Krugman on the Krazy

[via NYT]
Republicans have become embarrassing to watch. And it doesn’t feel right to make fun of crazy people…. But here’s the thing: the G.O.P. looked as crazy 10 or 15 years ago as it does now. That didn’t stop Republicans from taking control of both Congress and the White House. And they could return to power if the Democrats stumble.

It's all here: the tea parties, the "socialism" of returning tax rates a bit closer to Reagan-era levels, Obama as secret Muslim, the Clintons as secret murderers, the gun-nuts, the anti-evolutionists, the fake grass-roots campaigns selling marginal viewpoints as majority ones. No mention of the anti-sex, anti-choice, anti-gay white-racist stuff, but perhaps a supplement to Krugman on the GOP Krazy Machine will survey the GOP Hate Machine next up?
