First Chris Matthews compared Obama to Teddy Roosevelt, now the New York Times is comparing Obama to William McKinley.
And we all know the horrible fate that befell McKinley, right?:
The William McKinley assassination occurred on September 6, 1901, at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. United States President William McKinley, attending the Pan-American Exposition, was shot twice by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist.
And keep in mind that this isn’t some sort of casual, off-hand comparison. The point of the Times article is that Obama IS A WORSE PERSON THAN MCKINLEY because Obama didn’t invite the press into the Builtmore Estate.
But evidently the manse once owned by George W. Vanderbilt had no room for the reporters and photographers who follow the president everywhere he goes. They were left to stand outside in the rain, seeking shelter under the overhang of a guest cottage.
By contrast, an article in The New York Times from 1897 circulating among reporters on Air Force One on Sunday afternoon had this headline: “McKinley Visits Biltmore — Refuses to Enter George Vanderbilt’s House Unless His Newspaper Guests Can Go Along.”
I hereby denounce the New York Times’ irresponsible encouragement of dangerously unhinged anarchists. This country can’t afford such seditious rumblings in these troubled times.
Have you no shame, good sirs?
The history of assassinations and attempted assassinations has been drastically more often from what we call left wingers. Mostly hyper-Marxists.
Yeah but would an anarchist try to assassinate one of his own?
Steve, did you mean anti-christ? If so, no it wouldn’t kill one of its own. A kingdom divided against itself, and so on.
Obama’s just lucky Cheney only shoots people he likes.
Bilmore House is the largest privately held residence in the country. HUGE! There was room enough for everybody.
So why aren’t the monkeys rioting about how this is a coded message calling for the assassination of the President? Why aren’t we seeing demonstrations about how stupid the reporters are for not knowing their history? Why haven’t the MSM launched their talking-points about the irresponsible fringe-nuts? Why aren’t the papers filled with editorials about this irresponsible incitement to violence? Why hasn’t … oh, to hell with it!
Racist hating crackers at the New York Times !!!
It seems Teh One is avoiding the press. This isn’t the only episode where he has dodged the press, including lying to sneak out of the White House unobserved. What is he hiding? A misttress, crack pipe, George Soros?
Obama doesn’t talk to the press because his supposed “articulateness” is but another myth. Is “articulateness” even a real word? Anyway, without his teleprompter, he makes Elmer Fudd sound articulate.
“Builtmore” is what Mr. Carnegie did in constructing Biltmore House. It is a lovely place, delightfully Veblenian in its conspicuous consumption, and was the fantastic backdrop for one of the finest political movies ever made, Being There.
Shame!? We don’t got no stinkin’ shame!…….The Editors, NYT.
