Paul Krugman Gives Up

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2563646/posts

...But things got worse for the professor. Matching Krugman’s repeated claim that the “stimulus” was too small, Sean produced peer-reviewed economic science from Alesina, who examined 92 attempts at stimulus since 1970 in OECD countries and found that tax cuts, but not spending, stimulated. Krugman stammered a reply, but the damage was done; his acolytes had learned that economic science existed that contradicted Krugman’s claim (central to Obama’s “stimulus” legislation) that government’s spending your money helps an economy.

...By July, Krugman had lost his “Battle of the Blog.” On July 23, Latrina commented, “Who is this Sean from Florida? He takes everything that [the] Professor [says] and shreds it, piece by piece. He shouldn’t be allowed to post his comments on this blog since he seems to be winning all the debates. We progressives need to stick together and embellish our talking points without someone from the outside pointing out fallacies in our ideology.”

Is there a bigger sad-sack than Paul Al Krugman?
