"both parties are deserving of criticism in this regard"
This is an honest question: is hacker news the place for that criticism? Of course, a site like hacker news is defined by its readers, so if you say "yes" you are at least partially right, and maybe entirely right.
It's just that I thought HN wasn't that kind of place.
- WiseWeasel 15y agoI was simply responding to the argument that Krugman was unfairly singling out the Republican party in a partisan attack, which I do not believe to be the case. Personally, I don't see any topic as off-limits on HN (with the possible exception of cute cat photos with captions), as I'm always curious to get the community's take on a wide range of subjects. Once a topic has landed on the front page, I consider the argument settled, and the verdict delivered. Beyond that, it's a problem for the editorial staff to deal with somehow. Me, I'll just go with it, and I am rarely disappointed.
