Paul Krugman: 911 America's "Occasion for Shame"; claims Rudy Giuliani, George W. Bush cashed in on the horror

Good grief. Ironically, the column here is as follows: The Conscience of a Liberal. Really? They have the approval of their conscience in matters such as dismembering babies? And the headline of the post: The Years of Shame. Shame? Yup:

What happened after 9/11 — and I think even people on the right know this, whether they admit it or not — was deeply shameful. Te atrocity should have been a unifying event, but instead it became a wedge issue. Fake heroes like Bernie Kerik, Rudy Giuliani, and, yes, George W. Bush raced to cash in on the horror. And then the attack was used to justify an unrelated war the neocons wanted to fight, for all the wrong reasons.

A lot of other people behaved badly. How many of our professional pundits — people who should have understood very well what was happening — took the easy way out, turning a blind eye to the corruption and lending their support to the hijacking of the atrocity?

The memory of 9/11 has been irrevocably poisoned; it has become an occasion for shame. And in its heart, the nation knows it.

Good grief, Krugman1 Can you just shut your pie hole for a single day? It's not about you, or your moonbattery. It's about the almost 3,000 that died 10 years ago.

Not to be outdone(but they were by Krugman), The Detroit Free Press wet into moonbat mode today as well: The almost impossible question to answer about the 9/11 attacks remains 'why?. Earth to freep: because evil does exist in the world. It is black and white. The end.

UPDATE: The hypocrisy here is breathtaking. This was written by a rabid pro-abort over at The Detroit Free Press: The greatest victims were our children. Earth to freep - write editorials opposing the dismemberment of our children, and then maybe we'll let you use kids as human shields for your agenda. Maybe.

Kelly then asked Benjamin why Krugman would bring up such a sore subject on the 10-year anniversary of 9/11 to which she pointed out that the controversial NY Times columnist should be lauded for starting a dialog and making a “courageous statement.”

JAMES TARANTO ON PAUL KRUGMAN: History’s Smallest Monster.

And from another thread:

THOUGHTS ON PAUL KRUGMAN from The Anchoress. “More than anything, Krugman and Dowd have, since 9/11, seemed utterly terrified by an event that didn’t fit their worldview and which forced them to depend upon people they hated for their safety and security. Rather like teenagers who hate that they actually need their stupid, out-of-touch parents, and must constantly howl about it to their friends, who join in because they realize they’re supposed to hate their parents, too. . . . It strikes me that Krugman is, in his own way, taking an ironic stand against the dictatorship of relativism that our pope so frequently decries. After a lifetime of suggesting that there are many kinds of truth, Krugman is now asserting that there is only ONE truth, and it is absolute. And it is his.”
