It’s no coincidence that an article by Krugman entitled “The Conscience of a Liberal” should be so short. Nor is it a surprise that every word in it – “including ‘and’ and ‘the'”, to borrow from Mary McCarthy – is a lie.
September 11th, 2011 @ 2:33 pm
More leftist projection. Anything that happens, good or bad, leftists use it as an excuse to promote their own agendas. More government, higher taxes, and of course, more regulations on more and more aspects of American society. So I guess its only natural the son-of-bitches should assume the same of everybody else.
Screw ’em, I’m not giving these pricks any time on this day on my own blog. That’s not meant as a criticism of you for doing so Smitty, its just a personal thing on my part. They just clearly don’t deserve a forum on this day, in my opinion.
September 11th, 2011 @ 2:36 pm
Krugman can go pound a bag of sand straight up his ass.
September 11th, 2011 @ 2:41 pm
Also, I’ll repeat the same thing I always do when I run across anything about Krugman. Economists, not just him but all of them, are nothing but frauds at best. Most of them are at least half crazy. I’m a Tarot reader, and as far as I’m concerned if what Krugman does qualifies as a “science” then I deserve no less consideration. It’s no wonder the country is so screwed up. That’s what happens when you take fraudulent bastards like Krugman with any degree of seriousness. This jackass would be selling snake oil in another time. Why does anybody even know his name, let alone give him a forum in a national media and award him international prizes?
September 11th, 2011 @ 2:47 pm
If there were justice in the corporeal world, he would have been struck by lightning while writing that title for his piece.
Twice.
September 11th, 2011 @ 2:56 pm
Krugman is like Obama — you can he’s lying when his lips move, or his finger type.
September 11th, 2011 @ 2:59 pm
For a conscience, one needs moral and ethical standards. Liberals shun shun such standards.
Hence, liberals have no conscience, which makes the very title of Krugman’s spew a false premise, and the rest of the article an outright lie.
September 11th, 2011 @ 3:03 pm
Why is it necessary to be family friendly responding to this POS?
September 11th, 2011 @ 3:07 pm
Krugman made Asshead Of The Year with this little POS post.
September 11th, 2011 @ 3:14 pm
Krugman says he’s not going to allow comments “for obvious reasons,” those being that every comment would ragefully scream hatred and the spiteful hope for his painful and sudden demise. The title of his piece is “the conscience of a liberal,” which might as well be the legs of a snake, or the wings of a fish, because you just ain’t gonna find one. Hey, I just gotta say if you lived in my neighborhood Kruggy, you’d find me waiting outside your door. Paul, you’re the epitaph we’re all going to celebrate.
September 11th, 2011 @ 3:35 pm
You can often tell from the title what a column or blog is (or isn’t.) “The Conscience of A Liberal” tells me before I even read a line that it’s basically full of arrogant self-righteousness, a monument in text to hisself. You basically know right away it’s not worth reading unless you are the same kind of person and share his delusions.
“The Other McCain” tells me these folks don’t take themselves too seriously and have realistic concepts of themselves. These are qualities the world, and especially Washington DC, could use a lot more of. Not to mention the NY Times.
September 11th, 2011 @ 3:35 pm
This is despicible. Krugman should be ashamed of himself. Now of all times to publish this. What a jerk.
September 11th, 2011 @ 3:43 pm
Isn’t it more than a bit of pretentiousness for Krugman to title his column, “The Conscience of a Liberal”? However, I suppose, “I am more compassionate and smarter than any conservative, so there!!!” would have been too long of a title to fit in one line.
September 11th, 2011 @ 3:49 pm
Much like Justice Ann Walsh Bradley*, Krugman is a fighter. He learned the rules by observing what works, and he is winning the game he’s playing.
To get upset by anything Krugman says is a reflection of the person getting upset. Just as a liberal, and I mean precisely as a liberal, who gets upset by a Rush “tweek of the day.”
Now there is right and wrong – Rush is right/Krugman is wrong – yet they both play a game where we talk about them and they cash checks.
The reason I have such respect for this blog, RSM in particular, is the original reporting, the basis for that talked about now and then, and the ideology (kinda). That takes power away from Krugman by moving eyeballs away from his profit-making licentiousness**.
*http://isthmus.com/daily/article.php?article=34586
** From THE LEXICON: A cornucopia of wonderful words for the inquisivitve word lover
” licentiousness (noun) The disregard of accepted standards of meaning, behavior, analysis
The terminological licentiousness of the day is very striking. In his book Paul Johnson quotes Castro as saying, “of course we’re a democratic society. We have a democracy everyday, inasmuch as we’re expressing the will of the people.” It’s that kind of wordplay which is the essence, as Orwell told us in another connection, of totalitarianism.”
September 11th, 2011 @ 4:12 pm
Typical. On the 10 year anniversary of 9/11/2001 Krugman writes an ode to self, a – yeah sure there’s something large and significant going on here, but still, look at me, look what I can do.
The words hubristic narcissist are not sufficient to describe the deluded self absorbing egomaniacal insanity which evidently dominate this parasite’s DNA.

September 11th, 2011 @ 4:33 pm
This seems well said, but I still want to rip the table I’m sitting at loose from its moorings, and throw it through th ewindow. Or punch this clown’s smirk off his face.
September 11th, 2011 @ 4:40 pm
I wonder how many subscriptions will be cancelled at the NY Times? And how far their web traffic crashes in coming days. Perhaps it is time for the Conservative side of the Blogosphere to simply and completely ignore the Times. I bet we push more traffic their way than the left side does.
September 11th, 2011 @ 5:29 pm
Oxymoron…I thought that was the name of the medication he’s taking.
September 11th, 2011 @ 5:30 pm
Spewing anti-American hate is the only way this dung-eating Obama lickspittle can get attention. Otherwise, he’d just be the guy who stands on street corners shouting at the passing cars.
September 11th, 2011 @ 5:34 pm
And apparently the column (okay, quarter-column, maybe) has been pulled. There’s all the comment it needs, right there.
September 11th, 2011 @ 5:44 pm
I agree wholeheartedly. He wrote that brain rot knowing full well it would be talked about all over the internet. Then he can point at the conservative movement in general and talk about how he just proved what a bunch of angry people they all are, that we’re all just out for spite and revenge. That’s exactly why I’m not going to post about it on my blog, and frankly he doesn’t deserve to be given any kind of a forum on 9/11. The best punishment for somebody like Krugman is obscurity.

This is what Islam means to me. The video shown in the post at moonbattery is must see on this day. This footage should be shown in a split screen with the video Stacy posted earlier, in every school in the country the last school day before Sept. 11. It should be shown in theaters with the trailers.

September 11th, 2011 @ 7:04 pm
The title is actually quite accurate. Those words are emblematic of what passes for the conscience of a liberal.
September 11th, 2011 @ 7:13 pm
Do not condemn all economists for the sins of the few. There are important insights from economics–incentives matter, pretty much everything has a cost, and exchange is positive-sum.
Krugman’s 9-11 post is much like a comment from a troll–it stirs up a lot of sound and fury that signify nothing. Try to ignore not just trolls but also columnists when they are in troll mode.
September 11th, 2011 @ 7:16 pm
I believe you’re on to something, the most effective way to destroy them may be to ignore. This doesn’t mean no responses what so ever, but that the response’s should be more oblique.
September 11th, 2011 @ 7:24 pm
As Walter Sobchak said in a different era : He’s cracking. That about sums up Krugman. No need to be unChristian and enjoy it, but his mercy for us hasn’t been evidenced in any manner that I’ve seen and we can’t give him any benefit any doubt of course because of that.
The most damning inconsistencies in P.K.’s ouvre relate to his textbooks (in which he’s been very successful) and his political droppings (for which he’s surely convinced himself of his own heroism and courage, and also been very successful at) but he doesn’t care, and neither do most of his followers.
September 11th, 2011 @ 7:33 pm
I care not one whit (ht American Digest for that wonderful word) about punishing Krugman. Above my pay grade.
For the world to focus on things other than P.K. to the extent at present the world or its inhabitants do would be all I should like to hope to see come into fruition.
September 11th, 2011 @ 8:35 pm
I’m afraid you’ll have to be Christian enough for both of us in this matter. If justice prevails and therefore Krugman is reduced to scurrying from dumpster diving (as his only source of sustenance) to what ever hole he’s forced to hid in, while on his way people point at him and hiss, that would bring some small amount of joy.
September 11th, 2011 @ 8:44 pm
Thanks for linking that. I’ll post it myself here in a bit. That really brings the tragedy more in focus.

From American Thinkerby Stella Paul”But as it turned out, millions of Americans were not ready to defend freedom. Despite the “United We Stand”
September 11th, 2011 @ 9:03 pm
Leave it to an asshat like Paul Krugman to bash the US, while benefitting from her freedoms; what a schmuck. I like the way Krugman writes as if he’s above it all. He’s certainly not responsible for any of the monkey crap that’s been thrown around the room.
This kind of dementia is the reason little old ladies and 6 year olds are being groped at airports. Because we certainly wouldn’t want to OFFEND anyone by profiling. It’s also the reason our borders remain wide open, so terrorists can waltz across and kill our border control agents with guns they received from our own ATF.
If Paul Krugman had his way, 9/11 would be “Hug a Muslim” day. Sorry, I’m too much the intolerant raaaaaacist for that… but I can live with it.

September 11th, 2011 @ 9:06 pm
Krugman typifies the modern left. He has nothing to offer on any subject but abject stupidity and hatred for his own country. What I find amazing is that the New York Times is so brazenly corrupt it pays the little shit to do it.

Theo Spark is a great blog, I don’t go there nearly enough. He and Courtney both have this bad habit of posting pics of hot babes that I know I’ll never get a chance to meet. But I will check this out.
September 11th, 2011 @ 11:02 pm
I might be mistaken here, but I’m pretty sure that’s actually the name of his blog, not just this one column.
September 11th, 2011 @ 11:04 pm
Here’s a video you guys might like, a video I got from Theo Spark of Celtic Battle music with 9/11 imagery. Fair warning, if you go to Theo’s site you might stay awhile whether you want to or not. He’s got some kind of shit on his blog now that’s making it next to impossible to load.
September 11th, 2011 @ 11:14 pm
Here is a counterpoint to Krugman’s Krap:
This morning my family attended a combination Honor Flight salute and 9/11 remembrance ceremony. Hundreds of people stood along a mile of highway to salute and cheer veterans on their way to DC to visit the WWII Memorial. The local firefighters hoisted a huge sign on their equipment thanking the veterans. A pair of F-16s flew over the convoy, as well. What a joyful celebration!
Then the crowd walked over to the nearby fire station and attended a 9/11 remembrance ceremony. The fire chief worked on “the pile” on 9/12 and shared his memories of those days. (Note to Obama: remembering is appropriate. Forgetting is not.)
After we returned home, our 13-year-old daughter was so inspired that she wrangled some balloons and a helium canister, wrote inspirational messages on the balloons, and let them fly.
September 12th, 2011 @ 12:32 am
What’s sad and , well, just sad, is Krugman is the one cashing in. Krugman is the one attacking his fellow countrymen. Krugman is the one using this day to further his greasy little agenda.
The guy is a sniveling rodent. That is what his fellow leftists love about him.
