RedState co-founder Josh Trevino has noticed the following: back in January, Paul Krugman was one of many drooling idiot leftists devoid of any moral compass who tried to pin the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords on a lack of Republican civility. Even though, by the time Krugman’s column ran, it was clear that Giffords’ shooter was a mentally disturbed individual whose assassination plot was not motivated by coherent political theory of any stripe, Krugman was not about to let facts get in the way of a good partisan narrative:

It’s true that the shooter in Arizona appears to have been mentally troubled. But that doesn’t mean that his act can or should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate.

Yes, Krugman claimed, without any appreciable sense of shame, that a man who was seriously mentally ill was merely a symptom of - no kidding - “toxic rhetoric.” Well, three whole months have passed since Krugman peddled this tripe and apparently, Krugman’s sense of shame hasn’t become any more well-developed. Now he’s got a piece out on Paul Ryan’s deficit reduction plan. The title - the TITLE - of this piece? Let’s Not be Civil.

According to Paul Krugman, Paul Krugman has just called for the assassination of Paul Ryan.

Krugman is a contemptible piece of Shiite, as always.

[4rcane]

Krugman is an intellectually dishonest hack

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Isn’t it against the law the threaten the life of a federal official?

Isn’t it against the law the threaten the life of a federal official?

No worries, America is essentially becoming lawless. The Rule of Law only applies when it's convenient for libs and RINOs who, for example, support amnesty for illegal aliens.

[wac3rd]

They are pushing, pushing...they want violence.

They have Obama who WILL (repeat for you old folks, WILL) USE our troops against us, or UN troops.

Mark my words, this is orchestrated by Soros and the NWO in order to use Emergency Powers to “quell” domestic uprisings.

Obie wants to spark it, so he can use our taxpayer-paid equipment and men against us...

Call me a tinfoil hatter, I can care less.

“it was clear that Giffords’ shooter was a mentally disturbed individual whose assassination plot was not motivated by coherent political theory of any stripe,”

BS...Lougher was a 9/11 truther...and when giffords didnt respond as he desired...he targeted and attacked her becuase she was “part of the plot”

Truthers have been tied to at least half dozen shooter...

5 were libtard moonbat Bush haters....one was an anti-semite “jews did it” bush hater 9/11 truther...

The “no political ties” meme is pushed by the leftist media desparate to not have loughner associated with them...

[parisa]

paul krookman is nothing but the sound of that goonion hollering at that 14 year old kid in WI yesterday.

[unkus]

Krugman is a vile creature.

[Crim]

Not worried about the “troops”....they are our boys...liberals lement the “red state army”...

That’s why Obama wants his own personal guard in the form of the civilian defense force...

He knows the troops wont back him....

[RitaOK]

There was nothing even alluded to assasinating anyone. Ridiculous headline. Ridiculous conclusion. Whole lotta extrapolating going on with a huge dose of imagination bordering delusion. Krugman being krugsterical, yes, but hardly prison material. The comments section on the Redstate website bore out the goofiness in the headline.

[Berlin_Freeper]

Mentally Evil.

[Salamander]

“should be treated as an isolated event, having nothing to do with the national climate. “

What about the federal _Republican_ judge he -killed-?

Why doesn’t anybody ever mention *him*?

[smokingfrog]

I agree. The Krugman article is a lot of finger pointing BS but doesn’t advocate any kind of violence toward Ryan. Attack Krugman on his ideas if you will, but don’t make stuff up.

Here is a comment from a reader:

Much as I loathe Paul Krugman, here is the actual quote from his piece:

So let’s not be civil. Instead, let’s have a frank discussion of our differences. In particular, if Democrats believe that Republicans are talking cruel nonsense, they should say so — and take their case to the voters.

There’s nothing in there calling for an assassination.

Krugman deserves our contempt, but we are supposed to be the side that sticks to facts.

>>>>>>>>>>

I read the thing twice looking for something about assassination ....I cant find it

[TigersEye]

I was wondering if anybody else would notice that.

[stormer]

Wow - that’s quite a stretch. Did you happen to read Krugman’s piece?

[tsowellfan]

I hope someone is making a list of all this violent talk from the left.

We know when another Tucson happens they and the media will again be blaming it on Republican “rhetoric”.

[ItsForTheChildren]

I think Redstate’s overstated it a bit there. Krugman did no such thing.

[Korah]

Even though, by the time Krugman’s column ran, it was clear that Giffords’ shooter was a mentally disturbed individual whose assassination plot was not motivated by coherent political theory of any stripe,

That's bull. The Arizona shooter was a leftist who got involved with the Zeitgeist movement which is a socialist utopian movement wanting to replace capitalism and Democracy. So for RedState to say he was not motivated by any political theory is crap! Another freeper, OneVike, wrote about it. Here is the link to the article. Tucson Assassin Was A Zeitgeistist, A What?
