[img]1|left|||no_popup[/img]My friend The Heart Surgeon was born a Democrat 69 years ago in Chicago. In medicine, this is called a congenital defect.
My friend The Heart Surgeon is such a hardcore liberal that he would vote twice for Hugo Chavez and three times for Mrs. Chavez before entertaining the possibility of casting a ballot for a Republican — under an assumed name, of course.
But even the doctor pinches his nostrils and puts one finger in his ear this election season when discussing Hillary Clinton. Can’t stand her. Said so again yesterday at our Shabbat lunch table. So did my rabbi, also Democrat down to his kishkes. Both are pledged to vote John McCain.
It is possible they are isolated illustrations. But I doubt The Heart Surgeon and The Rabbi are the only American Jews who are leaping from a lifetime on the Democratic bandwagon to vote for the much, much, much lesser evil — in fact, not a bad fellow, not Giuliani, not Romney, but quite palatable.
Newspapers Are a Little Tilted
You will not read this in the nation’s leading newspapers where liberals have sandboxes all to themselves. The poison-pen-pushing punks who purport to publish “news” showed again over the weekend that they frolic even as they drown in their hateful addictions. They are vigorously willing slaves to the Democrat Party. Presumably, they do not know any better.
The punk pundits and ideologues at the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times are bogged down with bales of bigoted baggage. Sometimes the glint from their earrings momentarily blinds them. Maybe that is why they get the “news” wrong so often.
At university, their lockstep liberal professors taught them to loathe all who do not look and think as they do. They have converted that malignant mantra into their woeful work ethic.
They Would Have Rapped Abe?
This is how wide of truthful reporting they are. The Timeses on both coasts would have ripped Lincoln for speaking too briefly in the Gettysburg Address.
After ridiculing Republicans the past year for being so, so Republican, the daily script of the two newspapers suddenly was jilted the other day when Mr. Romney, with typical grace and classiness, stepped back and left the field to Mr. McCain.
Since the Republican nomination therefore was settled while the feuding, name-calling the Democrats were evenly deadlocked between Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama, the newspaper ideologues needed an updated angle.
How Reporting Differs
As you surely know, there is a vast difference between the way the leading newspapers report on Republicans and Republican administrations, and on Democrats and Dem officeholders.
Take the present cooked-up panic over the economy. If a Democrat were in t he White House, the development would be described as sheerly cyclical, which is what it is.
Back to the Republican bad guys. My goodness. I pick up my Saturday edition of The New York Times and check the headline at the top of A-1:
“Bush Presses for G.O.P. Unity…
“He Hails Nominee, Without Naming Name.”
Unity? Haven’t the Republicans determined their nominee? Yes. Aren’t the Democrats more divided than the party ever has been in modern times? Yes. Picky, picky.
But how would it look to say that peace prevails among the bad guys while the good guys are fussing like schoolboys? Please don’t clutter the two newspapers’ badly tilted liberals with facts that prove them wrong.
The Los Angeles Times — which is to The New York Times what Orange County is to Los Angeles, a permanently depressed little brother — caught up with New York this morning in lunatic headlines. After Mr. Huckabee, the nonentity, won two states yesterday, the L.A. Times headline said:
“Huckabee scores more wins, pointing up the Republican Party’s rift.”
Rift? Isn’t it remarkable what funny shapes these sad people twist themselves into to perpetuate misinformation?
Frankie Boy Is a Dem, You Know
But for pure distortion, for puerile chutzpah, the poison-penned-punks’ performance last Tuesday on page A-15 of the Los Angeles Times is a Hall of Famer.
A former state legislator in Pennsylvania, one Frankie LaGrotta, was sentenced to 6 months’ house arrest for nepotism, placing his sister and niece into jobs with lucrative salaries and no duties.
So what is the big deal?
Frankie Boy is a Democrat.
The punk ideologues at the Los Angeles Times are so petty, so puerile, so droolingly bigoted, though, that the copy editor deleted the fact that he is a Democrat from the story because he did not want the news to reflect illy on his party.
These are the boy and girl bigots who produce the daily Los Angeles Times.
Another Rotten Democrat
You may remember when the Times, with enormous reluctance, was reporting 7 years ago this spring on the corrupt little Gary Condit.
Short of stature and even shorter on morals and common sense, he was the wife-cheating Northern California congressman involved with the murdered Chandra Levy.
You have to believe that for ideological reasons, the poison-pen punks at the Times in 2001 would delete the fact Mr. Condit was a Democrat from its sloppy “news” reporting.
The newspaper, you see, has a documented history of deviousness. Welcome to liberal journalism.
