But the simple truth is that he was more often right than wrong (at least at the early stages), and the difference between McCarthyism and Witch Hunts is that there were no witches, but there were plenty of communists.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-84267526881402529862011-03-22T19:00:02.849-04:002011-03-22T19:00:02.849-04:00LawHawk, I bet even if you had misspelled it, it w...LawHawk, I bet even if you had misspelled it, it would still apply just as well to the eminent Mr. Krugman.T_Ravnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-39131985008440420982011-03-22T18:56:41.247-04:002011-03-22T18:56:41.247-04:00Bev: You object to the awesome seriousness of the...Bev: You object to the awesome seriousness of the <i>Times</i>?

That said, I put most of the MSM on the radical side of the spectrum rather than the liberal side. Genuine liberals may get the solutions wrong, but it's the radicals in politics and the press who intentionally mislead them. This article is a perfect example. No real liberal, given the true facts, could believe that Darby is the bad guy here.

Sullivan</i> which established the rules of defamation for news organizations being sued by "public figures." The issue here would have been "did the <i>New York Times</i> play the major part in making the plaintiff a public figure in the first place?" That would not be a sure thing, and the <i>Times's</i> retraction, however weak, goes a long way toward reducing the effectiveness of the lawsuit.<br /><br />And you are right about the <i>National Enquirer</i>.

As it is with many things the left hurls, it should be embraced and turned around. The left has spent decades turning this country on it’s head, we need to quickly correct the ship and purge leftist radicalism from the body politic, it has no place in American society. What this kid did, takes real guts and should be applauded, not allowing these cretins to murder their fellow man for some harebrained leftist ideology - - useful idiots are alive and well.StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-55806404970527504012011-03-22T17:34:55.943-04:002011-03-22T17:34:55.943-04:00Like Jed, I wasn't aware of this latest outrag...Like Jed, I wasn't aware of this latest outrage from The Lady in Gray. I permanently gave up on the Times a couple months ago, when it claimed that Jared Loughner (he of Tucson and Giffords fame) was a militant pro-lifer, by completely twisting information from acquaintances. He was, of course, no such thing.

A couple more and we won't have to worry about the left anymore.<br /><br />The Mainstream Media is losing power. Everybody knows it, but it is so slow. Most companies would have changed their ways by now. Unfortunately, momentum as well as stubborn disbelief in reality have kept them going. <br /><br />The National Enquirer, a weekly rag which features aliens impregnating human women, has more street credit than the NY Times. In fact, they have scooped the bigger newspapers numerous times. <br /><br />The NY Times complicity in misleading the public is now so well documented, the people who are willing to believe it are die-hard communists. NY Times is America's Pravda.<br /><br />I hope Darby ends up owning the Times.Joel Farnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856960977033430002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-71083378901780871492011-03-22T16:35:29.694-04:002011-03-22T16:35:29.694-04:00Yep, snitching on the left can be hazardous to you...Yep, snitching on the left can be hazardous to your health/job/freedom. It doesn't surprise me that the Times would bury the retraction because they have long ago stopped caring about being right, they just want to be heard.<br /><br />It's the same thing with whistleblowers. I think whistleblowers should be protected because they tend to be the only way we sometimes learn about nasty things that are going on in government agencies or whatever. And the left happily agreed with me when Bush was in charge. But with Obama in charge, they are now positively venomous about the exact same kinds of people.

As usual, your writing is superb. Recently, I've been thinking about how much of the left lies, cheats, and does anything to win or get it's way. It would be unfair to brand all Democrats that way, of course. I tried to make sure I wasn't being a total hypocrite about this, and came to the conclusion--not really.Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.com
