Note that the blog below doesn't even feign balance or honesty. And the comments are even worse. The comment that was closest to the Times' editors' hearts, and which they highlighted as #1 promoted the old discredited idea that Republicans have low IQs:
o Steve Bolger
o New York City.
Anything to distract from the IQ of people attracted to the Republican Party.
So, the Times lies about real IQ knowledge, re the low average IQ of Mexican illegal aliens vis-à-vis white Americans, and then promotes yet another lie, regarding Republicans' IQ. Way to go, Pinch Sulzberger!

Author of Study on Immigrants' I.Q. Leaves Heritage Foundation
New York Times
Jason Richwine, a senior policy analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation who argued in a graduate school dissertation that Hispanic immigrants were less intelligent than white Americans, resigned from his post with the foundation on Friday.
[Richwine didn't "argue" that "Hispanic immigrants were less intelligent than white Americans," he stated a scientific fact.]
"Jason Richwine let us know he's decided to resign from his position," the Heritage Foundation said in a terse e-mail statement. "He's no longer employed by Heritage."
The foundation declined to comment further, saying, "It is our longstanding policy not to discuss internal personnel matters."
Mr. Richwine was also the co-author of a Heritage Foundation study that criticized legislation in the Senate to overhaul the nation's immigration laws, citing high economic costs. The analysis found that the legislation would cost taxpayers roughly $6.3 trillion over the next 50 years.
But reports this week about the content of Mr. Richwine's 2009 doctorate dissertation, in which he said the lower I.Q.'s of immigrants should be considered when crafting public policy, set off a furor, with some [illegal] immigration advocates decrying his writing as racist.
[So, because the Open Borders Lobby condemns his work as "racist," it must be so?]
The Heritage Foundation had already come under criticism from both Democrats and Republicans for the study on the costs of the immigration proposal, and news of Mr. Richwine's outside writings further undercut the organization's attempt to help shape the immigration debate from the outside.
Supporters of the immigration bill welcomed Mr. Richwine's resignation.
"Racism and xenophobia have no place in the debate on immigration reform, period," said Jose Antonio Vargas, the founder of Define American, a pro-immigration group. "I hope this is a lesson for all sides that what the public is looking for is a fair and honest debate on immigration reform, not long discredited racial theories designed [sic] divide us rather than unite us."
[Ashley Parker declines to identify Vargas' background as a criminal invader, who has committed multiple crimes since coming here. She quotes his racial socialist boilerplate, as if it meant something, and as if he represented the American public, when the opposite is the case. It is Vargas, and those who think like him, including Ashley Parker, who are the racists.]
