The Krug report
From Sister Toldjah, DITTO WHAT SHE SAID!!
Sphere: Related ContentNYT opinion writer and faux economist Paul Krugman has a piece up today in which he piles on the liberal bandwagon by attacking the “mean-spirited right” who Kruggie accused of launching a “smear campaign” against 12 year old Graeme Frost and his family.The factual inaccuracies from Kruggie’s little diatribe are addressed here, and Dan Collins calls Kruggie on his nonsense here.
I just got back from a brief lunch and on my drive back I was listening to a few minutes of Rush where he was talking about this issue - in particular, how candidate Hillary Clinton has demagogued it. He played a clip of her on one of the talking head shows and in the clip she was trying to sound like a mother standing up for a child who is being attacked by “right wing bullies.” “Go after me” she essentially said, “and leave that poor little boy alone.” She talked about the right wing “attack machine” and said she never ceases to be “amazed” at the level the right will supposedly “stoop to” in an effort to tear down someone’s character (er, even if that were true - and it’s not - I guess Hillary’s forgotten about all the vicious smears she and her husband launched against the good character of prosecutor Kenneth Starr, among others, during Bubba’s time as president?). She then said that the “attacks” against the Frost family were calculated, political and partisan.
Um, excuse me, but wasn’t using Graeme Frost, an innocent 12 year old boy, a calculated, political, and partisan ploy by Democrats to sell the expansion of SCHIP - an expansion that would make SCHIP available to 25 year old “children”? Oh, hell yes it was. Yet this witch has the audacity to assert that it’s conservatives who are being calculated and political by “using” a 12 year old boy for political gain?

You know, if Krugs ever gets off Liberal Island, he might someday become a real boy.
