Quite a nice piece. Krugman manages to hit every talking-point trope they've been trying to sell the public, even the ones that are already crumbling away. This guy's like a WWII Pacific Japanese soldier, still fighting for the Emperor in 1977.

Since I am one of three adult Americans who have hypertension, I really shouldn't be reading Krugman!

The real deceptions and lies which will be uncovered will happen when, and IF, Kerry signs the forms to release his records.

Krugman is the slimiest of the slime at The Slimes!

This guy doesn't even begin to know the meaning of the word "freedom".

President Bush has no positive achievements to run on.

Unless you count the liberation of 50 million people and capturing or killing 2/3 of Al-Qaeda's known leadership as a "positive achievement".

"...Yet making those statements was itself a heroic act..."

Tell that to the 5 million Vietnamese the Kmehr Rouge killed after we left.

More nonsense smears from Krugman, chief Kerry cheerleader from the Slimes.

President Bush has no positive achievements to run on.

I guess liberating 50,000,000 people in 2 countries, cutting taxes, guiding the country out of a recession inherited from Clinton's economic policies, guiding the country through the first foreign attack on U.S. soil since the War of 1812, and deterring terrorist attacks since then don't qualify as "positive achievements" to idiot Krugman.

This is just the beginning. Kerry is supposed to pick up on this theme in a speech at Cooper Union in NYC tomorrow. Funny how the Slimes always seems to have tomorrow's DNC talking points today...

"Fifteen months after George Bush strutted around in his flight suit...."

I kind of liked George Bush's "strut", didn't you? He sure looked great in that flight suit. Didn't see anyone on board turn their back on him. :)

I predicted a bitter and ugly campaign too, and now Honorable Veterans have called on Kerry to be truthful about his record and he responds by suing the FEC to stop the ad, threatened to sue the group for slander/libel, demand bookstores not sell the book, demand the media not carry the ad, demand the media not report on them, demand the president to shutdown the ad/stifle free speech, demand the president denounce them, and even went so far to investigate every little blurb in their credit history, divorce proceedings, criminal files, etc to be put in a little brown book and passed around to friendly journalists to smear these veterans.

I agree with author, we should have an open and positive campaign. Tell John Kerry to answer to the charges brought by the men who served with him!

About the only thing he didn't do was quote from pat buchanan's latest anti-Bush book.

If it doesn't, here's the message we'll be sending to Americans who serve their country: If you tell the truth, your courage and sacrifice count for nothing.

Here's a message from an American who is serving his country: (1) You are an idiot, a lemming, and a 'girly man'. (2) Your article is a monument to emotionally charged ignorance. (3) Don't presume to lecture others about telling the truth unless you have some of it on hand.

politicization of homeland security
By that he must mean the ACLU's campaign against so-called racial profiling. ;')
Airport Security
by Dennis Miller
3/15/2002
You really want airline safety? Make the airport screeners fly on a plane once a week. And if you think the rent-a-guards manning the scanners at your airport appear unfocused or distracted, you've never been to LAX. I've seen security personnel turn down the volume on the metal detectors so they can debate whether or not Yasmine Bleeth is hotter in person... Everybody quit whining. To those of you who find a pat down and a thorough investigation of your carry on luggage an invasive violation of your civil liberties... You don't like someone poking around your precious duffel bag? Try having strangers attempt to identify you by the mole on the left side of your nutsack dangling from a corn stalk in some field in Nebraska and then tell me where's the greater loss of privacy.
Civil Liberties
by Dennis Miller
February 22, 2002
Currently the ACLU is upset because Arabs and Muslims are being unfairly profiled. Unfairly? You always hear that the majority of Muslims and Arabs are law-abiding. Hey, the majority of any group is law-abiding. But you don't leave your front door wide open at night just because the odds are in your favor.

While I think some sort of profiling is necessary, I am troubled by the way it's being interpreted by the irresponsible. For example, there was Louisiana Representative John Cooksey, who called on police to pull over anyone wearing, quote,"a diaper on his head and a fan belt around it." You hear how ignorant that is? Completely overlooks the threat posed by people with a parachute around their nipples and a lemon zester dangling from their Adam's apples.

Now human rights advocates are up in non-arms about our indefinite detention of suspected terrorists. You think it's inhumane to detain them here? If we really wanted to **** 'em over, we'd send em back to Afghanistan.
George W. Bush will be reelected by a margin of at least ten per cent

Yet making those statements was itself a heroic act - and what he said then rings truer than ever.

No it wasn't. It was a cowardly act. If he had come back and said 'I participated in war crimes, I would like to face trial', that would have been a heroic act. Instead, he came back and said, 'I participated in war crimes, vote for me in November'.

People in Massachusetts must be awfully dumb.

Here's Krugman again arranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The Democrat party adopted corrupt Clintonistas as their leaders, picked the worst of their top candidates, and is desperately trying to re-define itself as the Viet War Vet-friendly party that will fight terrorism... but it's all so sad and much too late.

The liberals are whistling past the graveyard of their own ideology, stubbornly acting as if they are still in control.

It's fun to watch the death of a perfectly good party. Their only hope is a full sweep of the decks, purge the leadership of Dixie Mafia, race baiters, fags, Clinton cabinet attack operatives, lapdog media anchors, America haters, conspiracy crackpots, socialists, and aging hippies.

Anything short of this, and the modern Democrat party relegates itself to thirty years of irrelevancy.

Krugman's scratching pleas for Kerry notwithstanding.

The Democrat surrogates are desperately trying to revive their mortally wounded candidate.

No competent editor of a legitimate newspaper would ever print this drivel by Paul Krugman. No university worthy of its title would employ Krugman as a professor, teaching young men and women advanced subjects.

But here is this article, and this journalistic wh*re actually is an Ivy League professor. How can one explain such facts?

Well, the "newspaper" involved is the New York Times and the university at issue is Princeton.

Ne-VER-mind.

I predicted "an ugly, bitter campaign - probably the nastiest of modern American history." The reasons I gave then still apply. President Bush has no positive achievements to run on...

The enemies of America (domestic and abroad) have been holding antiBush rallies here and abroad, dragging his name through the mud, writing crackpot conspiracy books, making countless crockumentary films "exposing" the evil of President Bush, and launching blogs, sticker & graffiti campaigns, and otherwise running an ugly bitter campaign.

President Bush is not behind the Swift Vets book, interviews, or advertisements.

What is this negative campaign that George W. Bush is running and why should he play it "straight" when the opposition is all negative. There is NO "Elect Kerry" campaign, it is all ANYBODY BUT BUSH.

Count any 4 years in Clinton's reign of error and see who's administration has been more effective in confronting terrorism. That is the single biggest issue on the table. If the nation is not secure then there is no government (so no social programs).

John Kerry has said he has a plan that will save lives. Unfortunately rather than save lives he will withhold his "secret plan" until he "wins". He sounds like the $50 haircuts/$5 brains who anchor local news and say, "Could what you have for dinner KILL YOU TONIGHT? Find out at 10..."

Almost a year ago, on the second anniversary of 9/11, I predicted "an ugly, bitter campaign - probably the nastiest of modern American history."

Him and everyone else predicted that. Didn't Krugman also predict that the collapse of Enron would end up being a bigger story than 9/11? Funny how he doesn't mention that prediction anymore.
