Phewwwwww

Thanks for clearing that up!

Wow, it’s a good thing this tool isn’t a member of the press. Whoops–biased liberal reporting from a biased liberal paper with a socialist agenda. If the government wants to pick your pocket using the feeble global warming myth, Krugman is good with it, just so long as the wealth is redistributed.

The NY Times cannot go down the crapper fast enough–the stench is unbearable.

JOHN   November 29th, 2009 - 9:51 pm

Krugman has been proven to be a liar on many occasions…What makes you think this occasion is any different?

MagicMan   November 29th, 2009 - 9:59 pm

I would wager Krugman would be singing a totally different tune were this fictional issue and the cap and trade bill being pushed by a republican president and Congress.

bubbadiamonds   November 29th, 2009 - 9:59 pm

Why do leftists WANT man made global warming to be true? It seems that anybody in their right mind would want and hope that it is not true. I think they see AGW as a way to CONTROL nearly everything and pave the way for a global government. Same with national health care, which they see as a way to control nearly every aspect of a person’s life. It is evil.

Watch and listen to Cokie Roberts when Stephie actually vocalizes the proposition that the data may be fraudulent…She shifts/wrings her hands and make a little “hrrumph” squeak…priceless…

Lenny   November 29th, 2009 - 10:17 pm

Why are they so afraid to switch it up from “global warming” to “global cooling”? They can still call for more government action, more meddling, more control, and the same fools that believed the first will gladly believe the second.

testicular man   November 29th, 2009 - 10:17 pm

Ha-HA-HA-hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaah, what a doofus! As if we need this NYT left wingnut weasel to explain the scam to us… Besides, what is he now, a climate scientist?

Suvrec   November 29th, 2009 - 10:18 pm

I keep saying its not so much the emails damming as they are but the hundreds of pages of “stolen” computer program, …….. lines of code written to exclude numbers if they do not fot the profile, now don’t come back at me and say common practice to exclude statistical outliers ….. yes but not this code it apparently excludes any data that shows no change or cooling!!!!!!

smoking gun no smoking artillery barrage YES!!!!!

It’s simply a force-multiplier for the their cause. Create a crisis, use said crisis for gain, perpetuate the crisis to maintain their hold.

pepito cojones   November 29th, 2009 - 10:22 pm

Unproven is correct! Boy, it took pretty long for this this hack show to touch on this topic on the air.

Terry   November 29th, 2009 - 10:25 pm

Want to know what else is going down? People who believe the Holohoax myth. Funny, the Global Warming lunatics said doubting the GW myth is like doubting the Holohoax. Guess what, we all took a look and realized both were lies. Glad we called your bluff.

saintpeeter   November 29th, 2009 - 10:26 pm

What did Krugman win the Nobel Prize for – supporting actor in a comedy?

Sundowner   November 29th, 2009 - 10:31 pm

Notice how these clowns try the misdirection of calling it only global warming. I think most people would agree the planet runs in cycles. To be technically honest and upfront about these arguments they need to include the term man-made in front of global warming so everyone knows the argument they’re trying to make. But then deception has always been the liberals best friend.

Calvin&Hobbes   November 29th, 2009 - 10:35 pm

The travesty is that these people have no morals.

I had no idea that this Krugman moron was a Climatologist.

Krugman and his buddies continue to lie about their unproven accusations about this so called “Global Warming” crap.

Dave   November 29th, 2009 - 10:43 pm

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! good one dude….I spit coffee when he said “no smoking gun!” Your right its more like a smoking pile of ash where your dump theory used to be.

Dave   November 29th, 2009 - 10:46 pm

how embarrassing I misspelled “dumb” as “dump”….irony is ironic

Dave, Tn   November 29th, 2009 - 10:48 pm

If another country did as much damage to America as the tiny Island Nation of Manhattanistan has done the Marines would be prowling the streets with New York power brokers faces on cards.

Anti Liberal   November 29th, 2009 - 10:59 pm

The theory of man-made global warming is single larges hoax/fraud (take your pick) in the history of mankind. It’s the sun stupid!

“It’s not a smoking gun, it’s a mushroom cloud!”

claspur   November 29th, 2009 - 11:05 pm

1998 was warm because of volcanic activity and Solor Flares.

None-to-any warming is Man-made. This is such a farce, it’s beyond rediculus to even ponder?

Rent to watch: George Carlan “Live in New York.”
He nails this BS down, Pat. This is all BS guys…just like
Global Cooling was in the ’70s.

TELL A BIG LIE...   November 29th, 2009 - 11:10 pm

If you tell a great big lie long and loud enough, idiots will believe it. Speak up and tell the idiots that they are being lied to and you will be silenced, jailed and killed. Change we can all believe in… Dear leader, Obamao.

jujubee   November 29th, 2009 - 11:24 pm

again “Terry” is here hating Jews again.

According to “Terry” the Holocaust is a myth.

and you “learned” this from whom? Let me guess…a promoter of islam?

One day soon, you will learn the truth when you find yourself NOT standing in front of this “allah” character, but in front of the one you blaspheme.

Your hatred is the only thing you serve.

He Lies!   November 29th, 2009 - 11:36 pm

Adolf Hitler:

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it”

“It is not truth that matters, but victory”

“Through clever and constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell, and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as paradise.”

“What luck for the rulers that men do not think”

Ben Scherrey   November 29th, 2009 - 11:40 pm

No smoking gun?!?! The source code of the application that shows the famous hockey stick curve has a deliberate fabrication computation built in and commented as such!!! Most fake scientists massage the actual data to hide their bias – these guys are so bent they just create fraudulant computations explicitly!

If the data isn’t public, the experiments not reproducible & verifiable, and the theory not predictive then it isn’t science. These people are committing fraud and should be held accountable and people like Krugman are idiots, liars or both.

lamchops   November 29th, 2009 - 11:43 pm

Krugman’s a boob.

“There’s nothing in there”???

Sounds like he’s talking about what’s going on between his ears.

David Sutherland   November 29th, 2009 - 11:57 pm

Everyone will feel Global Warming *** in the summer months *** and the polls will go back up then…

…at least for those in the Northern Hemisphere.

Terry   November 30th, 2009 - 12:02 am

He Lies! November 29th, 2009 – 11:36 pm

What is really funny is you guys have been set up. Hitler was referrring to the Jew liars and describing exactly what they have always done and what they eventually did regarding the holohoax. Joke is on you! LOL! Tell a big lie – make it 6 million! LOL!

SHUT UP KRUGMAN - YOUR NOTHING BUT AN INSECURE SO-CALLED ACADEMIC   November 30th, 2009 - 12:17 am

GO IMPRESS THE IGNORANT YOUNGSTERS, THEY MIGHT BUY YOUR BS.

Off Duty   November 30th, 2009 - 12:33 am

It never fails to amaze me when I see a pathological liar at work…..but when I see a person who knows better and yet still tells BIG lies then I know I’m dealing with a committed left-wing ideologue. Krugman is just such an ideologue. There is an agenda here, and one which is being laid bare. There are certain people who just never learn. History is about to repeat itself.

TulsaMark   November 30th, 2009 - 12:42 am

Krugman has that worried look, doesn’t he? I’ll bet you that he knows a few
things about suppressing opposing views as a New York Times employee. Yes,
Krugman, we will find your emails, too. Can’t wait for someone to scoop that
one;I can see it now: “New York Times implicated in climategate cover-up”.
And yes, Paul, we will all want to know what you know about climategate and when you knew it!

Big Elk   November 30th, 2009 - 1:43 am

Krugman is a liar. Like all NYT writers, Krugman says the first thing off of the top of his pointy microcephalic head, and that thing is always a lie. Boycott the New York times; it’s nothing but an overweight garbage wrapper anyway. As for ABC “News”, do they call it, “news”? Nothing about a two-bit alphabet channel like ABC is “news”, ABC spreads the same kind of lies that Krugman and the NYT spread. By the way, hey Krugman, did you ever find out who your father was out oif the entire 7th Fleet? Semper fi!

Turtle Dove   November 30th, 2009 - 2:09 am

“Not a single smoking gun”. Did you notice how quickly the NYT idiot said that, almost under his breathe towards the end. ONLY a New York Times reporter could make such an outlandish statement. They stopped paying attention to the truth, and created their own artificial reality, many years ago, and it just keeps getting worse! Anyone who gets their news from the NYT has got to be several fries short of a Happy Meal. Either that or they are liberal and enjoy living in the NYT’s artificial reality that has liberals as the smart ones and conservatives as the dumb. Dems as responsible, far-sighted, level-headed individuals, and Repubs as short-sighted, big-government-loving, tax and spend, habitual-lying sacks of Siberian sheep *bleep*!! The NYT is a boil on the butt of humanity. It needs to be lanced ASAP!

txmike   November 30th, 2009 - 3:16 am

Krugman your feeble attempts at jedi mindtricks only work on the ignorant mouthbreathing progressive class. You and your ideas are irrelevant. Face reality it is a FRAUD just like obama.

Sammy   November 30th, 2009 - 3:27 am

Political operatives like this man are propaganda artists well versed in the art of lying. Tell a lie long enough and people will just
go away. The perverse motives of such are rooted in an utter disdain for one’s fellow man wrapped in a laughable pretense of humanity.

B Holland   November 30th, 2009 - 4:01 am

Why is it that none of you neo conservatives never call out the deplorable and horrible anti – semitism of this ” Terry ” individual ? ( The exception being, jujubee ). It’s like watching a crime and no one calling attention to it. Whether the racism is applied to Jews or any other group of people your lack of denouncement only adds to the truth that you people are just a bunch of red necks with no education and no tolerance to others who are not hillbilly white trash. Typical tea baggers.

Kagiso Edwards   November 30th, 2009 - 4:20 am

Krugman is right .. there is nothing in there . NOTHING IN HIS EMPTY PROPAGANDA-SPEWING HEAD! The world does not need your opinions Krugman .. Shut up and keep them to yourself because all you say is what you are paid to say as a HACK! Go away!

Paul   November 30th, 2009 - 6:44 am

I would agree…no smoking guns here, only smoking cannons.

George Williams   November 30th, 2009 - 7:07 am

Oh, and the liberal press is above lying, huh? NOT!

Heather in FL   November 30th, 2009 - 7:41 am

Boy, Krugman must think we are all raving IDIOTS. I don’t believe this crap for a second, & it’s not b/c it was hotter in 1998 than any year since. For crying out loud, I am SO glad that the independents, and the GOP, and the general right respect their base enough to think that have an ounce of intelligence w/ out having to listen to these liberal think-tank round-tables to learn anything. Lord, if I listened on a regular basis to this crap, I would believe that *I* am on of the idiots that always tune in, and that they were Gods w/ all the answers (the true intellect). NOT btw: who could sit through an entire show of this every weekend? Some astute fans they have. LOL!

poetopoet   November 30th, 2009 - 7:43 am

This bile of NYT’s Krugman is a left over propagandist from Russia and Germany’s failed political polices tried and tried over and over as failures, he wants to continue on and on.

GOEBBELS’ PRINCIPLES OF PROPAGANDA
1. Propagandist must have access to intelligence concerning events and public opinion.
2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.
a. It must issue all the propaganda directives.
b. It must explain propaganda directives to important officials and maintain their morale.
c. It must oversee other agencies’ activities which have propaganda consequences
3. The propaganda consequences of an action must be considered in planning that action.
4. Propaganda must affect the enemy’s policy and action.
a. By suppressing propagandistically desirable material which can provide the enemy with useful intelligence.
b. By openly disseminating propaganda whose content or tone causes the enemy to draw the desired conclusion.
c. By goading the enemy into revealing vital information about himself.
d. By making no reference to a desired enemy activity when any reference would discredit that activity
5. Declassified, operational information must be available to implement a propaganda campaign
6. To be perceived, propaganda must evoke the interest of an audience and must be transmitted through an attention-getting communications medium.
7. Credibility alone must determine whether propaganda output should be true or false.
8. The purpose, content and effectiveness of enemy propaganda; the strength and effects of an expose; and the nature of current propaganda campaigns determine whether enemy propaganda should be ignored or refuted.
9. Credibility, intelligence, and the possible effects of communicating determine whether propaganda materials should be censored.
10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy’s prestige or lends support to the propagandist’s own objective.
11. Black rather than white propaganda may be employed when the latter is less credible or produces undesirable effects.
12. Propaganda may be facilitated by leaders with prestige.
13. Propaganda must be carefully timed.
a. The communication must reach the audience ahead of competing propaganda.
b. A propaganda campaign must begin at the optimum moment.
c. A propaganda theme must be repeated, but not beyond some point of diminishing effectiveness
14. Propaganda must label events and people with distinctive phrases or slogans.
a. They must evoke desired responses which the audience previously possesses.
b. They must be capable of being easily learned
c. They must be utilized again and again, but only in appropriate situations
d. They must be boomerang-proof
15. Propaganda to the home front must prevent the raising of false hopes which can be blasted by future events.
16. Propaganda to the home front must create an optimum anxiety level.
a. Propaganda must reinforce anxiety concerning the consequences of defeat.
b. Propaganda must diminish anxiety (other than concerning the consequences of defeat) which is too high and which cannot be reduced by people themselves
17. Propaganda to the home front must diminish the impact of frustration.
a. Inevitable frustrations must be anticipated.
b. Inevitable frustrations must be placed in perspective.
18. Propaganda must facilitate the displacement of aggression by specifying the targets for hatred.
19. Propaganda cannot immediately affect strong counter-tendencies; instead it must offer some form of action

Checkers   November 30th, 2009 - 8:30 am

THIS LEFTIST PUPPET of the international globalist movement IS SPOUTING DENIAL OF REALIITY in order TO ADVANCE THE ADMINISTRATION’S CAP and TAX PLAN to REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH to LESS WEALTHY NATIONS.

THE IS NO GLOBAL WARMING. THE SUN’S ENERGY OUTPUT CYCLES CONTROL EARTH’S TEMPERATURE, NOT CARBON DIOXIDE EMMISSIONS. Anyone who was awake in grade school science knows that PLANTS BREATH IN CARBON DIOXIDE and EXHALE OXYGEN (ie. PHOTOSYNTHESIS PROCESS). REDUCING EARTH’S CARBON DIOXIDE LEVELS (if one could), WILL REDUCE PLANT GROWTH (ie. OUR FOOD PRODUCTION, DUH!).

CLIMATE CHANGE (aka GLOBAL WARMING)is the biggest HOAX in history! Anyone who spreads such fear is an ingnorant fool, a politician with a nevarious agenda, and/or a crook and a snake oil salesman IMHO!

Krugmann, Chief Press Neo-Marxist   November 30th, 2009 - 8:45 am

Believe me, you CANNOT believe one word that emits from Krugmann’s mouth. He is a Neo-Marxist to the core and is Editor in Chief of every corruption cover up for the New York Slimes. I find it UNBELIEVABLE that ANY show would have this fraud on.

johng   November 30th, 2009 - 8:54 am

From a guy who “knows” very little about economics. He is a joke.
I wish George would put Thomas Sowell or Walter Williams on the show with this dunce. Will will not say he is an idiot.

Justine   November 30th, 2009 - 9:21 am

Ben at 11:40 – couldn’t have said it any better.

I’m interested to see what our public school is going to say about all of this. They have been teaching the kids that global warming is caused by man. It is being repeated over and over. This is going on at a blue ribbon school.

If they really want the kids to learn something, they would talk about what these “scientists” were doing. They could add in a lesson on what is fact verses what is an opinion, and how bullying can happen between adults. It wouldn’t hurt the kids to see that sometimes their books and their teachers are wrong. A lesson on thinking and checking things out for themselves, instead of blindly believing everything that is being taught, couldn’t hurt. If the school completely ignores these e-mails they should change the ribbon on the school from blue to red.

Steffy   November 30th, 2009 - 9:44 am

More LIBERAL scare tactics designed to make MONEY FOR THEMSELVES.

Just like our liberal, islamic president.

I must be honest…for the first time in my life I am NOT proud of being American.

NEOFREEDOM   November 30th, 2009 - 9:50 am

Transnational (TRANZI ) Marxist mouth piece of the International Globalist Movement and of the Obama agenda driven left ,go back to your Rabbit Hole World,and leave us alone with the reality of TRUTH. The TRUTH will BURY you, Obama ,SORO’S,Gore and the rest of your EURO DEMOCRATIC MARXISTS elitists minions in your Alice in Wonderland World of LIES ! Terry may God forgive you and your thoughts.

Minnie Iceage   November 30th, 2009 - 10:04 am

Dubya had this guy’s number a while back. “Look over there, that there is a world-class a—–e”
Cheney concurred, “big time”.

BTW, could this skit have begun any funnier? An analysis of polling data on scientific research! Now that is a belly laugh.

Why not an analysis of the hockey stick graph created by an assistant professor that never recieved legitimate peer review, whose tale was completely bought by the media, and now the subsequent cover up of information embedded in his emails revealing corruption to anyone listening. If this were not so incredibily dangerous, the whole thing would be hilarious. Wish that but once (this critical time) George Will could have taken a shoe off and gone all Khruschev at the morning table. Grow a set George for the sake of the nation’s political and economic life. The guy only shows a bit of animation when speaking of the Cardinals. probably doesn’t know one end of the bat from the other. This intellectual routine is wearing thin on me.

V!nce-from-Scamwow   November 30th, 2009 - 11:19 am

Krugman is one of my best students. I taught him to say “there is no smoking gun” and say it with a straight face even though the eMails show the scientists are actively manipulating data and actively plotting how to continue to manipulate public opinion.
Let me show you an example. I have been selling a simple paper towel that I have convinced thousands and thousands of people to it’s mystical absorption properties. I have convinced them that it can even draw the soda from up underneath the carpet padding. People send me $19.95 for this – and I have become rich. My cost to deliver this paper towel is pennies.
Good work Paul….Grasshopper!

Kyle In Texas   November 30th, 2009 - 11:20 am

Did he actually say anything worthwhile? And people continue to listen to these “snake oil” salesmen!!!! That is the real travesty here!!!!

schnauzer   November 30th, 2009 - 12:04 pm

Please ! May I have 1 minute alone with Krugman in an alley or elevator .
It would be lively , animated vociferous discussion. Perhaps more :)
Merry Christmas ALL

Buford T Justice   November 30th, 2009 - 2:07 pm

(yawn) The NYT circling the wagon to defend a massive Leftist conspiracy and coverup? (yawn) Is there any more leftover turkey in the fridge? I’m hungry!

Gene Charles   November 30th, 2009 - 3:16 pm

No smoking gun in there but you may well find a stained blue dress.
I am sure they never lied, not once.

Gene Charles

Krugman is a godless pagan   November 30th, 2009 - 5:03 pm

The globalists gave Krugman a Nobel economic prize for espousing an economic system that has contributed to the destruction of the American economy. Maybe Krugman is vying next for a Nobel prize of peace for pushing a form of environmental voodoo that, taken to its full extent, will cause mass starvation, civil strife, and war

POed Taxpayer   December 1st, 2009 - 6:32 pm

Anti Liberal November 29th, 2009 – 10:59 pm
The theory of man-made global warming is single larges hoax/fraud (take your pick) in the history of mankind. It’s the sun stupid!

“It’s not a smoking gun, it’s a mushroom cloud!”
