Gore Derangement Syndrome?

It's never surprising when liberals try to equate unequal things. So, for example, liberals supporting the Frosts equate their having four children with pro-lifers who disagree with abortion. Of course, these things are completely unequal: supporting the right of children to be born doesn't mean pro-lifers should support people mooching off the system. Yet to liberals, the Frosts are a terrific argument this way.

Hence we see this Paul Krugman column comparing what he calls "Gore Derangement Syndrome" with Bush Derangement Syndrome. And yet again, the comparison falls flat.

Charles Krauthammer coined the term Bush Derangement Syndrome to describe the unhinged Left who blamed President Bush for every ill in the world, from natural disasters to any person killed in Iraq...whether killed by American soldiers or terrorists. You can find BDS on any moonbat site from Echidne to Pandagon to smaller blogs. It's not hard because virtually any thread on any subject will turn up some comment or other on how it's all Bush's fault your bread fell butter-side-down on the floor and he should be impeached for it.

Krugman tries to compare BDS, well-documented for several years, with conservatives questioning Al Gore getting the Nobel Peace Prize. It's amazing watching someone so delusional arguing that questioning what Gore did for world peace equates with accusing the President of causing tsunamis and global warming. Is he serious?

Just One Minute has a nice rebuttal explaining why he agreed with Krugman when Krugman, too, thought Al Gore was an intellectual lightweight.

Jules Crittenden answers Krugman's question.

UPDATE: Maybe Krugman would understand why conservatives think the Nobel Peace Prize has become a political tool if he read about this nominee.
