For Slandering Americans,The New York Times Deserves to Wear the Cone of Shame

OK–it’s time to just come out and say it. Liberals must be desperate, because–with regard to the Ground Zero mosque (as with so many other past cultural issues)–Barack Obama has sided against the American people–again. How do I know this to be true? Well, let’s 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 card–I 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 aren’t 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, I’d 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 Laden’s Side.

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.

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.

Is anyone really surprised that the left, following Obama's lead, are railing against those who oppose the building of a triumphal mega-mosque hard by the site of the most deadly attack on America in over 220 years? C'mon! This is who leftists are - and this what they do! They always take up the mantle of anything anti-American then they demonize and attempt to marginalize anyone that opposes them. They'll use any slander, any lie to accomplish their goal of silencing opposition to whatever they support. This is not a new strategy for the political left. Exhibit A: the continuing attacks from the left on Sarah Palin, now entering their third year.

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?
