Drudge - NYT Rejects McCain Editorial
An editorial written by Republican presidential hopeful McCain has been rejected by the NEW YORK TIMES -- less than a week after the paper published an essay written by Obama, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
The paper's decision to refuse McCain's direct rebuttal to Obama's 'My Plan for Iraq' has ignited explosive charges of media bias in top Republican circles.

1. McCain's article has not one word about his plans for the future of Iraq

2. Exactly. It's not a "rebuttal." It's a hit piece, and it's all about The Surge.
If McCain wants to live in the past, we should probably let him. Although violence in Iraq today is precisely where it was pre-surge, if McCain wants to go on and on about it without talking about getting us out of Iraq, we shouldn't stand in his way.
McCain got us into this illegal and immoral and hugely unpopular war, and has no plan to get us out of it. He wants to talk about "honor" and "winning" but we're so far past any chance of either that he just comes off looking like the fool he is.

17. McCain is still fighting the Vietnam War
He belongs to that small group of veterans that have deluded themselves into thinking that the Vietnam War could have been won. When McCain speaks of "victory" in Iraq, he is having a PTSD episode over Vietnam.

If anyone doesn't honestly by know have an idea of what McCain's plan for Iraq is...then your head is shoved so far up your ass it won't dislodge with dynamite.

Hi5 Sarge. I even doubt they could remove it using the USS Enterprise at full speed and all the anchor chain they could muster up.

Drudge - NYT Rejects Obama Editorial
An editorial written by Democrat presidential hopeful Obama has been rejected by the NEW YORK TIMES -- less than a week after the paper published an essay written by McCain, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
The paper's decision to refuse Obama's direct rebuttal to McCain's 'My Plan for Iraq' has ignited explosive charges of media bias in top Democrat circles.
If it was like this, I can only imagine the stink these moonbats would be raising right about now. It would be to McCain's "whining" as Jupiter is to Deimos.

Sarge and D6, H5! That stuff is funny!

I can't imagine the shit storm if the NYT had refused an Obama op-ed.

As much as I don't like McCain, (He's not a conservative) He's right on this point.
In McCain's submission to the TIMES, he writes of Obama: 'I am dismayed that he never talks about winning the war—only of ending it... if we don't win the war, our enemies will. A triumph for the terrorists would be a disaster for us. That is something I will not allow to happen as president.'

I need an emoticon that says "Gee, I thought if we nominated McCain liberals would cross the aisle to vote for him"

13. First it needs to read like he's not texting someone on a cellphone.
Then, he can worry more about content.
I suspect the NYT correctly assessed the piece not as a statement of what McCain will do, but as a running attack ad against Obama. The piece must be really craptastic if the NYT rejected it. They print a lot of shit these days. Liberal media, my ass!!
:tongue:

and that ladies and Gentlemen, is why I will be voting for McCain in Nov.
