Anyone who loves this country has to be saddened.

That's not the only qualification! Tom Daschle is saddened too!

Joel Feinberg Bump -- once did a philosophy seminar looking at his Doing and Deserving.

Yeah, but it doesn't explain why Krugman hates Bush. One is left to surmise that it is because Krugman is a socialist. But the interesting thing about it is that Bush himself is reasonably center or the road politically.

For whatever reason, the far Left is out in the open and in attack mode.

I never realized there were rational Nadar supporters.

[Snerfling]

Plenty of people like Nadar, the French ballonist; it's Nader with whom I have a problem.

Thanks for posting this. Even more reprehensible than Krugman are the phoney conservatives on FR who post Krugman's lies/hatred of GW posing them as legitimate news.

[Grampa Dave]

fyi

A little insight to the hatred of Krugman for GW.

How many of Krugman's lies are posted here on FR by those who hate GW more than Krugman and disguised as so called conservatism.

Krugman is a despicable Bush-hater. This author has it right - Krugman has blamed everything down to the pebble in his shoe on Bush. That is not logical or thoughtful at all. The only reason he does this is because of his Bush-hatred.

[Grampa Dave]

Another look at the lunacy of Krugman.

"Krugman's "economic" columns consist, in the main, of criticisms of President Bush's policies. The recent blackout, for example, was President Bush's fault. The California electricity crisis was President Bush's fault. Everything that happens in Iraq (or the Middle East generally) is President Bush's fault."

This is what most of the "news" media has devolved into. They take each day's news and spin that news such that everything bad is blamed upon Conservatives.

There is no honest presentation of mere facts, sans commentary and spin, in most of today's media.

Very good article from none other than a local Naderite.

[MeekOneGOP]

Thanks, Grampa ! Good article ...

A very thoughtful analysis. NY Times' columnist Krugman deserved evisceration. I admit to being a so-called "Clinton Hater," but always characterized myself as a "Clinton Corruption Hater," a distinction with a difference: Unpresidential Behavior, not limited to the sexual harassment of young employees, but rather focused on the performance of the Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the U.S. In other words, my opposition was not policy-driven.

Clinton was entitled to enact his agenda and make appointments when he could garner legislative support. That's the democratic process and it should be revered and protected as sacrosanct.

I don't get that same warm and fuzzy reassurance from Bush Haters. But is it weren't for well publicized voter fraud, the Gore recount shenanigans, the Torricelli Hail-Mary maneuver, and countless examples of dishonest rhetoric -- all separate from misplaced policy priorities, Republicans wouldn't have fared as well as they have in recent years.

I read newspapers and magazines (see, e.g., Jonathan Chait, "The Case for Bush Hatred," in a recent issue of The New Republic); I watch public-affairs programs on television (cable as well as network); I visit Internet websites (including blogs); and I talk to people (friends, colleagues, students, neighbors). The depth and breadth of animosity toward President Bush astounds me.

Maybe he should expand his circle of contacts a bit. A majority of voting Americans don't hate President Bush (if polls are to be believed).
