The Years of Shame (Giuliani, Bush Shamefully Cashed In on the Horror)[UNBELIEVABLE!!]
The New York Times ^ | September 11, 2011 | Paul Krugman

Posted on 09/11/2011 7:04:13 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?

Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s 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....

The sole “obvious” reason for not allowing comments is because Krugman is a coward. He is also a hateful little guttersnipe who has otherwise made a career of being absolutely wrong about absolutely everything, while blaming the world for not properly conforming to his academic fantasies.

Owl Gore made hundreds of millions of dollars on global warming which is shameful. George soros lives off manipulating governments, that is shameful...

"The Conscience of a Liberal"

Can't even get past the title. Conscience? Liberal? Never happen.

I see. He writes a dastardly hit piece, and then refuses to allow any response.

He’s not only a douche, but a cowardly one as well.

And just who is he to stand in judgement, as he, himself “cashes in”?

This is possibly the stupidest bit of writing this idiot has ever penned.

I think it puts him in running for a Nobel Peace prize, to accompany his Economics prize. It would put him on par with Jimmah Carter, and the terrorist Arafat. But, I think Robert Mugabe and Kim Jong-Il might be ahead of Krugman in line for that prestigious award.

Paul Krugman is a commie and a coward. But that’s one-and-the-same as we all know. He posts his blog, then doesn’t allow comments “For obvious reasons”. Typical Krugman. A little man of no worth, no insight, no integrity. A blowhard fool who’s 15 minutes of dubious fame ran out a long time ago.

The only reason for a post like this on 9/11’s 10th anniversary is to stir up debate about Krugman. It’s all about him; not 9/11, not Giuliani, not GWB, not anyone associated with the day. It’s Krugman front and center. What a joke this fool has become.

“The Conscience of a Shit Head” would be a more appropriate title for this leftist garbage!

Most of Krugman’s brains dribbled down his Momma’s legs....

I'm not going to read it, because I know the kind of person who writes this, and the kind of people who believe it.

My reason for posting here is to remind everyone ...

These are the sick, twisted b@$#ards we are fighting against!

I just remarked to my husband - “Can you believe how the demoncrats hijacked the 9/11 event and turned it into a camapaign issue to put themselves in office? Michael Moore in concert with other devils convinced a generation of kids and many of their parents that their own government orchestrated the tragedy.” Then I logged on to Free Republic to see this. There is no low to the demoncrats. Just when you thought they’ve sunk as low as they can go - they go even lower.
