Paul Krugman & The New York Times Are Such Jokers
It is very difficult to keep up with the dishonesty from the liberal media these days.
Today, the renowned columnist Paul Krugman at The New York Times goes on a conservative-bashing rampage. His column is nothing more than a list of mean-spirited liberal talking points:
"Conservatives Are Such Jokers"First of all, Claire McCaskill lied in those ads on stem cell research.
...Before the last election, the actor Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson’s and has become an advocate for stem cell research that might lead to a cure, made an ad in support of Claire McCaskill, the Democratic candidate for Senator in Missouri. It was an effective ad, in part because Mr. Fox’s affliction was obvious.
And Rush Limbaugh — displaying the same style he exhibited in his recent claim that members of the military who oppose the Iraq war are “phony soldiers” and his later comparison of a wounded vet who criticized him for that remark to a suicide bomber — immediately accused Mr. Fox of faking it. “In this commercial, he is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He is moving all around and shaking. And it’s purely an act.” Heh-heh-heh.
Senator Jim Talent was not against stem cell research, just embryonic stem cell research where embryos are killed. Claire knew this. She ran the ad anyway.
Rush Limbaugh never claimed that those who oppose the war are phony soldiers. That was a lie by Hillary Clinton's Media Matters. But, Krugman repeated it anyway.
Rush Limbaugh never compared a wounded vet who criticized him for that remark to a suicide bomber. That was a also a lie by Hillary Clinton's Media Matters. But, Krugman repeated it anyway.
That was just two paragraphs!
Shame on Paul Krugman and The New York Times for their dishonest report.
Is this what the media has become? Just a bunch of liberals repeating the talking points of Hillary Clinton's Media Matters website?
If Paul Krugman and The New York Times believe this column passes for honest journalism-
then we all know who the real jokers are.
On the other hand... This post on economics at Instapundit is more worth your time.
MORE... I'm a Pundit, Too reports on the financial backing MoveOn.org gives Media Matters and debunks (again) the liberal lies against Rush.

Does Paul Krugman live to be fisked?
Donald Luskin has grand old time fisking the fool Krugman as this EXAMPLE shows...
What are the odds that fool Krugman will pen an angry screed about the following?
Tainted campaign donations will be kept, Democrats say
A spokesman for the Democratic National Committee said more than $1 million in donations from attorneys who pleaded guilty or have been indicted on federal charges for an alleged $11.8 million kickback scheme will not be returned.
The donations, according to Federal Election Commission and state campaign finance databases, come from William S. Lerach, totaling $600,000 between 1998 and 2002, and from Melvyn Weiss, for a total of $25,000 in 1997.
Lerach pleaded guilty in mid-September to one felony count of conspiracy stemming from a seven-year federal investigation into the kickback scheme that began in 1981 and netted the New York law firm Milberg Weiss more than $200 million from verdicts and settlements in an estimated 150 cases.
Weiss was indicted last month on charges of conspiracy, racketeering, obstruction of justice and making false statements for his alleged role in the scheme. The firm bearing his name was indicted in this same federal investigation, the first time Justice Department prosecutors have applied federal anti-racketeering laws against a law firm.

parallel to the Hsu fiasco??

The dirty little secret about stem cells everyone wants to hide is that adult stem cells can do everything embryonic stem cells can do and since they are from the host body will not require anti rejection drugs like a foreign embryonic stem cell would.
The ONLY ONLY reason people are pushing embryonic stem cells is you can patent products made from them and you cant from adult stem cells.
Simply follow the money.
"Rush Limbaugh never claimed that those who oppose the war are phony soldiers."
Widdle Jimmy "Gateway Pissant" Hoft is lying to his readers... again.
Here's the transcript of the calls to Limbaugh the day he called soldiers who favor withdrawal "phony soldiers":
=== begin transcript ===
LIMBAUGH: Mike in Chicago, welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER 1: Hi Rush, how you doing today?
LIMBAUGH: I'm fine sir, thank you.
CALLER 1: Good. Why is it that you always just accuse the Democrats of being against the war and suggest that there are absolutely no Republicans that could possibly be against the war?
LIMBAUGH: Well, who are these Republicans? I can think of Chuck Hagel, and I can think of Gordon Smith, two Republican senators, but they don't want to lose the war like the Democrats do. I can't think of -- who are the Republicans in the anti-war movement?
CALLER 1: I'm just -- I'm not talking about the senators. I'm talking about the general public -- like you accuse the public of all the Democrats of being, you know, wanting to lose, but --
LIMBAUGH: Oh, come on! Here we go again. I uttered a truth, and you can't handle it, so you gotta call here and change the subject. How come I'm not also hitting Republicans? I don't know a single Republican or conservative, Mike, who wants to pull out of Iraq in defeat. The Democrats have made the last four years about that specifically.
CALLER 1: Well, I am a Republican, and I've listened to you for a long time, and you're right on a lot of things, but I do believe that we should pull out of Iraq. I don't think it's winnable. And I'm not a Democrat, but I just -- sometimes you've got to cut the losses.
LIMBAUGH: Well, you -- you --
CALLER 1: I mean, sometimes you really gotta know when you're wrong.
LIMBAUGH: Well, yeah, you do. I'm not wrong on this. The worst thing that can happen is losing this, flying out of there, waving the white flag. Do you have --
CALLER 1: Oh, I'm not saying that. I'm not saying anything like that, but, you know --
LIMBAUGH: Well, of course you are.
CALLER 1: No, I'm not.
LIMBAUGH: Bill, the truth is -- the truth is the truth, Mike.
CALLER 1: We did what we were supposed to do, OK. We got rid of Saddam Hussein. We got rid of a lot of the terrorists. Let them run their country --
LIMBAUGH: Oh, good lord! Good lord.
[...]
CALLER 1: How long is it gonna -- how long do you think we're going to have to be there for them to take care of that?
LIMBAUGH: Mike --
CALLER 1: How long -- you know -- what is it?
LIMBAUGH: Mike --
CALLER 1: What is it?
LIMBAUGH: Mike, you can't possibly be a Republican.
CALLER 1: I am.
LIMBAUGH: You are -- you are --
CALLER 1: I am definitely a Republican.
LIMBAUGH: You can't be a Republican. You are --
CALLER 1: Oh, I am definitely a Republican.
LIMBAUGH: You are tarnishing the reputation, 'cause you sound just like a Democrat.
CALLER 1: No, but --
LIMBAUGH: The answer to your question --
CALLER 1: -- seriously, how long do we have to stay there --
LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes!
CALLER 1: -- to win it? How long?
LIMBAUGH: As long as it takes! It is very serious.
CALLER 1: And that is what?
LIMBAUGH: This is the United States of America at war with Islamofascists. We stay as long -- just like your job. You do everything you have to do, whatever it takes to get it done, if you take it seriously.
CALLER 1: So then you say we need to stay there forever --
LIMBAUGH: I -- it won't --
CALLER 1: -- because that's what it'll take.
LIMBAUGH: No, Bill, or Mike -- I'm sorry. I'm confusing you with the guy from Texas.
CALLER 1: See, I -- I've used to be military, OK? And I am a Republican.
LIMBAUGH: Yeah. Yeah.
CALLER 1: And I do live [inaudible] but --
LIMBAUGH: Right. Right. Right, I know.
CALLER 1: -- you know, really -- I want you to be saying how long it's gonna take.
LIMBAUGH: And I, by the way, used to walk on the moon!
CALLER 1: How long do we have to stay there?
LIMBAUGH: You're not listening to what I say. You can't possibly be a Republican. I'm answering every question. That's not what you want to hear, so it's not even penetrating your little wall of armor you've got built up.
[...]
LIMBAUGH: Another Mike, this one in Olympia, Washington. Welcome to the EIB Network. Hello.
CALLER 2: Hi Rush, thanks for taking my call.
LIMBAUGH: You bet.
CALLER 2: I have a retort to Mike in Chicago, because I am a serving American military, in the Army. I've been serving for 14 years, very proudly.
LIMBAUGH: Thank you, sir.
CALLER 2: And, you know, I'm one of the few that joined the Army to serve my country, I'm proud to say, not for the money or anything like that. What I would like to retort to is that, if we pull -- what these people don't understand is if we pull out of Iraq right now, which is about impossible because of all the stuff that's over there, it'd take us at least a year to pull everything back out of Iraq, then Iraq itself would collapse, and we'd have to go right back over there within a year or so. And --
LIMBAUGH: There's a lot more than that that they don't understand. They can't even -- if -- the next guy that calls here, I'm gonna ask him: Why should we pull -- what is the imperative for pulling out? What's in it for the United States to pull out? They can't -- I don't think they have an answer for that other than, "Well, we just gotta bring the troops home."
CALLER 2: Yeah, and, you know what --
LIMBAUGH: "Save the -- keep the troops safe" or whatever. I -- it's not possible, intellectually, to follow these people.
CALLER 2: No, it's not, and what's really funny is, they never talk to real soldiers. They like to pull these soldiers that come up out of the blue and talk to the media.
LIMBAUGH: The phony soldiers.
CALLER 2: The phony soldiers. If you talk to a real soldier, they are proud to serve. They want to be over in Iraq. They understand their sacrifice, and they're willing to sacrifice for their country.
LIMBAUGH: They joined to be in Iraq. They joined --
CALLER 2: A lot of them -- the new kids, yeah.
LIMBAUGH: Well, you know where you're going these days, the last four years, if you signed up. The odds are you're going there or Afghanistan or somewhere.
CALLER 2: Exactly, sir.
=== end transcript ===
You can also listen to the calls.
Limbaugh was referring specifically to soldiers who favor withdrawal "phony soldiers". That's what he said, and that's exactly what he meant.
We all know what people in the Soviet Union used to say about Pravda and Izvestia.
"There is no truth in Pravda and there is no news in Izvestia."
(For those who do not know Pravda means truth in Russian, Izvestia means news.)
The NYT is the LLL Pravda, the WaPo the LLL Izvestia. I view anything printed in them as pure propaganda until proven otherwise.

Media Myths
Stem Cell Research and Cloning
excerpt:
[Myth 3. Embryonic stem cell research has the greatest promise.
Up to now, no human being has ever been cured of a disease using embryonic stem cells.
Adult stem cells, on the other hand, have already cured thousands.
For example, bone marrow cells from the hipbone have repaired scar tissue on the heart after heart attacks.
Research using adult cells is 20-30 years ahead of embryonic stem cells and holds greater promise.
This is in part because stem cells are part of the natural repair mechanisms of an adult body, while embryonic stem cells do not belong in an adult body (where they are likely to form tumors, and to be rejected as foreign tissue by the recipient). Rather, embryonic stem cells really belong only within in the specialized microenvironment of a rapidly growing embryo, which is a radically different setting from an adult body.]

may i have your attention everyone..
it's official..
meatbrians opinions are imaginary FACTS..
Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!

The Rush transcript does not in any way say that any soldier opposing the war was phoney - he was referring to the people who come "out of the blue" and are pushed by the media. It seems consisent to read that as referring to the media phoney up jobs (perhaps extending to the New Republic actual soldier who pushed fantasy stories, the phoney there being every thing he said rather than the soldier status).
As to Michael Fox - didn't he admit to going off of his meds in order to exaggerate his sympotoms for the camera?
