Krugman: 'The Teabaggers Have Come and Gone'
Paul Krugman is the latest far left crank to refer to the “teabaggers” in his latest New York Times column:
So, how well will health reform work after it passes?
There’s a part of me that can’t believe I’m asking that question. After all, serious health reform has long seemed like an impossible dream. And it could yet go all wrong.
But the teabaggers have come and gone, as have the cries of “death panels” and the demonstrations by Medicare recipients demanding that the government stay out of health care. And reform is still on track. Right now it looks highly likely that Congress will, indeed, send a health care bill to the president’s desk.

This is just a liberal effort to compartmentalize the movement. The left will downplay, ridicule, and demonize at every opportunity. This is because they are afraid, very afraid that it is for real. Hopefully there will be some enlightenment after Nov. 7.

They're riling up the RIGHT-WING base.
They are growing more aggressive and violent.

Hey Krugman, tea baggers have gone where they will, but tea parties have just started, DA.
CONSERVATIVES ARE BIRTHER TEABAGGERS
I heard they are the new gay bathhouses of the nineties. Teabagging is a common practice in prison showers.
NUTS ON YOUR CHIN
also at your mothers house...

What's the matter? You can't find a bigger communist to get a story from.

You think we're gone jerkoff?? You haven't SEEN us yet!! You will though.... You will.... Luckily, I live in NJ and I am ITCHING for next Tuesday! And I NEVER vote in off year elections........ this year will be different.... and next....
CONSERVATIVES ARE BIRTHER TEABAGGERS
Yeah! this year me and the other 12 teabaggers in the state of NJ will vote and really turn things around! Yeah! You'll see, we're still relevant! NOT!!!!!

Did you just bust out with a NOT joke? liberals are so lame
Winston Cupp
I'm not sure what is more distressing about you, your appearance or your logic. You and the Times will go down together in your morass of socialist economics and fascist form of government because no one gives a SHI_ about what you and they have to say.....
Adam Smith
Paul "Dr. Straightjacket" Kookman is in for a rude awakening come next November. Go ahead, doc, keep your head buried in the sand, remain blissfully ignorant, and wish away the facts all you want. It will only make November 2010 that much more sweet when we read your whining and complaining about the election in The Propaganda of Record -- if it's still in business.
razmataz
Not sure where he gets the idea that the Tea Parties are over. They just kicked off another tour. And how does he figure reform is still on track? Sometimes its simply amazing how deeply in denial some of these radlibs are. That must be some awfully potent kool-ade they're drinking, or maybe its the Obama-colored glasses they're looking thru. If there is any reform this year, it won't resemble anything like what the radlibs are hoping for.
Proud American
Is the NYT still in business? I guess idiots like Krugman are instructed to write mindless drivel like this just so other new outlets will report on it and mention their worthless name.
donnarooty
Any candidates running for office between now and 2012 should be asked, at a minimum, these five pointed questions with just a “yes” or “no” answer allowable.
1) Will you work to repeal all of the UNCONSTITUTIONAL laws that are being passed in this Congress? Ie: healthcare; stimulus; private company takeovers; private company CEO salary cuts; Cap & Trade, card check, etc?
2) Will you work to write laws to abolish Czar’s?
3) Will you support HR1207 (audit the fed)?
4) Have you read the Constitution and will you ACTUALLY PROTECT IT?
5) Will you support your State's 10th Amendment right to protection from an out of control govenmental Federal monstrosity?
This is just PART of what "WE THE PEOPLE" are demanding!
sandyinohio
Right, Donna. I think that some people better wake up to the polls and the news; in ALL states, there are more moderates(40%) and conservatives (40%) than liberals (20%) as self-identified. Could that be why Hoffman is in the lead in NY, right next door?
Capitalism4Ever
I see we need to go back to Washington. Just set the date and I'll be there to support my fellow patriots. I'll never forget that day 9/12 or how I felt.
oliver klozoff
This is a scam written behind closed doors. The only way they will get it through is to ram it through. Not one of them will read it. But will vote on it anyway. I hope that they are afraid of we the people,or they will be. Well let's just hope change will come in Virginia and New Jersey. Let them know that we are awake.

To Wolf Parade: I am neither sponsored nor promoted by FNC...actually is was Mr. Obama who funded my trip to Washington (FINALLY, the Stimulus did something good!). I am capable of seeing, hearing and thinking for myself quite nicely, thanks. No news or opinion outlet tells me how or what to think, I am guided by the CONSTITUTION OF THE US. I never protested a thing in my life prior to April 15,2009; it was a fear and deep concern that the progressive/liberal democrats and RIINO republicans are taking us down the road to ruin that brought me out of the confort of my home. That's what you and obviously Mr. Kruger do not understand. We are REAL, we are here and we will not go away until this country and our freedoms are safe in the hands of the PEOPLE where they rightfully belong. Like 40% of my fellow Americans I am a proud CONSERVATIVE, not a socialist, progressive, liberal or moderate who wants to reshape what already is the greatest country on the face of the earth. And to Major Tom - have you taken a look at Congress ratings lately?

Boy does he wish.

It all depends on how long Fox News continues to sponsor and promote them.

HEY-- KRUGMAN:
BACK IN DAY OF THE ORIGINAL “TEA PARTY” – THEY HAD A COUPLE OF SAYINGS THAT APPLY TODAY – “KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY” AND “DON’T FIRE TILL YOU SEE THE WHITES OF THEIR EYES!” YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET, BUDDY !!!
donnarooty
Yep CLM....it's called PREPARATION! They think we are all just sitting back blogging.....they are so far off base it's actually comical how out of touch they are with our movement...talk about clueless....they will surely bring about their own demise. They themselves have called this a WAR.

Richard from NY said it best: Krugman, like the New York Times, is totally irrelevant. He's not worth the ink to report anything he has to say. Period.

The Tea Party Express will be around alot longer than you, Paul Krugman. When we take back our country, you'll be sitting on the side of the road, wondering what happened to MSNBC, your progaganda machine. Your New York Times magazine will be MUD when no one buys a copy anymore. The reason the New York Times is in the SEWER, is the ugly faces you promote of the front pages. No one wants to buy your magazine with communist on the front cover.
sandyinohio
also right..."progressives" is the new name for the communists from the 60s who are now, we hope, temporarily in power, after having LIED to the American people to get elected. True Alinsky-style.

He has the crazed look of a wild-eyed jihadist, better check under his coat for a bomb vest.

I think Krugman's confused with the New York Times.

The Keynesians and Marxists have also come and gone, except for you, of course.

HEY KRUGMAN WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED. YOU ARE A SORRY ASS WRITER. GET OUT OF HERE. GO TO CUBA WITH SEAN AND MICHAEL.

Looks like the Progressives will have their own tea party;
Moveon.org issued a warning Tuesday to any Democrat who might join Republicans to filibuster a government-run insurance option -- if you oppose the government option you will lose support from the organization's 5 million members.
The group said it surveyed its members over the weekend and found that "93 percent of MoveOn members agreed that any senator who helps block an up-or-down vote on a health care bill with the public option should lose the support of all five million of us -- no donations, no volunteering, and no help getting out the vote."

But if they are worthy, they will collect support from us as promised.

Not worth the semen that brought him here.

Yeah, I think most of Krugman went down his father's leg ;-)

Did you look at this guy? Paul Krugman even looks like he needs to be in a mental institution.

Krugman has only to look in the mirror to find the "teabagger," closest to him.

Oh NO Krugman...Obama and his left wing radical followers have woken America up...I think people will pay very close attention to who their voting for from now on!!!

He is not important, just like dog poop that you step on and can't stand the smell and have to rinse it off before you throw up.

Krugman is, like the NYT... irrelevant!
Nite Ranger
@Canadian, Have you looked at the Polls lately Genius? Just for the record, and to inform you and all the other uninformed tone deaf libs. It's not Republicans who are losing credibility! The more your dear leader Barry, and Pelosi, Reid and the rest of your clueless leadership speak about "Obama care". Their approval ratings, @ credibility sink like rocks!
Major Tom
that's cause repubs can't get much lower in the polls.
Prussian Patriot
No one reads his column anyway. No one trusts the NYT.
