Paul Krugman, Joe? Really?
You can't do any better than that?

Yes, I know that Paul Krugman called you out this morning. But you couldn't come up with anything more coherent than to whine and pout about him? Could it be that, despite all of your macho big talk, you're not even man enough to just admit you were wrong a couple of months ago when you launched your vicious and petty political and personal attack on Secretary Napolitano and DHS? So you attack HIM as the leftwing flipside of Rush Limbaugh (talk about "moral relativism!")

Do you really expect anyone but a complete idiot to believe that Rush Limbaugh insisting that an anti-Semitic, gun nut, government fearing, Obama hating, racist white supremacist is a left-winger is comparable to a Nobel Prize-winning economist stating the plain and demonstrable fact that the conservative media and political establishment is feeding right wing extremism?

And do you believe that no one is going to see that you're STILL lying about the DHS report, which did not target veterans, as you again claimed this morning? Apparently you think that no one knows what that report said.

That may have been the case back in April when you first started spewing your lies about it. But now we all know what that report said, we know it didn't say what you say it said, we know that it was dead on, and, once again, you've been exposed as a cowardly, lyin' hypocrite.

In other words, you're busted, Joe.

1. Joe has also been pulling
Edited on Fri Jun-12-09 06:57 AM by ErinBerin84
Jon Stewart= Rush comparison all this week. The original DHS report wasn't even supposed to be public, it was leaked by some hack to a rw website. Republicans like Joe who immediately feigned outraged and made it seem as if the Obama white house was on a witch hunt for conservatives are the only ones who conflated the two. Own it, Joe. If Joe really cared about this "tragedy", he should have said more about it yesterday. It got what, three sentences?

2. More of the right is left, up is down, night is day bs.
They really need a new playbook. The 'Hitler was a Communist' meme shows how insane and irrelevant the reich wing and their media friends have become.

I don't watch Morning Jerk. Therefore I don't drink Starbucks. I prefer my local news.

4. Gene Robinson wrote the same thing, but Joe said nothing to him about it
Which I thought was very odd, considering how worked up he was about Krugman's comments.
