You’re not suppose to use common sense and logic here, you’re suppose to pretend you’re krugman, and under his faulty logic, he certainly is calling for assassination

Krugman being krugsterical, yes, but hardly prison material.

Yes, we need sober analysis here, not hyperbole. Bravo.

Krugman was one of those that 'championed civility' who later is proven to be a hypocrite. This is nothing more than that. He wasn't calling for the assassination of Paul Ryan.

Yes they want violence but they want it to be violence that they can show on TV to use as propaganda . There is more than one way to skin a cat besides sticking its head in a bootjack & yanking real hard on its tail .

If the violence can’t be pinned on the Tea party’s or other non marxists this gives the Democrats problems coupled with a propaganda campaign for the conservative cause will cause the rat party no small amount of indigestion.8*)

Calls for “civility” from the left at the time appeared hollow. They were little more than than attempts to silence opposition. Basically, the left’s argument reduces to “shut up”.

So let’s presume that a crime was committed and lock Krugman up for doing it.

The headline is completely ridiculous. The author is being factitious and since most people only read the headline they think its true. You can’t take headlines at face value anymore.

What I think the article was doing was illustrate (by being absurd) the absurdity of Krugman’s original article by using his own (fractured) logic against him.

Krugman’s position: Incivility on the right led to the atmosphere that facilitated the Arizona shooting; ergo, the right is responsible for the deaths at Gifford’s rally.

And in reply in this article, the corresponding logic is: Krugman is calling for incivility, which according to him leads to politically-motivated mass murder; ergo, Krugman (by his own logic) is a calling for the murder of those he disagrees with (which would be Paul Ryan).

If one has a problem with the lameness of the argument (and one should), it’s a reflection of the lameness of Krugman’s original position.

Now let’s see Krugman argue against himself in defense.

I read the article, then clicked on the Krugman article and read the whole, dreary mess twice. There was no call for an assassination of Ryan or even anything remotely like that. What an immense waste of time. I never want to see a headline like that again.

I agree. The over-hyped sensational article headline does more to promote assassination than does the supposed source.
