Why is that liberal?

Paul Krugeman is a liberal, in the context of US politics.

It will be interesting/humorous to look back at bitcoin naysayers in the same way!

Sure, but the prediction has nothing to do with liberalism...

it's just a prediction by a liberal economist.. who bitcoiners hate with a passion, because he's saying the same thing about bitcoins.

sometimes i feel like paul krugman is just a troll.. and the more we react to his taunts, the more he likes it. more and more people will start talking about him.

so, i'm going to try and sign off on him. he's the liberal version of a republican troll.

He is a committed liberal bomb thrower that thrives on the attention people give him. Kind of like the liberal Ann Coulter.

Krugman has never been right about anything.

Just ignore him and let him go away.

I'm liberal, and I never said that. So by the same logic a liberal prediction from 1998 might be said to be " The internet will grow into one of the most important tools of modern life". That's what I thought.

Wow, because I thought that... Liberals must be super smart!  Cheesy

yeah, that's the person i would compare him to.. although i don't think he is as inflammatory as ann coulter. he's just the kind of guy that thrives off of controversy.

is it me or does anyone else find ann coulter hot? kind of like the way you are attracted to the village whore.

Sorry... To belong to the famous liberal club you need at least a Nobel in your pocket and feel superior to everyone. But of course you can still be super smart.. But not krugman super liberal smart.... :-)

The trouble with that prediction is that everybody absolutely has to get their two cents in even when a topic doesn't have anything obvious to do with them. Even trolls have something to say. And of course I can usually get a good debate going between two complete strangers if I want to find a very active forum and post something so controversial that you absolutely have to click on it just to see what people are saying.

I'm suspecting the liberal version is what was meant.  Two sides of the same coin and what not.  Being a political shock jock is certainly profitable.

there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of opportunity as a liberal though.. hate krugman if you like, but at least he's not a glen beck or rush limbaugh. i can't think of any other liberal who is worse than krugman too.

Either this prediction is way off, or fax machines are awaiting a revolution...

Paul Krugeman is a liberal in the context of dumb-asses who don't know what the word liberal means.

Liberals believe in Liberty, less government, and Freedom.

Is it surprising that American society is crumbling when the majority of its members don't even know what words actually mean?  No.
