Joe Klein of Time Magazine
Summary (posts follow):
Obsequious hack columnist for Time Magazine. Blogs at their Swampland site. Explicitly supports illegal immigration; almost every other national figure who supports illegal immigration only does so implicitly.
When Barack Obama released an ad containing with an outrageous smear of Rush Limbaugh, Klein only renounced the ad two days later, after Jake Tapper, the New York Times, and several others had pointed out the smear. His renunciation is linked from the eighth and last update to this post.

Mitch Daniels is weak on Indiana immigration bill, apparently only supports least effective parts - 04/13/11
... even being urged to do so by Joe Klein (someone who explicitly supports illegal immigration).
The only part of the bill that he supports in the interview is that dealing with sanctions on those who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Yet, getting a conviction for that is a very high bar to clear and happens only rarely. Companies know how to play games: claim that the documents they were presented...
Joe Klein of Time got anti-Sarah Palin talking points from Journolist - 07/22/10
... One of those listening in was Joe Klein of Time Magazine:
Joe Klein of Time stopped by with an update on the latest from his magazine: "We're reporting that she actually supported the bridge to nowhere. First flub?" ...Klein, who displayed an independent streak in other circumstances ("anybody who knows me knows I do my own thinking," he said in a Wednesday interview), seemed to exude more...
Washington Post admits coverage tilted to Obama, doesn't admit their incredibly biased coverage for him and their lies for him - 11/08/08
... example of how bad it was, even Joe Klein eventually came out against the ad.
* Anne Kornblut solicited tough questions for Sarah Palin, but as far as I was able to determine when she had the chance she didn't ask BHO anything of note. In at least one case she simply acted as a transcriptionist for BHO; one of her articles misled about Palin's stance on Iraq and was later silently corrected by...
Reason Magazine tries to pretend they opposed Barack Obama - 11/05/08
The "libertarians" at Reason Magazine offer a list of their recent coverage of Barack Obama (reason.com/news/show/129922.html), and from that list those who don't read their Hit and Run blog frequently might think they actually opposed him. In fact, they served as a bit of a cheerleader for him and almost always showed a clear bias towards him and against McCain (as pretty much every visitor to...
The Non-Partisan Case Against Barack Obama - 10/29/08
... bad. See also this ad which even Joe Klein eventually called him on. In one case he even admitted to having been deceptive.
To summarize: please do not vote for Barack Obama.
~~~~~ BONUS ~~~~~
20. VERY QUESTIONABLE FUNDING
Obama has received hundreds of millions in campaign contributions, and millions of that are questionable. Unlike McCain or Clinton, the Obama campaign didn't try to ensure...
Joe Klein misleads about Barack Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers - 10/16/08

Scott Shane/NYT's pro-BHO spin on Bill Ayers/Barack Obama collaboration - 10/04/08
... supporter of illegal activity Joe Klein offers "Embarracuda", an obvious attempt to deceive (time-blog.com/swampland/2008/10/embarracuda.html). Needless to say, he downplays the Obama-Ayers connection and even works in a BHO talking point about how BHO was just a child when the Weather Underground were terrorizing the U.S.: Over the weekend, [Sarah Palin] picked up on an article in The New York...

Barack Obama lies about Rush Limbaugh in Spanish-language ads - 09/17/08
... technique (link).
UPDATE 8: Joe Klein offers "Take It Down, Barack" (link). Klein is such an obsequious hack that even Jake Tapper calling BHO out wasn't enough. It took a far greater authority to spur him to action: "The New York Times editorial board--once again calling a lie a lie--slams both McCain and Obama for their Spanish-language ads about immigration policy. I've given up any hope...
Joe Klein of Time Magazine explicitly supports illegal immigration - 10/24/07
... massive illegal activity. Here's Joe Klein of Time Magazine coming out explicitly in favor of illegal immigration [1]:
It's long been my belief that the GOP hole card in 2008 is going to be a rancid furriner-bashing anti-illegal-immigrant smear campaign.
Joe Klein/Time Magazine: just a sleazy liar - 05/31/07
In his latest column, Joe Klein of Time Magazine discusses Mitt Romney, and says:
[Romney] has flipped on immigration, to better suit the Mexican-fearing tendencies of a segment of the Republican base.
That's a sleazy statement which tries to give the impression that opposition to massive illegal activity and massive public and private corruption is due to xenophobia and racism.
