Thread: Paul Krugman calls Rand Paul racist

  1. #1

    Default Paul Krugman calls Rand Paul racist

    He’s not unusual. There are genuine libertarians out there. But political figures who talk a lot about liberty and freedom invariably turn out to mean the freedom to not pay taxes and discriminate based on race; freedom to hold different ideas and express them, not so much.

    There wasn't really any doubt that Krugman is an idiot, but he is even bad at pretending he isn't.

    In a perfect world there would be no Krugman, he is perhaps one of the dumbest people to have ever walked the planet. I have two dogs with more sense.

    Krugman is less than an idiot. As Keynesianism becomes more obviously false, he has slipped to political pundit a la Olbermann. He is becoming positively irrelevant.

    Krugman's devolution has been sad to see. He was formerly a rather sharp economist, and I'd dare say perhaps deserving of the Nobel prize he received. To see him go from that to being a petty political troll is rather pathetic.

    Either way, Krugman and his ilk have been more prone to discriminate based on race, in recent times. Rand Paul merely defends Krugman's otherwise unpopular right to do so. You'd think he would be thankful...

    Paul Krugman is a racist and a race-baiter.

    "Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem." - Ronald Reagan
    "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself, and we must reject those who spread fear." - B4L update of FDR
    "The Ministry of Truth can turn on a dime, and the fury of the ignorant masses can be redirected at will." - B4L
    "Marxists become Fascists the minute they become rich, yet they retain the Marxist rhetoric." - B4L

    This kind of distortion and deliberate misunderstanding of Paul's positions makes me cringe.

    The policies that Krugman advocates hurt minorities the most, so I would consider him the racist.

    I wonder when Krugman is taking his comedy act on the road?

    why is it that some of you always brings up the bad things little worms say about Ron and Paul. Who cares what they think.
