Washington Times runs doctored photo of Elena Kagan

Never trust a convicted tax cheat like Sun Myung Moon to run a daily newspaper.

Moon's embattled Washington Times has once again proven it has absolutely zero journalistic standards - this time by publishing a doctored photo of Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan.

The photo shows Kagan wearing a turban and accompanies a far-right op-ed that accuses Kagan of trying to introduce Shariah law to the United States. The accusation appears to be groundless. It's also unclear what the link is between Shariah law and turbans.

If anybody is trying to turn America into a theocratic state, it's conservatives who comprise the dwindling readership base of the Washington Times. Of particular note is Sun Myung Moon himself, who complains publicly that American-style democratic republics are Satanic.

Then again, it's not like many people even saw the doctored photo. If you want lots of people to see something, the Washington Times isn't where you want to put it.

  3. Awww, somebody's bitter. I suppose by "nobody", you mean liberals, who don't like anyone. Not even themselves.

    That never happened. Besides, everytime Republicans win an election, you say they cheated. Even in 1994, they cheated. You have no evidence, but you just know they cheated!

  6. Then what about all those polls in 1994 that showed the Democrats ahead? You're saying the Democrats cheated in those polls?

  7. So what? Polls in 1948 showed Thomas Dewey ahead. That doesn't mean Truman cheated.

  8. The polls were off in 1948 because fewer people had phones, genius.

  9. That's a stupid explanation. They didn't use phones back then.

  10. Besides, one poll showed Coakley and Brown tied. That didn't happen.

  11. Pollsters did use phones in 1948, dummy.

  12. No they didn't. Besides, just because Democrats were ahead in the polls, that doesn't prove anyone cheated.

  13. Besides, one poll showed Doug Hoffman winning in NY-23 by a landslide. Obviously Owens cheated.

  21. But don't let facts or anything get in the way of your irrational left-wingerism. Of course, is there anyother kind?

  22. How many things have you been wrong about just today, Gufus? Pretty much everything.

  23. "How many things have you been wrong about just today, Gufus? Pretty much everything."

    The liberal has broken down. He can't form a coherent argument. He has essentially ceded the argument.
