If the pitcher's political leanings match theirs, leftists will bat right for him, no matter what crap-ball he delivers from the left. If the pitcher's delivering the right stuff, the leftists will attack him left-handed, using their racism bat. Krugman is such a switch-hitter. Hence, his Nobel pronouncements are much more versatile than those of mere mortals, who strive for consistency in their stance.
“Some people on the left can’t see any excuse for opposition to collectivism except racism. (Which is, of course, as Ayn Rand said, ‘the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism.’) Today it’s Paul Krugman. [...] That is, Paul Krugman can’t understand why people would oppose government control of health care — or skyrocketing deficits, or a federal takeover of education, energy, and finance along with health care — unless they’re driven by racism. [...] It cannot be the case that every parody of a president who happens to be black is racist. And it is not good for democracy to try to counter every opposing argument with such a blood libel. The good news for advocates of limited government is that our opponents are displaying a striking lack of confidence in the actual arguments for their proposals. If they thought they could win a debate on nationalizing health care, or running trillion-dollar deficits, they wouldn’t need to reach for such smears.”

Switch-hitting is to be admired in a ball player, like Mickey Mantle of Hall-of-Fame fame. But in a political shill like Krugman, it is deserving of our collective contempt.
Would you buy a used bat from this guy?
