"Crazy to Everyone but theNew York Times

The paper bends over backward to find justification for Christopher Dorner’s murderous rampage."

The NY Times had exactly the same attitude about Joe Stalin and Fidel Castro. For the Times, there are no enemies on the left.

@paulejb If you read the article without viewing through paulie's rightwing prism, you'll see it says nothing of the sort.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/09/us/for-some-suspects-charges-of-police-racism-resound.html

And I look forward to paulie proving his assertion that the NY Times supports Castro and Stalin. What am I saying? We all know paulie's just making this up as he goes.

@MementoMori @paulejb ,

"The New York Times and Joseph Stalin"

"To say that Duranty's professional reputation has not held up with the passage of time would be a colossal understatement.  Now there is general agreement that he was a venal liar of epic proportions.  In pursuit of fame and fortune he wrote what he knew to be untrue about the massive, brutal crimes of Joseph Stalin and the Communist system against the people of the Soviet Union.  Strangely, though, almost all the public opprobrium seems to have fallen upon his lone shoulders and not upon those in the United States whom he pleased with his writing, that is to say, his professional and his political masters."

Not at all. The Norks are less hypocritical about their Stalinist tendencies than US college professors.

@paulejb @MementoMori "Walter Duranty (1884 – October 3, 1957) was a controversial Liverpool-born, British-American journalist who served as the Moscow Bureau Chief of The New York Times (1922–36)."

You had to go back 90 years for that one. Not exactly contemporary, is it, paulie.

Sarah would have lost so hard that even the reddest states would've turned purple. I know you're a fan and all but only the crazy sliver among GOPers would've voted for her. Maybe all that winking makes you think she's some kind of intellectual titan but she's even less popular then skunks among folks. Mitt comes across like a lying dung beatle but Sarah would have made Obamas win look like the second coming of Ike, FDR and Kennedy combined.

I don't know what instrument that can measure how clueless you are but they need to mint a stronger word then 'over the deep end' for your category.

Chris Dorner's sentiments:

"Hillary Clinton. You’ll make one hell of a president in 2016. Much like your husband, Bill, you will be one of the greatest. Look at Castro in San Antonio as a running mate or possible secretary of state. He’s (good people) and I have faith and confidence in him. Look after Bill. He was always my favorite President."

@paulejb He also said:

"LGBT community and supporters, the same way you have the right to voice your opinion on acceptance of gay marriage, Chick Fil-A has a right to voice their beliefs as well. That’s what makes America so great. Freedom of expression. Don’t be (expletive) and boycott/degrade their business and customers who patronize the locations. They make some damn good chicken! Vandalizing (graffiti) their locations does not help any cause."

Like a lot of conservatives were saying. And he also said:

"Mr. Bill Cosby, you are a reasonable and talented man who has spoken the truth of the cultural anomalies within the black communities that need to change now. The black communities’ resentment toward you is because they don’t like hearing the truth or having their clear and evident dirty laundry aired to the nation."

Like your hero, Thomas Sowell, has said.

Oh, and he also likes guns. Just like you.

Maybe he's more like you than you'd like to admit, paulie.

I guess you've already gone after Hispanics today, and you got your "Hussein" in, so it's on to slurring 'blacks' and 'elitists'.
