Krugman: GOP Hysteria Over Dems Not Same As Election Theft

Although he did not get a chance to elaborate, Paul Krugman does a good job on This Week pointing out that there is a certain portion of Republicans who act hysterical about Democrats being elected and don't consider them legitimate. Cokie Roberts tries to compare that to Democrats rightfully pointing out that the last two elections were stolen. It's not the same thing Cokie. More fake balance and unequal analogies to try to put how awful the Republicans have acted as equal to Democrats.

Go, Paul! Stealing elections does take the shine off Republican legitimacy.

Cokie Roberts is a shill for the rethugs. How can she say it's equivalent except that she's sold her soul.

@ineffable27 Study finds Paul Krugman is the most partisan economist. Krugman was the only economist to "significantly" change his stances for partisan reasons. Krugman has even gone so far as to contradict his own findings to bash Republican politicians. - Brett Barkley, Econ Journal Watch, May 2010

Roberts: another journalist with a balance fetish. As such, a menace.

The rest of the world is slowly realizing that LIBERALISM works best for all people & their environment.

I am always bewildered by the fact that POOR WHITES, & even some minorities, support the conservative movement in such great numbers & continue to do terribly for that unwavering support

Conservatives IMHO "tend to be" wealthy or very poor, fearful of everyone who is different, hostilely religious, jingoistic, & racist. The only thing they seem to care about above all else is unborn babies.
