We on the left are always amazed by the ability of them on the right to march in lock step on every issue. Last week, we reported on wingnut reaction to The New York Times’s (and The L.A. Times’s and…

Hey I’m off on vacaction, the next media I hope to be exposed to is “Snakes on a Plane!!” Happy a great 4th Wyrd!

Damn.

More and more politicians and major public figures demand the NY Times pay for it’s acts of Treason and how they have endangered the Citizens of the United States with their anti-American bias.

Sen. Jim Bunning: N.Y. Times Committed …

Rep. Peter King (R-NY) wants the long-time ally of CBS and Dan Rather prosecuted for its latest divulging of national security secrets. King, the Times reports(from the shadows of page A12) is ” calling on the attorney general to begin a criminal investigation and prosecution of the New York Times, its reporters, the editors that worked on this and the publisher.” Is Team Bush listening? George Bush has wagged a finger at the Times. Will he do anything more? FYI: For any ACLU-admirer who thinks Peter King (Chairman, House Homeland Security Committee) is just being a “Bushbot,” this ex-Marine is very critical of George Bush on the U.S. border chaos. However, Rep. King opposes sedition, treason and giving aid and comfort to Islamic fanatics who are very likely planning something bigger and deadlier than 9.11. King, outspoken New Yorker, opposes such aid to the enemy even when provided under cover of “privacy concerns” or during the growing economic and circulation problems of the NY Sulzberger Times.

ps. Even if one thinks that hauling Times hirelings before a grand jury in order to flush out the leakers is better than “prosecuting” the Times, the fact remains: the ball is in the court of George Bush. What will he do with it?

Good idea! any attorneys out there who can comment on this?

When one yells “Fire” in the proverbial crowded theater, one is subject to arrest and suit for reckless endangerment. The NYT might be subject to a class action suit for reckless endangerment of Americans because of its pattern of disclosures obviously harmful to American security. Therefore, let’s file class action suits against the NYT. I am not an attorney, but I think that just as freedom of speech is bounded by a notion of responsibility, so must be the freedom of the press.

truly believe this is a case of not what’s the “best spin”, but what’s the best way to hurt Bush. Simply ask yourself; Would the NY Times have printed stories exposing classified programs that the U.S. government was using to not only catch terrorists, but protect American civilians and military if a democrat was President??

You mean like the Pentagon Papers??? (Hey, hey, LBJ how many kids did you kill today…)

No, it’s that we are all very “leak prosecution weary” now. the leak investigation into who “outed” valerie plame has totally made people complacent in leak investigations. it’s not that they don’t care, it’s just that we’ve ALREADY had two years or so of “leak investigations” and it has grown old and tired. Unfortunately, the “cia outing leak” that was investigated had no bearing on national security unlike the ones that the NYT has published. Don’t expect anyone to investigate this leak – the dems are pretty quiet about this.

Those individuals are: Arthur Sulzberger, Bill Keller, James Rissen, and Eric Lichblau, as individuals.

The “corporation” didn’t break the law so much as the decision makers who approved publication which violated the Espionage Act and the reporters who were the contacts and who wrote the story.

I doesn’t touch upon “freedom of the press” because these individuals are not above the law.

I’m still staying super busy trying to get the Old War Dogs site ready to launch and I have a couple of great Russ Vaughn pieces to post after bit but I can’t let the day slide by without recommending…

However, Congress can still call for a hearing and can still put Keller under oath.

May be the RINO would give the conservatives the “secure the border/enforcement” bill to exchange for letting NY Times go?

Isn’t America great?

There are other considerations though. Bush might still have Gonzales mad at him over the Jefferson debacle. That would certainly slow thongs down. Also, perhaps the Slimes has more leaked information which W. wants kept secret. It is unfortunate that our commander in chief is known for preferring compromise over taking direct action…

Time will tell, but the liberal media cannot be happy at the level of outrage which Americans are leveling at them today.

The librals and the RINOs will all come to the call to save NY Times..

That, sadly, include President Bush. I can tell from Tony Snow’s soft touches on explaining how “bad” NY Times was…

“if they decided to assume the resposibility of determining what shoud be classified and what should not, may be they ought to accept the obligation….blah blah blah..”

Man, even President Bush himself does not have this sort of respect and clout.

Which is another twisted logic, among so many others, on the part of the BDS-liberals – “Don’t go it alone but we’ll expose joint programs because the public has a right to know”. Never mind that they’d protect all of us, regardless of syndrome or affliction.

If we don’t win this war, we may never again.
