To the Seattle Times:

Finally, Paul Krugman has gone beyond the pale, and your paper has published a bigoted piece of trash. Way to go - your profits are tanking, so this must be a good time to call your Republican readers racists, and your minority readers wards of the state. What a complete insult. But did you even see it, through your bigoted lens?

Paul Krugman states that those who want small government, and believe that people should be able to keep what they earn, are racists. He comes right out and says it. We don't want to give our money to "Those people", Krugman states. "Those people" are black. Does it occur to either you or Krugman that minorities are equally oppressed by big government? His comment implies that all blacks are on the dole, and thus are hurt by tax cuts. Does he really think that only whites have jobs?

This is outrageous. I hope you print a retraction and an apology, and drop this bigot from your regular columnists.
