Audacity of Truth
NYT: NSA scandal is worse than WWII Japanese internment camps
Can the editors the NYT display their anti-Bush bias any more blatantly? With emphasis added:
In times of extreme fear, American leaders have sometimes scrapped civil liberties in the name of civil protection. It’s only later that the country can see that the choice was a false one and that citizens’ rights were sacrificed to carry out extreme measures that were at best useless and at worst counterproductive. There are enough examples of this in American history – the Alien and Sedition Acts and the World War II internment camps both come to mind – that the lesson should be woven into the nation’s fabric. But it’s hard to think of a more graphic example than President Bush’s secret program of spying on Americans.
Of COURSE what Bush did was worse than what the beloved FDR allowed to happen during WWII with the internment camps – because W is, well, W and by default everything he does is an ‘abuse of power’ to the NYT. There’s really no other way to explain it.
Shame on the NYT, both for supporting anti-American art they wanted displayed at the WTC memorial site and for demagoguing the NSA ’scandal.’
I guess this is their lame attempt at justifying their undermining of the war on terror by their publishing of the James Risen and Eric Lichtblau article that contained harmful-to-our-national-security information given to them by “whistleblowers.”

BTW, the admin is laying out its legal case in defense of their warrantless wiretaps authorization.

Goodness.
The NYTwits just have no credibility left to them.
- I would like to see some media watchdog group dig into the NYT’s financials. Industry insiders have been saying for the past 5 years that circulation is basically down to a trickle after dropping for years, and yet they continue on as the press mouth piece for the extreme left. Someone like Soros, Moore, ect. must be funding them and a public disclosure would clearly show their bias and agenda. Maybe a few Emails to mediamatters, and others, is in order. Be interesting to see who’s keeping this radical rag afloat….

“Of COURSE what Bush did was worse than what the beloved FDR allowed to happen during WWII with the internment camps – because W is, well, W and by default everything he does is an ‘abuse of power’ to the NYT.”
From a separation of powers perspective its worse because the sedition acts were excercised by all the branches of government, and so was the internment.
Recently I read a report where the writer said that the interment camps were worse than the Nazi concentration camps. Of course this writer is a complete leftist, but it just goes to show you how this bb brained people think that “W” is worse than Nazis. I don’t know how these people lived thru their teen years with such stupid thinking. – Lorica
Liberals can not abide the truth being told. The Washington post had to shut down their Ombudsman’s blog because of the nasty comments angry, deranged Liberals were placing there because the Ombudsman dared write that Democrats got Abramoff’s money and the Post should have made that clear.

Sacto Dan is/was a frequent caller to 1380 AM in Sacramento, CA. Very informative. Eric Hogue would have him on for sometimes 10 minutes at a time.
The LEFT lacks PERSPECTIVE.
Republicans are legislating/governing most of the time to the left of center and yet the LEFT thinks they are extreme right. Extreme right would be libertarians who want an 80% cut in government or anarchists who want no government. For the benefit of any new readers, Government has grown EVERY year for over 6 decades. Accusations about cuts are completely inaccurate and the NYTimes have been part of the set of people making accusations about cuts. They are nothing but completely discredited due to their lack of perspective that has gone on for far too long.
This story pinpoints MORE lefties without perspective
The first sentence is:
Right-to-privacy groups said on Friday an attempt by the Bush administration to force Google Inc. to turn over a broad range of materials from its databases set a dangerous precedent that should worry all Americans.
Way down in the story are these admissions:
1) The Justice Department said on Friday that America Online, Yahoo and Microsoft had all complied with similar requests.
2) A Google spokesperson said the company objected to the breadth of the government’s request but did not consider it to be a privacy issue since the search terms would not include personally identifiable details.
“Republicans are legislating/governing most of the time to the left of center and yet the LEFT thinks they are extreme right. Extreme right would be libertarians who want an 80% cut in government or anarchists who want no government. ”
With the K-street/GOP in power you get what we got with medicare: government that grows, but does not provide.
Lack of efficiency is not new with Republicans Andrew.
For comparisons you can see how much states spend on each item like education, health, etc and see which state provides more services per dollar. They are most often the Republican controlled states as opposed to the Democrat.
Am I giving the Republicans an “A” for conservativism or efficiency? No.
- So Andrew…. getting back to the topic… What do you think of the NYT’s biased, skewed editorial opinion pieces, printed unfer the guise as “news”, and photo doctoring?
- and btw – before you start in on the old Leftist tangent of “suppression of free speech” whenever they’re called out on this sort of fraudulent activity, I have no problem with NYT publishing all the propaganda they want to, as long as they clearly identify their political affiliations and agenda’s.
- Of course the reason they’ll never admit to it is the vast majority of Americans would immediately take what they have to say with a grain of salt. What say you?
- Bang
The people who are today in charge of the Republican Party are corrupt and should be voted out of office in November. So should all other sitting politicians Republicans and Democrats. It is time to send a message. Do the people’s business, not the lobbyists business. Peace
I agree with your last 3 sentences.
Steve, would you say that about my Congressman, Ron Paul of Texas?
http://www.house.gov/paul/

From the Wikipedia article:
“Unlike many political candidates, Paul receives the overwhelming majority of his campaign contributions (92.5% in 2004), from individuals. [2]“
Repost –
Alternate Dem stratedgies:
1) – Bush straps on the spurs and kicks some Jihadist butt. No further attacks since 9/11.
- Required Liberal response: Rogue President; cowbow image; overreaching; innocent Americans; domestic; infriging on Privacy; 1st and 4th amendments; Hitler/WWII internment comparisons; ACLU/et al suit; run with impeachment screed; LWMSM propaganda splash….
2) Bush whimps out and plays it politically safe. We get hit again, even if its not particularly effective, and very few get hurt or die.
- Required Liberal response: Inneffective President; failing in his duties under Art. II; failing to uphold his constitutional directives; Nation defenseless under Bush; Wrecklessly out of touch; Traitor to the country; Armageddon screed, followed by impeachment screed; LWMSM propaganda splash….
- I could practically write their talking points for them, which if critical internal party viability has anything to do with partisan predictability at every political bend in the road, this transparency just can’t be good for the Dems.
- What does Rove need brain waves for, when his political foes have more tin-hats than functioning neurons.
Liberal notes: Never let a white cat cross your path, or maybe like greyish or that sort of mottled effect of grey and splashes of black on a smeared white field…. On alternate tuesdays…. with Wasabi and ginger….. (normal Liberal nuanced thinking)
- Bang
Bang, you’re forgetting #3: Bush lashes out at the wrong target, looking tough, whipping butt incompetently, and we’re still not safe
