Mokhiber Assails William Kristol and the New York Times

On Friday, Jan. 11, 2008, Russell Mokhiber, who's the editor of the "Corporate Crime Reporter," led a demonstration in front of the New York Time's office, in Washington, D.C. It was directed at the insufferable War Hawk, William Kristol. He has recently been hired by the NYT, as an Op ED Page pundit. The rally centered on a severely wounded Iraq War vet, Tomas Young. A bullet shattered his spine and paralyzed him "from the waist down." Mr. Young was featured in Phil Donahue's film, "Body of War." In a very moving article for Counterpunch on Jan. 9, 2008, Mr. Mokhiber, after reviewing the movie, underscored the need to protest Kristol and the NY Times.

Every American is complicit in the Palestinian tragedy and we must stop it by doing what's necessary...stop the money to Israel..all of it..and NOW!

[JesusofNazareth1]

Thank you for speaking out! The New York Times is fucking shameless. William Kristol should be in hiding, disgraced and alone -- NOT getting hired by the world's most influential newspaper. And people need to wake up now and see the NYT for what it is.

"they need to be reformed google: secret cia wars"

Yeah we needed those secret wars to be able to win the cold war. If we hadn't used them communists would have cropped up and taken over more and more countries.

No neocons like Kristol, no americans occupying Iraq, no Irai insurgents, no injured war vets.

[MrXfromPlanetX]

The video "Orwell Rolls in His Grave" explains it pretty well.

Watch the PBS documentary "Buying the War" Bill Kristol helped con the American people into thinking there was a connection between 911 and Iraq.

I will admit I once believed it. I originally voted for push and supported the war. I watched a documentary called "Why We Fight" and it changed my life.

Both Dem and Rep need to stop standing by leadership that's defective. It's no healthier than an abused spouse staying with the abuser. It's not unpatriotic to admit we got conned.

Scew you and Kristol, my brother is getting shipped out over LIES.

Neocons should be heating tortillas as the taco stands, they've been wrong. W-R-O-N-G.

FLIP TACOS

(TAR AND FEATHER, ANYONE?)

No actually he has said he wont get rid of the CIA, just stop them from doing things like assassinating and instating leaders, drug smuggling, and actively supporting terrorism. And a George Bush presidency isn't sustainable, you're about to find that out personally. You either have no idea what that word means or you're the average uninformed moron. I'm thinking the latter. But anyways yea GO MCCAIN!

[Drugsdrugsdrugs]

Listen to this guy. Is he joking? Kristol lied about the true reasons for the war. Now not just the Iraqi's are fucked, not just the veterans, not just the stability of the region is fucked, but we're fucked. Because it turns out wars cost money, in this case trillions of dollars. Soon a financial backlash will become obvious enough for even you to see, in the form of your savings rendered worthless and economic ruin. You don't have to believe me, Im not as good of a liar as Kristol. Just wait.
