The News That Fits
Long criticized for its brand of journalism, The Washington Times makes a habit of publishing the work of extremists — including the wife of the newspaper's managing editor

Although he might not know about the Times' questionable record, President Bush gave top Times staffers — including Francis Booth Coombs, fifth from left — an Oval Office tour in January.

Feb. 9, 2005 -- Marian Kester Coombs is a woman who believes America has become a "den of iniquity" thanks to "its efforts to accommodate minorities."

White men should "run, not walk" to wed "racially conscious" white women and avoid being out-bred by non-whites. Latinos are "rising to take this country away from those who made it," the "Euroamericans." Muslims are "human hyenas" who "smell blood" and are "closing in" on their "weakened prey," meaning "the white race." Blacks, Coombs sneers, are "saintly victims who can do no wrong." Black solidarity and non-white immigration are imposing "racial revolution and decomposition" in America.

Coombs describes herself as just "a freelance writer in Crofton, Maryland." But this is one writer who's a bit more well-positioned than she lets on.

Marian Kester Coombs is married to Francis Booth Coombs, managing editor of the hard-right newspaper The Washington Times. Fran Coombs has published at least 35 of his wife's news and opinion pieces for his paper, although his relationship to her is not acknowledged in her Times bylines.

And that's not all. Fran Coombs has presided over the Times' republication of articles taken from white supremacist hate groups, not to mention allowing a key employee at the paper to write fawning pieces about the same groups.

1. Yeah, they're led by the Moonies

with their own crazy cultish brand of conservatism. Extremist nutwings define their editorial page and even many of their "news sections."

2. I wonder how she feels about

the Korean scourge which is running rampant in 'Merica.
Well, maybe its only one crazy assed Korean.

3. It's not a "habit" . . . it's policy. . .

4. Moon set up 'Washington Times' as a tool

in his openly expressed motive to DESTROY the US of A.

So, why exactly, do "conservatives" from Ronald Reagan to Rush Limbaugh and all the freepers and wing-nuts in between embrace the 'Times' as "their" paper?

Why do these Nationalistic Nuts worship a tool that is dedicated to destroying their Nation?

Are they that much of a Death Cult that they orgiastically embrace the tools of their own destruction?

What sickness is this?
