PRESTOPUNDIT -- A Good Blog at a Great Price. Guaranteed.

The NY Times on the Republican Party:

They have built their strength in the South by appealing to white resentment of civil rights policies, and sometimes by discouraging voting by blacks, as they did last year in Louisiana's Senate runoff, which the Democratic incumbent, Mary L. Landrieu, won anyway.. When it comes to hard-hitting campaign advertisements, they have used everything from Willie Horton's image to the suggestion that Senator Max Cleland, who lost both legs and an arm in Vietnam, was unconcerned about national security.

Of course, if truth matters at the NY Times -- which is always a legitimate question -- the Willie Horton ad was not a GOP ad. This is one of those mythologies created by the Left / the Press which are just too good not to be "true", but turn out to be true only in the NY Times sense.

Is it just me, or do these Timees really loathe -- I mean loathe -- red state Repubicans? The bile as good as drips off the page.
