McCain Camp Compares Times Editorial Board to 'the Average Daily Kos Diarist'
New York Observer ^ | August 1, 2008 | Jason Horowitz

Posted on 08/01/2008 11:48:27 AM PDT by Kleebo151

McCain spokesman Michael Goldfarb just sent out this statement, attacking the Times as hysterically pro-Obama:

"If the shareholders of the New York Times ever wonder why the paper's ad revenue is plummeting and its share price tanking, they need look no further than the hysterical reaction of the paper's editors to any slight, real or imagined, against their preferred candidate. This campaign has never engaged in 'racially tinged attacks,' and the Obama campaign conceded as much yesterday in a statement clarifying that "Barack Obama in no way believes that the McCain campaign is using race as an issue."

That the Times made this allegation in a blog post rather than running it on the editorial page indicates that they either knew the charge was bogus or they didn't have the nerve to make their case in full view of the public. But in their new role as bloggers, the paper's editors seem to have all the intelligence and reason of the average Daily Kos diarist sitting at home in his mother's basement and ranting into the ether between games of dungeons and dragons. They also have about as much care for the facts--the "board" has already been forced to append a correction."

The future depends on McCain winning the Whitehouse.

God, I hope not.

If I truly believed my future was in the hands of John McCain, I might just walk outside carrying a pistol and blow my brains out.

You know, I remember a reporter trying to get Bush to diss a major MSM Outlet during an election, and Bush basically said he’s not dumb enough to get drawn into that.

I have to admit, for McCain to take the Times on frontally, during an election, shows the man’s got chutzpah.

I think they woke up. Take a look at their latest ad about the “Devine One”.

"...The future depends on McCain winning the Whitehouse..."

Allow me to rephrase:

The future depends on OBAMA NOT WINING THE WHITEHOUSE!

Do you get it now?

PINCH HAPPENS 24/7 AT THE NY SLIMES!

Below is a happy Sulzy before the 2004 elections, and before Pinch started the Slimes on its death roll into the liberal cesspool of hell.

Observe Pinch happening to the stock value of the Slimes!

Hey Sulzy, Pinch happens to left wing maggot infested liberals in today's world serving out the DNC propaganda posing as news.

Hey Johnny Mac’s staff is coming out with some very creative work. They’re bypassing sarcasm and going into Swiftian satire.

Indeed!

I have been disgusted with McCain thus far, but if the non-PC, non apologetic, call-it-like-it-is language (I like to call it "meaningful language") continues I may actually feel better about voting for him.

Now, if he'll really ACT the way he's been TALKING this week...

*not holding breath*

I couldn’t disagree more. This is the kind of candidate I’ve been waiting for, someone who’s willing to give the lying MSM a kick in the seat.

“This was to be expected, coming from the paper that once sxuggested without evidence that John McCain had screwed a female lobbyist, and that rejected his Op-Ed on Iraq in recent days. “

McCain thought it was pretty great when the NY Times endorsed him during the republican primary......
