Of course Krugman and the NYT have freedom of speech to be free from coercion in publishing whatever opinions they like. Of course, they are "entitled to their opinion".<br /><br />And when they give uninformed, fraudulent and misleading opinions, the proper response is not calling the cops but an informed response explaining the errors of their ways.Bob Roddishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263804608074597937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276561747841568697.post-53566981811224991932010-05-22T19:50:18.403-04:002010-05-22T19:50:18.403-04:00Joe,

I think you might be doing it again and, if you should re-read and re-think about what Krugman said vs. what Anderson said, I think you'll come to the same conclusion.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02195661434955034038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276561747841568697.post-13944990591537711192010-05-22T18:32:05.559-04:002010-05-22T18:32:05.559-04:00I'm going to hate myself in the morning, but s...I'm going to hate myself in the morning, but since no one else appears anxious to point out the obvious, here goes. Joe, your comments don't rise to the level of a third grade argument. Please show us where Dr. Anderson stated that Krugman isn't entitled to his opinion. What he's doing is simply pointing out the ridiculousness of that opinion, much like what I'm doing to you.<br /><br />In regard to your Southern Democrat comment, reread Krugman's accusation and tell us what other possible outcome someone would glean from those words.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704932939972619675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276561747841568697.post-16543897781427513712010-05-22T13:48:59.876-04:002010-05-22T13:48:59.876-04:00Prof. Anderson:
Your comment on the Krugman blog ...Prof. Anderson:<br /><br />Your comment on the Krugman blog was published <a href="http://community.nytimes.com/comments/krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/05/21/parties-change/?permid=46#comment46" rel="nofollow">here</a>.<br /><br />I recently had a comment published on the Krugman blog accusing Krugman of fraudulent misrepresentation of libertarianism and the oil spill. Although published at first, it has since been removed:<br /><br />"This comment has been removed. Comments are moderated and generally will be posted if they are on-topic and not abusive.

Here it is, in case you missed it: "Opinion". So are you saying he is not entitled to an opinion? That does not sound very libertarian of you.<br /><br />"Therefore, Rand Paul is a "Southern Democrat" who is a racist"<br /><br />And how you came to this conclusions is beyond the scope of any reasonable person, and yet another example of the many cognitive bias common in this blog.sb101https://www.blogger.com/profile/05719317618259246022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276561747841568697.post-244595348179888152010-05-22T10:38:24.127-04:002010-05-22T10:38:24.127-04:00It was only government power that ended slavery an...<i>It was only government power that ended slavery and abolished Jim Crow, neither of which would have been eliminated by a purely free market.
