Krugman is brilliant! He won the Nobel Prize! |
|
except when he mildly criticizes Obama! Then he's a troll!

1. "Mild" is right. I remember the primaries... Krugman's current criticism is nothing compared to that |

13. Yeah, Krugman was gratuitiously bashing Obama |
|
and he made an ass of himself.
I'm sure he's brilliant but I don't think much of his tactics.

2. Krugman was a cheap-labor, offshoring shill |
|
He even wrote an article entitled, "In Praise of Cheap Labor." I've never really understood why he and Robert Reich are considered "liberal" economists.

5. I remember that article |
|
How that man is considered a liberal is beyond me. Neo-liberal maybe, but not liberal.

3. Milton Friedman won a Nobel Prize too. |
|
Yes, Krugman is smart but try a better defense of him than Appeal To Authority fallacies.

he needs a "defense" for mildly criticizing Obama?
Krugman writes a blog post criticizing Obama, I don't defend it, I read it. Just like I would if he were praising Obama.

7. Then what's the point of this OP? |
|
Either defend what Krugman wrote about Obama on its merits, or don't. But don't remind me that he's a Nobel Prize winner and expect that to mean a hill of beans to me WRT Krugman's opinion on anything Obama does.

14. He was the epitome of wrong. |
|
The word "wrong" should have his picture next to it in the dictionary, along with "fail".

I had a Professor who tried to explain to me that Milton Friedman had good intentions and that one of his goals was to stop government tyranny. I replied with, "Umm have you ever heard of a guy named Pinochet?"

Just because he won a Nobel Prize doesn't mean his words are golden or that he is right all the time
