From the American Thinker's Ed Lasky:
Enron adviser and NYT columnist Paul Krugman has also been employed by ex-Malaysian strongman Mahathir Mohammed. Krugman absurdly defended him against charges of anti-Semitism and ignored his role in framing deputy Prime Minister Anwar as corrupt and homosexual, in order to deny Anwar the possibility of replacing Mahathir as leader.
A Malaysian court has just found that the charges were scurrilous, and has awarded a record sum to Anwar as damages. Nothing can compensate him for his ruined political career, six years in jail, and physical torture (the real kind, not Abu Ghraib panty-headgear)
Uber-liberal Krugman saw no problem in Mahathir's attacks against Anwar. While in jail for six years on trumped up charges, Anwar was beaten. No apology has been forthcoming from Mahathir OR KRUGMAN.
Of course, Krugman never had a mea culpa over his being on the payroll of Enron, either.
Back in 2003, CNN was kind enought to put together a Mahathir Mohammed quotebook. Here is what MM said about Jews:
"The Jews for example are not merely hook-nosed, but understand money instinctively." - Mahathir's book 'The Malay Dilemma' 1970
"We (Muslims) are actually very strong. 1.3 billion people cannot be simply wiped out. The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them." - October 2003.
One more, not from MM or Krugman:
By their fruits ye shall know them. Matthew vii. 20.
