I’m nobody to judge the merits of Krugman’s Nobel Prize. By all accounts, he has done great economic work during his career. His problems became acute when he developed BDS and became a darling of the far left. Any semblance of credibility the man’s work has won him is so far in the rear view mirror that I doubt he can see it any more.

It’s really simple. The reason your comments haven’t been posted is that Paul Krugman isn’t looking for the truth. He simply craving the adulation.

Krugman will admit his errors when people in hell can eat snow-cones…

They spout the old talking points that the GOP was against civil rights for 40+ years, they see things in black and white vs. grey, blah, blah, blah.

Never a student of facts, the left conveniently forgoes facts like these:

The Republican Party was not so badly split as the Democrats by the civil rights issue. Only one Republican senator participated in the filibuster against the bill. In fact, since 1933, Republicans had a more positive record on civil rights than the Democrats. In the twenty-six major civil rights votes since 1933, a majority of Democrats opposed civil rights legislation in over 80 % of the votes. By contrast, the Republican majority favored civil rights in over 96 % of the votes.

Can’t wait to ride back into political power over this sorry bunch.

I mean, clearly someone is keeping score, that seems to be the point here. So what’s the answer?

Neither was Bush like Hitler, nor USA like pre-War Germany.

If you understand that these guys think they are “the ruling class”, it’s a lot easier to understand everything that happens.

You comments aren’t allowed on Krugman’s site. Krugman won’t be questioned by the likes of you. You’ve risen above your station and need to learn your place.

It works for the Obama/Gates/police thing too. The police officer was stupid because he didn’t understand that Gates is a top member of the ruling class at Harvard.

Also health care and a zillion other subjects.

I read some of the letters they published. You don’t want to be in that company.

There must be a word for an irrational person who calls everybody else irrational. Those folks are all having a convention on Krugman’s blog.

“cognitive dissonance” for a start.
Truly, the left does a LOT of projecting – it’s pretty transparent, if you are looking for it.

…United States?
If you crave one party government, this is Ground Zero.
The executive, The Senate, The House are all in Liberal hands. The Media, granted an institutionally elite status as watchdog, is essentially a cheerleading squad for the Liberal and Progressive agenda. Today, we don’t have Joseph Goebbels, “If you tell a lie often enough, the people will believe you.” or Leni Riefenstahl “Triumph of the Will”, but we do have Paul Krugman, Michael Moore, Keith Olbermann, Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd, and ‘Pinch” Sulzberger, all busily working overtime spinning Liberal fairy tales.

..this morning’s reports out of the NYT alleging that GWB wanted to send the military into Buffalo, NY in 2002, is simply “Pinch” and his organization doing their best impressions of a WWII destroyer laying down a smoke screen as a counter for the current Health Care debate, with its focus on “death with dignity” for seniors as a way of cost cutting “Soylent Green” style, and THE OBAMBI’s rapidly falling popularity polls beginning to be noticed.
“Whip up a little “Bush Derangement Syndrome” out there and we’ll have them eating out of the palms of our hands soon enough again.” At least that’s the prevailing opinion in the NYT’s editorial staff meetings anyway.
Franklin Roosevelt was busily rounding up all persons of Japanese descent on the West Coast and ferrying them to detention centers in the US interior at roughly the same time frame of the WWII conflict. Bush was only thinking about acting.
Your daily edition of smoke and mirrors out of the NYT.

As is the NYT and other old time media outlets. I would be shocked, truly shocked if he ever became critical of Obama’s policies. Krugman has only one role now, democratic party media drone, bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…zzzzzzzz…zzzzz

You (or anyone really) might consider attacking his flank. This means getting this information and the story about self-serving censorship injected within venues that are widely read by moderates/liberals and more readily accept comments without such paranoid scrutiny.

Krugman will lose respect among his journalistic peers, almost behind his back, not only due to the fact that he got his facts wrong, but more importantly and embarrassingly because he’s afraid to face the fact that he got his facts wrong.
