New York Times Editor: Ann Romney 'Slipped The Knife' Into President Obama
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/29/2012 6:27:32 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

TAMPA, Florida | August 29, 2012: To Republicans in the RNC convention hall last night, and surely to the majority of Americans watching at home, regardless of their politics, Ann Romney came across as a warm, kind and caring woman.

But the editors of the New York Times occupy a very different universe. In a nasty piece of work this morning, editorial page editor Andrew Rosenthal painted an ugly picture of Ann Romney. Using the most violent of metaphors, Rosenthal saw a woman who, of all things, had "slipped a knife into President Obama." More after the jump.

More “civility” from the left.


Juan Williams was very civil, he referred to AR as a “corporate wife”.

At first, I saw some giddiness, and some girlish laughter that I wasn’t sure I liked. Then, as the speech went on, I realized her femininity was becoming, refreshing, apropriate, and exciting to see on that stage.

My thoughts exactly.

In very short order, I liked this woman.

It’s a dog-whistle.

A Republican speaks and the muts bark at her.

"I think they call those guys a sheath."

Wait one minute here. I was just making a joke. Are you saying there are homos who actually do this????

I was shocked when I first learned of fisting and gerbils, now this?

Ann hit a home run right there.


Mrs. America vs. Mrs. Marxist

AMEN, wayoverontheright!

I, too, followed your progression of supporting candidates. My only hope was that we could elect enough conservative Congressmen/Senators to hold Mitt's feet to the fire.

I thought Ann Romney's speech was brilliant on so many levels. She managed to show that the Romney's were "real" - as real as people of their socioeconomic class can be. It was refreshing to see her say that the first apartment times were "the best".

She managed to relate to women on so many levels - caring for your children, your parents, picking up and moving to support your husband and having to make a new life for yourself and your family, starting a new business - not knowing if it was ever going to succeed, working harder and moving on because that's what you do, living the American Dream - "being successful beyond their dreams". (How did we get to the point where doing what Bain did is something to be ashamed of?) She reminded us of what our parents/grandparents struggled to give us, their conviction that in this country, hard work would be rewarded. I LOVED that she said, "As a mom of five boys, do we want to raise our children to be afraid of success? Do we send our children out in the world with the advice, “Try to do... okay?”

She appealed to the best in us, not the worst. She was unashamed of the success that risk and hard work brings. She actually gave us "hope", not just as a slogan, but to the great nation that we can once again become. While I'm sure the militant feminists were not impressed, I think middle America was.

As to the knife comment, I take it as a compliment. It was delivered with beauty, grace and a smile too!!!

Assume that she did.

Why is it that liberals are always so outraged when conservatives play by their rules?

I honestly don’t even remember her mentioning 0bama by name.

That made the speech even more devastating.

By saying "he won't fail", everyone listening understands the contrast with the failed Obama presidency.

By pointing out that Mitt and his business partners "built" a successful company, everyone listening thinks of Obama's Marxist-inspired "you didn't build that" speech.

He’s very much got the “I’m living in my Mom’s basement” look about him.

Oh, yes! Nice pickup. Very, very powerful.

Perhaps this is why the NYT is saying this morning, that Ann Romney "slipped the knife" to the Obama campaign?

Funny you should say that. I watched the speech and had the same reaction. The all caps for REAL was spot on. She definitely used an emphatic inflection when she said the word and her eyes sharpened slightly. I said to my wife: “I could be reading in to things, but I think that was directed at the phony marriage between the faygala and the wookie.

“Slipped the knife”? The poor Obamabots, they’re so sensitive! Everything their opposition does is wrong. It’s amazing they can still keep up with their labors of telling the rest of us what to do!
