The New York Times Uses Bigotry and Hypocrisy in a Wild Political Comedy.
The New York Times, the self-styled authority on racism and its manifold uses and abuses, has reverted to primordial type as they must now begin their overt bigoted political attacks. It is time for dirty politics.
Frank Rich [who else?] leads the attack:
“…Pushed over the edge by his peers’ polite chatter about Mitt Romney’s sermon on “Faith in America,” Mr. O’Donnell branded the speech “the worst” of his lifetime. Then he went on a rampage about Mr. Romney’s Mormon religion, shouting (among other things) that until 1978 it was “an officially racist faith.”
“That claim just happens to be true,” says Frank Rich of the New York Times.
Really? So, according to Frank Rich the Mormon religion an officially racist faith?
“[Rich asks in the article] Why didn’t Mr. Romney publicly renounce his church’s discriminatory practices before they were revoked? ”
Then,
“The answer is simple. Mr. Romney didn’t fight his church’s institutionalized apartheid, whatever his private misgivings, because that’s his character. Though he is trying to sell himself as a leader, he is actually a follower and a panderer, as confirmed by his flip-flops on nearly every issue.”
This is Frank Rich at his best. The New York Times owes him a fat bonus or promotion for this jewel. Nobody can handle the fine points of race-based propaganda and polemics than Frank.
Could we apply Rich’s “as confirmed by his flip-flops on nearly every issue” to denounce John Kerry?? No, he is apolitical ally. Kerry can flip and flop and be praised by the NYT.
I wonder if Frank Rich celebrates Malik Shabazz and his comments in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOe1B5OoCDY
?
Where are Frank Rich’s comments on “Quanel X?”
None? Oh, a political ally! We must have forgotten. How silly of us. There is no basis for truth here—there is only the urgent want for crass political polarizations, biased and racial demarcations with retrograde hackneyed partisan politics for us to read at the New York Times.
George Bernard Shaw said that Communism was a ‘religion’ too. Was he a follower and a panderer of this Communist religion? He said he was. Did G.B.S. denounce Stalin for his millions of murders? No, he excused them. They were ‘necessary’ in his warped view. Did the New York Times denounce Stalin in the articles by Walter Duranty or the murders by Castro? The New York Times can deplore any form of religion from their own self-defined institutionalized foundation and stoically remain silent on murder, genocide, pogroms and worse from their very own leftist political allies, the Communist Religion and their sponsors, but they think others ought to step and publicly renounce their ‘discriminatory practices.’ Hypocrisy has no stronger example in the literature than this interesting piece of rhetoric. Could they ever denounce the tactics of the Black Panthers calling people ‘white devils?’
What about the comment about “exterminate white people off the face of the planet” by Kamau Kambon Where was the condemnation here by Frank Rich?
Maybe Frank Rich ought to point out the hypocrisy and racism in his own New York Times.
Frank will get ‘religion’ before that happens.
Times are getting rough, so that means the NYT thinks Hillary is losing. Get ready for some more serious racism and sleaze from the Old Gray Lady. We have nearly a year to go……….
