Seems like the Boston Herald sinks to new lows on a daily basis . . .
Wonder when they cloned Goebbels and hired him as their chief editor.

Just take a look at the number of anti-everything not kissing the ass of the chimp in chief articles on their front page:

http://www.bostonherald.com

Bashing everything from Moore (via the title of the article even though they are forced to acknowledge the massive pre-sales of tickets), to 1/2 a dozen articles bashing Kerry. These guys are hacks of the lowest sort.

5. I can't even stand the Sports
Gerry Callahan?? What a xenophobe. Buckley, the I-I-I-man who made up the Nomar story last year. The paper is a rag.

he used to own it, but he sold it a few years ago. They kept the style though and strive to the NYPost of Boston. Aim high....

6. They must be sinking under the weight of the Chicago Sun-Times
Let's just say they are purveyors of right-wing hallucinations of the lowest sort.

9. Just Remember Herald Is Printed In "Liberal Massachusetts"
wonder how a paper like that can survive in MA -- perhaps the state is not quite a liberal as everyone claims.

17. Thanks. That Was My Point
so when the national press talks about Kerry, the liberal senator from the liberal state of Ma. - remember, it isn't so liberal.

The governor of Mass has been a republican - since 1990 - four governors (the first two left office early) Weld, Cellucci, Swift and Romney.

10. Not too subtle attempt to be the NY Post
Th Herald is in it's glory trashing the DNC conventioan and hometown Senator Kerry. The person I despise the most is sportswriter/bigot Gerry Callahan.

14. Callahan was prattling on the other morning
on the radio about how awful it is to stereotype a whole group of people (in regards to Barry Bonds' comments about Boston). I almost choked on my coffee. This is the same guy who's made a living through blanket condemnations. How many times have you heard him write or say something about those horrible people "The French"? Hypocrite and asshole.

19. Why should the Herald be any different than Imperial Amerika?
Which, to our eternal shame, also sinks to new lows every day.
