The N.Y. Times' Race Baiter in Chief

  By Donna Cole


  On his N.Y. Times' blog, "The Loyal Opposition", editorial board chief Andy Rosenthal latest post,"Maybe They Should Just Start Super Pacs" argues against freezing federal worker pay to offset the cost of extending payroll tax cuts. The predictable liberal position. We can put this debate aside because that is not why I am writing this. I am writing about the author of that piece, Rosenthal.


 Besides being the chief of the editorial board, Rosenthal is the leader of the N.Y. Times' race baiters. In reading his work over time, one would be led to believe that Rosenthal literally thinks every Republican, even minority Republicans, are all racists.


 Here is what Andy wrote when the stories of Herman Cain's extramarital affairs first broke and many Conservatives defended Cain, who is black, against the liberal media's attack;

"Ms. Coulter and Mr. Limbaugh, and others on the right, also claimed the hubbub was racist. Mr. Limbaugh said the left was smearing Mr. Cain with “the ugliest racial stereotypes” and Ms. Coulter said liberals “are terrified of strong, conservative, black men.”

"That’s ludicrous, unless you think the simple reporting of allegations against an African-American man is an act of racism. This line is especially hard to take since it was the Republicans who perfected the art of injecting racial fears into modern-day politics and have conducted an unrelenting personal attack on President Obama that sometimes has not-so-subtle racial overtones. By the way, Mr. Cain has been injecting “ugly racial stereotypes” in his campaign for months."

 The double standard there should hit you like a baseball bat. Andy has so invested himself in this idea that all those on the political right are racists, he cannot mentally separate any Republican opposition to the President from being racist. Even to the point of implying a black man is a racist for his criticism of the President, another black man. You want to talk about ludicrous ?



 Rosenthal uses his blog, on the NY Times' website, to constantly launch these baseless racist attacks against Republicans. His latest post, the one I referenced in the beginning of this piece, has one of these attacks. But first, here are just a few examples of Rosenthal's previous accusations, these are not taken out of context because each statement stands on it's own;  ( The first word in each quote links to the original post it was taken from.)

"There has been a racist undertone to many of the Republican attacks leveled against President Obama for the last three years, and in this dawning presidential campaign. You can detect this undertone in the level of disrespect for this president that would be unthinkable were he not an African-American."

 "One thing I could have made clearer in my blog post is that racially tinged and outright racist attacks did not begin with the election of Mr. Obama. They have been going on for a long time, and yes, particularly from Republicans."

 "So yes, for the record, the worst opposition to desegregation in the South came from Dixiecrat racists. (I can’t resist mentioning that most of them then defected to the Republican Party.)"

 "The debate over immigration reform has had a river of racism running through it."

 "In our time, the great fight against racist policies is over immigration reform."

 "But it is also a fact of American life that the Republican Party is stained by a vivid streak of racism, social intolerance and xenophobia."

 Rosenthal's latest post continues to prove that he cannot separate real issues from his fantasy Republican Klan rally. Here, he is writing that federal pay has already been frozen for two years and then this;

"Besides, the vast majority of federal workers are not highly paid people (oh and many of them are minorities who tend to vote Democratic and therefore are politically expendable to House Speaker John Boehner and his caucus)."

 What ? Since many federal workers are minorities, Republicans are targeting their pay because of this ? When one steps back, and thinks about how truly absurd Rosenthal's statement is, it is almost comical. This is all part of a concerted effort by liberals to take any chance, no matter how small, to keep painting Republicans as racists.



 However, it's not funny at all, it's disgusting and it is a lie. A lie liberals are more than willing to tell, over and over, because they have nothing positive to promote their agenda with, so they bury their failures under the lie of right wing racism.



 Liberals want to divide, to pit folks against each other along racial lines.This is beyond their Class Warfare, pitting people against each other based on income. This is part of their Culture War, to pit folks of different races, ethnic backgrounds, sex, religion, sexual identity, etc., against each other based on those differences.



 The President, his party and their liberal supporters, like Rosenthal, want to have nothing to do with uniting people in the American Dream based on our exceptionalism as a whole. They are fully invested in dividing us for their own political goals. It is the classic divide and conquer strategy.



 This flys in the face of what America is supposed to be all about and what liberals claim they want America to be. The liberal vision of social equality comes only at the expense of others. It is not a vision of lifting some people up, it is one that pulls others down.



 While these race baiting lies are told by Rosenthal on his blog for the reasons I described, you need to remember he is also the chief of the New York Times' editorial board. The editorial board is supposed to be the voice, the conscience of a newspaper. Andy either writes himself or signs off on those unsigned, nameless editorials that represent the New York Times.



 Rosenthal is the lowest form of life in the pond scum known as the liberal media, a race baiter. This is the man the N.Y. Times has chosen to be the voice of their conscience.


 Now, you tell me where the hate really comes from ?
