Peter_Puget Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Here is a good article on Bush hatin'. This site has some good articles from time to time and my secret online crush (Megan McArdle) writes here occasionally. PP Quote
vegetablebelay Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 (edited) You really could substitue the name "Krugman" in that article with j_b, Jim, joshk, catturd, and a dozen other posters here. Thanks PP. Edited October 22, 2003 by vegetablebelay Quote
catbirdseat Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Is anyone surprised that the people could hate an evil person, who holds corporate interests above those of the average citizen? Quote
Peter_Puget Posted October 22, 2003 Author Posted October 22, 2003 Hmm Why don't you ask the folks working in the chicken facotries in Arkansas? Quote

vegetablebelay Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Sad to see people carrying that hate around with them everyday. What a gloomy existence. Quote
mattp Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 I don't get it. Mr. Bush is our president. What he says and does matter a great deal. How are we supposed to feel about him if one believes, as I do, that he is taking us in the wrong direction and that he is doing so at the behest of big time criminals and despots? Sure, one can be so obsessed that they say and do stupid things or ignore obvious evidence that rebuts their assumptions, but I'm glad there are folks obsessed with the task of defeating him in the next election and I don't think it is wrong to question his explanation of his motives for cutting taxes or awarding contracts to Halliburton. Rather than a serious article that sheds real light on some new issue or something, I think the article is merely an attempt to generate some kind of "lets rally behind the president" emotion. However, I suppose I'm with Burgesss-Jackson on the "malevolence" thing -- to an extent. They are doing us a great disservice where some of our Democratic "leaders" are willing to let the economy falter or stifle the war effort just to improve their own chances in the next election. But I'm not sure they are motivated by "Bush hatred" as much as their own lust for power and their drive to please their own consituents or backers. Quote

hakioawa Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 I have been reading Krugman for about 8 years now. Since my undergraduate Econ years. I am reading his new book. Krugman is not a liberal from an econmics perspective. At least not historically. He is a Bush hater. As am I and damn proud of it. However I do think the author makes a good out point. Kurgman is an Economist, not a politician, statesman or philospher. He is using his position at the paper to put forth a political agenda and that is unfortunate. He discredits his own economic opinions through his insessant anti-bush rants. Were he to stick to purely economic analysis of the effects of bush's policies, his opion would carry more weight. Quote
j_b Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 you guys don't mind dishing it out but you for sure can't take it. labeling people as haters is definitely easier than answering criticism/charges Quote
Jim Posted October 22, 2003 Posted October 22, 2003 Notice that the cited article doesn't actually refute any facts. The author just doesn't seem to like the conclusions. More of the same "sit down and shut up" mantra. Quote
