Pick up a copy? I've got better things to do with my money.

Just picked up a copy for a Christmas gift! Amazon is selling it for 15 and change!

Glad to see he's not running from the word "liberal". Now that we are getting the "L" word back we can work on branding "conservative" as everything backward, hateful, incompetent, lawless, bigoted, warmongering and deficit spending. Through repetition we can do to their word what they did to ours and with the truth.

How about Naomi Klein's "Shock Doctrine" instead? I like Krugman though, he's only a moderately delusional liberal.

I'll put it on my Xmas list... oops, make that "holiday" list. :)

Make that NC17-list.

That way it'll be given to the naughty or the naughtiest.

I bought it along with Colbert's new book they day they came out. On page 60 and very good reading. I called Pete Stark's office yesterday and talked with an aide to tell her our local right wing nut job talk show host was telling everyone to call his office and blast him. I told her to hang in there and that the day would be over soon. I also told her I wished more people would have his GUTS.

Bring it to your locally socialist party meeting

Go read a primer on political philosophy and learn the difference between socialism and liberalism, so you can stop embarrassing yourself with idiotic statements.

Please Timmy, tell us who is a fully delusional liberal.

Rush, is that you?

Pete Stark is a tough guy. He'll stand pat, as he should. It's just another "opportunity" for the regressives to change the subject and not have to face up to their votes. They're the masters of the personal smear, and, of course, the first to holler when they claim someone else is doing it. Anyway, lets buy both the Klein and Krugman books. And while you're at it, I highly recommend "The Architect, Karl Rove" (James Moore and Wayne Slater), plenty of additional ammo if you need it for why Liberals can feel morally good about themselves that they're not a willing or duped participant in the Karl Rove/Grover Norquist etc view of reality and politics.

Kind of a redundant title, isn;t it?

Donald Negri @ 25:

I'm waiting for "Conscience Of A NeoCon Conservative" - preferably written by slimeball John Boehner.

I'd prefer it by Jeff Gannon.

I don't get the arrows on the cover. They're backwards. The big blue arrow is pointing to the right. Shouldn't it be pointing to the left?

What's with all the R-Trolls ?

I mean is there a contract out on Krugman?

Tom Friedman

I could go on ...

I actually do like Paul Krugman though, I wasn't being sarcastic - he's one of the few liberal pundits who isn't a neo-liberal imperialist slimeball, which is what nearly all Democratic politicians currently are.

Just to clarify, there are liberals I respect greatly:
Jim Hightower
D Kucinich
Mike Gravel
Cynthia McKinney
Mike Malloy
Naomi Klein

(no I am not really a communist, I am a libertarian socialist)

I'm sure this book will be as good as the original Conscience of a Liberal book by Paul Wellstone.

No, no. It is COMING from the left, see? Although, just as (unintentionally?) telling, it shows the Blue team running to the right rather than holding their ground. The story of the Democratic party for the last 20 some years. Here's a hint blue team: the more you move the right, the further the Haggards, Dobsons, and Wolfowitzs will move to the further right.

I'm not sure why it is riding up on top of the red arrow that is going down, tho... hrm. Let's have no Larry Craig shenanigans here... ;)

So apparently I agree with "communist libertarian socialist homosexual menace" @ 34. When Edwards is the left most electable in the party, you have problems!

Liberals? Hardly.

Yes we have a conscience....something the repugs lack.....
