Comments on: Washington Times joins conservative media in publishing McCain’s error-filled op-ed.

Not even presidents always get their op-eds published in the newspaper. The NYT often rejected op-eds from Clinton as well. I don’t know if they ever rejected one from Bush – because I am not sure he is even capable fo writing one.
McCain was actually rescued from being hoisted by his own petard – his op-ed was full of mischarcterizations of Obama, offered no new policy information or opinion, and would have been an embarrassment to McCain – now the right wing has taken it up as “proof” that the media is liberal. So the NYT not only saved McCain, it gave the rightwingers a new “cause.” The plan from the start?

The Washington Times is owned by Rev.Sun Yung Moon. He bought this newspaper to advance the neoconservative agenda.This idiot man has the ear of the right. Of course he printed it.

This is the man who in a ceremony in a Congessional office was literally crowned king of religion in America. He was attended by and crowned by some famous congressman. He wore a robe, his wife was there. This is the man that claims he is the reincarnation of Jesus.

He has great influence with the right wing. There is a book about him written this year. It’s called BAD MOON RISING. It details his grasp in this country and who the right wing players are who support him. And in return he gives them money and publicity in his newspaper. It makes the whole idea of him with his influence on the right even more frightening.

Bush’s father is a great friend of his. He supports him totally. The right are crazy. If you have any doubt of that then read this book.

I trust T5 holds the same amount of contempt for CBS editing Katie’s interview with McCain last night.

dbadass, that’s what’s nice about being able to go in and edit your own typos. :)

Sorry ralph about the mispell and of course that should have been “no comment” site and while we are at it “threw” not “through”

actually raplh, embarassing as it is, I swung by the comments site to make sure all the pretend Latin Kings that sit at monitors saying goofy shit were getting all fired up about busboys and stumbled upon it.

Couldn’t they have been content just hanging McCain’s Op-Ed on the white house refrigerator?

dbadass, where’s that quote from?

I seem to recall a comment from Tiberius, briefly flashed before he got deleted, that said he didn’t have to answer any questions, which prompted your “couldn’t answer it” remark.

Do I have that right?

“The libs were funny and pathetic though. deadbeatass (dbadass) asked me a question. They then promptly deleted Tiberius and deadbeatass posted: “see, he couldn’t answer it,” a few moments later. They can’t handle the truth.”

Sorry but this was just too hilarious for words. Must have been that 4 minutes that through me. Tool/Fool!

Now that the McCain letter is part of the public record, there is really nothing to prevent other people with differing opinions, to write to these orgainizations and express their opinions and to point out the errors in the McCain letter.
Happens all time in OP-ED pages all over the country.

The question here is, will the rebuttals be published?

Tracy5 Says:

“SPIEGEL: Would you hazard a prediction as to when most of the US troops will finally leave Iraq?

Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. US presidential candidate Barack Obama is right when he talks about 16 months.”

McCain: That was a bad translation. What Maliki really said was, “As late as possible, as far as we’re concerned. US presidential candidate John McCain is right when he talks about 100, 10,000, or 1,000,000 years.”

This is the edited Spiegal version on the magazine’s web site:

“Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes.”

The actual quote is here:

“SPIEGEL: Would you hazard a prediction as to when most of the US troops will finally leave Iraq?

Maliki: As soon as possible, as far as we’re concerned. US presidential candidate Barack Obama is right when he talks about 16 months. Assuming that positive developments continue, this is about the same time period that corresponds to our wishes.”

Why does the right side enjoy watching our soldiers get killed? I get the feeling they like war. Makes them appear ‘manly’, I guess.

They may imagine that it makes them appear manly, but to anyone on the outside, it makes them appear as scared little boys who talk tough as long as their daddy is around.

It probably does make them feel manly. I’ll give you that.

Looks like we have some monitoring back at TP. Tiberious hasn’t survived past about the 15th post in the past several threads.

Gotta hurt to be so stupid as to not be able to stay long enough to either disrupt or to actually ‘debate’ an issue.

These funny Repug trolls; looks like their Boot Camp has lost its effectiveness.

I thought they recalled the Tracy5 model due to faulty logic board circuitry?

It doesn’t look like they fixed the bug yet.

No.

Tracy5 talking point has already been debunked. Malaki’s own translator confirmed the exchange.

PS. Why does the right side enjoy watching our soldiers get killed? I get the feeling they like war. Makes them appear ‘manly’, I guess.
