You are correct, his statements are politically motivated. However, it doesn't take courage to spew your political venom on those that disagree with you. It doesn't take courage to make statements, on this of all days, aimed at causing pain to those that lost loved ones on that day. It doesn't take courage to s*** on the memories of those that lose loved ones in NYC, DC, PA or in the resulting war on terror.

All it takes is contempt and hatred for your fellow Americans, and a complete lack of class or sympathy for those lost. A willingness to cause pain to others on this, a day for rememberance. Something this scumbag has mastered.

Since Krugman is a hack who only knows to spout the party line and has never been correct about anything, why take him serious now?

Huh? I didn say anything about race either. And I said pretend it was a negative article about Obama and Sharpton, congress and the mainstream media would be outraged.

I say we pull out and let those boys hash it out. They haven't been able to get their s**t together for thousands of years. What makes anyone think they can turn it around in less than 15 years?

Happy hunting, fellas. We'll be home relaxing while you fight for the right to be with your 72 whores.
They're still searching for the WMDs.

He's saying that 9/11 was used as an excuse to start useless wars and for scumbag politicians to grandstand. Point out how that is wrong.

Okay, since reading isn't your strong suit...can you count? It is sentence 3 in the quoted post.

I wish I could have the mental ability to just not see things I disagreed with, like post 7. I think yours is nearing superhuman.

Uh huh. I should read words into posts you didn't say, and if I don't I'm delusional?

That's is the most creative way some one has defined delusional I have ever seen. Congrats.

And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.
From that aspect he's absolutely correct.

Anyone with half a brain knows he didn't intend to **** on what happened to the innocent people directly impacted by 9/11.

So if Mr. Krugman thinks W was scaring the fecal matter out of us, what is his opinion of Obama the Apologist?

It's a shame a brilliant economist has become an embittered, partisan.

I laughed out loud when I read this article. This will probably be today's big terrorist attack, from the left of course. Thank you Mr. Krugman, for continuing to reveal to America just how libs think about this country.
