Back in the day, when congressman Richard Nixon was exposing Alger Hiss, it was said that to left wingers, for Nixon to pursue Hiss was despicable - but to be proved right was unforgiveable.
I see some of the same reaction in the right's view of Paul Krugman: to expose conservative follies is despicable, but to be proved right (over and over) is unforgiveable.
