While the New York Times has proven itself to be selective in it's reporting all the details about the war in Iraq, it seems to have no problem running attack ads on President Bush in regards to the same. As Bill O'Reilly reported on FOX News tonight, World Can't Wait's "next phase of the battle to drive out the Bush regime by placing a full page ad in the NY Times" ran on page A17 in the Times today
The ad along with coordinated fliers make radical claims including the following:
"Your government, on the basis of outrageous lies, is waging a murderous and utterly illegitimate war in Iraq...
"Your government is moving each day closer to a theocracy, where a narrow and hateful brand of Christian fundamentalism will rule...
"People look at all this and think of Hitler — and they are right to do so. (Excerpt)

On the other hand, they sold a full page ad..............
I'll bet if you wanted to buy a full page ad with the opposite point of view...........
They'd take your money.
The literary filth arm of the socialist Thugocrat party. Just another example of how freedoms in this country are ABUSED by those that do not respect this country and what it stands for.
Indeed. And in the words of General Honore, they are definitely stuck on stupid.
Have you noticed that NY Slimes, the Washington Post and the rest of the liberal leftist extremists demoncRATs are on a one-way track to "decry Bush"? Just read over the weekend that Mickey Mouse Michael Moore is writing a book about the Bush Admin. The Bush Admin and the pubbies are doing a great job to make these goofballs cry and whine since November 2000.
sure they would, then edit the ad to fit their agenda..and these liberal rags wonder why the masses are cancelling subscriptions in favor of online news services and FoxNews..
Some day it's going to be deemed important for the administration and Congressional Republicans to stand up to the left's lie that the war was based on a lie.
Until then, this crap is going to go on.
Just a few comments about how Iraq had a pre existing relationship with Al Qaeda going back to the 90's would be helpful.

And taking on the WMD issue would be relatively easy. Yes, the left would carp, but the rest of the people who are not moonbats would take notice and deem the leftists even more irrelevant.
Charles Duelfer said he can't rule out the possibility that Iraq's WMD were secretly shipped to Syria before 3/03 citing sufficient credible evidence that the WMD were moved.
Duelfer made the findings in an addendum to his final report last year.
It was well known that Syria was a major conduit for obtaining UN-banned materials for Iraq. Several senior US officials have seen intelligence which shows it is likely that Iraq's WMD went to Syria.
Retired Marine Lt. Gen. Michael DeLong, the dputy commander of CentCom, wrote in his book "Inside CentCom" that intelligence reports pointed to WMD movement into Syria.
John Shaw, then the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, told The Times in October 2004 that Russian special forces and intelligence troops worked with Saddam's intel services to move WMD to Syria.
Before changing his mind again (ala John Kerry), David Kay, the UN weapons inspector, told Tom Brokaw in July 2003 that based on millions of pages of internal Iraqi government documents recovered from Saddam's regime, he was convinced that Iraq had WMD which were taken out of the country before the war. Among the documents which have been translated:
- corresponsence between various Iraqi organizations giving instructions on how to hide WMD;
- chemical agent purchase orders dated 12/01;
- WMD protection suits and instructions on how to hide chemicals;
- ricin research; and
- a memo from the Iraqi Intelligence Service on how to hid information from a UN inspection team.
Bill Clinton, perhaps remembering his own rhetoric about the danger that Iraq's WMD program posed to not just the region but the United States, said in a July 2003 interview on Larry Kind that "it is incontestable that on the day I left office, there was a substantial amount of biological and chemical material unaccounted for" in Iraq.
In June 2004, UNMOVIC's executive Chairman, Demetrius Perricos, detailed the exprt of thousands of tons of missile components, nuclear reactor vessels and formentors for WMD warheads and the discovery of some of these items, with UN inspection tags still on them, as far away as Turkey, Holland and Jordan.
Bah. They'd rejected it as "too politically lopsided" if someone wanted to run a full-page pro-victory, pro-Bush or pro-America ad.
Nothing they say can be taken seriously again because they have cried wolf so vociferously.
Comparing the President to Hitler is so over-the-top that there is nothing they can say about the next GOP President that is worse really.
Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. It's time to take out our own ad. Perhaps the New York Sun?
We're finally bringing the troops home from Germany???
Give it a try, see what happens.
IMHO any "bias" that is overt, coming from the press, is bought and paid for.
You could buy it as easily as that other group.
It's about the money.
They are racing to get all the stuff out before their going out of business sale.
The NYT and the LAT and all the other national rags who buy ink by the 55-gallon drum are worried, and rightly so. Who needs a 5-pound dead tree delivered to their door when they can get much more factual and instantaneous news right here? It is the death throes of dinosaurs.
The advertisement's two-pronged battle plan:
1) Tantrum. On the night of the State of the Union, at 9 p.m., make noise "to drown out Bush's lies." Beat drums, bang pots, honk horns, raise your voices.
2) March on the White House on the Saturday following. Yeah, on a frigid Saturday in January, they're gonna get, i dont know, probabaly DOZENS of people to come out behind the slogan "Bush Step Down!"
Pointless, stupid, futile gestures like this give me hope that the Dem/Left alliance is disintegrating.
I really believe it is time for the Conservatives to not only get tougher on the Dems, but to get tough on the media. Who cares if they try and smear us, they already do!
I would like to hear every Republican Congressman and Senator publicly calling the NYT what it is, a left-wing propoganda paper. There is no reason to hide it, the media has chosen their side, and it is time for us to treat them as our opponents, because that is what they have chosen. The media chose this route, not conservatives.
These people are using the wrong religion in their fear-mongering blather and they'd better wake up and realize it soon.
They would certainly take the money and run the ad, right next to their editorial rebuttal.

I doubt it. Like I told those other two, buy your own ad and specify "no rebuttal!"
