Reply #13: If so, then why the overly personal tone when Krugman writes about Obama?

[Barack_America]

Krugman may not have explicitly expressed hatred for Obama, but much can be read between the lines in the language Krugman chooses to use regarding Obama.

For many of us, this piece is where it ceased to be a debate about healthcare policy and became something personal about Obama and his supporters.

In any case, the day that Krugman launched that personal attack against Obama supporters was the day that I stopped listening to Krugman. I can appreciate someone who has intelligent things to say about economics and policy matters, but the moment that person so obviously brings a personal vendetta to print, I will listen no more. I do not watch Fox News only because I disagree with their viewpoints, I do not watch primarily because I abhor their "journalism". Same goes for Krugman.
