>>>>>This article doesn't really constitute a hit piece ...

If you are going to editorialize an article, you should include snippets or break lines to indicate you've taken the original published content of the piece and posted sections of it out of context. Otherwise, folks will see this as an effort by you to make it into a hit piece on Fred.

Instead of running down a good conservative like Fred with the same old crapola that rehashes the same tired and worn details. Why not post a thread that supports your guy, Duncan Hunter.

We all know Fred`s political mentor was the moderate Republican, Howard Baker. And we all should remember that Baker served as Reagan's Chief of Staff. If Baker was good enough to advise Reagan during the Iran-Contra Affair, he's good enough to advise Fred. We also know that Fred was the GOP`s Chief Watergate Legal Council. Fred was also a lobbyist and an actor. Fred also supported CFR. A mistake he's partially renounced --- the issue ad provision or the so-called, anti-free speech provision. The same provision that was shot down by the SCOTUS. Fred did vote to convict Clinton on one of two charges. The fact remains, it takes 67 votes to convict a POTUS on an indictment coming from the House. The votes were 50/50 on the obstruction of justice charge --- with Fred voting for it --- and 45/55 on the perjury charge.

I know you don't like Fred, but these endless efforts to undermine Fred`s campaign aren't working. They're nothing more than an act of desperation on the part of FR`s Duncanista contingent.

Well, there is a ... at the only break in the article to indicate an edit. And the stuff I included has as much postive information about him (e.g. the ACU rating) as anything else in the article.

What running down? Geez. I just posted a fairly neutral article (especially for the NYT) in a fairly neutral manner. If there was something in it to run FDT down with, I might have had something to say, but there wasn't. So I just posted the article which I thought it might be of general FR interest. And anyway, I support Romney, not DH (You must be thinking of pissant).
