Can we just switch the names of Saddam and Stalin and say the same thing about the NY Times today?
It's about time. I have often been accused of being an anti-semite when I critically mention the Red Diaper Babies, whose parents and themselves were apologists at best and spies at worst, for Stalin and communism. Walter Duranty was an American of Irish descent. So am I. However, I loath Duranty for being a commie stooge, as much as I loath the Rosenbergs for being commie spies.
The international explosion of social unrest in many parts of the world, during the 1960's, was Soviet inspired, Northern Ireland being one of them. Jerry Adams, of Sinn Fean, is as "Red" as they come and as demented as Che` Guevera. But people like Duranty are worse. For their part, they enable the thugs that accompany any communist movement to commit their terror wholesale, rather than a murder at a time. I hope The NYT sees the witting on the historical wall (yeah, I know) and returns Duranty's Pulitzer. Walter Duranty was nothing more than a "Shanty-Irish" commie and deserves to be recognized as a pariah for the traitor to America, his ancestry and humanity that he was.
