At the NYT's, is this why they hired him. Can we believe any thing the NYT's prints any more? Who checks the facts. Bill Kristol seems to get his facts wrong quite A bit.

Yes, I am constantly bored by the number of Republican politicians who tie up the airwaves every week denouncing the viewpoints of their preachers who have said something that was out of line. How many is it? 100 a month? 10 a month? 1 a month? Oh gosh, no one goes on national or local TV to denounce their ministers.

This is no different than FOX constantly placing a Democrat designation under the picture of a Republican charged with significant misconduct. We see the continual campaign against Obama with innuendo that he is Muslim. The only way to put an end to this is if people are fired for their lies and right wing bias.
