- BLish, on 07/23/2008, -0/+43i actually work for the NY Post and i can tell you the reason the letter was published didn't really have to do with the fact of Rupert Murdoch owns the Post ... it's because the NY Post, is more of a controversial type of paper. They enjoy stirring up shiat ... including this unpublished letter from the NY Times.
They would be fools not to publish something like this that has stirred up so much interest and curiosity around the country.
It's all about distribution and sales. - inactive, on 07/23/2008, -4/+35Easily, you just back up your opinion with 'facts' that aren't even true, often referred to as 'lies'.
- qdkk, on 07/22/2008, -8/+34I just noticed how cute and stubby are McCain's fingers ... looks like he's doing magic. Or at least trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
- trotskyist, on 07/23/2008, -3/+25You are entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.
- duggdowncatisad, on 07/23/2008, -4/+25I'm feeling the urge to download the PDF, get out a red pen, correct it like a teacher, and reupload the result for the lulz
- vat0r, on 07/23/2008, -0/+14Switch the T with a P and you MAY get a little respect.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -2/+15I'm sorry, I couldn't make out what you said through all that demagoguery.
- charm803, on 07/23/2008, -1/+14I'd digg you if you did.
- sockpuppets, on 07/23/2008, -0/+10He's taking the constitution to Isengard!
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -3/+13Not happening. Getting shot down by and subsequently captured by the enemy is not a qualification for being a president. McCain is a stooge, and americans have learned their lesson when it comes to stooge presidents.
- redslash, on 07/23/2008, -0/+9make sure to use MSPaint
- Mononuclear, on 07/23/2008, -1/+10the NYT didn't publish it, the New York Post did. While all should be able to get their message out the media has no responsibility to publish factually incorrect information. They actually have a responsibility to fact check and make sure the information they publish is correct. I prefer that the things I read in the news have been checked and are true.
- algaeturd, on 07/23/2008, -5/+14AWESOME! The ignorance that flies out of this old codger's mouth never fails to AMAZE me...especially that people would even CONSIDER him for President of the United States of America. He can't speak, he can't write...he gets timelines, facts, names and dates mixed up every time he gives a speech.
What exactly DOES this man know? He admitted to not knowing the economy and foreign policy on a nationally televised debate. He's a war hero? So that qualifies him to be a president of a country?
I THINK NOT>
This man isn't qualified to manage a McDonald's. That right wing pride of yours is going to ruin the country even further. What's the matter? Economy still a bit too 'active' for your right-wing tastes? You want to see the whole ship sink before you'll be happy?
Republicans blow my mind; they really do. It's hard to fathom such gluttony for punishment when it comes to the people they select to run what used to be the greatest nation on Earth, now hovering somewhere around 'the biggest punchline with most worthless currency' mark. You guys are awesome. Republicans did a SMASH UP job these past 8 years. Just AMAZING. No. Really. - Kanten, on 07/23/2008, -2/+10Because Murdoch has established such a reputation as a trustworthy guy.
- inboxnews, on 07/23/2008, -0/+8Um, the NYT didn't publish his Op-Ed, the NY Post did.
- mikephimikephi, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8I'd like to show him how to make a pencil disappear
- cheezintern, on 07/23/2008, -0/+7of course his fox news is the pillar of journalistic integrity.
- neonoodle, on 07/23/2008, -1/+8Cause they're idiots?
- Bawbzilla, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6Agreed, this would be pretty amusing.
- rdmorley, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6though i disagree with the content, you provide a good point and can't disagree on that. i do dislike the post though, but, i will give it to you, best sports in town for sure
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -5/+11"He makes it sound as if Maliki has endorsed his timetable - when the Iraqi prime minister has merely said that he’d like a plan for the eventual withdrawal of US troops at some unspecified future point."
Is anyone buying this line? - cklein121, on 07/23/2008, -0/+6People like you, who vote blindly or not at all, are the reason that an incompetent, oil/war loving monster (Cheney) runs this country.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -4/+10If McCain wants to spread falsehoods about Obama the proper way to do it is to buy up air time on TV instead of trying to free ride off the NY Times' credibility.
- cadmiumpaint, on 07/23/2008, -1/+7Well i think you missed the point that McCain is about as exciting as day old oatmeal.
- cheezintern, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5..but look at him. I just want to sit down and play checkers with him and hear about 'Nam.
- amoirae, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5Or a Walmart greeter.
- Harbinger67, on 07/23/2008, -0/+5He's resorting to Jedi mind tricks to win the election.
- apextek, on 07/23/2008, -1/+6put your pen where your keyboard is.
- enki25, on 07/23/2008, -2/+7More people don't like McCain. That's the point of political polling, which Obama is winning. What does that have to do with this article?
- cklein121, on 07/23/2008, -3/+7Then why are you on digg.com (the ultimate source of crap news)?
- Chirp08, on 07/23/2008, -0/+4I'd be interested in that just to learn a bit more about how he is skewing the facts. That way when someone comes up to me I'm better informed.
Also I shall lol. - blankoboy, on 07/23/2008, -1/+5except he's only tricking himself with those baby penis fingers.
- Marumekomu, on 07/23/2008, -7/+11Or if, you know, he gets out-voted by McCain.
Republicans? In MY America? It's more likely than you think. - neonoodle, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4Quit being a dick. I'm sure he'd make a great McDonald's manager.
- mattmollysdad, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4get over it. we wouldn't have had Ronald Reagan unless Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy the Geek Carter... and so it will be. No one I know gives a ***** for McCain. When Obama wins if out Country can pull it together and improve we all will celebrate no matter what party. If he screws up like Mr. Carter then we (the Conservatives) will finally wake up and find someone young, honest, and brilliant to run. Again let me repeat... the election is over before it started.
- SverigesKung, on 07/23/2008, -4/+7Does not matter at all. He can make any mistakes he wants. He can get drunk and hit his head on the coffee table and get interviewed with band aid on his face and still get elected president. Your hope doesn't matter. Your money doesn't matter.
Unless you gave it to Diebold! - cadmiumpaint, on 07/23/2008, -6/+9Who's that guy? oh yeah....the other dude running for president that nobody really notices.
- brainflakes, on 07/23/2008, -1/+4Did you win any McCain Online Action Center Points for that?
- danfive555, on 07/24/2008, -0/+3No, for his next trick he'll give an error-filled concession speech.
- Kanten, on 07/23/2008, -4/+7People don't need to think, it's common knowledge that they've been destroying the country for 8 years.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -3/+5BAWWWWWWWWWWW
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3LOL
Ladies and gentleman, this is the most useful insight into the right wing extremist mind we've had to date.
They think LYING is ok, because they pretend it's OPINION.
I'm not surprised the right wing doesn't get it, they lack morals, ethics, and integrity.
Inboxnews, lying is lying, period.
You can lie and pretend the lie is your opinion, but that doesn't change the fact that you are lying and trying to mask it as an "opinion".
The rightard claim that obama is a muslim isn't OPINION, it's a lie. There is nothing factual to back it up, but the right wing pushes it because in their bigoted little minds being muslim will hurt his chances. Again, still not opinion, you guys KNOW it's false and say it anyway.
I realize you are rationalizing the lies you tell in an attempt to not have to face the fact that you are a dishonest liar with no integrity, but it's not going to work.
Lies labeled "opinion" are still lies and deserve to be treated as such.
So are you proud of yourself when you try to derail conversations about integrity and honesty?
It's pretty revolting the way you right wing scumbags think that lies are ok if you call them something else.
I guess it's a big part of why you dumbasses are failing in a historically significant way.
After the dust settles you rightards will be regarded with the same disgust we now regard the people who harrassed black schoolkids back in the day. - nydwarf, on 07/24/2008, -0/+2Yeah too bad it was in the wrong country. Try Afghanistan next time.
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -1/+3That's not how it works.
But a lot of guys with tiny hands will try to convince you of that. - dinot, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2The ghosts of the 1,039 soldiers who have been killed since Feb. 2007 would like to tell you to shove your "surge" right up your ass.
So now, as opposed to being an "absolute disaster", it's only "kind of a disaster". Iraq is as stable as when Bush declared "Mission Accomplished". Hoo-*****-ray. - DigitalPimptres, on 07/23/2008, -2/+4Okay, if the NEW YORK POST is publishing your article... is there anything else more to say?
- inactive, on 07/23/2008, -7/+9I guess we'll hear a retraction of all that contrived outrage huh?
- DiggRational, on 07/23/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I agree - even if it is a Republican newspaper, they would have sold their own mother if it meant more sales. Still, in an ideal world there should be such a thing as journalistic integrity and standards - it isn't the point that McCain attacked Obama, it's that he did so with blatantly false 'facts'. But then again, in an ideal world, we wouldn't have had Bush, Fox 'News', Bill O'Rielly, Rupert Murdoch, Cheney et al, and people would vote based on a rational thought process rather than hate, ignorance and utter, utter stupidity. Ahhh...idealism eh
- pnunn, on 07/24/2008, -0/+1I don't know, both Mickey D's and Wally World are using computers now...
- IKORKYI, on 07/23/2008, -1/+2did you even read it before posting?
