During the roundtable discussion on This Week, ABC’s Sunday political talk show hosted by Christiane Amanpour, Times columnist Paul Krugman ridiculed Tea Party candidates as “irrational” and “seriously strange” before he insisted that their irrationality is demonstrated by their inability to recognize that Barack Obama is a “centrist moderate President.”
Krugman asserted: “If we have a Republican Party that actually takes the White House, actually has control of Congress, but contains a large wing of these people, it's going to be incapable of making real choices. These are people who are as irrational as they seem in these ads.”
He soon parodied the views of Tea Party enthusiasts:
There are some seriously strange people running, thanks to the Tea Party....It's not just suspicion of government. We have people out there believing that this basically centrist moderate President we have is a socialist bringing Sharia law to America. None of that is rational.
I just puked in my mouth a little
FUPK.
"Centrist Moderate" my ass! More like member of the Central Committee - aka Politburo!
This guy is desperate...
pffft..Krugman thinks Pol Pot was a centrist moderate as well..
Krugman believes that Obama isn’t liberal enough.
that fat babbling fool is just another talking head elitist... he is quietly terrified to death of the Tea Party, it’s the beginning of the end for the American political class...
The Silent Majority will never again, be silent...
Compared to Krugman, Obama is a centrist.
The key definition of socialism is the government ownership of the means of production. Krugman, go check the ownership of GM, Chrysler, AIG and many of the other big banks, then come and talk to me. With health care, initially he's only aiming to control it while maintaining the facade of private ownership so ObamaCare would be more acurately described as Fascist Medicine rather than Socialized Medicine, but that is a difference without a distinction to patients who are told that no treatment other than final pain relief is allowed by order of the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
I can’t believe any RAT can listen to Krugman without feeling shame. He’s a total idiot and an embarrassment to anybody with the slightest bit of economic knowledge. The fact that he was awarded the politicized Nobel Prize just proves he’s a leftist hack.
Nobody thinks Obozo is a moderate centrist....uh...except maybe Krugman and a few other mental case whackjobs.
Every time I see this schmuck my hands automatically ball up into fists.
Hillary Clinton agrees with the tea party <p. Adminal Mulen is war gaming on Obama’s massive debt <p. Your an idiot.
Yes, “centrist moderate” like Brezhnev or Deng Xiaoping
Can you imagine how far they would go with a real ‘Progressive’?
I still can’t fathom why Mommy and Daddy will spend $50,000 a year for Biffy and Buffy to attend Princeton and take lesson from idiots like Krugman and Blinder!
...and all 26 viewers across the nation agreed.
Hmmm... GWB was a socially conservative centrist moderate.
Obama is a freakishly far left liberal with fascist tendencies.
Krugman should be digging random holes in the desert looking for that last shred of honor he lost when he... Well, let’s not rehash Krugman’s many failings.
Why do people still listen to this numbskull? He is never right on anything!
