Krugman has his blog all of 24 hours, and already the wingers have called for his death

Unbelievable? All too believable! Times:

I think Professor Krugman has completely lost his mind. His black and white view of American history - with all Republicans as evil and FDR as the Saviour - would put most Marxists to shame. Maybe he wants to get back at the world because hs is such a short man. He has become the modern version of Marat. Charlotte Corday where are you?

— Posted by Peter Schneider

(For those who came in late, Marat was a figure in the French Revolution, assassinated by Charlotte Corday.)

Oh, but MoveOn insulted General Betray-Us (not), and whenever they do that a kitten dies and we won't get our ponies!

Probably the moderator was some kid who doesn't even know who Marat was. Good thing the comment slipped by, though, just to remind us of what we're up against.

What we're up against? Are you stupid or just poorly socialized?

Krugman doesn't wear a uniform

And he's a little Jewish looking.

When you insult Petraeus, you are insulting every man, woman, child and pony in uniform and that just makes me so mad. Almost as mad as it makes me when lambert ends a sentence with two prepositions: where did he grow up? In a barn?

When you call for the assassination of Krugman, or blowing up the Times building, you're just talking about mostly Jews and some Eastern elites. Maybe a few brown people. No big whoop.

i can't really top THB's comment, so instead

i'll just agree and add: i really, really don't understand how conservative AIPAC type jews fail to understand that. the hatred the right has, always will and always has had, of Jooey Jew Jews is impossible to deny. sure, we've got our sillies on the left, people who think AIPAC controls the world from a giant six sided spaceship in the sky and whatnot. but it's a historical fact that jews are a prime target for hatred in many (all?) right wing narratives and organizations. the fundies think almost all are going to die when jeebus comes back and shoots lightning bolts out of his eyes. the black helicopter types believe all jews are evil bankers in the NWO cabal. the racists agree with hitler. etc.

if i were a conservative jew, the last place i'd send my money is to a group of jews who've allied with those groups. that's just dumb.

i really, really don’t

i really, really don’t understand how conservative AIPAC type jews fail to understand that.

Huh? They completely understand that. They just don't care, as long as the nutjobs support them in ethnically cleansing the Occupied Territories.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
