New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is appearing to be having technical difficulties as he acknowledged Wednesday on Twitter that his IP address had been "compromised" and used to "download child pornography."

"Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography," Krugman wrote in the tweet. "I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me. It’s an ugly world out there."

Qanon is a reference to the group of conspiracy theorists who in recent years spread incriminating myths against many high-profile Democrats on social media.

Oldest excuse in the books. Who told you that one, Paul? Pete Townshend maybe?

Sounds like somebody’s frontrunning something.......

I just checked back and the post has been deleted. Natch.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Hahaha! That’ a tough one!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Or a handkerchief.

When did he share his IP with Anthony Weiner?

I had forgotten all about Krugman’s great prediction about the impact of the internet.

Seriously, how can a person be so wrong on so many things and still make a living pontificating about the world. He was so over the top after the election of Trump that I remember posting on a thread with his shocking predictions of economic calamity across the board that he was “finally finished”, but nope.... he is still going like the Energizer bunny of wrong.

In this documentary, Townsend admits to paying the fee to log on to a pedo site. His reason for doing so is included.

It’s called shut the dam computer down when not in use.

Sounds like the guy at IBM who thought computers wouldn’t make an impact in society.

Absolutely. Former NYPD cop John Cardillo nails it here:

Twitter link. Some good reply comments.

No doubt he “hijacked” his own IP.

Hmmmmm. Krugman a pedo?

Another strange pattern among Dimocrats.

The famous “IP freely” defense

I think you’re on to something ; )

[jospehm20]

I suspect that most influential democrats are either pedos or they are OK with their colleagues being pedos.
