Noel, all of us here know we are racists. After all, tumbler told us so many times.

As for the Jena 6, from all my reading of what happened down there, I've never been able to determine: was the victim of the beating responsible in any way for any of the nooses in the "white tree"? If he was, I could understand the animosity of the black kids toward him. That still would not exuse the criminal acts of the little hoodlums.

As for Krugman, he is a liberal and a fool. What else can you expect from him? That he is a liberal is self evident. Anyone who advocates marxist policies as he has is a fool.

"A communist is someone who reads Marx. An anti-communist is someone who understands Marx." Ronald Reagan

The GOP ought to call this guy out.

The main reason Blacks vote 90% Democrat is that they hear this kind of crap in the media and from their "leaders" like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton... two people who apparently think that it is the right of every Black person to commit crimes against whitey!

THey hear this crap, AND the GOP says nothing.  So the average disinterested Black citizen figures the accusation must be true.

Looks like the new DNC talking points are out and everyone needs to jump in and label Republicans racist.  Nevermind facts or debating issues on merit, no lets go to name calling.  Uh oh, headline just in - Free Thinker calls Krugman an Intellectually Bankrupt Hate Mongering Idiot.

You have to understand that Krugman and his ilk have determined, and rightly so, that we are the ones who have blocked the liberal's coronation on the national stage. It hurts; it stings; it BURNS!

Krugman, as is his custom, is just using the Jena 6 issue as a  moment of Kairos, or a timely opportunity, to slam his chosen enemy.

What Mr. Krugman does not and will never understand is that we southern whites are voting our interest, as do all racial groups. If we are racists, the argument logically follows that African Americans are as well since they have voted their interests with block voting for over a generation now for the installation of a political system that would hold successful people guilty of a quasi-crime, and seize their property as punishment.

So the question then becomes what are our (southern whites) interests? Well, I think the first interest of ours would be to be treated respectfully. Obviously, that hasn't occured for quite some time now in the democratic party. Secondly, we are traditionalists, and as such, we want the sanctity of the family respected, not ridiculed by triffling ideologues such as Krugman. Third, we are religious people, despite the withering contempt that Krugman and his fellow travelers hold in their cold, black hearts for us as such.

We have been trashed over the past generation in print, movies, and other media. Think southern white, and you think stupid, just as you have been programmed to think. And if you think as you have been programmed to think, who is really stupid?

Anyway, the hatred of southern whites by Krugman and his comrades isn't going to change any time soon. I am a fifty-one year old white male from Georgia who is a member of a social class that has been the focus of national ridicule and hate ever since I can remember.

The fact is that this whole Jena 6 thing was the result of a stupid prank by white students, met with violent force by black students, to which the police overreacted--it is as simple as that. It was a local issue that, like hamburger, has been ground up to supply liberal red meat for the presidential election to come. You will hear pompous politicians recall the Jena 6 from now until election day to pander to their base by propagating the big lie that America is still a racist country.

At the end of the day, what I have learned is that a racist is someone who is winning an argument, and conservatives have been winning the national arugument for some time now. If you want to see real racism and hate, go to democratic underground.com. There you will find real hate, 24/7, not the made-up propaganda type of hate. 

Once again the looney left is accusing Repubs of the very thing Dems are systematically guilty of doing.  First, put up or shut up Krugman, actions speak louder than words.  Tell us you race baiter, who was the first African American Secretary of State and what POTUS appointed him????  Who was the second African American Secretary of State and what POTUS appointed her (hint, hint)????  Who was the first African American National Security Advisor and what POTUS appointed her???  Between idiot Carter and sleazy Clinton, how many African American Cabinet level people were appointed between them and compare that to just the recent records of Bush, Jr and Sr. 

I think the time is coming that the White House and all organs of government need to start excluding race baiters and their sponsoring organizations from any news conference and briefing room.  It is disgustingly shameless that the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson get any air time, let alone those like Krugman who play to the darkest of human impulses.  I want the Whitehouse to grow a pair and blacklist the NYT from the briefing room until this ugly troll apologizes or is fired.  Racism is unacceptable in this country, race baiting is incitement to racism and we should treat such people like we do the Klan, the Ayrian Nation  or the NAZI party.  Race baiting is a hate crime and needs to be treated as such.  Email the POTUS and tell him as such!

dscott's postulate:  The degree to which someone exaggerates or deceives is inversely proportional to the merit of the advocated position.

Krugman really should team with Olberman sometime for a special. They could bill their show as "Double the insanity! Double the bile!"

“And yes, Southern white exceptionalism is about race, much more than it is about moral values, religion, support for the military or other explanations sometimes offered.”

It is obvious to me that this elitist snob never gets off the Manhattan Island long enough to talk to anybody of any intelligence below the Mansion/Dixon line. 

When he thinks of the south the only thing that comes to his mind is the “Dukes of Hazard” re-runs he secretly tape back the 70’s.  He sees “Hee Haw” and rednecks.  He sees cotton fields full of blacks hollering for water and singing Negro spirituals.

It sounds like the real bigot was sitting at a computer typing away without any knowledge on the subject except his own ignorant hatred.

The only thing you should feel when shooting insurgents is the rifle recoil.

 Despite the fact republicans are the ones who busted most of the racist laws, Krugman claims they are racist. I don't care how much college education from whatever highly regarded school he attended, Krugman is an ignorant @$$. People like Paul Krugman & his liberal/progressive pals generally expose themselves as the intelectual bigots they are every time they open their mouth. When one is never exposed to ideas outside of your own, that is what happens.

 Sad thing is Krugman does'nt even know how moronic he is, & I doubt he ever will.
