The Paul Krugman blues

Rightardia is a big admirer of Paul Krugman. But most people didn't see Obama the way Krugman did; the right wing thought he was the savior of the left.

When Krugman wrote columns deriding Obama he was atacked and recieved scathing comments on the progressive blogs, more hate mail, and not the fun kind. The messiah or savior is an evangelical term. Rightardia agreed with Krugman that Obama was an intelligent alternative to right wing stupidity and ideology. 

"I won't try for fake evenhandedness here," Krugman wrote. "The Obama campaign seems dangerously close to becoming a cult of personality."

"OK, you did it," one commenter wrote in response. "You lost me. I've defended you on local blogs but you've sunk into low territory." "You're devolving into a caricature with your gross misrepresentations and strident, ignorant defense of the Clinton campaign," another wrote.

"Paul, you're killing a little bit of your readers' souls," a third wrote, "or at least those of us who used to love your column." "The primary was terrible, it was awful," Krugman says.
