Paul Krugman calls Rand Paul racist

[low preference guy]

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.

There wasn't really any doubt that Krugman is an idiot, but he is even bad at pretending he isn't.

This goes in media spin.

In a perfect world there would be no Krugman, he is perhaps one of the dumbest people to have ever walked the planet. I have two dogs with more sense.

Krugman is less than an idiot. As Keynesianism becomes more obviously false, he has slipped to political pundit a la Olbermann. He is becoming positively irrelevant.

 

[Golding]

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...

Paul Krugman is a racist and a race-baiter.

This kind of distortion and deliberate misunderstanding of Paul's positions makes me cringe.

The policies that Krugman advocates hurt minorities the most, so I would consider him the racist.

I wonder when Krugman is taking his comedy act on the road?

why is it that some of you always brings up the bad things little worms say about Ron and Paul. Who cares what they think.

Typical left winged spin to what Rand Paul was saying.

because it makes them look like idiots

who? I know its important for us to aware of everything. That's why I come here. But I really wish we could ignore the irrelevant issues. We have a super star revolution going on, people like Krugman are old news. Liberal roll their eyes at us like we're "crazy" and "out of tune". I sometimes feel like we need to do the same thing. For some reason, Americans seem to be drawn to smugness.

I've seen better trolling on this and other internet forums. How the hell does this dude have a nobel prize?

It used to mean something. Now its turned into a laughingstock.

Lol, point taken. Nobel prize isn't worth shit. Also, check out the comments section. His echo chamber is dumber than he is.

No it don't. It just inforces it. People come here will forget who said it but will say"Rand is a racist someone said so.
