Team McCain has an epiphany: The NYTimes is a left-wing rag!
Well.
After years of John McCain basking in the glow of NYTimes-conferred maverick status, after enjoying heaps of praise from the open-borders editorial board for his shamnesty efforts, and after touting the NYTimes editorial endorsement on the McCain campaign website just eight short months ago, Team McCain has discovered — gasp! — that the NYTimes is a pro-Obama propaganda machine.
Knock me over with a feather.

It’s about time that McCain got a freaking clue about the Grey Old Biddy.
Note to McCain: The Old Media isn’t your friend….they have a new “savior” now.
Flenser:
You’re better than this. Your posts are mostly rational. You can agree to disagree with Atheling.
Please knock off the BS. This blog and its contributors are better than this.
Or do you really really want Obummer to win? Seriously.
I mostly agree. It really is sad to see so much unnecessary hate like this. But of course I see this as venting a reasonable ammount of frustration due not to real derangement, but to legitimate disagreement. In some cases. In others, not so much.
With all of the cumulative BS about McCain — You’d think that McCain was actually Jimmy Carter who tricked all the republicans for voting for him in the republican primaries or something like that.
I was really disgusted with the left’s Bush Derangement Syndrome that the democrats had for virtually his entire presidency. And I am similarly not amused to see MDS in milder form by otherwise intelligent republicans. It’s petty. It’s ugly. And it serves no purpose after the primary, and before the general election. As has been mentioned about a million times so far, this election is now down to two people. The man who has voted with republicans 80% of the time, or the man who has voted with the republicans only 7% of the time.
Keeping alive old hatred and debunked slams of McCain is violating Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment. And of course people are free to do this. It’s just deeply disappointing for me to see so many conservatives participating in what looks like MDS. And for no good purpose. Especially after McCain got the most votes from out fellow republicans. I expect this to go on right up to the election day. Maybe even some people will begrudgingly say ‘vote for him, it’s in the good of our nation that he’s elected and Obama is defeated.’ But I won’t hold my breath. For the people who have expressed that they want McCain to lose, or drop dead in his first year in office so Palin can be president, I sincerely wish that your hope will never come to pass. They expressed their opinion, and I expressed mine.
That’s all I’ve got to say.
And look at the second trackback
That’s what I meant when I said this serves no good purpose.
This is another example of derangement.
I made the mistake of letting my TV Tuner hang on MSNBC a bit too long last night and caught just enough of a glimpse of olbreman talking to some NY Times guy, and they just could not believe that McCain would say that about a “respected” paper like the NY Times. I about laughed my butt off when I saw it because Olberman says it with such a straight face, man… I changed the channel though, I’m trying my best to boycoott BOMSNBC
They live in a bubble, Veretax.
Wouldn’t you kow…lgm getting his candidates mixed up again..

It is actually an improvement from his completely deranged rant yesterday:
“Traitor scum sleaze McCain at it again… Please God, let him die!”
Which, not surprisingly, was also linked here…
This campaign has come as a downright shock to me wise_man. I thought the ability to mentally exclude that which you don’t want to be made aware of was the quintessence of “liberalism”.
Joke’s on me I guess.
I’m perfectly willing to guess, Bill, (as I have no statistics to make this claim, but it’s a feeling I have,) that us conservatives have about 7% of our members that are batsh*t insane, and about 80% of liberals are also similarly mentally imbalanced.
It’s unfortunate to see much of these very vocal 7% here. Maybe it’s a favorable breeding ground. It’s not hard to find that 80% from the left. They can be found most everywhere, especially on the huffington post and the daily kos. I hope that after the election, when Obama or McCain wins, that things will settle down a bit. Either Obama will be seen as the rotten president that he is most likely to be, (and people here will react appropriately) or McCain will be elected and will govern with a level head, and people will see that he isn’t the conservative hating terror that so many of them make him out to be.
Know the expression ‘fair weather friends?’ Well it’s upsetting to see these ‘fair weather republicans’ who claim to be staunch conservatives, and whine about McCain because he’s not conservative enough – all the while knowing that the choice is him or Obama.
Oh, and of course it goes without saying that McCain knows that the NYT is left leaning. His attempts to be more bi-partisan than most is admirable. And just because he isn’t bashing the media as some would want to see him doing, doesn’t mean that he’s in love with the liberal press.
Indeed.
This isn’t the first time that Flenser has been banned… is it, Flenser?
No point in my adding to your comments, Bill and wise_man. You both know how I feel.
While I don’t often agree with Irish Rose, I usually do agree with wise_man and Bill Grant. You know where I stand as well.
As far as flenser, he’ll be Cynthia McKinney’s second vote.
