Shameless Historical Revisionism From the Quislings at the New York Times

"Huddled Masses - Turned Away", by former New York City D.A. Robert Morgenthau, is a pro-immigration puff piece that was published in the OpEd section of today's Times.

It starts with a blatant lie :

If the morality athletes at the New York Times did a simple Google search, they would learn that Lazarus's pro-immigration poem is not "inscribed" at the base of the statue, as Morgenthau claims. It was added in 1903 on a meager little bronze plaque, and occupies a two-foot square section of the Statue Of Liberty's museum space, located inside the masonry foundation. That's hardly "inscribed at its base"; the poem also has no relation to the Statue's 1886 dedication, having been added a quarter-century after. 

Even Paul Auster has pointed out that the pro-immigration lobby's co-opting of the Lazarus myth: 

But such historic realities are no match for the Times' propaganda campaign of historic revisionism.

Why would Morgenthau want to deliberately falsify the history of the Statue of Liberty? Again, a simple Google search sheds some light on the man :

Robert Morgenthau

Hmmm.
