberals are getting frustrated. Bush bashing and the ideology BS is starting to fade away. As their hope and change guy has been displayed as a dismal failure, their pathetic defense for him is changing to comments like:
“They all do it.”
“It would be worse if.....”
“He needs more time to.....”

Occasionally they will attempt a weak attempt of rebuttal by parroting some Obama lie like “jobs created” but they have to be embarrassed by the factual jobs lost and higher unemployment rate.

Except when liberals see they are wrong, they dont change their views and try to get it right, they project on the other side, try to hide the facts, and try to destroy their opposition. If that doesnt work they would tear down the whole society rather than admit error (see Wisconsin)

If this were a Republican Administration, sob stories about the unemployed would be non-stop. The only reason they seem “invisible” for folks at the Times is because the media has tried to cover it up because they know it makes Obama’s incompetence look even worse.

After visiting dozens upon dozens of income properties I can tell you why.

Because they are all sitting on their bottoms in front of their wide screen tv drinking beer and growing marijuana in the closet.

You forgot to mention this one: "in front of the computer screen spending half their day on Facebook" which I will, by the way, post a copy of this thread on, in my notes section there.

I'de like to share the comments from this thread with my friends, some of which are starting to open their eyes about the hopeless socialist cabal that is the radical moonbat led organization that is the Democrat-ick party.. I don't think that the NYTimes has even half the readership of the average citizen watchdog nowadays.

I’ve been watching this bimbo on C-SPAN today. She’s so stupid, I think we’ll be hearing a lot from her from now on. I wonder if she’s been on The View yet. If not, I have to wonder what’s taking so long. She’s ripe.
