AP and Yahoo Slander Justice Scalia
AP on Yahoo News ^

Posted on 06/23/2005 10:21:34 AM PDT by Yossarian

Take a look at the picture used in AP's coverage of the Supreme Court Seizure ruling:



Of course, Justice Scalia voted against this horrible ruling, but would you get that at first glimpse? Instead, the AP went and dug up an almost two-year old picture to propagandize that Antoin Scalia is slobbering at the thought of seizing your dear home.

More of the same from the Lame Stream Media. If you care to tell them what you think, AP's feedback address is: feedback@ap.org .

(Better yet, I should just stop reading the AP Yahoo webpage....)

How embarrasing - my fingers slipped, and I misspelled the good Justice's name!

That last line should read:

Instead, the AP went and dug up an almost two-year old picture to propagandize that Antonin Scalia is slobbering at the thought of seizing your dear home.

(Besides, it bears repeating....scumbucket MSM.....)

O'Connor -- she wrote the main dissent. It is said to be "scathing".

First, there is no mention of Scalia in the article that I could see. Why have this picture at all?

What I found rather disheartening is that the author apparently regards property rights as a 'conservative principle', which suggests those who do not identify themselves as 'conservative' do not respect property rights. Sounds like socialism to me.

They were joined by Reagan appointee Justice Anthony Kennedy in rejecting the conservative principle of individual property rights.

"Ginsburg"!?! Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg voted FOR seizure. It was Scalia, Thomas, O'Conner, and Rehnquist who dissented (i.e. stuck up for property rights).

Worse is the ruling itself. Many people have never dealt with their town or county government and don't realize they view the citizen as a problem to be overcome by any and all means available. Giving them new weapons like this against John Q is really bad. But then the same court will sit there worrying about the rights of a heinous murderer.

Whoops-my error-I meant O'Connor-I was actually talking about Ginsburg with an office mate and made a typo.

Just mailed them and asked them to take the face of Scalia off the article and put on one of the 5 that supported taking private property from citizens.

Thanks for posting the phone number. I'm glad I captured the web page, so even if they change the picture, it is clear just where their honesty lies. (Pun intended.)

Just got off the phone. The person who answered was very rude, and said do you want to make a comment or not? I wound up talking to a machine.
