I believe it was rhetorical. Of course, socialists and communists will rage about the accusation in public, particularly regarding the role of humiliation in "rightwing" media criticism. But in private, they will all agree on their goal for the President.
BTW, Bill Parcells gets so much credit as a coaching genius, but how about that Dick Vermeil? If he'd stayed in St. Louis, he would have at least two rings by now, and he may end up with a ring this year, though we'll have to see what Manning and McNair have to say about that. (Which would be sweetest of all for Trent Green. It would be pretty sweet for Priest Holmes, too. Last year, I saw a TV interview, where he observed wryly, that he wasn't even considered the best back in the State of Missouri!)
P.S. I got confused regarding the role of "humiliation." It's hard sometimes to distinguish between American lefties and "Palestinian" Islamofascists.
No matter what the eventual Democrat nominee for president says as he/she tries to run back to the center to capture independent voters, that candidate will always be beholden to his/her left-wing constituency which holds the views expressed by Pinch Sulzberger about Vietnam. Thus, a Democrat as president could never adequately defend the United States inside or outside our borders.
But you've got it all wrong. As the gay activist wrote in the Times, the military desperately NEEDS gays. He said that soldiers he'd spoken to said that not being able to come out, hurt their chances of developing intimate relationships within their units. Granted, he only cited one soldier, but surely you can understand how coming out would help a soldier to develop INTIMATE relationships, can't you?
Why should he meet with the people of Baghdad? He didn't meet with the people of China either. He wasn't going there for them, he was going there for the truth.
Shalom.
Gee, the lefties were never concerned about Saddam's avoidance of his own people. Their demand that Bush meet with the Iraqi people not only sounds like hypocrisy, but like yet another ruse to get the President killed.
Like Auschwitz and parts of the Berlin Wall, the Times can remain as a reminder to humanity of the dangers of ignorance, intolerance, and tyranny.
Did anyone ever aver otherwise?
Can anyone imagine them complaining about x42 for something similar? That sumb*tch held up air traffic at LAX for a haircut and they were silent...
I'd forgotten all about that haircut. It must've gottern lost amid all the felonies. Thanks for the reminder.

Well, outside of polite, New York cocktail parties, wishing the President dead is not the sort of thing one hears spoken out loud.
The people in NYC think just like the Times' editors, so why would they stop buying the paper? It isn't any accident that Hitlery and upChuckie are the Senators from NY. They were voted in by the majority of the voters because they accurately reflect the views of the majority of the voters there.
Unfortunately, they can too. They simply maintain that (sarcasm on)
- Bush is the idiot
- Rove and Wolfowitz are the brains and the powers behind the throne. (sarcasm off)
Of course, we know differently, but that's the way they think.
True. The funny thing is, the brilliance of Karl Rove is IMHO a myth. If you put any stock in Steve Sailer, Rove is a dangerous maroon. In any event, I trust the commander-in-chief's judgment much more than I do Rove's or Wolfowitz's.

Not so fast. HILLARY! is senator because Rudy Giuliani came down with prostate cancer. Giuliani also bears some of the blame, because he waited until it was too late for anyone else to have a chance in the election, before bowing out. He created a monster. (The NY media, of course, did everything they could for her. After some preliminary tough talk about her possibly wilting under the glare of the hardnall media, they turned every campaign stop into a love-in. But that was to be expected. Giuliani won the NY mayoralty twice - three times, if you subtract the Dead Dems for Dinkins votes in '89 - in the teeth of a hostile media.)
And lest I forget, after a quick start, Rick Lazio threw in the towel, against HILLARY! He had to campaign his butt off upstate, if he was to have any chance, but instead, he only showed up in his Long Island stronghold. HILLARY! outworked Lazio upstate, and people remembered that, come Election Day.
The NY State GOP also deserves no bouquests thrown its way. There's a young fellow named Benjamin who raised oodles of money for the party, and who wants to challenge Schumer. The kid has no name recognition, but is upbeat, has endless energy, and is willing to go on a political kamikaze mission. He's crisscrossed the state, going places where party celebrities can't be bothered to show up. If the party had any decency or political savvy (they're not always mutually exclusive), it would back him. It has nothing to lose, and a hungry kid like Benjamin could give Schumer some black eyes, expose him as vulnerable, and set him up to lose next time around, while developing its own new talent in time-tested fashion. But those fat cats just can't be bothered. And so, I might not be bothered to vote GOP next election, either (that is, unless Benjamin is on the ballot).
ABSOLUTELY FALSE - total BS!
Hitlery is senator BECAUSE SHE GOT THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST upChuck Schemer is likewise a senator BECAUSE HE GOT THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES CAST Now if the majority of New Yorkers didn't think that these totalitarian neo-Nazis would represent their viewpoints they would have voted for the other guy. I get so sick of excuses. Face the facts; most of your fellow citizens would have been cheerfully shouting "Sieg Heil" at the Nuremburg rallies had they been in Germany in the '30s.
Dinkins, Rangel, Owens, McCarthy, Nadler, Yeah right, Hitlery was elected because Giuliani had prostate cancer - what a crock!
For that matter Giuliani is no champion of liberty either. In this part of the country he would qualify as a liberal Democrat.
Look, you're wrong. It's that simple. You must be a stranger to New York politics, particularly Giuliani's three NYC mayoral campaigns.

Now, you're trying to have it both ways. "I'm right, and even if I'm wrong, I'm right."
Hayzeus! You NYC people are not only living in another dimension, but are too arrogant to admit reality. Try not to be insulted, because I don't mean this personally - in fact, I suspect you are NOT part of the majority, but when I lived there I noticed the same thing. Most people in NYC thought processes began and ended in NYC. They had the ability to totally deny reality. I remember having discussion vis a vie government, cops, taxes, gun control, etc. Facts and reality made no impression. I was told I was wrong to question their beliefs. No logic was given just as you give no logicical argument. It's just that my views were immediately dismissed as wrong, and I wasn't even as conservative then as I am now.
Just exactly what about my statement that Hitlery won because she got the majority of the votes do you disagree with? Let's go through the steps logically and clearly, and you tell me where it is is that NYC logic differs from the Aristotilian kind.
Now, you're trying to have it both ways
Nope not at all - part of the same thing that your lack of experience outside the Marxist environs of NYC makes it hard for you to see. The entire political spectrum of "conservative" to socialist in NY (and NJ, MA, CT, MD, RI, DC and DE too for that matter) is much farther to the left than in the real parts of the country. Take my word for it. You obviously haven't seen a real conservative politician, and living in NYC you never will. Yet still New Yorkers prefer the most left wing of the the left.
I further notice that you ignore my additional examples of how New Yorkers vote for the neo-Nazi freedom haters time after time. UpChuckie Schemer. Did he get elected because Giuliani had prostate cancer. Did Ranger, McCarthy, Owens, Nadler, etc. get elected because there was some flaw in their opponent's advertising campaign? No of course not. They were elected because the majority of New Yorkers are hard core envious cowardly socialists (and socialists are envious and cowardly by definition) who are afraid of freedom and envious of those of us who still have a little freedom left.
