Blood libel in the Star-Ledger: The Koch brothers blew up that fertilizer plant in West Texas

Single-handledly, I might add. Just look at the headline, and the photo below it.

The article makes it clear — if the Koch Brothers aren't prevented from using their money to influence politics, PEOPLE WILL DIE! Nevermind that they're fifty-ninth on the all-time donation list, behind at least 18 different labor unions.

Because progressive groups who spend money on politics are knights in shining armor with hearts of gold. It's only evil rethuglicans who thwart the forces of light with their dirty oil money. And just to make sure we know which side the Ledger is on, here's the highlighted quote:

The Koch brothers are not only affecting elections and thwarting governance; they are hurting human beings.

Got it? The Koch brothers kill people. With their bare hands, while cackling malevolently too.

The mendacity of the Ledger's blood libel is staggering. And par for the course.

Harry Reid couldn't have said it better himself. And come to think of it, he probably did, while giving the Ledger their marching orders.

Elsewhere in the paper, it's noted that Obamacare has forced thousands of low-income New Jersey children off of their state-subsidized health care plan. This is presumably for their own good, and if their parents have to pay three or 4 times as much for less coverage, well, that's not really "hurting human beings." Mainly because Obama said it isn't, and the Ledger never contradicts their Dear Leader.

Then, right below the despicable blood libel, there's the ever-laughable Paul Mulshine, lamenting the most recent round of layoffs at his den of bylined democratic party operatives, while disparaging bloggers in general, and Glenn Reynolds of InstaPundit in particular.

The typical blogger doesn't want to sit in a zoning board meeting writing about variances. If he's a left-winger, he's sitting in front of his computer railing about how the Koch brothers are ruining the ozone layer. If he's a right-winger, he's complaining about Benghazi while misspelling it.

The hypocrisy is mind-boggling. Right below a mendacious screed against the Koch Brothers, here's Mulshine whinging about bloggers who don't attend zoning board meetings, as if that's the ticket to entry into the world of Real Journalism.

Have you ever seen a Star-Ledger article about a zoning board meeting?

Nope, didn't think so.

They're too busy doing Harry Reid's bidding.
