CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER ON PAUL KRUGMAN: Massacre, Followed By Libel. “Rarely in American political discourse has there been a charge so reckless, so scurrilous and so unsupported by evidence. . . . The origins of Loughner’s delusions are clear: mental illness. What are the origins of Krugman’s?”

Just for the record, Krugman has now gotten this treatment from the two newspapers that the NYT folks regard as peers: The Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, both of which have been merciless over the past couple of days. And even within the NYT bubble, he’s been attacked pretty hard.
