If this is the best he can do, Krugman should be thankful that we don't treat old pundits with faulty logic like we treat horses with broken legs.

Oh, and SCREW HIM. I've had dogs smarter than this guy.

Hot tar and feathers are too good for this traitor.

A liberal ashamed of the way he acted on and after 9/11?

I thought not, his allies in this world, the islamo's killed a lot of Americans, that the islamo's didn't kill more that day, did not bring down the Bush Presidency, That America wasn't destroyed that's what this piece of work is ashamed of.

He isn't ashamed of ENRON nor his action with ENRON.

In short This clown is an asshole who cannot manage to STFU and STFD on this day of rememberences for the ones who died.

Try this one on for size, Krugman. How would you like someone to argue that the Holocaust was cynically used as an excuse to expropriate land to found Israel? That argument is every bit as valid as yours, which is to say, not at all.

Now FOAD.

"...And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war because the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons."

Insert that video here ---- of the leading Dems at the time, going on and on about how Sadam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and Hillary saying "what is President Bush going to do about it?" while standing on the steps of the Capital Building.

Krugman can suck my fucking dick.

Me firtht!

I find your comment interesting and want to hear more.  I visit this site often and find your comments valuable.

Krugman,

I see you wrote something stupid and outrageous and it was not fake.

Why wanting no replies to what you wrote?

Because you suddenly realized you were too drunk to think clearly but had to write something...anything....to keep your job?

What you said was too much of a window into your twisted soul but you were late to meet your deadline?

You realized you might sound jealous of the President of the United States and the Mayor of New York taking actions while all you could do was quiver under Barney Frank's bed?

You suddenly realized that you had hit rock bottom, had no place else to go and hated long goodbyes?

Mental health issues, I imagine. As most liberals do. I'm guessing something along the lines of an inferiority complex.

Fuck Google. Dogpile and Bing both have nice tributes up.

Per Krugman, "The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned."

The memory of 9/11.  I wonder if Krugman is referring to the actions of Barack Obama who is trying to transform 9/11 into into a sterile, 'Day of Service.'  A day of service where Obama appears at a photo op handing out food. 

We are in the twilight zone here.

I guess that option was more acceptable than the picture of someone pissing on the flag.

You have to hand it to the Terrorists.

They didn't fly the planes into the New York Times building because they were smart enough to know it would forever be a day of National Celebration.

A few months ago the vast majority of business economists mocked concerns about a ''double dip,'' a second leg to the downturn. But there were a few dogged iconoclasts out there, most notably Stephen Roach at Morgan Stanley. As I've repeatedly said in this column, the arguments of the double-dippers made a lot of sense. And their story now looks more plausible than ever.

Thread winner. Please pick up your internets at the window.

"The Conscience of a Liberal"

Well at least the title rings true.

Ten years of 9-11 is all about Krugman, apparently.

Krugman is the only one that should have been in those towers on 9/11.

Fuck that total waste of skin.

Where are the trolls who lecture the moron herd on why Krugman is a well respected scholar and confidant of Barack Obama?

Not sure but I think the cob-loggers are holding them off. CAC mentioned something to that effect earlier.

Wanting to tear ass into a libtard?

"Te (sic) atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. "

----

According to the tried and true truth of liberals, "what they accuse is what they are":

So the fact that democrats used Iraq as a wedge issue and cashed in is Bush's fault too?

A little background - They were for Iraq, before they saw it could be monetized into votes. Then they became against Iraq, and spent the following years accusing Bush of lying to them, FOOLING them into war for oil. Nevermind that we didn't get or even try to get any oil or that Bush was basicly stupid, (but fooled them?).

Absent the oil, they haven't come up with any other ulterior motive for Iraq. And after Bush left office, suddenly there were no more protests being covered, no more Code Pink bullshit, but the war is still going in Iraq, to the extent it was ever a war in the first place. My opinion is the war was a continuance of a renegged ceasfire agreement

As a side note, the democrats could have defunded the war - but would dare not disturb the vote "cash cow" they stumbled upon. Stich had the votes to stop the war one year after Bush "fooled them" into voting for it. Cunt also had the votes to start impeachment proceedings agains Bush, and if memory serves - republicans called her on that one day, basicly all voting to to start impeachment, but the democrats quickly changed their votes to NO, so that the measure would fail.

Going by you owner's behavior, you should check your stool for sporidium.

Hi Andrew!  <waves vigorously>

The fascists are coming unglued and absolutely killing the dimocrat party.  Awesome!!  Way to go Krugsickle.

The amazing thing (or maybe not so amazing after all) is that this was read and approved by an Editor at the NYT.  So it's not just Paulie Krugnuts' demented ramblings, but the approved demented ramblings of the editorial board at the NYT.

And Carlos Slim subsidizes this, so the Mexican billionaire approves too.  So yeah, it's easy to attack Paulie Krugnuts as a pyschotic leftist propagandist (which he is), but this is the approved mind-thought of the NYT.

If comments HAD been allowed, it would have been illustrative of the chorus of agreement that would have followed. Dissent would have been edited out, at least the most angry dissent.

This is who they are.  This is the thinking (if you can call it that) of the people on the Other Side of our politics in the US.  This is what not a few people in the Obama Administration really think.  This is why Obama must be defeated in 2012. 

We all hope for the bankruptcy and failure of the NYT, because it has become an Old Grey Whore in its dotage, and not worth the paper or photons that makes it readable.

Mr. Krugman,

I know you didn't mean to, but you did all of us on the right a favor. Whenever someone asks me about the difference between a conservative and a liberal, or tosses out liberal talking points to avoid a real discussion, I'll simply show them your piece. It speaks better than I would ever be able to as to what you and your ilk are and what you aspire to.

Posted by: Village Idiot at September 11, 2011 02:24 PM (utXSy)

You can get there through the Big Journalism link if you really want.  No need to directly link to that piece of garbage article.

Krugman is a despicable, small-minded little excuse for a man. I cannot understand why the Slimes keeps him on their payroll.

I can only hope the NYT receives a ton of emails about this awful, self-righteous, pompus ass's uncredibly insensitve, false, and demeaning post. In addition, he should see more than a few protestors outside their main office tomorrow morning. A very public display of revulsion is warranted for his article, one in which he shows his cowardice by not even allowing comments.

He is certainly no economist, judging from his former position with Enron. He is definitely no American, judging from his article this morning. The nation should demand that he be fired immediately, then ostracized. His words should never disgrace our sensibilities again. He should be shunned and the mention of his name should be followed by spitting.

Furthermore, he should have his ass whipped.

When our country is in trouble, when our country is under attack we can count on Paul Krugman to point out how wrong our country is.

When's he moving?

Paul Krugman is a god to us.... He hurls poo even better than we do.

We have created a shrine of poo to him, in his likeness. 

Posted by: Blaster at September 11, 2011 02:28 PM (Fw2Gg)

Yeah...I passed a pretty good-sized Krugman this morning.

If anyone used the War on Terror as a wedge issue, it was the left and people like Krugman, who excoriated George W. Bush for Guantanamo and enhanced interrogation techniques and security and surveillance measures, but have remained silent as a liberal Democratic President, Barack Obama, has continued the same policies.   The last sentence of the post is the giveaway:  Krugman is a coward who doesn't want people to be able to respond with free speech against his traitorous garbage.  

Is remembering the firefighters who died on 9/11 really an "occasion for shame"?   Is remembering the "horse soldiers" who went into Afghanistan in the weeks after the attack to defeat the Taliban really an "occasion for shame"?   How about the Seals who killed Osama bin Laden.... an "occasion for shame"?    How about bringing Saddam Hussein to justice?  How about the purple fingers of Iraqi women voting?  How about the thousands of American boys who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan?   Are they all just "occasions for shame"?  

Teh Krugman is a sick, sick man, and the decadent old nursemaid that is the New York Times needs to change his adult diaper, pronto?   He's starting to smell.

My suggestion?  Don't bother making comments to/about Paul Krugman; instead, flood Punch's inbox and mailbox with comments.

If this were colonial days, Krugman's keister would have been hauled off to the stocks LONG before now so that the rabble could pelt him with rotten produce and cow manure.

Obviously little Paulie didn't get quite enough swirlies in public school.....

No, I'm not talking about Sept. 11; I'm talking about the Enron scandal.

One of the great clichés of the last few months was that Sept. 11 changed everything. I never believed that. An event changes everything only if it changes the way you see yourself. And the terrorist attack couldn't do that, because we were victims rather than perpetrators. Sept. 11 told us a lot about Wahhabism, but not much about Americanism.

The Enron scandal, on the other hand, clearly was about us. It told us things about ourselves that we probably should have known, but had managed not to see. I predict that in the years ahead Enron, not Sept. 11, will come to be seen as the greater turning point in U.S. society.

It's apparently a coordinated effort. I saw a tweet that pointed to an online column with the same theme.

Just more libtard projecting.

If you want to know what a liberal did or will do, just listen to what they accuse others of doing. They just can't help but reveal themselves.

I think it's fitting that Krugman leads the doomed proggie left.

No words. No words at all.  Hard to imagine that much insanity in one person's mind.

Nice to see the NYT endorse his words. I say to the NYT, be proud of your employees, put Krugman's words on the front page.

Krugman talks about fake heroes, then takes a crap in the punchbowl, says "drink it" and says "I'll take no comments--for obvious reasons".

Well Paulie boy there may be fake heroes, but you are a genuine, fully authentic, certified, gonorrhea AND syphilis infected prick.  You are the real thing.--s Stupidity Transmitted Disease.

Wasn't Krugman an advisor to Enron at one point?

Liberals like Krugman have become an occasion for shame to America.

Liberals were once upon a time reasonable people with a different point of view. While I considered their views wrong,I never considered them to be the "enemy" either. But people like Krugman are different. They are consumed by hate for America because the American people do not embrace the flaming leftist,statest dictatorship he wants us so badly to become.

Just a note to Krugman,

The American people have always embraced FREEDOM and always will. As long as we do,you will always hate us for not bending our knee to your god.....government. Worship your god if you will Paul,but leave the rest of us who LOVE this nation,LOVE freedom,and LOVE the American people out of it.

The show of pride in the United States of America on this day obviously makes you sick to your stomach. The feeling is mutual. Your obvious HATE OF AMERICA does the same for me. EVERY day.

Teleprompter/Krugman 2012.

Slogan: Proud economic illiterates with shiny Noble prizes. One writes crap and one reads crap off a teleprompter. Get your progressive hate pellets. Only $10,000 a plate!

Just more libtard projecting.

This.

I can't explain the psychosis but it's true.

Any ideas?

I see nothing wrong with Mr. Krugman's piece. 

Or I wouldn't, if I weren't fish food right now.

NY Times is having a worse week than usual.  Here's Bill Keller, one of its poombahs, in a review of C. Hitchens' latest:

"If God does have a sense of irony, Hitchens will spend eternity in a town that serves no liquor and has no library."

Here's the relevant definition of irony:

"an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected."

If God gave Hitchens a big smile, told him the bar was open and that the library was all his...that'd be ironic.

How did these NYT types gain a reputation for brilliance?  They can't handle something as simple as an appropriate remembrance of 9-11 or the definition of irony.

Just remember, Krugman is from the same class of folks that Michael Moore is from in America.  Moore pretty much said that AQ shouldn't have attacked left wing Dem voting precincts like New York-after all, the lefties are on your side.  If 3,000 R voters were killed, the Krugster and those like Moore would ave danced in the streets like the Palestinians did.

I'm not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons.

This.  I laughed out loud, and kep laughing for quite a while.  Pesky little knat, teh klug.

Wanna bet you get a reply that's a 'Special Subscription Price Offer'?

What is it that Krugman finds shameful about 9/11?

Is it the death of Americans on that day or the death of the terrorists who flew the planes?

Is it the hardship it's cause countless of our people or is it the hardship it has caused Islam?

Is it the waving of the American flag in defiance or the lack of waving of a White flag in surrender?

Is it the remembrance of the leadership of a Republican president or is he pissed that a Democrat wasn't in office to receive credit for actions taken beginning on that day?

Every American citizen in this nation should be offended by Krugman's post.

If Krugman keeled over and died of a thunderclap coronary today, I'd break out the champagne. Then I'd find his grave and piss on it, then laugh in his family's face.

It is tripe like this that makes me realize that if terrorists drove a plane or fertilizer-laden truck into the Times building, I'd be quite alright with it.

They're not Americans. I barely credit them with being human.

F**k them.

FIFY

Paul Krugman: Professional Bien Pensant Deluxe, the poster boy of bien pensants worldwide.

Why is this toad-chaser not fired for this bit of Bufo alvarius-induced hallucnation drivel?

I wonder if the failure to correct the obvious typo "te atrocity" was not a passive-agressive move on someone's part - perhaps a decent man or woman trapped in that vile nest of vipers called the Times.

Krugman,

Aren't you the Nobel Prize winning economist who suggested to Greenspan in 2002 that he create a real estate bubble to get the economy going?

How dare you show your face in public anymore?

Paul Krugman stands on the heap of ashes that are the sacred bodies of American innocents to earn a paycheck.

Vile, and he thinks himself courageous for being vile.

Dear Mr. Krugman,

Some things I find shameful, post 9/11/01, are:

1--That the USA did not immediately strike back with WMDs, once the aggressors admitted their guilt.

2--That the USA did not revoke the visas of those from all known host countries of said aggressors.

3--That the USA has not achieved energy independence from the Middle East.

Those are only the top three, but you get the idea. 

The memory of that day is poisoned only by persons such as yourself, Mr. Krugman. 

Persons who continually shit on the United States and everything it stands for, those who apologize for the existence of a country which celebrates being different from the rest of the world, those who would have every life identical for everyone everywhere (except for their elite selves, of course) while shouting diversity! and tolerance!-- persons like YOU-- can simply KISS. MY. ASS.

Fuck you very much----

Stillwater

There is much more behind Krugman's comments, and it's not about 9/11. It's about Krugman the person. He is lashing out now, as he sees before him liberalism's best hope in his lifetime crumbling . They had it all, and Krugman has as much invested in this administration as Obama himself. They were swept into office with (in their opinion) with  a mandate. I recall Howard Dean on election night pontificating that Democrats will control Washington for the next 20 years.

As quickly as they came to power it all began to unravel. First the failed trillion dollar stimulus. Even today Krugman's answer is that it was not big enough. He has a career invested in failed theory, and now must insist that he is still correct. Then came the Healthcare bill. I beleive that is the moment history will look back on and conclude that its passage marked the end of the Obama Presidency.

For Krugman there is even more dissapointment as so much of what he advocates is behind the the failures in Europe that have unfolded for all to see during the very time this administration has worked so diligently to lead us down the same path.

Krugman the true beleiver, in the twilight of his career is forced to watch the failure of his own beliefs unfold all around him. Lashing out is all he has left.

Krugman's a professor at Princeton.

I am a alum of Princeton.

I am ashamed.

Mr. Krugman is doing exactly what I warned my two oldest sons of today. . .  He is part of the faction that will attempt to diminish the atrocities of 9/11 and will buffer future generations from truly understanding what happened 10 years ago today.  If people like Mr. Krugman make up university level academia, I can't say I'm interested in investing my middle class dollars in their "education" scam. 

The Twin Towers should still be standing, but I wait with great anticipation for the two towers of elitest academia and deluded journalistic media to collapse and be swallowed into the pit of hell.  Along with the death of bin Laden, this collapsing of both "institutions" will bring about great justice for freedom loving Americans and humanity WORLDWIDE.

Paul Krugman is to be pittied, his remarks in this article are pure projection.  As others have indicated in their comments, it is a reflection of his own personal failure that he cannot acknowledge.  The New York Times is as usual reflecting the absolutely maddening attitude of liberals who are "above the fray."  Look how disappointed they are in all the conservatives who refused to feel guilty because we fought back. 

The worst is his projection of "fake heroism" and opportunism upon G.W. Bush and Rudy Guiliani.  Neither have presented themselves as heroes.  Clearly Paul Krugman knows that on his best day, he could not hope to have the maturity, valor and integrity of either of these men.

Al-Qaeda's head of Public Relations speaks....

....and then bravely runs away.

Nah.  He needs shot.

Multiple times.

At close range.

With heavy calibrt weapons.

Mr. Krugman has a problem.  He enjoys being the center of attention at all times.

He's been jealous of 9/11 for ten years now and jealous of the government who steered America through those darkest days following.

Therefore, he pulls his poop from a loosened diaper and smears it on the pages of the New York Times.

This is Mr. Krugman's idea of Shock and Awe.

Krugman is, quintessentially, the kid who got his ass kicked all over the playground.  In my mind's eye, I can see him there, sitting on the ground after getting roughed up for the 50th time, blubbering, breath coming in great hitching heaves, cheeks streaked, fists clenched...and hating. 

That is what is most important: to hate. 

Purely, simply & unceasingly.  To never forget nor forgive his tormenters, to hate them for his own lack of courage to stand up for himself.

Ya know, Ayn was right about pity: it is, by far, the most heinous and despicable emotion possible to the human condition.  It shames both the one feeling it as well as the one for which it is felt: great, broad and bottomless sadness for that which is irredeemable.

God I pity Krugman.  Can anyone really imagine what it must be like to have to live in the solitary confinement of that tiny little mind?  To constantly feel as if you must justify your existence...to yourself?  To know that at the end of the day, when you lie in bed in the darkness and there is nothing external to hold reality at bay, that there is no escape?

Sweet Jesus do I pity that sonuvabitch.
