Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Paul Krugman: Right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment. And that's a threat to take seriously. Yes, the worst terrorist attack in our history was perpetrated by a foreign conspiracy. But the second worst, the Oklahoma City bombing, was perpetrated by an all-American lunatic. Politicians and media organizations wind up such people at their, and our, peril.

left wing extremism fed by liberal media.

WOW! that's MOM spelled upside down - funny how that works!

left wing extremism fed by liberal media.

The main difference being that left wing "extremists" you see just whine, protest, and smoke pot while rightwing extremists stockpile weapons and plot violent action against the government.

think of the poor schmucks who get their ONLY news here!

It's hard to argue with this article. The rhetoric from the right has been stunning in breadth and depth of irrationality. From the "Birthers" to the Chuck Norris "cells" to Beck crying on TV, to Hannity's absolute lying. The Mullahs of the Republican Party.

The parade of dangerous, inciting language and ideas from the right hasn't been hidden. It's been right out there, in everyone's face. Including Shepard Smith.

Reel it in, or we're all in trouble.

I miss real Conservatives.

and, who might they have been?

"The parade of dangerous, inciting language and ideas from the right hasn't been hidden."

But you're cool with dangerous, inciting language from the left....right? After all, the recruiter killed by one of your little "peace-loving Muslim" friends DESERVED it, didn't he?

C'mon YAV, glass houses, rocks, and all that....

But you're cool with dangerous, inciting language from the left....right? After all, the recruiter killed by one of your little "peace-loving Muslim" friends DESERVED it, didn't he?

What? You definitely fit in with the "right." Wow. Ya loon. That thread on the Military recruiter's murder is not hard to resurrect.

......Muslim terrorists have no support among the left........

......in fact they are RIGHT WING CONSERVATIVES.......only they are batting for the Muslims instead of the Christians........

......but they share EVERY ESSENTIAL CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE VALUE.......

.......please don't tar us with your feathers......we oppose violence......you and the Talliban are its proponents......

Sort of like "Left Wing Extremism Fed by Liberal Media" and "Racist Extremism Fed by Racist Media" and "Drug Using Extremism Fed by Drug Using Media" and "Comedic Extremism Fed by Comedy Media." Ridiculous and pointless article.

I wonder when one of the left will take revenge on one of these rightwing radio hosts? They drive me to rage, I am sure they drive many others to it too.

I wonder when one of the left will take revenge on one of these rightwing radio hosts?

Never I hope. Alan Berg was enough I think.

en.wikipedia.org

Yes another fantasy article fueled by Paul Krugman's delusions.

"......Muslim terrorists have no support among the left........"

Really? Coulda fooled ME. I suppose you're not one of the volunteers to adopt some of the Guantanamo residents in your home.

"......we oppose violence......"

I know...unless it's against conservatives, Christians, Israelis, etc. etc.

"I wonder when one of the left will take revenge on one of these rightwing radio hosts? They drive me to rage, I am sure they drive many others to it too."

Then why in hell are you listening, RastaNincumpoop?

I listen so I will know ahead of time what your talking points will be. The right is a bunch of mindless shills that take their marching information from Rush and Sean.

So far the "right's" reaction hasn't done much to disprove Krugman. I appreciate the difficulty, since all Krugman's done is recount everything that's been in full public view.

"The right is a bunch of mindless shills that take their marching information from Rush and Sean."

The left is a bunch of mindless shills that take their marching information from Soros and DailyKos....and David Letterman it seems.

Your turn....

"......Muslim terrorists have no support among the left........"
Really? Coulda fooled ME....... #14 | Posted by jestgettinalong

.......yes......and so can Rush....that's why you believe the utterly ridiculous........

"......we oppose violence......"
I know...unless it's against conservatives, Christians, Israelis, etc. etc.....4 | Posted by jestgettinalong

......the left has never called for violence against Christians, conservatives or Israelis......again, please refer to the "you could have fooled ME" notation.......you HAVE BEEN FOOLED.......but not by us.......

Paul Krugman, part of the left wing lunatic fringe, is blaming conservatives.. yawn.

......the left has never called for violence against Christians, conservatives or Israelis but you love those who do, right?

Hamas? Yassir Arafat? Castro? Saddam?

"Paul Krugman, part of the left wing lunatic fringe, is blaming conservatives.. yawn."

The fact that you would make such an idiotic comment makes your position on the left-right spectrum pretty obvious. Is it lonely way out there???

It's hard to dispute the fact that right-wing media and right-wing organizations' occasional bouts of lunacy feed the existing psychosis of a few unstable elements on the right.

What u.s. media outlet are they part of again?

Hamas? Yassir Arafat? Castro? Saddam?

#21 | Posted by nmg_no

........Hamas & Arafat are/were terrorists....there is no one on the left who supports them ......what the hell are you talking about ??......

......Castro & Saddam are/were nothing but tyrants....they had no support among the left in this country........

......where are you getting your faulty information ??......you are trying to smear the left with association with repulsive people but you are just talking fictional nonsense.....

economist turned pundit. what a shock.

.....only they are batting for the Muslims instead of the Christians........

......but they share EVERY ESSENTIAL CHRISTIAN CONSERVATIVE VALUE.......

Always said taliban afghanistan was one Messiah short of being a rightwinger's paradise. Guns, second (or third class status for women) no abortions, no taxes, public executions and theological rule.

Sounds like something Gingrich would feel comfortable campaigning for.

Ya know calling Christian Conservative's right wing has always bothered me. Right wing implies that they do not want government control of industry then they turn around and try and control industry. See prohibition, see porn, see gambling see any "sin" indusry. Gov control of industry has always seemed like a left wing trait not right wing.

I guess when religion enters politics things can get confusing.

Anyway sorry to go off topic like that carry on.

This is such nonsense and Krugman knows it.

The link is gone btw--

These killers were ideologues and NOT conservatives or progressives.

I mean good grief--you have Brunn who hated jews, blacks, neocons, the gov't, the Federal Reserve, and spouted out hatred for decades. He sounds like he is on the left side of the table.

But he's not on any table--he is a loner and a hateful at that.

nanc, you got it all wrong. Media only effects the right wing, the left are clear thinkers and not influenced by anything. That should be aperent by the posts here on DR.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If he's the lunatic fringe, well I don't think there's a place on the spectrum for me.

Wait just a second....

this little weasel should stick to helping to wreck the economy

and here is a letter I just recieved on the subject.
it pretty much tells all of you what you need to know

Paul Krugman of The New York Times thinks he knows why nut jobs decide to shoot people -- and of course it's because of the hosts on Fox News. In perhaps the most ridiculous (and dishonest) opinion piece of all time, Krugman uses complete and total lies to arrive at the bizarre theory that Glenn Beck and others are responsible for wack jobs who decide to shoot people. If you must, read the full opinion piece by Krugmen HERE. Apparently blaming conservatives for random shootings is a hobby over at the New York Times because there is more than one piece blaming conservatives for crazy shooters.

AND AGAIN

its the left that is filled with the anti semetism these days....

......Muslim terrorists have no support among the left........

.............please don't tar us with your feathers......we oppose violence......you and the Talliban are its proponents......

I guess you missed the hezbolah and hamas SUPPORT OF OBAMA during the campaign and all of the apologies on obamas several apology tours.

think of the poor schmucks who get their ONLY news here!

I don't want to!

This place is insane!

funny - when ted rall (as left as they get) denounced your potus last week he was kicked to the curb all around. LMBO!

AND THE IRONY

the thread that my eyes went to as I went back to the home page was the one on the 'reverend' J wright'

NO>..no racists, class warfare, extremist there is there????

lefties - DO NOT disagree with one another!

and heaven help you if anyone disagrees with them

just ask the palin family
you remember them..they are the family of the candidate who ran right after obama said that families were off limits...

"obamas several apology tours."

I think it ended up being a campaign tour, a campaign to elect moderates in several ME countries. If Ahmadinijad loses Obama can take some of the credit though none on the right will EVER admit it.

I too remember Hezbolah and Hamas supporting Obama during the election by burning his picture and chanting death to America. Such support brought a tear to my eye.

you win the RUSH aWARD for repeating EXACTLY what he said would be said...he talked about his less than an hour ago

you DO know that the iranian president doesnt do shit dont you?

AND lets say you are right..so if the little ass WINS, then the opposite must be true

RIGHT?????????????????????????

you may need a link to make me believe this because I only remember an endorsement from them because I mentioned it here and libs all said that was no big deal

and isnt it interesting, though typical, that all you smarter than us liberals are lapping this shit up like a dog eating his own vomit.

all of this is the 2010 campaign.

"you win the RUSH aWARD for repeating EXACTLY what he said would be said"

I bet he predicts that people will order coffee tomorrow morning with breakfast too.
Of course we would state the obvious.
Rush predicting we would say it is just his way of trying to diminish the effect of the President's Cairo speech. Poor Rush, Obama is succeeding and with him America is too.

What is the "Con Media" you speak of? I've not seen such a beast.

ALL NEWS IS NON BIASED!

/wink

"AND lets say you are right..so if the little ass WINS, then the opposite must be true"

No, I don't see how you could make that assumption, apparently the guy who may win came from 50 points behind....so before Obama's speech he not only wouldn't have won, he wouldn't have had a chance.
Keep arguing, you just dig deeper with every post.

Clearly righties are sore losers.

They'll get better at it in the years to come.

"Obama is succeeding and with him America is too."

#44 | Posted by danni

Please provide evidence of successes.

danni

I also new you would deny the opposite

you people are so EASY

but I bet thats not the first time you have been called that...LOL

sorry couldnt help it

Joe Scarbourgh of MSNBC is another one of these Right Wing Conservatives who while talking cooperation does so with a stab in the back of his Democratic opponents. Calling Barney Franks names as he did this morning does nothing to move the process along, this sarcastic demeaning of the leaders of the Democratic party is not gone unnoticed. To call Democratic MORONS an other names all the while asking for an era of cooperation's is once again the rise of the Compassion Conservative, there just isn't a place in the Republican Party for such people. Scarborough is a fraud, an acting FOX LITE will not get him anywhere......

Obama is succeeding

says danni

well watch the nooner for my OBAMA FOUR MONTH SPECIAL EDITION of things he has succeeded in doing.

celisary

you fucked up right at the beginning.
joe scarbourough sold his conservative soul the 2nd time he appeared with bill mahr...YOU remember mahr dont you
HE IS ONE OF THOSE LEFTISTS EXTREMISTS who doesnt incite anything even with his insult of american soliders that got him thrown off abc and all of the other insults and attacks on people.,,,

JOE S is no conservstive and besides you are just a tpyical liberal fuck who thinks your side is the only one who can get 'down and dirty' and get away with it because they do with the American pravda or state run media...whichever one suits you

"HE IS ONE OF THOSE LEFTISTS EXTREMISTS"

AFKABL2 is so out of touch with reality that it is quite funny.


You know things are getting bad when Shepard Smith of FOX News says that his email from the right scares him.

"Please provide evidence of successes."

Um perhaps you missed it, obama told us we were and he wouldn't lie, right?

HE IS ONE OF THOSE LEFTISTS EXTREMISTS"

AFKABL2 is so out of touch with reality that it is quite funny.

#53 | Posted by danni at 2009

so either you didnt understand I was talking about j wright or you dont think he is an extremists..

please tell me you thought I was talking about someone else.

"Paul Krugman: Right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment. "

Actually, I think Obama saying "Spread the Wealth" has everything to do with it!

I really think there is going to be more violence as the wealth is being stolen from the auto dealers. Just a simple and straight forward example.

"so either you didnt understand I was talking about j wright"

No, I didn't and I went back and read you post and I still don't. I thought you meant Scarborough but now I think you mean Mahr. I don't care anyway because a left wing extremist to you is anyone who isn't a right wing tool.

Calling Barney Franks names as he did this morning does nothing to move the process along
#50 | Posted by celisary

Indicting Barney Frank and running him out of office is the only progress left to accomplish.

"Please provide evidence of successes."

When Bush left office we were expecting a worldwide depression. HOw soon they forget.

What does this mean? Who is "we"?

"AFKABL2"....Well you never disappoint you IGNORANT FUCK. Scarborough is using his morning show on MSNBC as a bully pulpit to lay claim to the COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE label. After all we all know how well that worked for George W. Bush.

Another thing you fucking NEO-CONS, must be losing you minds. Is Obama getting to you fucks already??? To read that the Neo-Cons are openly rooting for Akmadinajad to win the election in Iran today because for no other reason that his opponent has called for closer relations with the United States.

If Akmadinajad, wins you fucks may just get another WAR that you seem to crave. How many innocent people need to die before you fucks are satisfied????????? Just Pathetic........

I saw Maddow and Olbermann or the first time last night and was delighted to get the day's events through non-atrophied filters. Reason enough, I'd say, to upgrade my cable service.

The point that must be made again and again is that the terrorism assailing our land these days is perpetrated not by Moslems but by Christian right evangelofanatics. Not sure what you do about that with the First Amendment still in force, but the Limbaughs, Counters and Fox type will goad mentally deficient lunatics into more murders. They'll cite Second Amendment rights... herm

Typical liberal response...blame everyone, everything, except the individual who commits the crime.

Did he have an abusive father when he was a child?

and you and danni are repeating the EXACT LINE that rush said you would..

I say they should shut down any radio, or tv show that isnt cleared by the central office...we need to squash any speech that does not mirror the official line

TURD, YOU ARE A TURD!

TV news gives too much attention to sensationalist dumbfuck stories, like the birth certificate bullshit. I haven't tuned in to TV News for many years. Bunch of crap.

"Paul Krugman: Right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment. And that's a threat to take seriously. Yes, the worst terrorist attack in our history was perpetrated by a foreign conspiracy. But the second worst, the Oklahoma City bombing, was perpetrated by an all-American lunatic. Politicians and media organizations wind up such people at their, and our, peril."

So when left-wing radicals blew up the math building at U-Wisconsin, Paul Krugman blames the right? How about PETA and EarthFirst, Krugman?

A question came from YAV (post #4), "Who might they have been?"

Sociologist Robert Nisbet. And (far more acrimonious) Wm Buckley. The latter was sometimes shrill -- because from 1930 until the 1980s GOP was more or less out of power. He was haughty, thinking Rolls Royce riders were nicer than upper-middle ppl. But he was not a John Birch sympathesizer. He was not a Cheney who could shoot at recently-captured, disoriented pheasants, not know where his hunting companions were....

Buckley did not crave, deep down, th military efforts of OTHERS sons.

Wendell Wilkie, named by FDR to a cabinet post, was on the GOP ticket in 1940.

A bit friendly /w big business, these, yet were not paranoids, actors, CIA heads or Oedipal-problematic(of the latter :(

WOW! that's MOM spelled upside down - funny how that works!

So does that mean you have a W tatoo-ed to each but cheek!

and what of the revalation

someone who he refers to as a "white is right" guy now we find out...according to fox news..voted for obama..

so how does that square with this little weassle?

If you look at the so-called paleo-conservatives vis-a-vis the neocons, there is a distinct lack of acrimony among the former and a permeating disparaging tone among the latter.

Yes, the worst terrorist attack in our history was perpetrated by a foreign conspiracy.

I get so tired of this shit. The genocide of the Indians was the worst terrorism our country has ever seen. By a lot.

You can all go back to your revisionist history now.

I miss real Conservatives.

And I miss unicorns! But I don't hold out much hope of seeing one. (Sadly they were caught up in that whole Indian genocide thing.)

Limpwristed Leftards get together on the internets and bitch about the palpable tyranny of rethuglicans; meanwhile, Bible-believing rightwinger Drudgetards get together and drag some "fags" to death, then shoot an abortion doctor and post in preparation for the next doctor to be clipped.

Gives "LIE" to the myth of "compassionate" conservatism, doesn't it?

The solution is simple.

BHO and the Left should approach the Right using the same technique as they use with all threats to this Country...
Appeal to their softer side and don't provoke them.
Help the Right to understand that the Left does not wish them any harm and wants to do whatever it takes to make peace with the Right.
The last thing the Left want's to do is take a page from GWB and force policy on the Right,
thereby creating more and increasingly dangerous enemies of the USA, like happened in Iraq.
If the left would practice the theories it holds towards foreign threats, to domestic threats, there would be no inconsistencies.

Am I correct?

Who's wants to be the first on the Left to step up and be consistent?

#77 | Posted by libertarian_gi

hey take it easy,

let's talk it over

Almost forgot -- Krugman is a JEW; therefore, we cannot trust anything he writes or says.

Carry on.

If the left would practice the theories it holds towards foreign threats, to domestic threats, there would be no inconsistencies.

Am I correct?

Who's wants to be the first on the Left to step up and be consistent?

If you have some sort of magical mind ray, capable of convincing the ultra-right that Hillary Clinton isn't coming to take their guns away, and noone is going to make them trade in their dollars for Ameros, I'm sure Rahm Emanuel would love to know about it.

There's no calming these people down. Heck, you can't even engage them in conversation.

I mean, John Kerry was in friggin' Vietnam, albeit not for long, but a heck of a lot longer than W. or Cheney, and Kerry and was labelled a pussy commie traitor. Meanwhile the draft-dodging President and VP were celebrated as the greatest military leaders since Alexander and Caesar, and thank God we have a real Christian in the White House now. When ideology colors reality to the point of complete disconnect, what you gonna do?

DRAFT DODGING

OH you are talking about bush..>I thought you meant BLOWJOB billy....so how many tours of NAM did clinton serve in now...remind me..

OH I KNOW>..NONE>..........so do you think he kept all those letters to the draft board begging to be let lose before he ran away to england?????

Rusty Ballsack longs for the good old days when the President of the United States of America GAVE BLOWJOBS instead of receiving them.

I dont know who this rusy ballsack is but if I were to answer your post I would say

HUH?

Are Texas libraries open on The Sabbath? Has Afkababble/BLT/Rusty been saved for another week of sinning in that thar socialist establishment? Was it a good sermon in The Church Of The Pretend Paratrooper today (see adjoining thread)? I take it no ushers were murdered there. herm
