wIillard,
Among all of the liberals leveling scurrilous charges about conservatives and violence in the past week, there has been no greater offender than former Enron advisor and The New York Times’ partisan hack, Paul Krugman.
Less than 24 hours after the tragedy in Tucson occurred, Krugman had a column in The Times blaming conservatives for the actions of the lone, apolitical lunatic. In that column which attacked many conservatives, he only provided one example of actual violent rhetoric, a statement by Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
Almost two years ago, Ms. Bachmann said that she was working to make sure that her constituents were “armed and dangerous” with information about liberal proposals for a massive energy tax known as cap and trade.
For Krugman to claim (as he did) that Bachmann was calling for the violent elimination of her political opponents is a bald faced lie and cannot go unchallenged. Krugman is using the forum provided to him by The New York Times to savagely malign a prominent conservative Congresswoman for the purpose of advancing his radical socialist agenda. The Times has to hear from American citizens that we will not tolerate this libelous propaganda.
Please alert your friends and family to Paul Krugman’s vicious lies and the opportunity to make your voice heard here!
Thank you for standing with us,
David
P.S. It is worth mentioning, that for all of The New York Times’ preaching about conservative policies hurting the poor, they would allow these savage lies about Rep. Bachmann. Ms. Bachman has served as a foster mother to 23 children in their hour of need.
