From Nobel Prize Winning Economist Paul Krugman - The Big Dither

This is totally incorrect. The only school of economists that predicted this across the board were the Austrians and they believe in liquidation not nationalization so if we're basing our opinions on a go forward the Austrian school have been the best predictors of the current crises. 80% of those same neo-keynesians thought everything was fine over the last 10 years.

Thank you! Facts are always so refreshing on a Monday morning.

Your Nobel Prize angst doesn't have shit to do with the fact that Krugman's economic analysis has been proven correct and he's one of this countries most credible economist.

My point is that O'Reilly has no credibility on anything, let alone economic theories.

You believing he "ripped Krugman apart" is laughable.

You realize of course that is the firms led by all those highly 'educated' Ivy League nitwits that are asking to be bailed out right now?

My entire argument is based on Krugman got the Nobel Prize because he has been proven correct about his economic analysis.

Your argument is based on the credibility of Bill O'Reilly.

Too bad they don't have a fall on the floor laughing my ass off emoticon.

That does not make education bad does it, it makes these men and women bad for putting short term profits over the long term health of the market.

They will implode our system to make themselves rich. We cant allow that to happen again.

You gotta be fucking kiddin' me.

THIS was supposed to be O'Reilly slamming Krugman?

:lmao:

When Krugman called him on his rant and told him to point out in the book where he said what the idiot was implying, he couldn't do it.

EVERYTHING I've said in this thread was validated by that video.

I'm starting to agree with Desh .. you people are stupid.

all bluster and anger with not an ounce of fact.

The guy is a complete nut bag.

I remember seeing him on the John Stewart show and John gave him a little white bear as a freindship guesture. Oliely looked at it adn said thanks for the Panda. The crowd laughed thinkign he was joking. He turned and said Thats a panda , they groaned and he was just insistant that the all white bear was panda.

It was just an example of how unstable the man is. He is oblivious to how stupid he looks and can not EVER admitt hes wrong.

The Right follows really unbalenced people.

Was he supposed to have the book memorized page by page? Nice trick, and apparently you fell for it.

Check out time 6:05 where Krugman admits his source: mediamatters. I thought Krugman was going to cry. :)

what is wrong with media matters?
Click to expand...

Media Matters for America (MMFA) was created in spring 2004 in time for the presidential election campaign. Funded by an estimated $2 million in contributions, the group promotes itself as an online watchdog protecting the public from the deceptions and errors of the mass media that has been bullied or blinded by conservatives.

In fact, MMFA is a cog in the growing machine of “progressive” activist and advocacy non-profits, including the online radical agitators at MoveOn.org, the liberal policy wonks at the Center for American Progress and the Democratic get-out-the-vote forces at America Coming Together. These groups were obsessed with defeating President George W. Bush in the 2004 election. Having failed, they have grown increasingly angry and determined.

MMFA has a staff of 59 and is headquartered at 1625 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. MMFA employees have at various times worked for Al Gore, John Edwards, Barney Frank, Wesley Clark, the National Organization for Women (NOW), the Center for American Progress, Greenpeace, the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America (recently rechristened the American Association for Justice) and the Alliance for Justice.


Led by a Confessed Liar

MMFA is the creation of David Brock, a self-described “hit man” and self-confessed liar and gossip peddler. Brock’s own past casts a shadow over his current self-proclaimed dedication to truth-telling. At one time or another, Brock has viciously attacked the Clintons and the Bushes, Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas, Rush Limbaugh and National Public Radio, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Each time he recants a prior assault, he lunges out at a new political enemy.

Brock puts himself in the position of someone who says, “I’m a liar. Believe what I tell you.” Reviewing Brock’s 2002 memoir, Blinded by the Right, journalist Christopher Hitchens wrote, “I would say without any hesitation that he [Brock] is incapable of recognizing the truth, let alone of telling it. The whole book is an exercise in self-love, disguised as an exercise in self-abnegation.” Cultural critic Camille Paglia, a left-leaning Democrat, ridiculed Brock’s confession: “Behold, the writhing snake pit of amoral media ambition!”

The Austrians were always predicting doom.

Austrian economics is pseudo-economics. No reputable economist holds those dangerous and disproven viewpoints.

You want to back O'Reilly as an unbiased journalist, and then get worked up about Media Matters?

O'Reilly was owned in that clip.

LOL, sometimes you are a funny troll.

Austrian economics and Nobel Prize winner FA Hayek won his Nobel by showing how central banks create major swings in the buisness cycle with easy interest rate policy, IE like the 2002, 1% Alan Greenspan Rates will lead to asset bubbles and major downturns.
