Time Retracts Anti-Bush Racial Smear
The Democrats' media allies have eagerly promoted the party establishment's
race-baiting campaign against President Bush and the Republican Party. But some
of them are getting tripped by their own lies. Time magazine tried to fabricate an
uproar by claiming that President Bush was being "racially insensitive" and pandering
to the rebel vote in Dixie. Oops. Here's a correction it has now issued: Just Like
Clinton! "The article 'Look Away, Dixieland' [Jan. 27] stated that President George
W. Bush 'quietly reinstated' a tradition of having the White House deliver a floral
wreath to the Confederate Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery — a practice
'that his father had halted in 1990.' The story is wrong. First, the elder president
Bush
did not, as TIME reported, end the decades-old practice of the White House
delivering a wreath to the Confederate Memorial; he changed the date on which the
wreath is delivered from the day that some southern heritage groups commemorate
Jefferson Davis's birthday to the federal Memorial Day holiday. Second, according to
documents provided by the White House this week, the practice of delivering a
wreath to the Confederate Memorial on Memorial Day continued under Bill Clinton as
it does under George W. Bush." Sorry, Democrats, but your entire platform of racial
demagoguery is blowing up in your faces by alienating voters. The Washington
Times reported Thursday that "two major new polls show the public is on Mr. Bush's
side" in opposing racial preferences in college admissions. Yes, a majority of
Americans oppose discrimination against people of any race. And what
organizations carried out those polls? Why, none other than Time magazine and its
doppelganger, Newsweek.
