Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?
Actually, I dont think its me, and its not really that odd.
What happened after 9/11 and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not was deeply shameful. Te atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons....

What a vile and despicable human being this individual is. His poor parents, how could they claim he is theirs? May he GO TO HELL as Maxine Waters would say.

Of course the memorial services are subdued.
People like Soros, Obama and Bloomberg would eliminate them entirely if they could.
They don’t want Americans getting reminded of who actually attacked us on 9/11 any more than absolutely necessary.

It's pretty clear what ALL the comments are.
Frankly the New York Times would be applauded by taking this guy to the top of the building and pushing him over onto the sidewalk many floors below.

Madame Dufarge Not to "hijack" this topic but I followed your "Paul Krugman gives up" shortcut.
I love the response from "latrina louisiana"
Who is this guy Sean from Florida? He takes everything that Professor{Krugman} 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.
"Liberals" cannot stand opposition, especially when opposition's has the better command of the facts. These "Liberals" are the descendants and true comrades of Nazism and Communism.

This over-the-top piece of garbage by Krugman requires a response in kind. Instead of stating the obvious; that he is a jerk, an a##hole, and all the befitting descriptions, how about if some of the experts in the Nobel prize liberally motivated awards, investigate why this jerk was given the prize in 2008? Was it because he is a genius or just to reward him for being a rabid leftist loon who spare no effort to denigrate G. Bush?

Folks, its true, or at least consistent with what I know.
It would have been nice if Krugman would have backed up his claim by offering evident. Paraphrasing Rush Limbaugh, with liberals evidence is not needed, only the seriousness of the charge is required.

Even when he does allow comments, he doesn’t allow comments. Attempt to post anything the least bit critical and it will not show up. He is a first class coward!

He probably thinks first responders were fake heros too. What a dum bass.
In his mind, First Responders are the ones who are first to critize and blame Bush &Co. for every evil in the world.
Anyone else who actually lifted a finger to help are just "honorable mentions"

This is a rhetorical question, right?
Krugman "earned" his reward just like Gore, Obama and Yasser "won" the Nobel Peace Prize. Simply "being there" (as in the movie, Being There) as a liberal is credit enough.
They are like trophies given to every Little Leaugue players for being participants, not for outstanding performances

Last Sunday night listening to the radio...supposed to be a conservative ...talking about the war and how wrong and bad it was. I had to check the dial and make sure I had not landed on NPR by mistake.
I am hearing more of this stuff. Yes, “stuff.” War under Bush good...now war under 0bama bad...it is still the same war. What is bad is now the blame is being propagandized...again.
Name one country that allows, supports, and encourges its citizens to run around the world and commit crimes of atrocity? Bush had part of it right when he said we should go after those that harbor terrorists. It was right because those terrorists being harbored by other countries are nothing more than mercenaries, spys, and agents of that country.
I heard a foreign speaking man discussing the corrupted ideology of islam...I thought how politically correct of you. It is the corrupted ideology of a theocratic political system. It is the theocracy of islam itself.
These terrorist are agents of that theocracy. It is that theocracy they hope for and kill for and die for.
The Years of Shame rest with the muslims.

In Paul Krugman'eyes Mayor Rudy Guliani and President George W. Bush were not heros on 9/11/01. Perhaps they were not in the classic sense of the word. They were leaders who guided us through a very difficult time in American history. They were the pillars of strength that we needed and we are grateful for their presence on that horrid day. Paul Krugman is a troll from hell.

Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued? It's you, Paul. You live in a delusion of your own making. This country was united after 9/11...so united the left was FORCED to agree to war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and you voted for it because the people demanded it, but you never believed. You never acted as Americans on 9/11... you shamefully posed as Americans and bided your time until you could start chipping away at the patriotism that made your skin crawl. You aren't Americans, you hate America, and everyone can see it.
