Peter Schiff's Unhealthy Obsession With Brilliant Nobel Prize Economist Paul Krugman

As we all know, most idiots have problems with being exposed as idiots and accepting the reality that there are much smarter, more knowledgeable people around in this world than them.

This is exactly the case with our friend, Peter Schiff. Its a hard pill for Peter to swallow that brilliant economist and Nobel Prize Laureate Paul Krugman is internationally recognized for his contribution to economics by academics and business leaders - as opposed to himself being a lowly stockbroker with an awful track record (both in terms of financial performance and predictions) and a mass of uneducated cultists as followers. Its a double kick in the nuts when Paul Krugman (rightly) advocates more stimulus as opposed to ignorant witchdoctor Schiff's calls for austerity and credit contraction (note: the US is already experiencing credit contraction at a rate of 5% per month and look where the economy is at).

Therefore Peter Schiff takes every opportunity he gets to have a go at Krugman, despite Krugman probably not even knowing who he is (nor does he care one would assume) - he defames Krugman in 4 of his video blogs from Aug 30 to Nov 1 2010 (2 months). Talk about obsessive love-hate psychotic behavior.

I have included a foreword by our idiotic friend on such behavior and an afterword by Robert Murphy, who is obviously another idiot with an obsession with Krugman.

Answer: Paul Krugman is a highly educated academic, well-respected by his peers in his field of expertise. Peter Schiff is a self-serving opportunist who makes video blogs aimed at viewers who have a dim understanding of economics. Michael Crichton once quoted "The great irony of the information age is the new respectability of the uninformed opinion", which pretty much explains the cult following a huckster like Schiff has garnered on the internet.

@jumpoutatree

Your synthesis is crystal clear and rock solid - the US needs about 150m people like you as replacements for the zombies.

You wanna know why there are all of these hate videos about you. It is because you a fucking conspiracy theorist idiot who needs to shut the fuck up and learn real economics, not bullshit fantasy economics crapped out of Murray Rothbard's ass.

You should not use comment pending approval, it comes across as badly. Although I agree with the video.

@AirelonTrading Thousands predicted the recession, you say? NAME ONE.

@torkjoy1 he is a voice of truth among a gaggle of liars.

[satarnag]

Hey, when you're good and love what you do, you'll go after other people in your field in which distort the facts. Good job Peter Schiff!

[AirelonTrading]

@torkjoy1 So what.

Thousands (and yes, THOUSANDS) are on record for publicly predicting the recession, and have bought Gold and Silver publicly, and think Peter Schiff is absolutely insane.

[Zeldovich]

Schiff can't even pronounce Krugman's name right.

@torkjoy1

He's not an economist, numbnuts.
