NYT: Already Sniping New 'Conservative' French President Posted by Warner Todd Huston on May 6, 2007 - 17:41.
The New York Times didn't even wait for the French election results to become general knowledge before they began their sniping of the new "Conservative" French president, Nicolas Sarkozy. In what is supposed to represent an analysis of his election, the Times spends more time in naked name calling than substance.
Let's review some of the harsh words, slights and names the Greylady hurls at the new president elect.
* Arrogant, brutal, an authoritarian demagogue... * ...one of the most polarizing figures to move into Élysée Palace in the postwar era... * He has always been nakedly ambitious, pragmatic and calculating and not beyond betrayal to reach his goals. * Mr. Sarkozy is a tad shorter than Napoleon was. His profile is remarkably similar to that of Louis XIV. * Mr. Sarkozy’s brash manner and strong oratory style... * Many people regarded the anticrime campaign as a calculated effort to win support from France’s far right in anticipation of his presidential bid. * Mr. Sarkozy’s personal life has been less successful than his public one...
Man, it seems impossible that such an ogre could have anyone who would like him enough to vote for him... well, if you'd listen to the New York Times, anyway.
And what is the title of their "analysis" piece?
Nicolas Sarkozy: Winning the Chance to Prove His Critics Wrong
Only the New York Times can read an overwhelming election and decide that the winner has to prove people wrong!
I suppose it is beyond the New York Times' ability to understand that Sarkozy just might want to lead his country in the style in which he presented himself to WIN the election!
No way! He has to change himself now that he has won... just to satisfy the Times.
Even more ridiculously, the Times never found space to mention that Sarkozy has insisted that an important policy for his new administration would be to attempt to heal the rift his predecessors have created between France and the USA and that France needs to become closer to the US. Do we have to wonder why that is?
One thing about this report is good though. It shows that the Times is just as wrong about politics in the rest of the world as they are about US politics!
They get points for consistency, at least.
Whistling througth the graveyard?
Proving Socialists wrong? How about we just turn to the history books?
L0L Yup! some are claiming that Royay is still very cose in the numbers and that the polls are open for another hour. L0L

The New York Slimes realizes that this makes next year’s election a lot more difficult for the ‘Rats to win.
They know that it will be impossible to make the claim next year that it’s the “worst economy since Hoover” because nobody will buy it.
That leaves “American foreign policy is a failure because our allies don’t support us.” And that is now over, even with Blair retired and the probable British withdrawal of troops, the British are unlikely to abandon us. Germany and now France have both elected pro-American conservative leaders — there is no way to say the world hates us when Britain, German and France are not criticizing us.
Sure they can. Socialists rioting in the streets IS the NYTimes idea of a “civilized response” when they lose elections.
1968 is more than an idea to them. It is a way of life.

Both the NYT and “the French looking” John Cary are saddened.
The DimoTards think that there are no consequences
to their “Anything Goes” immorality beyond the
disdain of people who live morally.
Thwey think that if the throw tantrums long and loud
enough...even the Laws of Nature, will accomodate
them, without consequences.
They think that “morals”, are just made up
rules by uptight authortarians, and have
no concept of the fact that morals arwe hard
learned lessons, that mankind has learned by
following destructive paths, and learning
from their examples.
Democrats may think they can laugh in the
face of morals, but whaty they do, is set
in motion, series of events that will bring destruction
down upon them...even if every Repub/conservative
were to disappear tommorrow.....in fact that will only
accelerate the miseery that will befall these
arrogant “If it feels good, do it!” degenerates.
