Both the New York [I]Times[/I] and the Philadephia [I]Inquirer[/I] did not mention Sontag's denigration of white people in their obituaries. I suspect this was true of other newspapers as well. If correspondents noticed this omission in their local paper, please post.

Her vicious treachery and lying were not noted by the media, but I tried to remind people of her duplicity. From my book: [QUOTE]Great American humanitarians were in the lead in advocating intervention in Bosnia. These for the most part were ones who advocated American withdrawal from Vietnam. [COLOR=Red]Jewess Susan Sontag during the war in Vietnam had gone to Hanoi in 1968 and had been impressed with an ethical society whose rulers loved their people. She had thought their only defect was that they were not "good enough haters". She professed admiration for their caring treatment of captured American pilots. [/COLOR] [1] She told the trade paper for New York intellectuals that one could only be happy about the victory of the communists in Vietnam.[2] Her behavior was identical with the French Communist Party which had worked for the certain defeat of the French army in Vietnam.[3] [COLOR=Red]In the early years of war in Vietnam Ms. Sontag described the white race as the cancer in world history.[/COLOR] During the continuing crisis in Bosnia she felt inspired to help those besieged in Sarajevo. She produced plays. She must have felt her presence was such a positive one for morale it warranted importing extra food into that besieged city. One might have wanted to ask if at night she went out with a rifle and shot Serbs. From Hollywood came an appeal that America must learn what the meaning of "never again" truly meant. To break the siege these late-blooming warmongers insisted Mr. Clinton must act unflinchingly. They demanded air strikes if necessary. These worthies insisted Mr. Clinton did not need Britain, France, Russia or the Pentagon. Their commander-in-chief, Mr. Clinton, must lead the world in decency and righteousness. They did not wish to see the Muslim people of Bosnia destroyed. Among the signatories were cultural heavyweights such as Robert Altman, Jeff Bridges, Robert DeNiro, Michael Douglas, David Geffen, Henry Jaglom, Barry Levinson, and Billy Wilder. Mr. Jaglom had seen the dedication of the Holocaust Museum and was shaken. He thought an effective way of coping with his trauma was sending a letter from a small group of people who had generally been supportive of Mr. Clinton.[4] This emotional response was prompted by Elie Wiesel, a Nobel peace prize winner, professional concentration camp survivor and untitled leader of the Holocaust industry, who pointed out the slaughter was occurring while the United States was doing nothing. Senator John McCain sympathized with this impulse, but pointed out that as a nation we could not confuse a desire to do good with viable military options. [5]

Of course the media left her anti-White speech out, who do you think controls the media?
