Who Will Protect the President and the Nation from the Unsightly Conduct of Senator Charles Schumer and Pinch Sulzberger?
By MassNews Staff     
            Sen. Chuck Schumer has become such a dire enemy of President Bush that he can sit quietly while a friend says that the Senator would enjoy firing a bullet into the President’s head.
            The Senator is having a difficult time understanding 1) what is permissible by him in a democracy in his official role to elect more Democrats to the Senate this fall and 2) what is literally treasonous behavior.
            Someone must challenge him and the New York Times, which gives him his huge megaphone and is owned by his close friend and mentor, Arthur O. Sulzberger, Jr. (Pinch).

 Huge Change from 9/11
            This is a huge change from Senator Schumer’s behavior in 2001 when 9/11 had him singing the praises of the President:
            ''I spoke to the president and he told me it's a blank check,'' the Senator said on Sept. 12. ''He's been really forthcoming and open about helping New York. He called me within three hours of the event. I believe he [will fly to New York and] will be here in due time. He's been a real friend in this crisis, and we don't need people taking shots at him right now.''

            As the New York Times wrote at the time:

            “Senator Charles Schumer was near tears as he spoke on the Senate floor of the vast number of New Yorkers with relatives and friends who are missing. 'I know of a call,' he said, ‘someone on the 104th floor who worked for the good firm of Cantor Fitzgerald -- we can't find hardly anybody from that firm -- who called his parents, told them he loved them, and they haven't heard from him since.’”
            He said on camera at the time: ''This is Pearl Harbor, 21st century.''

            It all changed when Schumer realized that this tragic event was uniting the people of the nation behind the President -- and this would hurt Schumer’s efforts to elect more Democrats.

Pinch Sulzberger Controlled Schumer
            Sen. Schumer was horrified by what happened at the World Trade Center, but his mentor, Pinch Sulzberger tried to keep things in check at the New York Times even though his staff there mirrored the concern of the nation.
            Now both Schumer and Sulzberger are united in attacks against the President. Talk of America being at war is forbidden. It is no longer a “war” as it was when all called on the President to do something in the days after 9/11. Now the war against terror is a figment of the President’s imagination in order to unite the people behind him and make political points.

Sen. Schumer is Winning

            Much of the American public is losing its will in the fight against terror as Senator Schumer attacks the President very effectively every night on national television and the New York Times leads the fight.

            All citizens, particularly women, are distraught at the carnage. How could anyone not be? And the number of American men who have engaged in war to protect their country have dropped precipitously, which makes it easier for a demagogue like Schumer (who also has never experienced wartime service for his country) to operate.
            The President’s approval rating shot up five points on Zarqawi’s death but it will not last long with Schumer and the Times blasting away at him every day with no one defending him.
