Paul Krugman at NYT wants to know what it is about Al Gore that drives right-wingers crazy. Here’s Krugman’s theory:
The worst thing about Mr. Gore, from the conservative point of view, is that he keeps being right. In 1992, George H. W. Bush mocked him as the “ozone man,” but three years later the scientists who discovered the threat to the ozone layer won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In 2002 he warned that if we invaded Iraq, “the resulting chaos could easily pose a far greater danger to the United States than we presently face from Saddam.”
That’s true if you (A) believe the Nobel Prize committee is the last word on anything and (B) if you think Saddam at the end of a rope is more dangerous to the United States than Saddam at large, without sanctions, with nukes. The maddening thing about Gore is, he keeps being hailed as a prophet despite repeated evidence that at best, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, and at worst, he’s making things up.
Krugman, however, is unquestioning in his faith:
Climate change is, however, harder to deal with than acid rain, because the causes are global. The sulfuric acid in America’s lakes mainly comes from coal burned in U.S. power plants, but the carbon dioxide in America’s air comes from coal and oil burned around the planet — and a ton of coal burned in China has the same effect on the future climate as a ton of coal burned here. So dealing with climate change not only requires new taxes or their equivalent; it also requires international negotiations in which the United States will have to give as well as get.
Everything I’ve just said should be uncontroversial …
Only it’s not.
Today, being a good Republican means believing that taxes should always be cut, never raised. It also means believing that we should bomb and bully foreigners, not negotiate with them.
Correct re taxes. About those foreigners …. definitely, the ones you can’t negotiate with. I think he’s starting to get it.
So if science says that we have a big problem that can’t be solved with tax cuts or bombs — well, the science must be rejected, and the scientists must be slimed.
Actually, it’s the prevaricating pols that must be slimed. When it comes to science, the people who get slimed, and deprived of research funds, are those who question global warming orthodoxy.
What Krugman needs to understand about Gore Derangement Syndrome is this. It’s simple. You could put it on a bumpersticker: Gore Lied, No One Will Die.
But in the end, Gore is really not that maddening. The institutions that have anointed him … the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, neither academy nor deeply engaged in pursuit of either art or science … and the Nobel Prize committee, a handful of Scandinavians whose worldview is exalted primarily by the large amounts of dynamite profits they have to dole out … are not actually involved in making decisions that govern this world.
In the contest that matters most, Gore still lost. Unelect him again in ‘08!
Welcome, Malkinistas, Memestreamers, etal! So good to see you. Come on in. Got religion? Get thee out front of that genocide issue! Here’s an inconvenient truth if I ever saw one. Here’s an idea. How about mobile kill groups.

Gore doesn’t bug me; the idiots and morons treating him like a prophet are what bothers me. It’s like there’s pandemic cognitive dissonance sweeping the globe, lowering the IQ and destroying the critical thinking capabilities of a large portion of the human population.
Of which Krugman is a perfect example. Too bad the NYT took down that firewall; I didn’t miss his sneering drivel.

“Today, being a good Republican means believing that taxes should always be cut, never raised.”
Talk about clueless. How many times have Dems argued against GOP tax cuts by claiming that they will benefit the rich, end of argument? Any tax cut on the rich is ipso facto a bad tax cut. To believe this, you must believe that taxes on the rich can NEVER, EVER, POSSIBLY, CONCEIVABLY be too high. And he says Republicans have a simplistic view of taxation? Phooey.

Kooky Krugman: Right Has ‘Gore Derangement Syndrome’
Such is life as a hack for the New York Times, you suffer so much for your hatred for the right, you can’t even come up with an original term to ascribe to those you detest.

More Gore ?
This “piece” is funny and well worth reading.
Well, the average US household consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours of electricity. In 2006, the Gores wolfed down nearly 221,000kWh.

What do you expect from Krugman? Have you ever seen him on C-SPAN? The expression “shifty-eyed” could have been invented to describe him.
October 15th, 2007 at 1:49 pm
Ok, I can’t stop myself.
the Goreacle™ actually said, as reported in that “piece”…
“We are,” warns Gore, “altering the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe”.
October 15th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
According to Gore, man is this omnipotent creature capable of “altering the balance of energy between our planet and the rest of the universe.” My friends, there are few people who admire and value individual human beings more than I, even if what I value most is nothing more than an unrealized potential in too many. But even I, for all my love of man, do not ascribe to the species the ability to change the nature of the universe. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of another person who concerned themselves with the “ecology” of the entire universe. This goes so far beyond concern for the Earth, or even Mars, that it makes me wonder what is really behind it. I think Al Gore finds man so hateful, he would wipe the entire species out of existence all together–to save the universe, of course, lest one think he is an evil man-hating destroyer.

Perhaps he’s been watching Plan 9 From Outer Space…
Colonel Tom Edwards: Why is it so important that you want to contact the governments of our earth?
Eros: Because of death. Because all you of Earth are idiots.
Jeff Trent: Now you just hold on, Buster.
Eros: No, you hold on. First was your firecracker, a harmless explosive. Then your hand grenade: you began to kill your own people, a few at a time. Then the bomb. Then a larger bomb: many people are killed at one time. Then your scientists stumbled upon the atom bomb, split the atom. Then the hydrogen bomb, where you actually explode the air itself. Now you can arrange the total destruction of the entire universe served by our sun: The only explosion left is the Solaranite.
Colonel Tom Edwards: Why, there’s no such thing. …

I don’t think Algore hates man, I think he hates himself.
Maybe that’s what he and Krugman share in common, a kind of profound self loathing.
(the doctor is OUT, much to your relief :-)
October 15th, 2007 at 3:14 pm
Well, aside from the fact I’ve never read a Krugman piece that didn’t sound like it wasn’t a regurgitation of his daily leftist breakfast pablum, and as much as I enjoyed reading this bit:
The problem is there actually are far too many of these people:
who vote, and fare too many politicians on the left side of the aisle who are keenly aware of this. And they areinvolved in making decisions that govern this world.
They follow the pied pipers of Gore and Krugman with a song of misplaced self-righteousness in their hearts.
October 15th, 2007 at 4:33 pm
I agree with TRJS. I don’t hate Algore, I just don’t want to see him involved in any policy decisions. As long as he stays out of that loop, he can plant all of the tobacco that he wants. He can even hop into his jet and go on vacation to Europe twice a month if he wants.
