Leave it to The New York Times economist Paul Krugman to continue to infuse his wacky partisan theories into an ongoing pandemic. Krugman retweeted lefty CNN Analyst Keith Boykin’s one-sided quip over Assistant to the President and economist Peter Navarro and Dr. Anthony Fauci’s reported dispute concerning the efficacy of the hydroxychloroquine drug. Krugman then used the story to spew nonsensical hyperbole against conservatives. He babbled, “May be relevant to note that there is a long, close association between right-wing activism and medical quackery.”

That’s OK, Paul.

I’ve observed a close association between leftist activism and economic quackery.

[nwrep]

Good one.

Is Wrong Way Krugman still downloading kiddie porn?

From the people that by amputating a healthy penis of a man and drilling a hole between his legs you can change him into a woman.

[Rurudyne]

I’m sure he will debate this on this blog. Just like all the other times. /s

[ncalburt]

How is Paul’s child porn investigation going ?

ay be relevant to note that there is a long, close association between right-wing activism and medical quackery.”

Said the closed-minded Democrat.

[Col Frank Slade]

Yea whatever happened with that ?

Bill Clinton tried to strongarm his way into receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. He didn't get it.

Obamala Barry Obama Hussein de Kenya received a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing but then launched 7 wars.

Monsieur le Professor Paul Le Krugman received a Nobel Prize for Economaniacs for ah ... for ah ... um ... [shrugging shoulders]

Never mind.

[mywholebodyisaweapon]

Krugman is an economic b.m.

Actually, I tend to associate medical "quackery" with the political left - not the hard-left of radical politics, but the Marianne Williamson left, the soft-left, the nicey-nice left of gay tolerance, liberal politics, environmentalism, and New Age religion.

It is here that you find the panoply of unorthodox remedies like aromatherapy, "healing" cards, crystal therapy, neo-Druidism, Wicca, herbalism, "Native American" remedies, smudging/clearing-the-air, Tibetan medicine, Chinese medicine, vibration therapy, Rolfing, psychic readings, past-life regression, yoga, "energy healing," homeopathy, and innumerable others.

Conservatives, on the other hand, typically rely on mainstream medicine, gruff I-take-good-care-of-myself-ism, sometimes supported by faith and prayer (but not REPLACED by faith and prayer).

And then there is all of this CBD oil quackery, heavily supported by the non-scientific ‘Rats.

[Maskot]

My God! Did these people ever grow weary of being wrong every single time about every single thing?

“Paul Krugman Spews Wacky, Partisan Theory: ‘Close Association Between Right-Wing Activism and Medical Quackery’”

Says the leader of the journalistic quacks.

[rightwingcrazy]

That’s old tech. Nowadays the science tells you to close your eyes and say it like you mean it three times, and then it becomes true.

[Bommer]

I’ve noticed, not having a clue on economics and working for a failed rag makes you turn to pediofilia.

[Gay State Conservative]

Unlike a broken clock Krugman isn’t even right twice a day!

yah...for “them” right or wrong is dependent upon whether something makes them FEEL good or bad.

Its really just that stupid
