Krugman, again

Paul Krugman makes some good points in today's column. Indeed, I've made some similar points myself. But then he says this:

But the Republican base, which lapped up the administration’s rhetoric about the axis of evil and the war on terror, remains infected by the fear the Bushies stirred up — perhaps because fear of terrorists maps so easily into the base’s older fears, including fear of dark-skinned people in general.

What a disgrace.

Update: Apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed this.
