OKits time to just come out and say it. Liberals must be desperate, becausewith regard to the Ground Zero mosque (as with so many other past cultural issues)Barack Obama has sided against the American peopleagain. How do I know this to be true? Well, lets just look at the steady stream of hysterical op-eds coming out of The New York Times slandering the American people as racist, Islamaphobic, unpatriotic dumb-dumbs. (Yes, I know, liberals must be pretty desperate to play the patriotism cardI thought they thought that patriotism was gauche.)
For instance, last weekend, TV entertainer, Dick Cavett, wrote a column titled, Real Americans, Please Stand Up. (Did you get that? If you disagree with him about the Ground Zero mosque, you arent a real American.) In this op-ed, Cavett goes on to lament how ashamed of us he is, and he even goes so far as to write the following insanity
As a war kid, I also heard an uncle of mine endorse a sentiment attributed to our Admiral Bull Halsey: If I met a pregnant Japanese woman, Id kick her in the belly.
So now, not only am I not a real American, but I want to kick pregnant Japanese women in the belly.
Oh, but Mr. Cavett is not alone in his inane ramblings. On Sunday, theater critic, Frank Rich, wrote a column titled, How Fox Betrayed Petraeus, and on Monday cultural writer, Nicholas Kristof, wrote a column titled, Taking bin Ladens Side.

LOL@ the cone of shame (COS)
How about the “cone of silence” instead?
Cavett used to bend over backwards to show how counterculture hip he was.
I thought he was dead.
In any case, who gives a crap what he thinks? His opinion is worth no more than anyone else’s.
Easy, cowardly targets like weak, coastal, self-hating, white liberals will be the first to be slaughtered by the Jihadists anyway.
I wish! The only problem with that is it never worked.
How does the NYT stay in business when I’m always reading it’s losing money for years now?
I hang on each and every word from the mouth of a drama critic.
Gimme a break, here..... this is an open letter all these morons who continue to patronize the MSM and it’s “Alphabet” affiliates..... nobody is holding a gun to their heads.......don’t they have the self-discipline to turn the “news” off” or not pick up a copy of the “Slimes”, or a weekly “news” magazine....especially when they already know the stuff could never be mistaken for “news”.....If we normal, average everyday God-fearing citizens offend the morons sensibilities, then that’s “Tuff Tittie”......get over it......the real world is still a great place to live....in spite of them and theirs.
When did they take it off?
The Cone of Silence is probably in repairs.
The hysteria on the left is becoming more noticeable because they've lost control of the 'news' and can no longer effectively silence opposition voices. Walter Cronkite is dead and his kind of power to control what Americans see and hear is long gone, too. Between Fox News (and it's huge ratings), conservative talk radio and the internet, aided by conservative news magazines and the growing wave of revulsion with Obama's economy-killing policies as well as disgust with an arrogant and corrupt congress, liberals are the ones being marginalized - by the American people. No wonder the left is reduced to name-calling blather from people who's opinion means nothing to 99% of Americans i.e. Dick Cavett, Frank Rich. The question remains, when the left bleat, does anyone really care anymore?
