KRUGMAN EVIL EYE DEMOCRATS
DID DEMOCRATS GIVE THE EVIL EYE TO THE ECONOMY?
Many Observant Jews avoid talking about valuable items they own, good luck that has come to them and, in particular, their children. If any of these are mentioned, the speaker and/or listener will say b'li ayin hara (Hebrew), meaning "without an evil eye", or kein eina hara (Yiddish; often shortened to kennahara), "no evil eye". Another way to ward off the evil eye is to spit three times (or pretend to). Romans call this custom "despuere malum," to spit at evil.[30] It has also been suggested[by whom?] the 10th Commandment: "Do not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor" is a law against bestowing the evil eye on another person.
This is not about the classifications of intelligence, actually, or about the lack thereof, except in some senses as set out below.
But it is related: those of lesser intelligence are more susceptible to such things as the evil eye.
Some Republicans are too dumb, whether morons, imbeciles, retards, idiots, zombies, vampires, robots, etc, to even know that they are being given an evil eye by Democrats or faux Democrats.
But others, higher up the intelligence scale, are aware that they and their policies are being hexed.
