Sorry, I HONESTLY spent like 45 seconds of my life looking for a more appropriate word, but could not find one that fit what I was trying to say.

Don't do it again.

If anarcho-capitalism ever succeeds am I going to have my right to use the word "retard" taken away?

Your "right" to free speech, is only related to your right to own property.

Obama has a whopping 62% favorable pecentage on Daily Kos. Like people have nothing better to do at that site then spam how great Obama is.

Krugman called for the housing bubble, as Lilburne and others have demonstrated. Why does his Wikipedia page allow him to get away with it?

This line needs rebuttal on the Wiki: "Krugman later stated that his statement about "a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble" was economic analysis and not policy advocacy".

well just reading dozens of his blogs/articles and seeing him on TV, he really is just a social democrat hack. i know it sounds cliche to shrug off a commentator as just a democratic hack- but that's really what he is. Since the financial meltdown Krugman hasn't sounded any different then your daily kos dairy poster, he is still running around blaming everything on Bush and Ronald Reagan, kinda funny.

But believe me I do think your articles of a great deal of value.

GilesStratton:
I believe that whilst Krugman is extremely educated and a very talented individual he wastes his intellect on what is not scientific research but political propoganda. Your articles do a great deal in countering this propoganda. So I must take my hat of to you in that regard.

I know you're very discerning, Giles. So coming from you, that means a lot. Thanks.

This thread is, in my humble opinion, quite childish. What matters are Krugman's ideas, not whether he has a mental disorder or is stupid. Now, if his ideas are stupid (which they probably are), that's certainly worth discussing.

Lilburne:
I don't toil with Krugman to convince Krugman (I doubt he's read a single thing on Mises.org). I toil with him to convince people who might be tempted by Krugman's views and to arm everyday people with easy-to-understand anti-Krugman and anti-Keynesian arguments to use against their pro-stimulus friends and colleagues.

Lilburne, I know you're not exactly my biggest fan since some comments I made. But believe me I do think your articles of a great deal of value. Contrary to the impression some of the content of my posts I do think that public intellectuals have great value and I have a lot of respect for those that discover the Austrian school at an older age and consequently edcucate themselves of its teachings. I believe that whilst Krugman is extremely educated and a very talented individual he wastes his intellect on what is not scientific research but political propoganda. Your articles do a great deal in countering this propoganda. So I must take my hat of to you in that regard.

Are you kidding? The halls of Krugman are thick with the cursings of the name Lilburne. Krugman comes on here everyday waiting for your next piece and if he doesn't get it, a tiny tear falls on his pillow before he goes to bed. You just remember that next time you want to play skeeball instead of writing a criticism of Krugman...remember that tiny tear.

LOL!!

Dammit, and I was going to spend the whole weekend playing skeeball, too!! Time to readjust my value scale...

Read Lilburne's 3 articles, and then read Meltdown by Tom Woods.
