New York Times apologizes for article claiming Ron Paul is a White Supremacist
"Editors’ Note: The Ron Paul Vid-Lash
A post in The Medium that appeared on Monday about the Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul and his purported adoption by white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups contained several errors. Stormfront, which describes itself as a “white nationalist” Internet community, did not give money to Ron Paul’s presidential campaign; according to Jesse Benton, a spokesman for Paul’s campaign, it was Don Black, the founder of Stormfront, who donated $500 to Paul. The original post also repeated a string of assertions by Bill White, the commander of the American National Socialist Workers Party, including the allegation that Paul meets regularly “with members of the Stormfront set, American Renaissance, the Institute for Historic Review and others” at a restaurant in Arlington, Va. Paul never attended these dinners, according to Benton, who also says that Paul has never knowingly met Bill White. Norman Singleton, a congressional aide in Paul’s office, says that he met Bill White at a dinner gathering of conservatives several years ago, after which Singleton expressed his indignation at the views espoused by White to the organizer of the dinner. The original post should not have been published with these unverified assertions and without any response from Paul."
Take a look at the comments section, where bloggers really let the Times have it!
Deserved, readers!!
Because the New York Times DIDN'T MEAN the apology!!!!
Otherwise, they would never have printed THIS:
"Whose Century Is It Anyway?" New York Times editorial January 7, 2008
The general election for president is still a ways off, but the New Hampshire primary campaign is providing a preview of the ultimate contest. So far, it’s not looking so good for the Republicans. On Saturday night, ABC News held back-to-back debates among the candidates for each party’s nomination. The contrasts were vivid.
The six Republicans, who came first, were a study in grays, hunched over their desks like the officers of some restricted men’s lodge. The only signs of life came when they all poured disdain on Mitt Romney — Iowa’s big spender and big loser — or Ron Paul, who is so far behind in the polls we wondered why they bothered."
This IS the SAME PAPER that CONTINUES to PUSH LIES, right, readers?
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state." -- Joseph Geobbals (NAZI)
Yup, that's what AMERIKA'S "NEWSPAPERS" are for, and the NEW YORK TIMES is the BEST AT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
