Krugman Plays The Hate Card

[cwo_ghwebb]

Paul Krugman proved, once again, why he has no credibility. In a column in today’s New York Times, titled “The Big Hate,” Krugman blames conservatives for the shooting at the Holocaust Museum and of Dr. George Tiller because conservatives have had the audacity to harshly criticize the Obama administration and late-term abortions.

Krugman picks a few pieces of sentences from various commentators to argue that conservatives are “winding up” domestic terrorists. True to form, Krugman ignores any evidence that cuts against his argument, such as that the museum shooter had a history of violence dating back at least to 1981, and was a neo-Nazi who hated conservatives and Fox News.

Krugman also places blame on these same commentators for the shooting of Dr. George Tiller. Yet there has been no evidence that the shooter was motivated by what anyone else said. The fact that someone may have criticized Tiller, even harshly, does not logically establish evidence of causation. Mixing up mere association (i.e., both the killer and commentators criticized Tiller) with causation (the commentators caused the killer to act) is a common logical fallacy of which Krugman must be aware.

Why is this loser such a hater?

It was fascinating watching all the Obamites in the state run media spend all day trying to tie this, an attack on Jews, to Limbaugh, a profoundly pro Israel commentator, while totally avoiding any mention of Obama's pastor and he's latest sneer at Jews.

They all took notes from DailyKooks, the spokesman for the Donk party, who started the labeling.

Does this mean the left is responsible for the crazy Muslim convert that shot those Army guys at the recruiting station in Arkansas? Or could it be that there are just crazy people doing twisted things? As we all now, the only party that keeps racial discord alive is the Democrat party. Republicans want a fair shake for all.
