Princeton Professor Paul Krugman's ugly New York Times blog on the post 9/11 environment stopped short of accusing Pres. Bush of masterminding the attacks, but it did accuse Bush and his associates of cashing in on the tragedy, of being "fake heroes." If nothing else, the timing was hateful – the very week when the former President was called on to emerge from relative obscurity to lend gravity to the memorial ceremonies. Krugman's hate cannot hold a candle to retired MIT professor, and radical anti-American, Noam Chomsky's article in Al Jazeera. Chomsky goes a step further to condemn the US in all its 9/11 endeavors and accuse the US of the "supreme international crime" of world aggression, along with somehow being in cahoots with Cuban terrorists. Few will forget CU Professor Ward Churchill's 9/11 essay that somehow twisted reality until the victims were the aggressors. The work of academics like Krugman, Churchill, and Chomsky are the fountainhead of leftist hate, and their influence is profound.
Occasionally political ideas come from the grass roots. A handful of idealistic 19th Century Protestants brought forth the abolitionist movement, destroyed the Whig Party, and created the Republicans. Today's Tea Party receives its economic principals from instinct more than Adam Smith. Most often, however, political thought comes from above. Philosophy is usually the bastion of the elite, which explains why 20th Century Communists first infiltrated campus professors. Long after the Comintern's collapse, these ideas still dominate major campuses across the world.
The fingerprints of a CPUSA campaign were hyperbolic rhetoric and outright denunciation of the US (think Alinsky without the subtlety). Of course the CPUSA lost its Soviet funding over twenty years ago, so Academics like Krugman, Churchill, and Chomsky cannot reasonably be called communists (although Chomsky is an Anarchist, which is functionally a Marxist revolutionary). Instead leftist academics like these sinister three are fellow travelers on the Marxist-Leninist path to the destruction of the US.
Hard leftist professors, emboldened by tenure or even full retirement, can afford to make twisted and hateful pronouncements on the supposed crimes of the country that feeds them. While reviled by the public, agit-prop like Chomsky's What Uncle Sam Really Wants, influences a higher sphere of intellectuals. Eventually, the idea that the US, its interests, and its motives are evil seeps into popular culture. The left chooses to occupy academia because it is the only safe place to propagate pure anti-US propaganda.
Why do local papers use the same talking points in their editorials? Why do the Old Time Media outlets report the same news in the same way, often on the same day? Why the uniformity of leftist opinion? Why are non-leftist ideas uniformly dismissed as ignorant or stupid by the OTM? There is a hierarchy of thought that effectively dictates to the mainstream left. Brilliant, but twisted minds like Chomsky and Krugman influence lesser academics like Churchill, who in turn teach ordinary students. Maureen Dowd is not smart enough to form her own opinions; she unwittingly absorbs ideas from above. Lazy local journalists parrot Dowd, and the food chain of leftist thought is complete.
A core of academics write unthinkable lies at the most hurtful times because they are willing to sacrifice their popularity to advance their hatred of the US. They believe in and hope for the destruction of the US as a nation of laws and individual rights, all the while twisting those ideals to a Marxist end. Liberty minded people need to know that biased OTM reporting is just downstream effluent from sources such as Krugman, Churchill, and Chomsky.
P.S. Chomsky's obscene screeds against the US and its culpability in 9/11 are nothing new. He wrote such a piece in the days after the attack where he compared Osama Bin Laden to Pres. Clinton. David Horowitz brilliantly dissected that article and Chomsky a few days later. While Glenn Beck made a splash exposing Marxists in government and academia, Horowitz has been sounding that alarm for decades.

I'm sure this is well written but couldn't get past the first paragraph. I'm sick and tired of these type of people and wonder what planet they live on or what world they come from.
America...love it or Leave it
Good article!
This thread is how blogs are supposed to be posted:
1) Complete (not an excerpt)
2) In “Bloggers” and
3) linked back to your blog so we can come and read more of your stuff, because it’s good work.
Kudos, Mr/Ms Bits!
Pathetic little boys. All 3 of them together of less value than a bucket of warm spit.
I read Krugman’s pathetic piece in the NYT. At the end of his screed, he says: Comments on this article have been turned OFF, for obvious reasons. Yes, because he knows damn well what even the libs in NYC would have to say. I’m still trying to understand how GW Bush “profited” from the attacks. Or for that matter Guiliani. That he got a book deal?
The Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) just goes on and on. Some of these types will be muttering “Bush’s fault” with their dying breaths.
As derangements go, that exhibited by Paul Krugman is probably one of the milder ones, but that is only because of circumspect application of vocabulary to express his feelings. The wellspring within him probably gushes much more strongly, not only widely, but deeply.
There must be something locked in their hearts and souls, so painful, so monstrous, they cannot keep it down, and given only a small provocation, it bursts forth, an eruption of almost Mt. Pinatubo volcanic force, spewing ashes and contamining everything within miles, releasing untold amounts of pollution and noxious fumes that choke the life from everything that is too near.
Too much urban living, would be my diagnosis, but what would I know about that.
Yep, I read that about the comments. Couldn’t bring myself to read the trash though. He should be strung up. I simply can’t wrap my mind around these vile america haters. Really, the sob’s have capitalized on the very system they claim to loathe and they slam the very people that are for the liberty and freedom they enjoy.
I’m for old style justice...give them a choice in which country they wish to live and then run them out on a rail. The members of Congress that feel the same way though should be hung for treason.
Must be my lack of a PhD that causes that reaction in me. Just an uneducated rube.

Let’s review: These numbchucks attend class for a few yeears, get drunk a lot, live with like-minded nitwits, talk in circles incessantly about theory, get out of College/University with that piece of paper and for some reason (beyond reason) believe they know everything.
There is more wisdom in humility.
Stay humble - it becomes you;)
Mr Krugman, you like the terrorists you have been aiding and abetting for a decade, are a pitiful, cowardly sheit, and it suits you quite well.
Your mother really would have been better off if she’d chosen to raise the afterbirth instead.
