Lots of Republican Toes in the 2012 Waters, but No Rush to Dive In (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/15/us/politics/15repubs.html?_r=1&ref=us)

So I saw this link on Fark, and had to click to see if Paul was mentioned, and how he was slandered. But after doing my control+f search, Paul was NOT EVEN MENTIONED.

Here is the slew of people deemed "news worthy" by these two NT slimes writers:



Pawlenty
Barbour
Romney
Palin
Pataki
Thune
Gingrich
Huckabee
"The roster of potential Republican contenders also includes [emphasis added, to point out the exclusivity they imply, as though the list includes no others but these three] Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana, Representative Mike Pence of Indiana, and Rick Santorum"

They also include a short blurb about the Tea Parties:


But the field is still evolving, with a full complement of governors, members of Congress and former elected officials testing the political waters, enticed by the rise of the Tea Party movement and new energy among grass-roots activists who helped bring a Republican resurgence to all tiers of government, from the county courthouse to Congress.

No credit to RP supporters as being the core and originators of many of these groups?

Neither of these authors have an unscathed record: Zeleny was busted by newsbusters (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=10&ved=0CEcQFjAJ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnewsbusters.org%2Fpeople%2Fjeff-zeleny&rct=j&q=Jeff%20Zeleny&ei=yALiTInVAcrmnQfjo9nPBQ&usg=AFQjCNGm8_LOpo302Y29SZCB29vm5ueuCA&sig2=q9H7MVsowjvCifeBZdt7Dg&cad=rja)for partisan reporting on assaults involving Congress critters, and has been called out by Michelle Malkin and the Atlantic for his patsy-ish articles.

Rutenberg doesn't get off any easier, having been called out by none other than Brad Delong (http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2008/10/jim-rutenberg-o.html) (Krugman lackey) via Todd Glitlin in 2008 for being a Hannity-drone in attacking Obama (or for being against Hannity, I couldn't bear to read it). He also was in newsbuster (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tim-graham/2009/06/25/n-y-times-reports-transgender-rights-there-are-no-liberals-issue-only-co#comments)'s coverage for repeatedly using "conservative" to denigrate the opposition to something to do with LBGT treatment, but failing to ever so collectivize what seems to be his own viewpoint.

So the NYT, in November 2010, already has sent the establishment lap-dogs to tell the populous who the acceptable candidates are for the GOP primary. Not that it is too surprising considering the history and ownership of the NYT.

Take this as the first sign that it's never too early to start campaigning. Or counter-campaigning, as the case may be.

If they're including Pataki and Santorum, they definitely ought to include Paul (and probably Johnson).

If they were an unbiased news source, yes they ought to. My point was not that they should have, but that this is just more evidence that they are a subversive organization and that the authors are paid rats to the system.

These "journalists" and most MSM outlets are useless.

It's up to us, folks. When Ron Paul announces his candidacy, do we want the first moneybomb to shatter all records, or not?

If we build it, they will come.
