From the November 29 broadcast of Fox News' The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly:

O'REILLY: The same people -- Paul Krugman, the New York Times people, all that -- who are saying, "Oh, we need to pull out now for the good of the troops, the good of the country," as soon as we leave, they'll say, "Bush lost the war." That's what they want. They're not -- I don't believe Paul Krugman gives a fig about the troops. And he's -- I'm picking on him because I don't like him. I don't. I mean, you know, obviously if you saw me and him on CNBC last year, I took him apart.

He's a Princeton professor who writes for The New York Times. I don't believe a word he says about anything. I think he's a socialist who hates the country. And, you know, when I see his byline, I just go, "Oh, next."


Geez, he's using "FIG" as an explicit. Pul-lease. Krugman cares more about the troops because he's trying to get them home. Hell your party won't even bother providing the proper body armor that these troops so desperately need

2. Traitor Bin Riley! End the Military Industrial Complex's sacred cow now!
Our troops can leave today with a political solution to the problem and no one has to loose. But if they stay America looses our sons, daughters and hard earned dollars.

3. Does anyone think Krugman gives a damn what O'Reilly thinks (please
excuse the exaggeration, I don't have a better word to use for whatever it is that goes on between his ears).
