Maverick discovers that MSM libs are not his “friends”
You know, there’s only one word that describes the proper reaction to the McCain camp feeling aggrieved about the NYTimes’ rejection of The Maverick’s op-ed piece:
Now, now, now–after years of chumming it up with the lib journalists and basking in the “maverick” designation–does Sen. McCain finally realize that these people are not his “friends?”
And as if you needed to be reminded of the obvious again: Rasmussen discovers that “Belief [Is] Growing That Reporters are Trying to Help Obama Win.”

I wonder when he will discover that all his good “friends” on the “other side of the aisle,” to whom he has reached out over the years, are really NOT his friends, either?
No. You’re kidding, Michelle. MSM journalism is the epitome of fairness.
No way. I simply won’t believe that.

As Gomer Pyle was fond of saying:
“Shazam! “Well Go-o-lly!
“Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!”
This cannot be true…
Here;s a follow up question: Would any of the libs who still read the NYT even consider voting for McCain? Probably not.
McCain’s getting more people to read his rejected letter, thanks to Drudge, than would have read it at the NYT.
They didn’t even try to hide it this time.. Maybe they thought: “Why bother trying to hide what we’re doing here? I mean after all we ARE the New York Times.”

Well after this, that Tennyson Hayes poster is even more appropriate.
I see that the NYT has standards, to be it doesn’t apply when there’s classified intelligence to report.
rather, too bad it doesn’t apply when there’s classified intel to report.
He not only needs to finally come to grips with the fact that the Media in all it’s forms are not just his enemy, but are actively working to elect Obamessiah, (all anyone need do is look and see the noise they are making about The Empty Suit’s little trip to destroy any lingering doubts) and that no Democrat in the Senate, Congress or anywhere else, especially if they can even be imagined as Liberal is his friend, he also needs to finally realize that his “Mr. Nice Guy” personna of not taking all that Obamessiah and his “Camp” is handing him on a silver platter and using it to actually get himself elected is NOT working, he needs to realize that he should stop insulting the very people who WILL get him elected and change his tune NOW.
Start being partisan for cripe’s sake. The election for President is the EXACT time that you need to be that which you are aligned with.
What is it going to take to get these “Republicans” in the Congress and the Senate to realize that the only ones NOT being partisan is them. That is why you are a member of a political party for crying out loud.
It is time for him to start listening to the Republican rank and file, those of us that have been screaming at him to “Man Up” and start fighting to win and stop listening to those that want him to lose.
Is it really that freaking difficult to understand?
Oh My, Say It Ain’t So. snort snort sob
He should have marked it classified, it would be on page 1 above the fold then. The MSM is a despicable group of people and so called journalists.
I just read his Op-Ed. It actually represented me fairly well as a Conservative.
Now if he would just dump Juan Hernandez & announce a VP I can stomach, I might actually vote for the old bird..
~Dan Lee
Of course if John McCain were an employee of the Times, hired to write editorials that reflected the views of the Times editorial board, then David Shipley would have every right to demand a rewrite.
But this is just plain media bias.
Maybe the Times needed David Shipley around in 1995, to demand that the Unabomber rewrite his letter before the Times published it.
Well, duh…..and how long did it take for this to be obvious?
George never figured it out, and we were told over the years how smart he was. I doubt McCain will ever grasp the obvious either.
Whenever there is a setback or rebuff, I guarantee you McCain will redouble his efforts to get back in the MSM’s favor. This is why I dread him picking a conservative running mate. When McCain loses, the entire RINO establishment will blame that poor sap. Please, please Mr. McCain, pick a dork as clueless as yourself.
…ignited explosive charges of media bias in top Republican circles.(taken from Gateway P)…
My question:
Where has the “go along to get along” R. Party BEEN for the last 25 + years!?
And what did Obama’s article have to mirror before it was accepted?
What an obvious double standard!
Has the NY Times officially retracted their endorsement of McCain, yet?
Well, his “good friend” Ted Kennedy endorsed Obama back in January. Now this. I wonder who Juan Hernandez is voting for?

Dear Mr. XXXXXX,
Thank you for sending me Senator McCain’s essay.
I’d be very eager to publish the Senator on the Op-Ed page.
However, I’m not going to be able to accept this piece as currently written.
I am going to be out of the office next week. If you decide to re-work the draft, please be in touch with Mary Duenwald, the Op-Ed deputy. Her email is XXXXXXXX; her phone is 212-XXXXXXX.

Hello???? Anybody home, Mcfly???? Or in this case McCain. The libs loved him when he was running for the Republican nominee, and now they throw him under the bus. La Raza will be the next McCain “buddy” to throw him under the autobus’.
P.S. I don’t have a Spanish keyboard!
That is rather blatant, even for the NYT, isn’t it? Usually they take their own liberties with distorting information. Now, they’re requesting that the other person do it for them.
Well, alrighty, then. So, if he makes it sound like the rest of the trash in their declining newpaper, they will print it. Well, I guess, at least, the NYT has some cajones about something.
Dear Mr. McCain, Here at the Progressive Cathedral, the Fellowship Hour is after the Worship Service. Please hold your letter until after the pilgimage.
Best Regards,
Your Good Friends at the NYT Progressive Cathedral.
McAmensty and company needs new friends …
Well even “fair & balanced” Fox news yammers on & on about Obama until I am ready to upchuck. I don’t think there are 15 minutes where his name isn’t mentioned. No wonder I watch reruns on FoodTV all day.
I did learn one encouraging thing from the Rassmussen surveys:
Only half of the general population is clueless. (I thought it would be more like two thirds.)
McCain is coming to the same sad realization as his friend Hillary did just a few months ago.
YA THINK???
The portrayal of John McCain and BHO through the msm brings to mind an old cartoon, Spike and Chester. BHO has been given the role of Spike the bulldog, McCain the part of Chester the Terrier, Spikes yapping sidekick. It’s sad to watch as McCain watches himself being demoted to BHO’s jr colleague in all issues both foreign and domestic, just sad. Someone close to McCain needs to hit him several times with a cluebat although whether or not it will help is purely speculation.
No one, not even the wacky left, is immune to MSM back stabbing. This group has no loyalty. They will do it BO as soon as he drifts anymore center. They won’t tolerate anything less than promoting the way-left agenda.
The only thing any sane republican should ever expect to get by ‘reaching across the aisle’ is – cooties.
Not that I endorse it, but wouldn’t a McCain-Clinton ticket (or vice versa) actually beat Obama? It would be amusing anyway – and a lot more centrist.
McCain has an ACE up his sleeve to balance out the MSM bias… “The Hispanic Vote” I mean come on all that pandering in San Diego on LaRaza Day has to pan out…Right?
I’m not sure it would be good for Sen. McCain’s health and longevity.
NPR was spinning like crazy this morning about Obummer’s visit and how the Iraqi Prime Minister was in support of Obummer (before he was against him). The questions being asked were truly sickening and the answer given was even more sickening.
“There is a consensus here that the Prime Minister…”
The last time there was a consensus, I could feel the carbon footprint tax breathing down my neck.
NPR will say anything for their messiah.
Probably for Obama but not for McCain.
This thing w/NYT is a perfect example of why such pandering is a truly humiliating and ineffective idea.
Soap, you actually subject yourself to listening to NPR? You are tougher than me. I can only take it in small doses myelf.
I hope it hurts his feelings really bad….he so deserves this kick in the ass from his “friends” my friends!!!
McCain should have known what we knew all along but was blinded by the false adulation he received from the media…jackass.
But, the question is – Has McCain learned anything from this little exercise?
I don’t think he has. He can’t possibly be wrong about something, can he? *sigh*
Exactly! He dumped the Conservative Base for what at the most 20 -25% of the ” Hispanic Vote” No matter how you spin it that’s just plain bad politicking there “my friend”.
I think B.Ho beat him out by calling ICE officials…terrorist.
Another one to watch is Allah Pundit on Hot Air. Does he support Obama or what? On every post recently, he tries to spin for Obama and against McCain, from the birth certificate to the excellent new ad by McCain about drilling.
Hopefully, there will be a backlash against the pro-Obama MSM.
Look at Yahoo’s headlines right now. There couldn’t be more for Obama if Obama were a god himself. They try to set up headlines to support Obama at every opportunity:
The MSM coverage is just like any communist country’s coverage. They don’t believe in democracy and don’t trust the voters to have accurate, unbiased coverage.
They aren’t the only ones.
I listen to the local fishing report. It slipped in and gave me a good morning laugh. Then, I was sad because people were buying it.
Small doses and a shot of Jim Beam helps!
Right_on, it’ll be the day after he takes the oath of office.
i got this off another blog comment… don’t know exact provenance, but it sure seems to mirror OB’s… or do they mean “agree” by “mirror.”
McCain’s rejected NYT piece:
In January 2007, when General David Petraeus took command in Iraq, he called the situation “hard” but not “hopeless.” Today, 18 months later, violence has fallen by up to 80% to the lowest levels in four years, and Sunni and Shiite terrorists are reeling from a string of defeats. The situation now is full of hope, but considerable hard work remains to consolidate our fragile gains.
Progress has been due primarily to an increase in the number of troops and a change in their strategy. I was an early advocate of the surge at a time when it had few supporters in Washington. Senator Barack Obama was an equally vocal opponent. “I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there,” he said on January 10, 2007. “In fact, I think it will do the reverse.”
Now Senator Obama has been forced to acknowledge that “our troops have performed brilliantly in lowering the level of violence.” But he still denies that any political progress has resulted.
Perhaps he is unaware that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has recently certified that, as one news article put it, “Iraq has met all but three of 18 original benchmarks set by Congress last year to measure security, political and economic progress.” Even more heartening has been progress that’s not measured by the benchmarks. More than 90,000 Iraqis, many of them Sunnis who once fought against the government, have signed up as Sons of Iraq to fight against the terrorists. Nor do they measure Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki’s new-found willingness to crack down on Shiite extremists in Basra and Sadr City—actions that have done much to dispel suspicions of sectarianism.
The success of the surge has not changed Senator Obama’s determination to pull out all of our combat troops. All that has changed is his rationale. In a New York Times op-ed and a speech this week, he offered his “plan for Iraq” in advance of his first “fact finding” trip to that country in more than three years. It consisted of the same old proposal to pull all of our troops out within 16 months. In 2007 he wanted to withdraw because he thought the war was lost. If we had taken his advice, it would have been. Now he wants to withdraw because he thinks Iraqis no longer need our assistance.
To make this point, he mangles the evidence. He makes it sound as if Prime Minister Maliki has endorsed the Obama timetable, when all he has said is that he would like a plan for the eventual withdrawal of U.S. troops at some unspecified point in the future.
Senator Obama is also misleading on the Iraqi military’s readiness. The Iraqi Army will be equipped and trained by the middle of next year, but this does not, as Senator Obama suggests, mean that they will then be ready to secure their country without a good deal of help. The Iraqi Air Force, for one, still lags behind, and no modern army can operate without air cover. The Iraqis are also still learning how to conduct planning, logistics, command and control, communications, and other complicated functions needed to support frontline troops.
No one favors a permanent U.S. presence, as Senator Obama charges. A partial withdrawal has already occurred with the departure of five “surge” brigades, and more withdrawals can take place as the security situation improves. As we draw down in Iraq, we can beef up our presence on other battlefields, such as Afghanistan, without fear of leaving a failed state behind. I have said that I expect to welcome home most of our troops from Iraq by the end of my first term in office, in 2013.
But I have also said that any draw-downs must be based on a realistic assessment of conditions on the ground, not on an artificial timetable crafted for domestic political reasons. This is the crux of my disagreement with Senator Obama.
Senator Obama has said that he would consult our commanders on the ground and Iraqi leaders, but he did no such thing before releasing his “plan for Iraq.” Perhaps that’s because he doesn’t want to hear what they have to say. During the course of eight visits to Iraq, I have heard many times from our troops what Major General Jeffrey Hammond, commander of coalition forces in Baghdad, recently said: that leaving based on a timetable would be “very dangerous.”
The danger is that extremists supported by Al Qaeda and Iran could stage a comeback, as they have in the past when we’ve had too few troops in Iraq. Senator Obama seems to have learned nothing from recent history. I find it ironic that he is emulating the worst mistake of the Bush administration by waving the “Mission Accomplished” banner prematurely.
I am also dismayed that he never talks about winning the war—only of ending it. But if we don’t win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president. Instead I will continue implementing a proven counterinsurgency strategy not only in Iraq but also in Afghanistan with the goal of creating stable, secure, self-sustaining democratic allies.
Now, now, now–after years of chumming it up with the lib journalists and basking in the “maverick” designation–does Sen. McCain finally realize that these people are not his “friends?”
In a related story, McCain announced that he’s learned that the sky is blue, the grass in green, and rain in wet.
It’s not enought that their stance on illegal immigration is identical? Now their op-ed pieces have to be as well?
It would be terrific to have a Republican candidate that mirrored Ronald Reagan, but I’m not going to reject all candidates until then.
I’m guessing the NYT wanted something more from McCain, like his thoughts on Czechoslovakia and the Iraq/Pakistan border.
I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you, that the NYT is in the tank for BHO.
I’m guessing not.
They can keep waiting. Just like we’ve been waiting for BHO’s ten mystery states.
I’m still trying to find one of those, “Obama for Class President”, bumper stickers.
Any updates on the availability of such a super-fun accoutrement?
It’s amazing that we saw it and McCain never did (til now) how he got “played” by the mainstream media over and over, as long as he said anything negative about republicans—then he was their guy, but only when.
You got played, John. Simple as that.
What is amazing is that McCain still thinks that chasing the pipe dream (excuse me, nightmare) of liberal fairness will actually get him some votes.
And, in a more practical sense, just what does “mirroring” mean? Isn’t it possible that McCain has his own plan and ideas rather than an exact opposite of the wonderous Obama? “Mirroring” assumes opposite – and yet this situation in Iraq is very complex with many different possible courses of action and outcomes. The mirror, therefore, is more like the ones in a funny house rather than the one you shave by.
Of course, as we all know, Obama has the exact right formula for everything – so why even bother with the campaign. Between the NY Times and the MSM, this promises to be the most one sided coverage of any campaign in history.
MSM links including time magazine? Oh brother. I used to be a reader of time back afew decades ago when you know they were an American oriented publication. At one time back in the mid to late 70’s I carried a back cover piece from time on America in my wallet, all about how much we do for the world and the ingrates that they are. Talking about how when the world has disasters we come running but when we have our own we handle it on our own. There was much more an all around pro America as it really is not how they portray it today. I used to whip it out whenever I heard someone bad mouthing America, it was a real mouth shutter. You wont find that in today’s time, they have as your moniker states, gone over to, the other side. They are now full fledged minions of the MSM. Its really sad to see a magazine fall to their level, my friends.

That the New York Times would spike Senator McCain’s oped piece should come as no surprise. About two years ago, liberal columnist Tom Friedman wrote a scathing attack on General Motors and called GM guilty of “treason”. GM’s public affairs director attempted to write a response to Friedman and in his submission, he said that Friedman’s charge of “treason” was rubbish. The head of the Times oped page (I think it was Shipley, but I am not sure) send a snotty letter back to the GM public affairs director in which the Times said that the word “rubbish” would have to be removed and be replaced with the quaint expression “We beg to differ”. GM’s spokesman said that to use such a wimpish expression to respond to an accusation of “treason” was to give the victory to Friedman. The Times sent an even more snotty letter back to GM saying that the Times would not allow a personal attack on Mr. Friedman. Apparently the Times found nothing wrong with its columnist calling GM guilty of “treason” but the Times would not allow any equal response. The Times insisted that GM respond by using prissy and effeminate language. The whole exchange was posted on the GM web site and might still be there. But this is what passes for fair and balanced at the Times. Is it any wonder that the Times oped page director is a passionate liberal Democrat who loves the Clintons?
Isn’t that what pigs do?
Ever needed to use nasal spray Bill?
On one side, you’ve got a candidate who has no ideas on what’s going on, just “mouthing” whatever his “advisors” tell him. He’s my “Duh…whatever” candidate”. On the other side, you’ve got a candidate who is friendless and doesn’t know it. He’s my “Rather him, than Obama” candidate. I’m thinking very seriously of third party candidates. Maybe one will pop out and say, “I haven’t a clue on how to be a President, just got some good ideas.” He’s got my vote, just for being honest.
I just find it ironic that a so called journalist laughs over the biased, pro-Obama reporting of the main stream media.
Indeed these “lib journalists” have in some cases been more fair, more dedicated to the truth and less prone to outright anti-McCain hysteria then at least one “consirvative” journalist.
You are probably going to get your way and have Obama as president. You are going to get REAL amnesty, REAL open borders, REAL appeasement and REAL humiliation at the hands of the islamist terrorists. I hope REAL conservatives never let you live it down.
Not the ones swimming in the Olympics
I hope McCain’s ready for four years of Bush-level treatment if he wins. No, scratch that — it’d be beyond what they do to Bush, because him winning will mean he defeated their Chosen One, which is an unforgivable offense in Lefty-Land.
McCain is just now realizing that the MSM isn’t his friend? And McCain has beensaying Obama was naive?!
/weeps for the country I love…
Maybe if McAmnesty had written his article in Spanish…the language that the Obamasiah wants us all to learn??
Wouldn’t the presidential debates be splendiferous if they took place IN Spanish, maybe even in Mexico?? What a pandermonious love fest THAT could be!
The debate would be moderated by Juan Hernandez… in front of a Mexican flag… with both candidates wearing sombreros….
God, I could go on and on with this one…
Yes you could.
And this site could collapse under it’s own weight from all of the overflowing ‘McAmnesty’ crap that has been piled on over the last months.
The Times is smaller than Mugabe’s conscience.
The MSM isn’t even ashamed of their unabashed love for Obama. Unbelievable. Not even trying to hide or anything.
I think the public will wake up very soon.
McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty, McAmnesty!

John McCain should send the NY Times a thank you letter. Its not often they reward a republican with a gift like this.
I’m just saying that that childish behavior should be relegated to the thugs at the daily kos.
Not the thugs here.
At least you are acting that way.
Do you think that this behavior from you and others, Rob – is something that Michelle is proud of, and wants this site to be known for?
There is a reason that they daily kos and the democratic underground is known to have a bad reputation. It’s from the commentators who do things like that. A “McAmnesty” from you is no less insulting than a “BushHitler” from them.
The Huffington Post never opened their comments on the news of the death of Tony Snow. It isn’t a surprise what these degenerated would have posted.
Hopefully I am not the only conservative who is disgusted by this behavior.
Oh yeah? Well I’m rubber and you’re glue…
Yes,
Pot?…Meet Kettle.
I am not the one calling McCain: “Mc[insult]” here.
P’haps, you misunderstood.
I agree w/you.
Nope, Bill, people are just bemused by the fact it still hasn’t dawned on McCain that his love for the MSM is unrequited.
We should start an over/under on how many more times he’ll shoot his foot on this before/if he finally wises up.
How could McCain be so dense? Does he really believe they “cared” about him? Criminy sakes alive. He spent five years as a POW. You’d think this guy would be more savvy. All the conservatives knew he was being played. How could he not know? They deliberately marginalized his competition (those that they were fearful of i.e. Romney & Rudy)in the primaries and effectively selected him for the RNC. Their next step was to choose between BHO and Hillary. Once that happened, of course they would drop him in the desert and let him die a slow death. Ironic & sad. Looks like we will get that 100% Democrat ruled government after all. Scary times ahead.
I just took a poll on msn homepage by nsmbc-is bho unfairly receiving more coverage over jm, by the msm? I was sooo shocked, 79% said yes.

“MDS Kettle?…This is the MSM Pot.”
MDS Kettle: “Wow!…You sure are black!”
*cough*
Like most “moderate” Republicans, McCain has chosen to underestimate just how deranged the left is. He presumed there was “reasoned opinion” when there is, in fact, nothing but hatred.
Ann Coulter has written about this for years, and she has been pilloried as being on the lunatic fringe. She’s not.
Ask Hillary Clinton what happens when you aren’t left-enough.
Obama’s “base” represents about 25% of the voting public…
… and they are *insane.*
Giuliani, Romney or Thompson would easily destroy this paper tiger that has the media falling at his feet. They’d ignore the MSM, for all the right reasons, and go straight to the people via the blogosphere, talk radio, etc.
This would be a debacle. A landslide of epic proportions. Obama would be the laughing stock he deserves to be.
But none of that happened. Instead we get Mr. “can’t we all just get along?”
When’s the last time any of us voted for a candidate that gave a fart about what the NYT thought or wrote about him?
Yet another RINO-quality that endears John to all of us. I wonder if his campaign has the brass to leverage this “slight.”
Insulting McCain here just gives the lefties ammunition. I sure as hell don’t like the fact that he’s our nominee, but it comes down to two choices.
1. Vote for McCain.
2. Give the presidency to Obama.
So now, which choice will you make?
That’s a bit snortworthy, too.
Sorry, CC, but with that logic if one votes for John McCain and Obama wins, they’ve still “given the presidency to Obama”. It’s a difference that makes no difference.
If McCain wants to earn votes I think he’s really going to have to work for them (and learn to stop making out with the media).
And Mexico.
I agree, it is two choices, both of them bad, but Juan McAmnesty is “less bad” than the Obamasiah, so I will vote for Juan McAmnesty. But Juan McAmnesty insults US every day as Juan McAmnesty panders to “The Race”… Juan McAmnesty insults me every damn day in Southern California and if Juan McAmnesty wins Juan McAmnesty will continue the invasion insult in a city near you.
If I haven’t made it clear… I will do so now. I respect NOTHING about Juan McAmnesty. I do not want Juan McAmnesty as my ANYTHING. Juan McAmnesty wouldn’t make a good dog catcher. But I am stuck, it is Juan McAmnesty or Obamastalin… so I will vote for Juan McAmnesty and hope that he has a very conservative VP.
LOL Rob, people outside of So Cal (well maybe Arizona and Texas) don’t understand how bad the situation is. I wake up everyday to stories like this one. Or you can turn the page and get a story on the future thugs being raised today.
No dispute, I’m writing in Newt.
With or without the help of the MSM, McCain has narrowed the margin in every single poll I’ve seen in the past few days. Obama has dropped since his overseas trip was announced, and drastically since he landed abroad. Voters may be starting to fell a little uneasy about his lack of foreign policy experience. This could change after McCain announces Flip Romney as his running mate later this week. Right now, Obama isn’t looking too strong.
McCain is short of friends on this “side of the aisle” as well.
“Friends” — or at least those who understand the dangers an Obama presidency would expose the nation to — might use the tactic of respectful disagreement to get him to change his views in those instances they conflict with ours.
Instead, we have been subjected to endless sarcasm, name-calling and Kos-style outbursts. Hell, you’d think his name was Geraldo Rivera….
I guess it’s just too much fun to snort.
When President Obama caves in to terrorists, destroys the economy and enacts the “fairness doctrine,” snort that, people.
Um Duh… Maybe McCain will learn from this ie., drilling for energy.
Maybe he’ll also realize he has less friends on the “other side of isle”. Libs are always ready with the knife in the back.
Maybe he’ll realize his friend are us and the Reagan Dems.
I still support McCain, figuring he’ll do more right then wrong. The Amnesty thing bugs the hell out of me. But at least we can fight this front.
How many fronts does Obama present? I’ve lost count. And with a Dem Senate and House. Good God.
McCain has a few Amnesty, Global Warming and a few others.
Don’t forget about Obama’s Gestapo Civilian force?
And healthcare will go to crap. Professionals making less and less money with an over taxed system, start leaving the industry making it worse.
I do think conservatives are not like the kos kids. We battle over ideas not ideology.
Keep an open mind. Let’s see if the old guy takes it to this POS.
aisle… must be thinking about vacation
The very reason I will not vote for McRivera. These are the very people he panders to. What did he tell the anti amnesty crowd to do? F Off? Right Back at the Maverick.
