Paul Krugman Joins The Ranks Of The Raceist Race-Baiters And Calls Rand Paul Racist

"He’s not unusual There are genuine libertarians out there. But political figures who talk a lot about liberty and freedom invariably turn out to mean the freedom to not pay taxes and discriminate based on race; freedom to hold different ideas and express them, not so much." -Paul Krugman Link


As Keynesianism becomes more obviously false, he has slipped to political pundit a la Olbermann. He is becoming positively irrelevant. Krugman's devolution has been sad to see. He was formerly a rather sharp economist, and I'd dare say perhaps deserving of the Nobel prize he received. To see him go from that to being a petty political troll is rather pathetic.

Either way, Krugman and his ilk have been more prone to discriminate based on race, in recent times. Rand Paul merely defends Krugman's otherwise unpopular right to do so. You'd think he would be thankful...
I wonder when Krugman is taking his comedy act on the road?​

Considering Paul was against both the civil rights act and the emancipation proclamation what he's saying is technically correct. Ron Paul does seem to be against every anti-discrimination effort.

btw - thanks. What we really needed here is another Ron Paul thread. Good thing I'm the spammer and not you guys otherwise one might think you're spamming.

That second quote, from whatever article you found it in, is laughable. The right has been hating on Krugman for more than a decade... This is nothing new. Put the shoe on the other foot - the left demonizing Ron Paul's views is no different the right demonizing Krugman's views... EXCEPT that Krugman has consistently been right, if you had been paying any attention at all you'd know that(remember, he is the most accurate "prognosticator" and thats just the few things he has had the opportunity to say on TV!).

The first quote however, is Krugman telling it like it is. It's from his blog - which I read daily(obviously). Krugman is right in a lot of ways... To expand on his point with an example just think of all the self proclaimed "libertarians" who preach following the constitution, etc etc but are "Pro life" - even though the SCOTUS has ruled that the constitution protects the right for a woman to choose(remember, this is the only interpretation of the constitution that matters, as intended). This kind of hypocrisy definitely happens with the topic of racism as well, Reagan being the most obvious example off the top of my head of a racist self-proclaimed "libertarian"(LOL BLACK WOMEN ARE WELFARE QUEENS YO!).

Show me proof New Keynesianism is incorrect, Deprave. I mean economic models, empirical evidence... Not bullshit rhetoric or talking points or ideology. PROOF.

Chop chop.

HAHAHAHAHAH Ron Paul predicted the crash, and told it EXACTLY like it happened, 5 years before it happened. Krugman can make no such claim since he predicted JACK SHIT about the crash.


Krugman is the most accurate predictor out of 10 dumbasses, its true, he really is. But as far as the most accurate ever? pfft hardly, my mother has predicted things way more detailed than that spineless joke ever has.

You can be Libertarian and still be pro life. being libertarian doesn't mean you have no soul, it doesn't mean that you want a law made excluding people from making choices over their own bodies. For example: I do not like Raisin Bran cereal, does that mean I want to outlaw it ? Fuck no, lots of people like the 2 scoops, I do not. Personal choice, something dumbasses just don't understand

When this whole thing is over (the recession and recovery), when you're proven wrong - I'll be right here, on these boards... laughing. Remember that.

BTW if you think this is the first time Krugman has brought up racism on the right, IDK what to tell you. The left has beencalling the right on their racist views for what, 40-50 years? Maybe that's because the right has been pandering to the racist vote for the last 40-50 years? You ever think of that? All the left is doing is calling the right's foul. The foul is playing victim like a rapist who says his accuser is lying to the police - playing the victim to get away with his actions. Republicans play the "the left keeps using the race card! waahhhh!!!" like they're the victim. If they stopped pandering to the racist vote, maybe the left would stop calling them out for doing so.

Ron Paul And Rand Paul are two different people- Take a look at the O.P. this is a Rand thread not a Ron thread. Every ones mad at them because they make sense and because the south will rise again.

So you are against the troops, against Obama, and against America then too. That makes you a terrorist. only the Terrorists want the wars to end.
Yeah.... Cause that's pretty much the same thing as Ron Paul being against ending slavery.

In my heart of hearts I don't believe Ron Paul is racist. He is a purist. Which translates to naive. He would be eaten alive in the White House.

He's either a racist or he's spent his entire career pandering to racists. One or the other. Too much circumstantial evidence to reasonably think otherwise IMO

wtf? Ron Paul wasn't even alive? wtf?

and you wonder why Ron Paul people tell you to "wakeup"..I want to say "wow" but it really doesn't suprise me that you would say something like that, your hatred for Ron Pauls runs so deep that you cant even finish reading a post that is 1 paragraph, its like you scan and see the word Paul and then get so red faced you type out some sort of hate filled message immediately. This thread is about Rand Paul for one thing. Please remove your Ron Paul mental block from your lips and put it back in norms ass.

Yeah that's what i'm saying, everyone gets on Ron Paul about his idea of ending the Department of Education but look at what were paying for, the results we get, Their has to be a better way.

conservatives gut federal and local budgets of education resources first, then give away tax cuts, then complain about results.

classic.
