Well there goes his Christmas bonus on Fox News of the World.

Fox remains an illegitimate news outlet.

10 years later and something as obvious as “maybe we overreacted” needs to be said?

Yes, the majority of Muslims foreign and domestic just think America is fantastic, they almost all root for the Yankees and Cowboys and they feel just terrible about 9-11.  Right, that’s right isn’t it?  Oh, wait that might not be exactly correct.

I guess I really don’t remember Muslims saying much of anything about 9-11, did they wage a war on extremist?  Did they lift a hand, or even mutter anything to discourage the behavior.  Cowardice or complicity?  

Al Qaeda isn’t under Muslim prayer rugs…. it’s played a little closer to the vest (left breast pocket approx)

Not Al Qaeda , Ralph .

Muslims are overrunning Europe . They are not assimilating . There are now neighborhoods in England where police won’t go without a police escort . So they are lawless and growing . Look at the riots by “youth ” in France .Burning thousands of cars . Western Europe tried to be politically correct and kept giving in to Muslims’ demands and it may be too late there .

A cartoonist in the U.S. named Molly Norris drew a picture of Mohammed and she is currently on the run . In her own country . Time to wake up and face what’s coming here and stop it . They must obey our laws , not their own. It’s still our country .

Do these talking heads make you want to barf, or what? Precious Ralph Peters thinks creepy Kraphummer is “the greatest political columnist we ever had”? Well, yeah; like Perez Hilton is the greatest sports commentator.

micropterus_salmoides is too stupid to mention that most CHRISTIANS, JEWS OR BHUDDISTS DON”T ROOT FOR THE YANKEES AND COWBOYS. Most muslims in America hated what happened on 9/11.

why would most muslims?

Why are you a coward?

Do you have a poosey?

of course, big eddie guy has no proof of his claims about europe.  WAH WAH WAH

big eddie guy is too stupid to mention that since all americans aren’t having as many children..as previous generations… and the babyboomers are passing on.. that must mean immigration reform of some sort

OMG OMG .. big eddie guy is STOOOPID.

” al-Qaeda’s a broken-back snake.”

Good.  Now maybe our military can concentrate on the War On Christmas.

I preferred paris hilton when she was doing action movies. well. laying on the bed and getting railed is action. riht?

Today’s biggest terroristic threat to America and ” real ” American lives is Barack Hussein Obama ll’s ” Death To America ” manifesto. 

He is a Clear & Present danger to our American way of life and in turn our very lives.

He must be stopped ( voted out ) at any cost, as not doing so guarantees we lose everything anyway.

I am glad you are so consumed with our President.

I thought the riots were related to welfare, not religion.

You could just as easily bring up the fact that a huge chunk of Christians hate the entire world and sit around rooting for end times and rapture.

How do you function in day-to-day life with that kind of paranoia and stupidity running through you?

‘Unfortunately’ there friend……dont believe for a second that these are people from the ‘left’ telling you this;-)………if you can believe where he stood(opinion) from the start, why not believe his opinion now??

So ummmmm….I take it, ‘you dont have FAITH in the U.S.Constituition, rt?’

Barack_must_gO provides zero proof that President Obama is the biggest terroristic threat

IT IS JUST HIS OPINION.

no proof. :)

Thats pretty-much how I heard it as well……more specifically, ‘the poor wanting to take more from the more affluent!’

remember that guy fox and other channels had on with the beard and glasses. I cant remember his name he was supposedly a terror expert and claimed we would never get Osama Bin Laden. I haven’t seen him around much anymore.

Well, actually, he should function well in this ‘inter-net-warrior-world’ since he does fit the definition:The action for which a person or thing is particularly fitted…..and this is a place for spouting off, rt?? Doesnt matter if you’re right or left wing! 

Well said, you have won me the argument.

It’s an absolute blessing George Bush is no longer president. Fox News producers will now allow criticism of war policy as we witnessed for the first time in Obama’s Libyan operation. After 911, Fox News became the War on Terror network aggressively promoting George Bush as a highly successful commander in chief. War on Terror was constantly sprayed across the screen with triumphant music and favorable programming for the wars. The facts that he was fathering the two longest, most poorly managed wars in American history were completely irrelevant. George Bush was a Republican president at time of war; that’s all that mattered at Fox so called News.       

Is it nice on the planet you inhabit?

Sadly, cooler heads were saying just that and were increasingly drowned out by the hysterical pronouncements of-dare I say it?-politicians. Which brings to mind a quote by a gentleman whose name presently slips my mind(but you are welcome to Google, yourselves…): “How do wars start? Politicians lie to the press, then believe what they read.”.

And right after this interview Fox did another story on the evil community center that is the ground zero mosque didn’t they? If not they should have.

 Agreed, I think we should invade every country that doesn’t celebrate Christmas.

Anyone who cheers for the Cowboys and Yankees is a tool.

Crazy people have first amendment rights as well.

Well, good luck with that Colonel with these wackadoos who don’t give a crap about any facts. 

Enlighten us, please! Impart knowledge on all of us!

In other words, get a grip righties and overcome your fears. Living in fear means al qaeda won

Don’t forget his middle name!! Keep on watching Fox News and listening to Rush Limbaugh. They will help you remember.

Thanks to your support and the outpouring of 71,000 signatures, the
Lower Manhattan Development Corporation has refused federal funds for
the Ground Zero Park51 Mosque!  They made their decision at their
meeting on Wednesday, September 7th.

“Most muslims in America hated what happened on 9/11.”

Says who?

Obama is already doing that…

once again, texan provides accusations and no proof.

LOLZ coward! He’s too afraid to provide proof!

Too bad, so sad Ralph.  We remember the prayer rugs who bombed us this anniversary.

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters statements here on 9/11 weren’t the best or the most profound that I’ve come across today, but perhaps good for perspective adjustment.

I can’t wait for Mediaite to tackle Paul Krugman’s reprehensible piece of disrespect he offered the country today. It was truly disgusting. It was certainly more newsworthy than this thing from Peters.

No. What is too bad is that Fox News and the Republican Party under Bush imagined prayer rugs with WMDS in another country as a casus belli for starting an unnecessary war.

I don’t usually care for Krugman but he hit a home run with that short piece. From day one 9/11 and all it’s victims have been milked for all their worth and it’s still happening.

I just took a look at your activities page.  Every “contribution” you have here is some two sentence anti-Fox statement or some variation thereof.  Propagandize much?  Besides, you’re spouting revisionist talking point BS.  Every indicator the governments of the world had was that Iraq had WMD, and that was after 8 years of Clinton’s presidency.

How about you stop spewing nonsense and think about what you post once in awhile?

Just an unthinking anti-Fox propagandist.  Check the poster’s activities log.  Page after page of the guy essentially using “you’re a Fox viewer, aren’t you?” as his go to mode of online debate.

“Fox News.”  Drink!

“Rush Limbaugh.”  Drink!

I guess the invasion made the WMDs disappear into the thin desert air.

I’m surprised the writer of this piece, Josh Feldman, didn’t do enough research on Peters to mention that this  vapid Fox ‘analyst’, was, until recently one of the more rabid Islamaphobes . Peters like some of his peers who were mentioned in the insane Norwegian killer, Brevik’s plan of action, i.e. Beck, the Tea Partiers, etc, is now trying to atone for his exterme anti-Islam stance by playing nice,nice to Muslims. Peters is also one of the big time defenders of the Israel con do no wrong school of stupid diplomacy. Context, Mr Feldman, helps to sort out the people you’re writing about. Peters is way down the feeding chain of lying, distorting rightwing pundits who are usually on the wrong side of history..

We never lived in fear.  That’s your empty talking point.  Instead, we were vigilant, and supported fully “breaking the backs” of our enemies.  You may have lived in cowardice, refusing to have recognized the fight before you that bore such success as was the topic under discussion above, but that’s your problem.  Not ours.

I don’t think anything Peters said here was distinctly off, but being overly celebratory over the gradual decline of Al-Qaeda might still be too tight a focus.  For the radicalism in the Islamic world is bound to take other avenues, likely to lend support to such as the Muslim Brotherhood, for one (soon to be opening a branch in a Muslim country near you once established at the head of a state).

And Al-Qaeda itself was only ever an umbrella group around which those “franchises” could coalesce.  The umbrella might be good and busted for now, but what’s to stop those franchises from coming together under another one in a few years?  For us to now lose sight of the larger picture might prove to be a grievous mistake as serious as ignoring what was going on in Afghanistan after the withdrawal of the Soviets.

Don’t hold your breath for a critique of Mr. “I’m not going to allow comment on this post, for obvious reasons” Krugman (he couldn’t afford the server space to hold the amount of disdain the column ought to generate?).  They may use it in a day or two as supportive evidence for some thing or another.

I disagree.  I don’t feel shame on this day, I never have.  I feel sadness and I think most of the nation does too.  Commemorations are and should be subdued because it’s a solemn occasion, not a shameful one.

What happened to us on 9/11 caused a miriad of emotions for everyone and consternation about what happened and what we need to do to go forward.  The memory of 9/11 stays the same for each one of us.  It seems like yesterday to many people.  But every year we move forward and our perspective changes.  The commemorations help us to remember what we felt then and how we’ve changed since then.

What purpose does your “quip” serve?  For it discounts nothing I asserted.  The intelligence agencies of the world governments were in near universal agreement that there were WMDs – mostly owing to the fact that Saddam Hussein, for the purpose of maintaining fear in the hearts of his own populace, wished for everyone to believe he still had them.

Assuming a caustic pose when you cannot counter a statement wins you no points, it only shows your reservoir of reason to be empty.  Fill it with something, and come back, preferably with something that rings true.

You forgot to wedge Rush Limbaugh into your inside-out world paranoia.

For the 10th straight year you’ve probably been told this, those with whom we’ve been at war, those of whom Peter’s and others have warned of and spoken against, are themselves attempting to claim the leadership of all Islam.  One day you’re going to get it – or finally come to the conclusion you need to have your ear canal cleaned out.

Progressives.  Never understanding, never making the effort too.

You’re right, of course. We shouldn’t minimize a threat that is active around the world.

I can’t imagine how anyone could use Krugman’s indefensible piece of trash to support anything.

You can’t really expect people who rely solely on FauxNews and Andrew “political gossip queen” Breitbart’s “news” sites for their news to actually listen to reason, do you? 

I’m not surprised that Krugman is such a nemesis to rightwingers. He’s very articulate, blunt and direct. I spent this afternoon in the Wall Street area visiting a friend. We walked around, the security was formidable for New York and the crowds were fairly large and somber. Yes, my dear conservative, Tea Partying friends, most people were horrified and hurt by 9/11, but Bush did use it for other purposes which have hurt America tremendously. For no sensible reason our country under Bush destroyed another country and crippled our own economy. It’s obvious that we should have some degree of shame over what we did, but this is not a conversation that the rightwing wants to get into, even though it’s staring us smack in the face. And, besides, we all know it’s Obama’s fault!

proof = respect and credibility

no proof = mocked

texan doesn’t mention that there was a mosque in the pentagon and the pentagon was hit.

LOLZ MIND BLOWN.

news flash.  its hard for you to claim moral leadership of any topic without posting your real name :)

GordenBloyer?  Is that you?

Another Fox paid consultant jealous Obama’s military elitists took out bin Laden.

I actually feel more sorry for you than anything. It must suck to live in such fear and paranoia day in and day out. But it’s self-inflicted, so any sympathy I have for you is limited. Still… kind of sad.

Barack 0bama and the terror you spread across the United States -

” We will NEVER FORGET “

You just know the kid is gonna believe that and get a swelled head.

LOL! Yes, your vigilant commenting on internet articles was definitely the difference.

Ah.  I see you’ve detected a hint of hyperbole within my post, and thought to comment on it.  As opposed to understanding that my comment was issued in direct response to one above it possessed of a similar strain of hyperbole to which I merely responded in kind – and critiquing, if anything, the subject.  Ever the hypocrites, you progressives, in defense and support of your own.

In your case, Al Qaeda won.

And Muslim prayer rooms in the Trade Center.

 You sort of have a point, let’s make a compromise and say we lived in paranoia.

Actually, Texan is sort of right.  Does Iraq celebrate Christmas?  Does Afghanistan celebrate Christmas?  Does Pakistan celebrate Christmas?  Does Libya celebrate Christmas?  We think this is all about oil, but this just might be all about Christmas.

Tell that one to Billdo and “I soil myself on airplanes” Juan Williams.

And to the other ignorant racist bigots wearing the “9-11 cross” falling from the sky among the eveeel deed.

Here’s what the NY Times, through a post from one of its icons, thinks about the attack on September 11:

Remember as you read Paul Krugman’s latest exercise in self-aggrandizement, the he is speaking on behalf of what today’s Democratic Party has morphed into.

NY Times, 9-11-11

Is it just me, or are the 9/11 commemorations oddly subdued?
Actually, I don’t think it’s me, and it’s not really that odd.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.I’m not going to allow comments on this post, for obvious reasons*.================================================* The “obvious reasons” are that any of his demeaning contentions would be routinely debunked – kinda like his economic theories, which we’re feeling the wrath of today.

I don’t feel shame on ‘this day’ either; more like dismay.

I don’t feel shame on ‘this day’ either; more like dismay.

Did two people like this comment because of its….ahem…originality or for the childishness.  “Pit Boss” implies some type of leadership….garbage?

Fact: On 9-11-2001 I didn’t see liberals running amok spewing their dung. Then 9-12-2001 came and it was stated by these pukes that it had to be an inside job done by Bush himself and as far as I think they can all go to hell!

In 2005, the riots started after two muslim youths attempted to avoid a police check point, leapt into a power sub-station and were electrocuted.  Per WaPo

In 2007, rioting began due to the death of two muslim youths that had driven their motorcycle through an intersection and crashed into a squad car.

In 2009, it was a soccer game:

I think I understand what Krugman is trying to say, and he is uncharacteristically clumsy in his text. All of the wrong messages were sent out my the W Administration on 11 September and in its immediate aftermath. The Administration focused on fear, on retribution, on a fight to come, but mostly on fear. The focus on fear detracted us from the nefarious workings of the loathsome and dangerous Neo-Cons, Big D*ck, Donnie and, to a lesser extent, Condi. We were so busy being prodded into being fearful, so busy being fearful that we punted to the very worst amongst us. At this point, we were truly lost, and the sensation, the realization we were lost fed the fear that some in the W Administration, notably Big D*ck, Donnie and Condi, and outside the Administration, Rudy!, his best friend and felon, Kerik, Krauthammer, Lard Limbaugh and the like would use to political advantage. You’ll notice, at this stage, I don’t label W as a fear-panderer. That came later, when 2004 was shaping up to be a tough election year for W, and the despicable Turd Blossom decided that would be the election them. W followed.

What is so odd is that we had such sterling examples of bravery, command, initiative, courage right at our hands. The passengers on Flight 93, the First Responders, the men and women in New York, Washington and across our country who, a bit shell-shocked, nonetheless went to work the next morning and kept the country going. At this critical time, they were largely ignored because they did not advance the message of fear the Neo-Cons had dictated. And we let them control the message as they led us into Afghanistan, then curtailed the Afghan mission to lead us into an ill-conceived foray into Iraq and botched that mission in its initial stages. It took W the better part of six (6) years to rid himself of this crippling fear.

That is why I was so pleased to see President Obama reject, in no uncertain terms, on-going fear yesterday, and to see him joined in that message by President Clinton and W. It is reassuring to know that the merchants of fear have been so roundly rejected, their work scorned and ridiculed, as we acknowledge the real success of the War Against Terrorism, beginning with the passengers and crew of Flight 93, the First Responders, the ordinary working men and women who returned to work on 12 September and continue through the capture and killing of Bin Laden and the Arab Spring. We are winning the War Against Terrorism, and we are being led very well indeed.

FACT: You’re full of krap. Liberals were just as much Americans on 12 September as anyone else is. It was the Neo-Cons running amok and continuing to run amok for six (6) years until W finally kicked Big D*ck and Donnie in their derrieres and stopped listening to the likes of Lard Limbaugh and Krauthammer. Then, at least, things began to change, a change President Obama has continued and enhanced.

Smear Job, because every one of them, and most top intelligence, worlwide, thought the wmd’s were there.

Did you hear the Advocacy Media ever question why only Bush lied, and how, when all the top Dems had access to the same info?
They just kept repeating the mantra for their Progressive soulmates.

THEY will LIE about anything, as we’re seeing with this guy in the WH now!

Finding offense with Krugman’s assertion that 9/11 should be a day of shame has nothing to do with right wing-left wing. He is welcome to his opinions on who should or should not be heroes, but calling it a day of shame on the 10th anniversary is way over the top.  9/11 has now become a day of shame for Paul Krugman.

I assume by “this guy” you mean President Obama? The gentleman, the leader, the smearing and bashing of whom is your sole sustenance in life? That “guy”. Start tallying the successes in the War Against Terror and in the Middle East. It will shock you just how effective he has been. Far, far more effective than his predecessor and the Neo-Cons. On second thought, don’t bother. If you were deprived of smearing and bashing President Obama, you’d have no reason to wake up in the morning.

The WMD’s comments like that should have disappeared a long time ago since there is so much documented information to draw from. It just makes you sound silly now.

Patsy, patsy, patsy. Namejacking, again? Loser, but, we already knew that about you.

With the highest viewership in cable new. How do you explain that?

Yes but, their not out there actively killing people.

If Fox and Brietbart are the full extent of your investigation, then yes, I can believe those people don’t listen to reason. You know the type, those that listen only to political crap from the left. You can call them Liberals because, that is the literal definition of a Liberal.

You need look no farther than Detroit. France, and England tried to be politically correct. They are paying the price for puerility. When any organization tells you openly that they will kill you if you don’t join, commonsense should tell you those people mean business.

Or, Obimbo being the best president? Sorry, I shouldn’t have taken it that far into creepy!!

Your ignoring Obimbo’s racism. Why is that? How about the multitude of lies he’s muttered? Apparently, being under the Liberal Obimbo-psychosis, forces you to ignore the obvious.   

“Obimbo”. Suck
“Liberal talking heads”. Suck 

We can hope they are milked for all their worth for another 1000 years.

I thought the military was called the United States military? Did I miss something? When did they change the name to Obimbo-military?

Is that some more of the “hope and change” crap that never happened your talking about?

Why are you so jealous. Just because Obama got bin Laden. Or that we are ousting Ghadaffi with out 1 U.S. casualty? Don’t be jealous. Be happy my Obamahating Friend.
