One of the first dust-ups was his war with the WSJ editorial page over trends in inequality. This was a couple of years ago, at least. He's probably been on their shit-list ever since.

Lately his rhetoric on the budget, tax cuts, and Soc Security re: the Bushies has been pretty strong, especially for the NY Times. Some of his best columns, in fact, tho I disagree w/some of the budget stuff.
