re: Please explain the rationale for anchoring a thread about a Paul Krugman article

The only rational explanation is that the boards moderators are Democrats and knew that there was nothing in that article that could make Obama look good.

I read Krugman every week. He's an idiot. But I'm into free speech. Let the Krugman's of the world have a place on this board. It's all about freedom.

For starters, there is already a thread on this exact same topic.
Secondly, winning a Nobel prize does not make one all-knowing, nor does it excuse his personality and current partisanship. He isn't nearly as respected as Democrats make him out to be. That is a byproduct of his and his fans' partisanship.
And if you hold Nobel prizes in such high regard, let's not forget Black, Scholes, and Merton.

Not to mention, it's technically not a "Nobel" prize.

Obama is a Nobel peace prize winner and has droned a bunch of kids and kept humans detained at Guantanamo even though he said he would close it.

Nobel Prize
An award that really doesn't mean anything now. Obama won it and he's bombing countries left and right.

You probably love Krugman's Keynesian garbage.

What was the article about?
Obama has been a successful President, and his legacy is rock solid (in a good way).
It was anchored, I believe, because a known troll started it just to rile up the masses.
The troll should e banned, the OP article debated (not much to debate rationally) but either way...

Interesting considering your post before this one, which by the way is par for the course with you:

quote:Rex, I'm not sure what happened there. Someone RA'd the thread and evidently it was anchored in response to that RA, but I'm not sure what the rationale was. Fwiw, I agree with you that there seems to be no good reason for anchoring it.
