I find stories like this quite amusing. 
Times defends hiring conservative Kristol – Michael Calderone – Politico.com
The New York Times’ hiring of Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol to write for its op-ed page caused a frenzy in the liberal blogosphere Friday night, with threats of canceling subscriptions and claims that the Gray Lady had been hijacked by neo-cons.
What is about Liberals and intolerance for free speech? I mean, do liberals feel that threatened by this person? Amazing.
The Editor of NYT agrees:
Rosenthal told Politico shortly after the official announcement Saturday that he fails to understand “this weird fear of opposing views.”
“The idea that The New York Times is giving voice to a guy who is a serious, respected conservative intellectual — and somehow that’s a bad thing,” Rosenthal added. “How intolerant is that?”
I agree. While I might not agree with all of what Kristol says or believes, I think that trying to repress someone’s views is totally wrong. Kristol has a right to speak his mind, Just like Ann Coulter, Keith Olbermann and the rest of the political talkers out there.
This sort of goes along with that theory of both Political parties being intolerant of dissent. This happens on both sides, all the time.
