Democrats and Commies (but I repeat myself) are always accusing others of doing the wrongheaded and criminal things that they themselves are doing.
It’s because they are so used to being thoroughly corrupt, they have a hard time understanding that other people are not like them.
So that’s why odious people like Reid and Pelosi wrongly claim that the Tea Party is just astroturf. Because the standard modus operandi of Demo-Commies is to use rent-a-mobs, they naturally assume that the good guys do the same thing. Bzzzzzt - wrong answer.
Same thing with climate “science”.
Krugman is just doing what Commies do.
Well said.
The human mind works in "auto-complete" mode, so unless you're on guard against it, your world-view is going to be an auto-complete version of your own preconceptions.
