Hate Springs Eternal for Krugman

Paul Krugman has officially gone off the deep end. Today he writes another hit piece on Barack Obama, but somewhere forgets to include any facts. But he does try to compare Obama to Richard Nixon.

I won’t try for fake evenhandedness here: most of the venom I see is coming from supporters of Mr. Obama, who want their hero or nobody.

Krugman certainly isn't evenhanded. You would expect after this passage he would at least try to cite some example of this venom coming from Obama. Yet, this column is as fact-free as a John Solomon gothcha piece.

Not only that, Krugman seems oblivious to the venom coming from Team Clinton, the lies about how Obama's opposition to the war was a "fairy tale," the dismissing of his primary wins as a rerun of Jesse Jackson, and the completely disingenuous misquoting of Obama's comments on Ronald Reagan. In fact, Krugman has been a main injector of that particular piece of venom.

Look, Paul, I get it. You have a problem with Obama's health care plan. But now you have sunk to Rovian levels of smear and slander. Look in a mirror and you will see that, indeed, hate springs eternal.
