2. I despise that man . . he tries to bully his way through this world
and he still has listeners.

Why does anyone listen to him . . . why do they react to that bullying.

8. hmmmmm - not sure about that
they are people that react to authoriatian figures, bullies, and the like.

Some just like a simple, "confident" answers. They admire that. They just do not want to hear that some issues are complicated and complex. That is why hate-wing radio works so well. Nice, simple, easy-to-understand and repeat messages. There is never a complicated solution presented on these shows. Always very simple . . . simple and loud.

7. Its good that that fascist psychopath's political career was destroyed
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 10:02 AM by Juche
I think when he was hit with his sexual harassment suit he was seriously considering a political run for the senate. Good. He needs to be a mindless tv host at best, not a person with real political power.

You can read his sexual harassment suit here.

Learn about him him threatening his victim to keep quiet, talk about picking up prostitutes in Rome and Asia and masturbate himself over the phone. Yehaw.

9. I'm two minutes into this video and already Krugman's point is proven correct.
Articles were written counting Bewsh's stats from 2001-2007. Each one, mind you, does not take into account the ten straight months of job losses in 2008, making this figure exponentially worse.

http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2008/06/06/bush-v-hoover/

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/055266.php

As the article pointed out, most presidents (besides Hoover and Bewsh's old man) enjoyed a 2-4% job growth rate during their term(s).

http://wonkroom.thinkprogress.org/2008/06/11/jobs-bush-record/

What does that make Krugman, Bill-O and Bewsh?

The answer is Right, Wrong and an abysmal failure.

13. It's easy to read Krugman's mind what he thinks about O'nrulie
like "this guy is such a blowhard he's ridiculous". Love the way Krugman rolls his eyes at the ceiling and tries to controll himself from bursting out laughing at O'Reilly. Clearly Krugman must think O'Reilly has the intelligence of an baboon and he is right.
